The Ultimate Gadget

28 May

This is brilliant, millions of people use these everyday of their lives and if you put a little thinking into it, you can get even more out of it, lets take a look.

What do you get when you combine the iPad with two strips of Velcro?

Seemingly it creates the killer ultimate device; a Northern California filmmaker has come up with various ideas with using  just two strips of Velcro and your iPad, this could mean the ability to ditch the majority of electronics in your home … within reason. :P

Pop it on the dashboard, and it becomes an easily navigable GPS or a movie player for bored kids; throw it up on the wall, and it’s suddenly a chic digital photo frame, spewing out images of you and your sweetie. (very nice!)

Attach it to the kitchen wall, and follow along as Jamie Oliver sears a pan full of fish steaks.

The ability to mount it on a wall means a mobile TV, wall-mounted cook book instruction player, a laptop for web surfing … the possibilities really do seem limitless.

You heard it here first though.

Ah… the question on everybody’s mind is Can it Blend?

Well, yes but it can only be blended, it’s been tried.

It’s not the replace-all device for every electronic do-dad, but the Velcro certainly makes it handier as it does what it was built to do.

If you sit down and think about it, how many of your electronics, books and other things could you ditch with the iPad?

Unfortunately, probably not much at this point.

The device is an addition-to gadget, rather than an instead-of gadget for the majority of users.

But hopefully one day we can use it to replace a pile of other devices from laptops and remote controls, to books and alarm clocks.

not bad! ;) magic

iPhone App makes Bird Research & Poaching Easy!

19 May

This is a super application used to help if you are into researching birds.

The new technology known as BirdsEye, allows birders instant access to the largest open-source database eBird, a project by the National Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

It uses current observations such as those submitted by ‘Citizen Scientists’, and will guide to you where the birds are, also recommends which places to visit for Birders, and your bird life-list will grow even more maybe with birds you have never seen before.

Although this technology is designed to help birders, it may also be used for bird poaching, does this spell trouble for birds?

Windows – The New Version!

02 Sep

Microsoft has made numerous changes to the Windows 7 user interface in response to user feedback, which is scheduled for formal launch either at the end of this year or early next year depending other factors.

Microsoft also made changes to alerts that signal when an application needs attention.

The icon for a so-called “needy” application will now flash up to seven times, as opposed to the previous three, in an effort to grab the user’s attention.

Windows Vista, the company’s current Operating System, has failed to catch on with mainstream computer users while businesses have shunned it outright.

Many users have complained about Vista’s hardware requirements, intrusive security measures, and lack of compatibility with older applications. 

Windows 2000 and ME were repackaged editions of Windows 98 ;) hopefully Windows 7 a repack of Vista will be more accepted as a dependable new operating system.

Built on the technology of Windows NT 4.0 …. Windows XP is the best Windows eXPerience! :D

02 Mar

In response to user feedback, its been reported that Microsoft has made numerous changes to the Windows 7 user interface as they ready the operating system viewed by many as a make or break product for the software maker.

Microsoft also made changes to alerts that signal when an application needs attention.

The icon for a so-called “needy” application will now flash up to seven times, as opposed to the previous three.

Other changes also include a more noticeable flashing animation in a bolder color of orange.

Additional changes include modifications to the taskbar pane that allow it to display a greater number of application icons, a change that makes it easier for users to pin new apps to the taskbar, and more flexible icon and gadget view options.

Microsoft needs Windows 7 to be a hit. :)

Windows 7 (Mobile)

01 Mar

Unsurprisingly, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said that the 7th iteration of Microsoft’s popular mobile OS will be released to manufacturing next year.

Microsoft told ET that Windows Mobile will get more and more shared technology with Windows, bringing in technology such as, “browsers, presentation services, and even, in the future, the kernel, and that the amount of shared technology will only increase over time.”

Lastly, Microsoft confirmed that the corporation will not be producing a Microsoft Phone, but only sticking to the phone operating systems.

Apple strip DRM from songs

26 Jan

The DRM protection prevented customers from listening to music on unauthorized devices and limited the copies they could burn onto CDs.

The company facees competition from Amazon.com Inc., which charges as little as 79 cents a song – with no copy protection.

While record labels liked having DRM, they also wanted variable prices, letting them charge more for popular songs.

Apple has also disclosed plans for songs to be made available will cost 69 cents, 99 cents, or $1.29 starting in April, with most albums going for $9.99.

Windows XP Licenses – extension

23 Jan

Originally Microsoft had given Windows XP OEM licenses until 31st January 2009 however – Microsoft have eased off and renewed the deadline for OEM distributors to make Windows XP OEM licenses available up until 31st December 2009.

This is  yet another sign of the market’s resistance to Windows Vista, and of the growing realization within the channel that many customers have decided to simply skip Vista and wait for the arrival of Windows 7.

Microsoft says that should be ready for late 2009 or early 2010, but some reports have suggested it could come as early as mid-2009.

Good news all round ;) magic
