Allegedly Google plans to feature the interiors of participating retail stores on Google Maps . Because, well, I’m not really sure why. Something to do with controlling the world though, that’s a given. The report comes from Search Engine Land, which was contacted by a New York company called Oh Nuts. Apparently the almond-monger recently got a visit from camera-toting Google guys, who photographed their entire store, six feet at a time, in every direction. So essentially, you’d be able to see a storefront in Street View, click on it, and check out the interior for inventory, cleanliness, layout, etc. Interesting, Google, but you know what would be even more helpful? Live webcams in Victoria’s Secret dressing rooms. That would be huge. And speaking of huge — go ahead and throw some in the plus-size stores as well. I LIKE ‘EM THICK! I’m serious — if I can’t stand comfortably in one leg of a woman’s panties I….throw that pair back and try another dryer. Google Wants to Add Store Interiors to Maps [gizmodo] Thanks to Craig, who’s only interested in pet store cams. Keep the tips coming, Craig!

This is another video tutorial of how to make yourself up like a Na’vi . Except this clown does it all in 10 seconds (with lots of cheating). It’s also a horribly disguised viral for that Samsung camera. Of course, I posted it so it can’t be THAT bad. Yes, yes it can be. Damnit, Samsung, don’t think I won’t boycott you. I don’t care how vibrant the picture is on your new UN46B7000 46″ 1080p LED Backlit HDTV. OR how much it’ll reduce my energy bill versus a traditional LCD TV. I mean, so what if it boasts a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio and an 120Hz frequency that virtually eliminates all motion blur? (I’ll email my bank info, you wire me a grand). Youtube Thanks to Marija and Christina, one or both of which may have been hired to trick me into posting this.

It's so odd to see this family do anything remotely "normal" because they're so … not, but last night Victoria and the boys proved they were just like us, by renting a movie at Blockbuster and spending the night in!…

This is a Polaroid camera made out of LEGO. It’s cute. If you point and clicked it at an aborigine, it would steal their soul. And I would buy that soul from you to complete my soul necklace . Then I would use the combined power of said necklace and custom f***-up boots to destroy Jacob AND Esau from LOST. Then the island would be mine and I would throw a luau, where we will roast a polar bear. Am I a genius or what? Dharma-beer me! Lego Polaroid Camera Can’t Possibly Be More Cute and Lovely [gizmodo]

Howard Boys (that’s the guy’s name, not like the Hardy Boys) went and made himself a functional steampunk camera. This is it. It looks old and takes pictures . Just like your grandparents on vacation! Howard Boys took things old school with this camera that he created himself out of soldered brass. Howard purchased the lens and the shutter and built the rest. Nice, Howard — or should I call you Mr. Boys? Yeah, that’s pretty creepy, I’m gonna stick with Howard. Well, Howard, not to toot my own horn develop my own film or anything, but one time I made a camera out of a Quaker Oats canister . So, who’s the master photographer now? Just sayin’, I wasn’t arrested during that Victoria’s Secret catalog shoot for no reason. Steampunk Camera: Guy Builds Own Camera Body [uberreview]

This is a camera designed at the Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan that features 158 individual lenses . Why so many? To take 3-D pictures of a candle flame. And here I was thinking they were gonna use it to look up girls’ skirts. Which, you know they are! Japan, Japan, Japan, what am I gonna do with you? Record-breaking camera has 158 lenses [dvice] Thanks to Carl, who doesn’t need a camera to look up skirts because he has a bicycle mirror taped to his shoe.

But why? Is the actress playing a game of fetch with herself? Does she have plans to club the paparazzi with it? Who knows, but we spotted Ms. Dunst filming in Lancaster (which is kinda out in the boonies…

Want an 8x zoom lens for your DSi because you’re secretly a spy ? Me neither. Want an 8x zoom lens for your DSi because you’re in love with the receptionist at the free clinic and you want to candidly take pictures of her? You’ve got problems. But if you’ve also got $25 you can have the Nyko DSi Zoom Case, a case and lens that attach to your DSi and allow up to 8x zoom. Plus, it’s super inconspicuous. Goodbye bow tie camera! Hit the jump for a shot of it’s zooming capabilities and all the accessories.

Nick Nolte failed his audition to become a new photog for X17 by breaking the first rule of shooting: Always make sure your lens cap is off. Ya can't really blame Nick for wanting a little work to take his…
