We’re pretty sure no one has ever said, “You can’t have your Instagram and eat it, too,” but thanks to U.K.-based Boomf, they’d be wrong if they had.
As reported by CNET, Boomf allows users to print their images from the Facebook-owned photo-sharing network directly onto edible marshmallows.
Boomf packages contain nine marshmallows with customers’ chosen images, and they cost about $20, according to CNET, which added that the service is currently available in the U.K. only, and shipping is free. The company told CNET international shipping may be added in 2014.
For best results, it is best to avoid Instagrams with large dark areas, the detail gets slightly lost.
Readers: Are any of your images on Instagram good enough to eat?
Empowering people is what makes them go beyond the call of duty, says Lord Charles Allen, chairman of the world's biggest cleaning company.
"Succession planning is the key. I would recruit who I think would be particularly good in that area - somebody better than me. You've got to pass the baton. The weaker CEOs don't do that."

Facebook no longer employs George Hotz, also known as geohot, the infamous hacker who unlocked the iPhone, as well as hacked the PlayStation 3, and subsequently got sued by Sony.
Hacker George Hotz, also known as geohot, no longer works for Facebook. It's not clear where he works now, or why he left, but we do know he's spending his free time doing what he loves: hacking. Hotz was most recently spotted at a hackathon hosted by a startup called Backplane, which is funded by Lady Gaga.
Back in June 2011, multiple sources started talking about how Hotz works at Facebook. This was quickly followed by a post from Hotz himself, and then a Facebook spokesperson confirmed the news to me, although a full statement was not given.
As you can see in the video above, Business Insider caught up with Hotz at Backplane. He may not work at Facebook anymore, but he's still fascinated by the company: during the hackathon, he built an app that allows you to see where your Facebook friends are on a map. He was wanted the actual photos of his Facebook profile friends on it, and when another hacker suggested that Hotz filter the results by gender, he added an option for it to sort by female or male.
Hotz is a young American hacker born on October 2, 1989. He is known for unlocking the iPhone, as well as hacking the PlayStation 3 and subsequently being sued by Sony. It's not known what Facebook asked Hotz to work on while he was at the company, but whatever it was, it didn't keep him interested for very long. As you can see in the links below, Hotz was in the news quite a lot in the last few years, so everyone is keen to see what he'll do next.
Jonathan Dowdall has quit as a Dublin city councillor.
SINN FÉIN’S JONATHAN Dowdall has resigned from Dublin City Council this afternoon.
The council confirmed the decision in an email to all councillors this afternoon with the 34-year-old businessman’s resignation taking effect from this Sunday.
He could not be reached for comment today.
Dowdall’s decision follows a long-running saga in which he initially backtracked on a decision to step down from his seat for health reasons last September.
Dowdall later said he intended quitting Sinn Féin altogether after claiming a “small element” in the party in north inner city Dublin spread negative rumours about him.
But he then told TheJournal.ie last October that he was “delighted” to be remaining with Sinn Féin and said that the decision came after talks with party figures.
The vacant seat will now be filled by a member of Sinn Féin who will be co-opted onto the council.
In a statement this afternoon, the Sinn Féin group leader Séamas McGrattan said: “We wish Jonathan the best in the future and his contribution to the Dublin Sinn Féin council team will be greatly missed.
“I would like to acknowledge his commitment to the party and I am sorry to lose such a valuable member of the group.
Email “The Sinn Féin councillor who resigned and then backtracked has now resigned again”.

Need a reservation suggestion this February? OpenTable has released this year's list of the most romantic restaurants to coincide with the Hallmarkiest of holidays — Valentine's Day. Based on reviews from OpenTable diners, two Austin establishments ranked among the top 100 most romantic places to eat across the country.
Even on a list drenched with Parisian-esque names, the French-inspired laV stands out. Lauded for its divine entrees and extensive wine list, the luscious ambience was also named as one of the most attractive aspects of this sweet East Austin spot. After all, who can compete with decadent chandeliers, fabulous fare and amazing interiors?
Other Texas restaurants with a recipe for romance include the French Room (Dallas), Spindletop (Houston), Chez Nous French Restaurant (Humble), Vintage House Restaurant at Messina Hof (Bryan) and Republic of Texas Bar & Grill (Corpus Christi).
The Islamic State militant group, also known as ISIS, released a new propaganda video featuring its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi outlining the structure of the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate. The video was released by the Al-Furqan media wing, the same branch that released the execution videos of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
The video also mentions detail about Baghdadi’s role in the group, stating that he is responsible for preparing ISIS’s armies, protecting the various fronts the group fights on, defending the homeland and spreading the group’s ultra-conservative brand of Islam. He also makes sure that the Sharia law is followed by those living under its rule. It is unclear when and where the video was taken.
