There are actually several XBMC addons that do this sort of Torrent file streaming. Here's one: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=200957
Show HN: GiffyTube – Generating 3 sec GIFs from YouTube videos
I've been playing with this idea for a while and finally took the time to build it over the weekend. I would love some feedback and I'd be happy to answer any questions.The extension adds another link box to the "Share" section on a YouTube page and fills it with a link to my web service. GIFs are three seconds and the start time is controlled by the YouTube player.You can install the extension...

Re:How a bug in Dropbox permanently deleted my 8000 photos

I noticed there hasn't been any mention of attempting to recover your deleted files from your local disk. If you haven't tried it yet it is worth a shot. There are a few software solutions out there that will scan your disk for files that have been deleted. On Windows I have used Piriform's Recuva[1] and on OS X I have used PhotoRec[2], both have worked rather well. It is worth noting that the longer you wait to try the more likely the sectors are to be overwritten with new data. (And you should back up any files currently on the disk). I know it is a long shot at this point but some chance is better than none. Good luck.

Re:How every smartphone platform gets the alarm clock wrong

Sleep Cycle, a sleep tracking alarm clock for iOS, uses the accelerometer to implement snooze with a smack of the phone (while it is on your bed), while the alarm off is the de facto slide to the right. I think this is about the best phone alarm clock I've used for this feature alone. It is so similar to interacting with a regular alarm clock.
