Google Goggles

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

A picture is worth a thousand words. No need to type your search anymore in google and get the results using a picture. This is possible with new tool “Google Goggles” which is a visual search tool launched by Google Search Engine. Google Goggles is a free application for Google Android Mobile phones. People can search for information about anything with its photo of that object.

Using google goggles, you can get information about tourist places, famous paintings, company logos by pointing your phone’s camera on the object. Google compares the match against its database with image elements of the object and when it finds a match, it displays the results with name and details of the object. Yet this is just the beginning and its not quite perfect yet which will work perfect for some things.

Mipony download manager for Rapidshare and others

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Everyone of us will be downloading lots of information from Internet especially ebooks, movies, training videos, softwares etc. from file hosting websites like Rapidshare, MegaUpload, Hotfile, Gigasize, Filefactory and many others.

Mipony is a light weight download manager especially designed to download automatically from file hosting websites mentiond above. We can overcome all the drawbacks which we face from the file hosting websites while downloading files. Mipony connects to the website hosting the file automatically, waits for the time if its required and initiates the download of single or multiple files one after the other automatically with retries. Mipony checks for every link life whether the file has been removed or available to download before initiating download.

Mipony works with free and premium accounts of Rapidshare and Megaupload and others.

XP Mode in Windows 7

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Windows XP Mode (XPM) is a feature of Windows 7 Release Candidate. XPM allows users to continue to run their older xp-compatible applications on Windows 7. This feature will make XP users to upgrade to Windows 7.  XPM was designed by Microsoft for small-business users but the beta will encourage many users which can be downloaded for free from Microsoft Virtual PC.

XPM gives a new, improved version of Microsoft Virtual PC to run a complete freely downloadable virtual copy of Windows XP that runs in a window with Windows XP desktop. Or using seemless mode, XPM allows you to install applications to the Virtual Windows XP as how you install on normal Windows XP machine. And you can run those applications from Windows 7 desktop just as if they were standard windows 7 applications. In the seemless mode you wont be seeing Windows XP desktop. Instead you just sees a window with XP based application. The Virtual Windows XP system runs invisibly in the background.

Files can be saved from applictions running seemless mode under XPM to the default documents folder under Windows7. In both XPM seemless mode and seperate XP desktop, you can use the Windows Clipboard to transfer text and images between Windows 7 and XP applications.

AudioVisual Presentation Creator

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

We can learn easily by watching a video than reading a book. At the same way when we know something and when we have to teach to others, they also expect the same way in the form of video teaching. We can make an AudioVisual Presentation of what we know using CamStudio software. CamStudio is an opensource software and is free to use.

CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs).

Features:

  • Create demonstration vidoes for any software program
  • Create video tutorials
  • record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them
  • can also add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions to your recordings in seconds and with the unique Video Annotation feature you can even personalise your videos by including a webcam movie of yourself “picture-in-picture” over your desktop

You can download it from CamStudio.

Sneaking in a few days before its promised September release, the tune-up for Mac OS X Leopard costs $29 for current Leopard users, and packs just enough punch to be worth your money. Apple is careful to point out that Snow Leopard isn’t a complete system overhaul, but rather a collection of hundreds of smaller refinements to make Leopard run more gracefully.