ISIS claims that it has 35 provinces across the world in total under its control, with 19 in Iraq and Syria and 16 outside, such as in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Yemen.
The video also shows clips of ISIS fighters and several children dressed in military outfits holding the group’s black and white flag. The video's release date coincides with Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. During this time, several attacks have been carried out in Iraq, Bangladesh,Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, all claimed by ISIS.
Three Texas Sonic Drive-In workers were busted after an 11-year-old girl found an Ecstasy pill while unwrapping a hamburger for her 4-year-old brother Thursday night.
Authorities said the family, which has not been identified, brought in the entire meal, including the pill, to the police station. After tests were performed, officials determined the pill was Ecstasy, reported Austin-area TV station KVUE.
Law enforcement in Taylor, Tex., said they began an immediate probe into investigating the restaurant employees likely connected to the incident. Soon after, three workers were arrested: 22-year-old Jose Molina; Jonathan Roberson, 35; and Tanisha Dancer, 30.
According to cops, Molina was in possession of marijuana at the time of his arrest. Dancer was booked for an outstanding parole violation warrant and Roberson was sought for failing to appear/bail jumping, bond forfeiture, theft by check and driving while license invalid.
At Williamson County Jail, a search of Dancer produced three Ecstasy pills. She is charged with possession of a controlled substance, delivery of a controlled substance and endangering a child, all felonies.
Sonic’s director of operations claimed Dancer’s employment had been terminated. Authorities said the public’s safety is not at risk following the arrests.
“No family ever wants to go to a fast-food restaurant and be worried about kids getting served horrible drugs that could damage their kids or even kill them,” said local neighbor Michael Prock.
Autozone has a zero tolerance policy against employees who bring their own weapons into the store.
The suspect, known in the area as “The Fake Beard Bandit,” according to reports, had robbed over 30 locations in the area and was about to do it again before he ran into Autozone employee Devin Mclean.
An AutoZone employee was fired two days after he used his own personal firearm to thwart an armed robbery in the store he worked in, WTKR.com reported.
The suspect, known in the area as "the Fake Beard Bandit," according to reports, had allegedly robbed over 30 locations in the York, Va. area, WTKR reported. He was about to do it again before he ran into Autozone employee Devin Mclean.
“I was in fear of my life as soon as he walked through the door and I see the gun. Your heart just starts pounding,” Mclean said.
Once the robber made his way to the front of the store, Mclean said he ran out through the back of the AutoZone and obtained his own weapon from his truck in the parking lot. Mclean confronted the robber, who put his hands in the air before he ran out of the store, according to Mclean.
While the local community and even his own manager said they were happy for his actions, he was fired two days later. AutoZone has a zero tolerance policy against employees who bring their own weapons into the store.
“If I can save somebody’s life, I put that way above a store policy,” Mclean told WTKR.com.
The politics are the most recent development. Chile held the first round of its presidential election on Dec. 13, and right-wing candidate Sebastian Piñera won 44% of the vote. More importantly, the two furthest-left candidates were knocked out so the run-off on Jan. 17 will be between Piñera and the center-left Eduardo Frei, who got 30%.
Frei was already president once, in the late 1990s. At that time, he pursued a moderate pro-business course, certainly somewhat to the right of the outgoing President Michelle Bachelet. So Chile's politics are likely to become at least mildly more pro-business and possibly much more so.
Since the country – even under President Bachelet – was already the best-run country in Latin America (you can sensibly argue for Alvaro Uribe's Colombia, but not really Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's Brazil when you look closely), that's really very good news, indeed.
But here's the real kicker: If just a few other factors shift from neutral to favorable, it could lead to some stellar growth as global investors choose Chile as their Latin American base.
Chile is the world's largest producer of copper, accounting for a full third – and perhaps a bit more – of the world's total output. Since the price of copper zoomed 115% so far this year, that market muscle translated into a strong 2009.
Naturally, Chile's dominance in copper makes the country vulnerable if copper prices drop. So during the years of boom and high copper prices before 2008, the country and its leadership shrewdly and wisely created a "rainy day" fund it could use when copper prices slump.
That fund is worth $19.5 billion – the equivalent of 10.5% of Chile's gross domestic product (GDP). And it's already paying dividends.
