Anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock (and assuming your rock doesn’t have WiFi access) just knows. The news of Steve Job’s passing has exploded across the internet with tribute videos, old video viewings, and news blasts in the form of tweets, posts, and updates at an all time high.

But not to embark on an Apples to oranges argument, the influence of Apple Computers has had, in the tech consumer world, been undeniably profound with Steve Jobs at the forefront.

A cool project that I recently found that holds some sentimental value to myself is 110 Stories, an app that allows the user to superimpose the World Trade Center Towers back into the skyline.
The app will first guide the user to the correct orientation so that the towers are placed accurately in the picture. One can then take a picture and write a story about whatever their heart desires. The picture and note will then be showed on an online map where you can view locations where others have taken pictures from and comment.
