Aviary online image editor leaves the roost, launches public beta
Aviary provides a suite of web-based image editing tools that are pretty impressive when compared to the competition. Like Picnik, Fotoflexer, and others, Aviary lets users upload images and do some basic cropping, resizing, drawing, and color correction. But Aviary also has a web-based screen capture utility, a vector graphics editor, and filter and color management tools.
The site offers access to the basic image editor, called Phoenix, for free. But you'll have to pay $9.99 a month for a Pro account if you want unlimited access to some of the more advanced tools.
Aviary also incorporates a number of social elements. In addition to being able to import files from Flickr, Picasa, and Facebook, you can share files with other Aviary users, comment on images created by others, or even remix them.
We first looked at Aviary earlier this year when the service was still in private beta. But the service is now open to the public.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
