Kim Kardashian Kameos on 30 Rock Live Episode
Dear residents of the Pacific Time Zone: we are very sorry.
Last night, 30 Rock actually aired two episodes, both live, both featuring different versions. Those on the East Coast were treated to legendary musician Paul McCartney making a cameo. Those on the West Coast? Kim Kardashian.
Some might consider that a step down.
Dressed like a professional Kabletown worker, Kim first showed up for a scene in Jack's office, wandering in, shaking Alec Baldwin's hand and using the bathroom.
She then appeared later after one character proposed to another and Tina Fey's Liz Lemom mocked her own show's ratings by saying: "Wow, 2.5 million people just saw that."
Enter Kim and a video recorded and the line: "Now 14 million people just saw that. You're welcome."
"Anyone see 30 Rock tonight??? I had a blast!!!! Love this show!" Kim Tweeted following her surprise visit.
Sigh. Let's all relive the best 30 Rock quotes now at TV Fanatic and pretend like this cameo never existed.

Google Maps offers photo tours of popular destinations, won't make you leave the couch (video)
Looking to get a better feel for that Yosemite National Park expedition this summer? Google Maps is looking to go beyond the regular ol' snapshot and offer an experience that feels more like an actual visit -- only you won't have to leave your sofa. The folks in Mountain View have added photo tours to over 15,000 sites around the globe from Italy to the aforementioned Half Dome in California. A search for your virtual destination of choice will indicate whether or not a tour is available for that particular locale. How does it work? The outfit uses user-contributed Picasa and Panaromio photos -- only those listed as public -- alongside some fancy computer techniques to provide a 3D tour. Along the way, Maps selects the best possible path through the highest quality images. At the bottom of each photo, contributor credit is given and Goog says when more shots get shared, these tours will improve over time. You'll need Google Maps with WebGL to get the sightseeing started, though. If you're looking for a quick preview, hit the video just past the break.

Scalado Album launches for Android, we go hands-on (video)
Scalado just released Album, its first ever Android app to land in Google's Play store. The company -- which is best known for imaging technologies such as zero shutter lag, Rewind and Remove -- usually provides software to device manufacturers instead of end users directly. Album is billed as "a simple to use, high performance, photo/video viewer with a clean and smooth user interface" that handles pictures up to 200 (!) megapixels in size. The app costs $0.99 and is available for both smartphones and tablets. It features some interesting touches, like the ability to browse geotagged images using a map view.
We had the opportunity to take Album for a spin before launch and the app offers an intuitive and responsive user experience. Beyond organizing photos into bins like the "camera roll" and the existing folders on your device, the main screen lets you browse content by time (monthly) and location (including nearby). Pictures can be deleted, shared, rotated in place, cropped and turned into wallpaper. Animated thumbnails are used for videos, and multiple items can be selected. Check the gallery below, and hit the break for Scalado's demo video and PR.

Nintendo confirms that it's selling 3DS at a loss, expects that to change
Ever since Nintendo slashed the price of the 3DS, there's been plenty of speculation that the gaming giant has been selling the portable console at a loss. The company acknowledged that fact during its disappointing earnings report, stating, "its hardware has been sold below cost because of its significant price cut in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012," something that's uncharacteristic of the company's past operations. But as with its fairly unfortunate financials, the company plans to turn things around, adding, "Nintendo expects to cease selling it below cost by the middle of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013."
