More images and details emerge about Ikea's Uppleva

Did you not get enough Swedish furniture pr0n yesterday with the announcement of Ikea's Uppleva? Well, we've got a slew of new images and some new details for you. As far as specs, it seems that the sets will be available in 24, 36, 40 and 46 inches and all are LED backlit. They'll also all sport WiFi and "smart TV" features including the Opera browser -- except for the 24-incher, which must accept its role as the runt of the litter. The TVs will also come attached to three different TV bench designs in six different finishes. While we weren't able to score our own units yet, M3 did and you can check out their hands-on out at the source link.

The death of pop-culture icon Dick Clark has hit the entertainment world especially hard. Moments after news broke that the producer, radio personality and "American Bandstand" and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host had died of a heart attack at age 82, some of showbiz's biggest names expressed their sadness over the loss.

Ryan Seacrest, who has long been Clark's heir apparent, having taken over the hosting duties on his "New Year's Rockin' Eve," said in a statement, "I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Dick Clark. He has truly been one of the greatest influences in my life. I idolized him from the start, and I was graced early on in my career with his generous advice and counsel. When I joined his show in 2006, it was a dream come true to work with him every New Year's Eve for the last 6 years. He was smart, charming, funny and always a true gentleman. I learned a great deal from him, and I'll always be indebted to him for his faith and support of me. He was a remarkable host and businessman and left a rich legacy to television audiences around the world. We will all miss him."

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Dick Clark. He has truly been one of the greatest influences in my life.

Carson Daly, who has also taken career cues from Clark, said in a statement: "We lost an icon today. I will always cherish the personal time we had together. I am forever indebted to Dick Clark and his legacy. My heart goes out to his family."

The love for Clark seems to defy genre, as his work on TV helped very diverse artists break into the mainstream. Russell Simmons tweeted, "Dick Clark was eternally young. No matter what culturally phenomenon was happening, he always embraced it. RIP..."

An MTV VP recalls his first job in television, working for the late Dick Clark.

Snoop Dogg added, "REST IN PEACE to the DICK CLARK!! U were pioneer n a good man!! Thank u sir."

Big Boi simply tweeted a photo of him and Outkast partner Andre 3000 standing alongside Clark, with the message "R.I.P Dick Clark."

Like Big Boi, "Weird Al" Yankovic also posted a photo of himself with the TV host, writing, "Such sad news. RIP Dick Clark."

Certainly his influence on merging music and television can be seen on TV today, especially on shows like "Glee." "A sad day as we have lost Dick Clark, an American Icon. You will be missed," one of the show's stars, Matthew Morrison, tweeted.

His loss is also felt by the pop world, with '80s boy banders New Kids on the Block tweeting, "#RIPDickClark. A true music maverick. You will be missed."

Their tourmates, the Backstreet Boys, added, ‏"Our hearts go out 2 Dick Clark's family. The memories u've created will live forever & r experiences w/ u is something we will cherish 4 all r lives."

Kings of Leon's Jared Followill seemed surprised by the news, writing, "R.I.P. Dick Clark? Say it ain't so..."

Madonna's manager Guy Oseary also tweeted about Clark's death. Back in the early '80s, just as Madge was taking her career to the next level, she famously declared on "Bandstand" that her ultimate goal was "to rule the world." Linking to a clip of that 1984 appearance, Oseary wrote, "Rest in Peace DIck Clark ..."

Shiprack Package Tracker [Android App Review]

If you're used to getting loads of mail and you like to keep track of where it is as it's being delivered, Shiprack is definitely worthy of your consideration and time. Hot on the heels of Phil's review of Slice (okay, not really on the heels of), it's time to see if Shiprack is the less invasive alternative to Slice. (Hint: it is.)

Setting up Shiprack is an absolute breeze. Once you've got it all nice and installed, you have to set up what e-mail account Shiprack will be looking for emails from. Shiprack operates very similarly to Tripit; whenever you receive an email with a tracking number in it, you forward the email off to Shiprack, and they'll automatically start tracking it for you.

This is great (to me), because you can only track purchases that you want? tracked. Shiprack doesn't automatically search your entire inbox, so if there's anything that isn't really pressing, you can simply omit it. Shiprack also doesn't tally your total expenses on things, so there's that small element of ignorance that can keep your shopping and package-tracking guilt free!

Once you've got a package tracked, you'll be able to see all kinds of cool information, namely your item's tracking number and when it's estimated to be delivered. Shiprack seems to update in near-real time, so you'll have a detailed log of whenever your package hit a new checkpoint.

If you're interested, you can also see a map (on Google Maps, of course), detailing your item's journey, with colorful lines and goofy looking thumb tacks showing each new leg of its journey.

In the settings menu, you can add email aliases that you'd also like to forward tracking information from, so if you get lots of tracking numbers across lots of accounts, Shiprack has you covered. You can also mess with the typical fare like notification tones and vibration options, but something unique to Shiprack is the ability to set quiet times. It's not life-changing, but it's cool to see it there.

Finally, you can pick and choose what updates you'd like Shiprack to notify you of. I'm pretty crazy when it comes to my goods, so I want to see everything, but you've got full control over knowing if your stuff is ready to ship, in transit, or delayed, to name a few.

In the world of package trackers, I think Shiprack really nailed it. What it lacks in visual polish, it more than makes up for in functionality, plus, you've got the freedom to choose what gets tracked. That might not seem like a big deal to some, but in a world where our information is becoming increasingly public, every little bit I can keep my hands on, I like to do just that.

Shiprack is free and ad-supported, but if you'd like to simultaneously support the developer and? remove the ads, there's an in-app purchase of 99 cents. We've got download links after the break.

Microsoft updates Bing Translator for Windows Phone with offline features (video)

Never again will Windows Phone owners worry about ordering raw beef in Spain without first knowing what'll arrive on their plate. That's because the crew at Microsoft have updated the Bing Translator app, which is available for free in the Marketplace. It now allows users to point their cameras at otherwise unintelligible text and then view a proper translation as an overlay on the photograph. As another nifty trick, Bing Translate allows users to speak phrases into their phone, which will then be audibly translated into a foreign language of choice. Most impressive, however, is the app's new offline capabilities, which can be enabled with the simple download of a language pack. Bing Translator supports English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Chinese Simplified, and if you'd like a peek into its functionality, just hop the break for the video.
