There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Scott Hansen found this great post from Kodak about what was probably the world's first digital camera, built back in 1975. The 'film-less photography' device could only display images on a TV, and it recorded images directly to cassette. [From: Kodak, via: iso50]
  • Photoshop aficionados, mark your calendars. The epic 'Layer Tennis' creative matches return this Friday. [From: Coudal]
  • Stephen Wolfram, scientist and mind behind Mathematica, details his computing setup, mixing Windows machines and Mac mobile devices. [From: The Setup]
  • Classic '80s movies like 'Ghostbusters,' 'The Goonies' and 'Gremlins' get the retro 8-bit treatment in the 3G art show. [From: Geekosystem]