In the last quarter of 2008 copper prices dropped, so Chile undertook a "stimulus" of 2.5% of GDP – an easily affordable bargain under the circumstances. The budget deficit is 4% of GDP because of the recession, but that's easy to deal with: Thanks to the forward-thinking, there's no budget problem to speak of.
The team of forecasters assembled by The Economist estimates that Chilean GDP will have dropped by 1.2% in 2009. But the forecast says the country's economy will rebound smartly in the New Year – and will advance at a healthy 3.5% clip in 2010. And with copper prices high, that would well be an underestimate.
Chile is sitting in the exact sweet spot of the current recovery, and is well worth some investment. Because of the country's relative stability, however, the market is not especially cheap, trading at 17.6 times earnings. But it is cheaper than the U.S. Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which is trading at 18.6 times earnings.
Despite its small size – or perhaps because of it – Chile has tried to be as open as possible to foreign investment capital. That's been true since the 1980s, which is why there are more than a dozen Chilean stocks that trade on the New York Stock Exchange as American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
Banco de Chile SA (NYSE ADR: BCH): Banco de Chile is the country's largest bank. It is controlled by Quiñenco SA, part of the Luksic Group of companies, and has branches in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the United States. The company trades at 14 times projected 2009 earnings, with a dividend yield of 4.5%. Since Chile hasn't had a deep recession, banking remains a good business, although 2009 earnings were down.
CorpBanca SA (NYSE ADR : BCA): Although CorpBanca is on the fifth-largest bank in Chile, it is consistently the most profitable. Currently, CorpBanca's ADRs trade at only nine times earnings, and feature a dividend yield of 3.6%. Third-quarter earnings were up 8% from the second quarter, so the shares seem very reasonably priced.
Lan Airlines SA (NYSE ADR : LFL): Normally I'd suggest you were mad to invest in an airline (a business that has lost money worldwide over the entire 106 years since the Wright Brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk). In the near term, LFL shares remain pricey: It's been a tough year for their airline, and the shares are trading at about 30 times projected earnings. LFL, which is currently trading at 30 times prospective earnings, does make money. And over the long haul, Chile's long, thin shape, remoteness and abundance of mountains make air travel both within the country and internationally a profitable business. The ADRs feature a 2.6% dividend yield.
Vina Concha y Toro SA (NYSEADR : VCO): I can't help it, I like the product – Vina Concha is Chile's largest wine producer. Chile was the only country in the world whose grapes were not infected by the Great Phylloxera Blight of 1873. Therefore, wine snobs can claim that Chilean wines – being made with pre-Blight grapes – are the best in the world. The market seems to buy this sales pitch, since the stock trades at 17 times projected 2009 earnings.

The Hoops boss admitted his captain could be back on Thursday after Brown missed the 3-0 win at Hamilton Accies.
Brendan Rodgers admits skipper Scott Brown could return to the Celtic squad for Thursday's Europa League clash with Rosenborg.
The Hoops travel to Trondheim level on points with RB Leipzig but with a poorer head-to-head record so the boss recognises that a win against the Norwegians, who still haven't picked a point, will be important if they wish to progress.
And the Northern Irishman was pleased as his side warmed up for their trip across the North Sea by overcoming Hamilton Accies 3-0 in the Premiership with little fuss.
When asked about his captain, Rodgers said: "It was just too much of a risk today but he's been doing really well so we'll see how he is over the next few days and hopefully he will be in and around the squad for (Thursday).
"If we have a chance to qualify then of course it's a game we'd want to win."
The Hoops had a number of players returning from injury at the Hope CBD Stadium, including Leigh Griffiths who came off the bench to grab the clinching goal - which came after Ryan Christie's opener from a well-worked short corner and a Scott Martin own goal which doubled the lead.
The boss was pleased to see his striker back in and amongst the goals and was delighted with how his side controlled the game.
Rodgers said: "It's important he's a very good player within our squad and you know that 25 yards in he's a real goal threat. He took his free kick really well, a wonderful strike and a good finish for him.
"The stadium was a little bit quiet today for some reason. I don't think we were ever in any sort of trouble but of course when it is 1-0 there's always a risk when you go into the latter stages of the game. It only takes one mistake or one moment of quality from that can peg you back.
"But I thought in the main we had good control of the game and then worked our way through. We had trust in our possession which was important and created some chances. We got three goals and, equally important, we worked very hard to not concede and it was a good three points.
"That's the idea you want to be clinical in those moments. We're in good rhythm now, there's a good flow in the team. You can see the speed of the passing, the combinations and our quick play is obviously working well.
"And of course after the international break you want to get three points on the board."
