Logging into Google earlier today I noticed a new feature: Themes. Themes let you customize your Gmail experience with a distinct look. There are currently about 35 themes to choose from and I’m sure Google will add more in the future. Some of the themes are even customized to you depending on your location. To choose a theme, go to Gmail and click a thumbnail on the Themes tab of your Settings page.
More on Gmail themes.

Search millions of historic photos from the Google LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google. Once you find a photo that interests you, click it for a larger version with a short description along with the location, date taken, photgrapher name and size of the photo. You can browse the photos through decades, categories or just choose to search whatever you have in mind.

Little Big Planet must be selling really well because there are rumors of bringing it to the PSP sometime in 2009. The game could give the PSP a little boost in sales which have been lagging as developer’s have been developing on the DS more as of late. How much Sackboy will have to give up in order to be ported to the PS3’s little portable friend?

The Best Buy black friday (day after Thanksgiving) sales ad has hit the internet and it’s not looking too impresive this year. In the past Best Buy has provided some of the best doorbuster deals of all the major retailers but with the financial market in ruins, and people looking for deals every which way, maybe Best Buy couldn’t afford to let things go at ridiculous prices. Or maybe people are just sick and tired camping out in front of a store for two days in the freezing cold in order to try and save $300 on a new TV.

I don’t enjoy rebuying my movie collection every time a new format comes out, first VHS, then DVD and now digital. The thing I like least about buying digital is that it’s stuck in a format that I can’t physically touch. I’m glad Apple realized we don’t want to pay a lot for digital movies because they started an iTunes store movie bargain bin. A bunch of movies will be released each week for only $5. With movies like Terminator 2 on the list, the movies are pretty good too. Not sure yet if by limited time they mean the movies or the bargain bin but we should find out next week.

You see colorful attention grabbing gift cards all the time while waiting in line at stores but they usually don’t serve a function other than being a card for spending money. This season, Target is doing something a little different, a functional digital camera and gift card in one. The camera features 1.2MP and 8MB of on board memory for about 50 shots and comes with a USB cord, driver disk and a 40 free prints voucher. After you spend the initial $50-$1,000 gift, the camera can be reloaded with money and memories.
