Thriller tribute

For anyone mourning Michael Jackson, watch the taped "Thriller" tribute by a truly unexpected corner of his worldwide fanbase: the inmates of a Phillipines prison.

More than 1,500 prisoners, all in coordinated orange jumpsuits, filled the prison yard June 27 with a full version of the five-minute song.

'Little Bribes'

When Death Cab For Cutie released its recent "Open Door" EP, one fan, Ross Ching, above, created and uploaded a time-delay clip, featuring the lyrics of the song "Little Bribes," spelled out in unusual objects.

VoiceMemo

With its new upgraded iPhone, Apple finally realized users might want to record dictated notes, thoughts, ambient sounds or whatever without having to actually call their own voicemail.

Other independent application-builders had already jumped in, making standalone audio-recording apps for the phone.

But Apple's offering not only syncs well, allowing you to save your clips on your desktop, it even features a helpful little indicator, showing recording sound-levels.

Software is available free for the iPhone from Apple.com

'The Photographer: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders'

Afghanistan's troubled present is merely another chapter in its war-ridden history. The medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders ran covert aid missions into the country following the Soviet invasion in 1979.

Now, a photographer who followed those missions has teamed with a graphic artist to illustrate - with shots and sketches - scenes from the country at that time.

The combination results in a vivid and thought-provoking book, released in May.

The book is available for $29.95 at Amazon.com)
