iPhone case also adds 8x zoom camera lens

Earlier this week, my iPhone 3G had an unfortunate run in with the tiled floor of my bathroom which resulted in the purchase of an iPhone 3GS. I’m loving the updated camera on the 3GS, but the good folks at USBFever asked me (via their Website) if I “want to turn [my] iPhone to superb stuff?”

I, like any iPhone owner, would love my iPhone to be superb stuff and that’s where the 8X Telescope with Hard Case for iPhone 3G/3GS comes in. As you might have guessed, the 8X Telescope with Hard Case for iPhone is an iPhone case with a 8x zoom lens—which appears to be almost as long as the product's name—attached to it.

To use, pop your iPhone into the case and snap it onto the included stand. You can now shoot photos or videos of things eight times farther away. The telescope attachment is fixed, so it's always going to zoom at eight times. There's also a manual focus for fine-tuning your image. Check out this kind of creepy YouTube video to see the whole thing in action.

8X Telescope with Hard Case for iPhone will start shipping on November 25th and will set you back $29.

Facebook Groups Hijacked By Online Activists

Members of the controlyour.info (CYI) group claimed on Tuesday to have seized control of nearly 300 Facebook community groups in an effort to draw attention to questions concerning online privacy awareness.

The activists discovered that many groups on Facebook were left without an administrator, after a Google search
. Then they joined 289 open groups and made theirselves administrators. Once they were administrators theyr owned the groups and could have changed any setting. However, they chose to change the picture, the name and the description of every group.

"Our intention was and is to restore these groups to their original form and find a suitable admin among the members. To be able to do this, we first backed up all the data we wanted to replace," the FYI members wrote in a blog post.

"If you chose to express yourself on the Internet, make sure the expressions are your own and not a spammers. This isn't some kind of scare tactic, nor is it a hack, it's a feature that can be used, and is being used, in bad ways."

The FYI members admitted that they had broken the terms of service, as defined in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of Facebook"You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission".

"We created fictive accounts for one reason: we wanted to put focus on our message rather than our persons. It also eased the process of joining and administrating this large number of groups," the activists added.
