Now enjoy Widgets on your Mobile !

Hello humanoids . Sorry for the delay in post since i have been busy with studies .

I have been a frequent user of internet through my Mobile and love using Opera on my mobile but Since you all know about widgets in our desktops are used by people in large number , why not not make life easy on the internet as well ?

So here is the perfect thing for people who want widgets on their Internet Enabled Mobile Phones !

Here is how Widsets describe itself :

With WidSets you can get your favorite web content straight to your mobile phone. Find news and information, stay in touch with email and blogs, play games, share pictures and more. WidSets uses mini-applications called widgets to push updates from your favorite sites directly to your phone. Why waste time surfing for information when WidSets can do it for you?

Well like always for the technically strong people , here is how Wikipedia looks at widsets :

WidSets is a mobile runtime technology, and a mobile service powered by the said technology, based on the Java MIDP 2.0 platform, from the Finnish mobile giant Nokia. it is both a widget engine and a widget deployment service where mini-applications called widgets can be uploaded to WidSets servers to be compiled and then automatically deployed to MIDP 2.0 compliant mobile phones running the WidSets client software. The widgets are created using Extensible Markup Language (XML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Helium scripting language.^[1]
WidSets was officially launched on October 2006, it worked on all Java MIDP 2.0 phones, including non-Nokia ones, and was regarded as a mobile counterpart to Netvibes. The current version as of May 2008 is version 2.0.0 for both the client and the SDK.

Lets check out some of the cool features :

Get WidSets to your mobile phone and stay informed on the go. WidSets supports 56 different languages and offers over 4000 different widgets to choose from - tailor the service to your liking! The cool thing about WidSets is that it informs you about updates automatically, making surfing the web obsolete.

Log-in to widsets.com where you can carry out extensive searches to find new interesting widgets. You can also add a personal touch to your own widgets with our handy widget editor! Take the chance to meet the other users and see what widgets they are using.

Here is the list of some of the most important features :

• Over 4000 widgets - I used 10 widgets and yeah most of them work really well.
  
• Organize! -  Thats the big deal , its fully customizable to match you needs .
  
• Create your own widgets - I created some of the widgets for my blog , hopefully will work on it !
  
• Share and Bookmark -  I have widgets for most of the websites i use and for the remaining this thing rocks on !
  
• Monitor your traffic - Sadly havn't tried this but looks a trendy feature to me .
  
• Power-search!
• Personalize your widgets!
• See who else is there ! - * Cough * 

I have been using this Gorgeous application for my N - 73 ME and have been highly impressed by the customization of this widget . As far as i know , the widsets gallery has more than 6,294 widgets and lots of them are  "official widgets " too , so you can trust on them . Dont forget to check out some of the featured widgets for your widsets !

Wondering how much its costs ?  DUH !  Its free  buddy :)

Oh wait i still see that sign of being worried !  Are you worried if your mobile supports the widsets  ?

Facebook Gets a Useful Update !

Hello Humanoids ! I am not a big social networking freak and i dont really enjoy being part of a social networking website ( except myspace ) but yeah i know most of you are on facebook and surely would have been waiting for this to take place . So here is the update at what Facebook website developers just did :

Note : This is a day old , i have scheduled my post to be late as it could have spoiled the fun of my previous post !




Lets see what Facebook Blog says :

" The Wall now surfaces the most recent and relevant information—in the form of posts of stories—about you. We believe that having a constant stream of information, or "feed" is the most effective way to learn about and keep up with friends. Just as News Feed helps you know what is happening in your social circle, you can use the Wall as a way to give your friends the full story of what's happening with you.

A big piece of the Wall is the Publisher, which enables you to publish content—photos, notes, your status, and so on—directly to your Wall. The Publisher works with most applications so that you have one place to go to add content to your own profile or to a friends'.

The profile is very personal; it's important to us that everyone have control over their own profile. Along those lines, once you've published stories or posted content, you can adjust the size to promote the things you care about most, and demote the stories you don't find as interesting.

