A game on youtube

the new game for youtube



The rule is simple – a button will momentarily flash on your screen while the video is playing – you have to click that button before it disappears else your car meets a crash. If you click at the right moment, you jump to the next level.

This is where it gets interesting. The next level is actually another YouTube video clip that is linked to the button you just clicked in the previous level. Good idea.

The new mac book ?

The new mac book spoted. Valleywag quickly snagged a screenshot of a French blog that put up and then took down, a photo of what may be the new Apple MacBook Pro.

Photobucket

It has no trackpad. even no dock as we seen all mac. track is replased by the something new. A dock in the trackpad screen. What! Ok brifly. Note the trackpad area: is that reflecting what is NOT present on the laptop's screen, i.e. the Dock? Or is the trackpad a touchscreen itself? Or is the entire photo a fake? (Most likely: looks like a really bad Photoshop to us). What do you think?

Windows 7 screenshot

It's raining screenshots -- shots of various setting panels and applications for Windows 7, Build 6780 have been released (leaked?) over at Thanks this site

aamartech

The screen grabs seem to confirm our worst fears -- that Windows 7 is going to be little more than a face-lift and some feature tucks, when compared to Windows Vista. Microsoft could yet be hiding something r/evolutionary under the ribboned-interface but at least we are not seeing it yet.

Nokia E72 and E75 Leaked

We've got a leak folks! The victim being Nokia -- a person going by the forum handle of Dnlcerqueira at Symbian Freak has found several videos on YouTube that show not one, but two upcoming Nokia QWERTY phones.

aamartech



The Nokia E72 is a candybar QWERTY and the E75 is a slider form factor, with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. It would be interesting to see how S60 platform favours the side sliding E72. The E72 looks like a big-brother to the E71 and hopefully gets some screen upgrades.

Thanks Apoc(symbian-freak)

Phone Cameras To Tell You What You're Looking At

You've probably heard of geotagging--cameras interfacing with GPS devices to add location data to your photo, so you'll always know where that picture was taken. At the TechCrunch50 conference last week, a Japanese company called Tonchidot (weird English warning) showcased what may be the future of geotagging, called Sekai Camera.

aamartech

Here's how it works: Sekai uses GPS and your iPhone's camera to tell you what you re looking at. For example, if you were looking at, say, the Taj Mahal through the camera, the phone could tell you that, and perhaps a little history, too. In a supermarket, it could even tell you where products were, and what users thought of it.

This is all part of the quest for good, proper, Augmented Reality, which will change the way we look at the world. However, we mustn't discount the possibility that Sekai Camera may be a complete hoax--nobody has seen the actual product in action--just videos.

Thanks Josh Lowensohn

Image Search, The Way You Wanted It

Not sure about keywords? Draw what you want to find!

Ever wanted a search engine where you could upload and image and say "find images like this one"? Finally, it's here. GazoPa is a search engine by Hitachi that lets you upload an image and look for similar pictures. If you don't have an image, you can even use the drawing tool to give the engine a guess at what you want to find.

GazoPa's drawing tool is good, but not always spot on
aamartech

For the more old-fashioned, GazoPa also accepts keywords.
aamartech

Upload your mug and you'll find yourself the mugs of many others

To use GazoPa, you'll have to score yourself a beta invite (just go over to the site--it's really simple), login, and start searching!

Microsoft's mobile sync sofyware

Microsoft's free Phone Data Manager syncs contacts, music, pictures, and videos between your phone and your desktop and the web. More specifically, the contacts are synced to the internet with Windows Live (meaning you'll need a Windows Live login), and the media is synced with any folder you choose on your desktop. Microsoft Phone Data Manager syncs over USB or Bluetooth.

Microsoft has published a list of supported and unsupported phones. The list only includes phones they've actually tested, meaning if yours isn't on either list, you may still be in luck. The Windows-only application is currently in beta and is free to download. Thanks Adam Pash

View map in 3D

Sometimes there's nothing like seeing something in 3D, and as cool as Google Street View is, it still doesn't show me the goods from a zoomed out perspective on a map. Incoming! The Onion Map!

Windows 7 beta in this December

The next Windows version might offer a Mac OS X-like dock and is expected to go beta as early as this December

aamartech

Microsoft's upcoming operating system Windows 7 might make the rounds for beta testing come December. Microsoft has two tech conferences -- Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in late October or Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) early November. Mary Jo Foley who writes about Microsoft at ZDNet Blogs, adds that a selected small group of beta testers who swore to keep it secret have got their hands on two Milestone Windows 7 builds along with numerous updates.

Windows 7 will have new cool features like an OS X-like dock, multi-touch feature for maps, paint and music applications, and a comprehensive mapping application to sync with Microsoft Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth.

As per a post by Christina Storm on Windows 7 feedback program, the program manager on the Windows Customer Engineering feature team:

"When we release the Windows 7 beta, we will also be collecting feedback from this (Windows Feedback) panel and asking for participation from a set of Windows 7 beta users. Our current plans call for signing up for the beta to happen in the standard Microsoft manner on http://connect.microsoft.com Stay tuned!"

Whether the beta(s) would be available to the public remains a mystery. Bill Gates has already mentioned that next Windows will be released in late 2009 or so. If Microsoft releases the first Windows 7 Beta during Christmas, then we can expect Windows 7 to ship in fourth quarter of 2009, or early 2010, the latest.

Google Earth To Get Higher-res

Google's kicked off a new space race with the launch of a new satellite, in collaboration with Boeing (who took it into space) and Geoeye, who has partially funded the project. Not unlike DigitalGlobe--one of the companies that provide the imagery for Google Earth--Geoeye, too, is a commercial provider of satellite imagery.

aamartech

For an undisclosed, but likely ridiculous sum, Google has bought exclusive rights to use Geoeye's images for Google Earth. If this comparison is anything to go by, you'll soon be able to see even your old uncle's bald spot clearly with Google Earth. And that's always good.

Incidentally, yes, that is the Google logo on the rocket.

Autometic shutdown ur computer

Just when you thought a simple shutdown button was all you needed to turn off your computer, Slawdog's free Smart Shutdown utility offers so many more useful options.

Smart Shutdown also adds a Shutdown button to your system tray with one-click access to several actions, like logoff, hibernate, reboot, standby, and for those of you still rockin' a dial-up internet connection, hang up.

After Vodafone, comes Bharti Airtel with an EMI option for buying the iPhone 3G. Airtel's EMI option is available to all VISA cardholders of ICICI bank, HDFC bank, SBI Cards and Citibank. Check details of the EMI option from both Airtel and Vodafone.

iPhone was launched in the country about two weeks back and is priced at Rs 31,000 for 8GB and Rs 36,100 for 16GB version.

Make ringtone from iRinger

Desktop app iRinger converts any video or music file into an iPhone ringtone, including YouTube videos. You already saw how to make a ringtone using only iTunes, but iRinger brings audio effects (like fade in and out, flanger, and delay) and video support to its single, simple interface. You can download any YouTube clip, for example, and import it into iRinger to create a tone. iRinger does nag you with a pop-up sponsor window that you can't close unless you donate to the project; otherwise it's a handy all-in-one iPhone ringtone utility. iRinger is a free download for Windows only.
