Vine Flip takes your Vine videos analog
Twitter's free Vine app has been around for about two months, capturing six-second videos for sharing with the rest of the world. Now there's Vine Flip, a service that wants you to get offline and go analog with your brief masterpieces. Vine Flip does this by converting your videos into paper flipbooks. Vine Flip is simple: you sign up for the service and then enter the URL for your Vine video on Vine Flip in your favorite browser. To get that URL, just tap the share button in the Vine app, then tap "Embed" and email the URL to yourself -- you'll have to remove the "/embed" portion. Click continue in Vine Flip, and you should see your Vine movie playing. Next you get to pick one of three covers, and then choose how many flipbooks you want. The service charges US$10 for a pair of flipbooks, $24 for a 5-pack, $45 for 10 or $85 for 20. Within days, the flipbooks are delivered to you for flippin' fun! While the pricing's a little steep for everyday use, these flipbooks could be fun for party favors or gifts. Can you imagine being a wedding guest and getting a flipbook of the bride and groom doing something idiotic? Vine Flip looks like a fun way to get hands-on with digital video.

Denis Dyack shows he is only 'Too Human'
Too Human to outside observers is slowly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of the Xbox 360. After making a -- oh, how to put it kindly -- laggy presentation at the last E3, it went MIA for X06 and *poof* Too Human was gone.Now Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack has allegedly made a statement following a heated NeoGAF thread about another Too Human delay. Dyack says, "I am sorry to see not much has changed here on the GAF. There should be no question as to why many developers do not post here. Thanks to those who were positive and made some logical comments ... In time these comments will be bearers of fruit. Unfortunately for many here, they are going to be very bitter."At this point nobody has any idea when this game will come out. It could be Q4 2007 or sometime in 2008. Rumor has it that we'll get another chance to see Too Human at Min-E3. As long as it doesn't chug at 25 frames per second, it'll be a vast improvement over last E3.[via CVG]
