50 Issue 70 / 2014 TECHNOLOGY guestlist.net NEXT GLASS App scientifically tailors your taste to every drink.. Next Glass has tested over 23,000 bottles to help you decide whether you will like a drink when scanning the bottle. With a huge database, you get a personalised score with nutritional information. This is ideal for those with particular tastes, with the app using lab data of each drink such as wine or beer to calculate how much it matches your taste. PLAGUE Newest home for spreading viral photos and videos You might think that the market for apps sharing photos and videos is well covered. What makes Plague special is there are no followers or friends, offering equal opportunities so that any upload has the chance to go viral. When any photo is shared, it is automatically sent to four near-by Plague users. It also informs you how far and where it has spread. THE POSITIVE SIDE OF FILE SHARING: 'THE MAN FROM EARTH' FILM RESURRECTION Eric D.Wilkinson thanks 'pirates' for torrenting his 1998 movie The torrent site RLSLog.net recently received an email of gratitude from film director Wilkinson af- ter the site made his film available to tor- rent. Positive reviews on Amazon and IMDB appeared as Wilkin- son revealed in an email to RLSLog that the movie went from 11,235th in the most popular movie cat- egory to 5th on IMDB, and also reached the number one spot for independent movies. This is with no adver- tising budget and over a decade after the re- lease. Clearly piracy is not all doom and gloom for the film in- dustry, in fact quite the opposite as many can use torrents as a 'preview' before buy- ing the movie.
