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 usingĀ  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?

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.

New Browser from Google

02 Sep

We have learned that Google has launched a new Internet Browser, its called Chrome and should be available to download from today.

It’s pretty much the same as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox, Chrome has more tools for Web surfers to cloak their online preferences, creating a shield that could make it more difficult for Google and other marketing networks to figure out which ads are most likely to appeal to which individuals.

It really is just a matter of time to see how much security the new browser has, Apple’s Safari has been reported to be the most open browser with security flaws.

happy browsing! ;) magic
