Facebook, as we know, generally does major interface updates to its application server-side, so users occasionally get seemingly random glimpses of new features or UI designs before they launch. The [FB-ONLY] tag on this button for Phone would seem to indicate somebody flipped the wrong switch, and this element went live before it was supposed to. Tapping the button to install or update it does nothing but throw you to a "no page found" error, which is probably because the application is stored internally on Facebook's intranet for security purposes.

What we can divine from this button is, well, not a huge amount - but then again, it does just seem to be a dialer replacement. Phone will block calls from commonly blocked numbers and show you detailed information about incoming calls, a lot like the Whitepages Caller ID app. Presumably, Facebook will also be anonymizing your incoming call data for marketing and research purposes, because why else would they want to release an app like this?

We don't know if or when Phone will come to exist as a thing publicly, but it does seem like Facebook is at least testing it.

If you love watching in short-throw projectors and hate money, you can officially purchase Sony’s brand new short throw 4K projector for a grand total of $US50,000 dollars. But if and only if you live in the New York area.

When Sony says the VPL-GTZ1 ($50,000) is an "ultra-short-throw" projector, everyone thinks they are kidding but they showed it to all. It can project a massive image from 0 inches away yes Zero. The case can be against the wall you're projecting on.

But even more important was the news that you'll be able to get hundreds of 4K movies in your home very soon. Interested?

Honestly, though, if you can afford it, go for it. This thing is actually pretty great. [Sony]

The cofounder of Digg has a new photo app that's perfect for people who don't like to post photos or videos of themselves. It's called Tiiny.

Tiiny has a simple interface that lets you capture a photo or 5-second-long GIF, without sound. All your media's are displayed in a continually-refreshing grid that your friends can follow and check's out. Your images appear very tiny - at 212 pixels x 212 pixels each - and your followers can't expand them to see detail. Your friends can only like them. Which means you won't have to be look impeccable in every shot, because no one will see all the fine details.

But that's not all: your photos and GIFs disappear after about 24 hours. Tiiny wants everyone to know their photos aren't permanent things sitting in some album on your online profile for everyone to examine and scrutinise. You should feel comfortable posting through Tiiny because things are small and won't come back to haunt you.

Kevin Rose former American Internet entrepreneur who co-founded Revision3, Digg, Pownce, and Milk, only recently launched Tiiny but won't be phased if it doesn't become a huge hit like Snapchat, according to TechCrunch. The app only took three weeks to build at his mobile lab called North, and the small team behind it plans to release a new app every few months until one explodes in popularity: “It’s about having as many shots on goal as possible,” Rose admitted in an interview.

Tiiny is available in Apple's App Store as a free download. It requires iOS 7 or later and is optimized mainly for iPhone 5.
