Android favourite CyanogenMod, which brings exciting new versions of Android to phones either abandoned or not yet updated by their makers while also throwing more features into the mix, has acquired two new "Xeon-class boxes with lots of RAM" thanks to a public fundraising appeal.
Weekend's here. That means debasement and irresponsibility and, best of all, losing stuff. I'm planning on losing my phone this weekend. Haven't decided where just yet, but that's the fun of it. I might replace it with an iPhone, so here are some apps from this week that I'll load it when I buy it.
I like listening to new music, I like playing games based around the sounds of that new music, and I like gathering the public opinion on everything. You too, right?

I have your weekend plan for you: get stupid drunk and see how high this new breathalyser app for your eyes can go. You will probably pass out after this. When you wake up hungover go outside and make cinemagraphs with Cinemagram.