One of our key goals of this project has always been to make the site simpler and cleaner. The new tabbed profile should help a lot in this respect, breaking your information into tabs by type. The Wall tab displays most recent and relevant information both about you and by you. The Info tab shows information about you that doesn't change frequently. The Photos tab shows photos of you as well as your albums. The Boxes tab features all of your existing application boxes. You're also able to add tabs for your favorite applications.

Keep in mind, nothing with your privacy is changing with this; in fact, the new story formats should offer even greater control over what and how information is shared. We still respect all the same, trusted privacy controls as before. Thanks again for the feedback, and enjoy the new Facebook."

This was just a notification post . More coming up soon :)

iPhone 3G is here * Goodluck Apple * !

Hello humanoids ! Well i know the topic seems pretty , dull boring and it makes me look like an Apple employee but seriously iPhone and iPhone 3G are totally revolutionary , not many of us could have thought of a phone being molded down to plastic with a touchscreen and maps guiding you ! And the best part is that it is totally affordable .

So instead of wasting time , lets first show you some reviews and few videos :]

• Engadget : For our money, you're going to have a hard time finding a better device for two hundred bucks -- or maybe even for any price. But that doesn't mean you ought to toss your original iPhone, either. With the release of iPhone 2.0, Apple's given early adopters every possible new feature for free, meaning the iPhone 3G's biggest roadblock to adoption in the US may be its still very worthy predecessor. But as Steve says, "If anybody is going to cannibalize us, I want it to be us." As for the rest of the world? Things are about to get interesting . Read more here .

• Gizmodo : Apple has eliminated so many annoying little hang-ups that you might run into when using the old one. The GPS pinpoints to meters instead of blocks. The 3G connection slashes web loading times by minutes to seconds. The more rounded case feels great in the hand. And most importantly the new software polishes the OS and opens the phone up to nearly unlimited capabilities through the countless programs that are already being written by the brilliant legions of faithful developers. It's kind of cool.Read more here .

• Wired : Unlike rest of the heavyweights , Wired decided to upload a perfect video for an iPhone 3G review :]

Hopefully those three heavyweights are enough to tell you how big or how overhyped the iPhone is !

Good news for Apple fanboys and people who are interested in buying an iPhone 3G .

• From Apple.com : Apple sells one million iPhone 3Gs in first weekend

July 14, 2008

On Sunday, Apple sold its one millionth iPhone 3G, the company announced today. “iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world .

^ Good for Apple , right ?

Too much of iPhone for now , i think its time to make you all smile around a little bit and yeah this funny Iphone 3G video is fully of sarcasm . * Some of it is totally true *

Video tutorial: unlock iphone

I hope the collection and reviews and ofcourse videos made you clear what and what not is the new iPhone 3G is capable of .

Time for me to sign off and do tell me if u r going to buy that iPhone 3G or not.

Ubiqwindows takes interactive technology to the next level !

Greetings Humanoids ! I was just surfing some amazing vimeo videos untill i found this video and did some search on it and finally decided to write about it ! You all must have seen or most probably used Google Earth , due to variety of features and great details Gooogle Earth is undoubtedly the best Map viewer till date . Now coming back to the point , i am talking about the Holographic Google Earth technology .

This technology has been formed by the people at Ubiqwindows which is from the LM3LABS guys . Actually you can know all about them on the website so i don't need to tell you about it , so lets see how Google Earth Blog describes it :

The technology comes from UbiqWindow and lets a computer screen be projected in mid-air. They have devised a touchless way to interact with the "hologram", and Google Earth is a great way to show off its capabilities .

Well i wont do much of the writing and i will just post the video , by the way , there is lot more to come !



.

So that was the Holographic Google Earth , i didn't know this earlier but now i came to know about it that many people have already written about it but nevermind my article is far better ;)


Here is yet another UbiqWindows Product :

If you all know it or not , the "so called " iPhone Killer the Samsung Omnia SGH i900, is also using UbiqWindows technology !

Here is some interesting information : As written on Catchyoo blog 
 

Samsung deployed interactive booths where people can experiment the amazing interface of their phone. Only Ubiq'window can let people experiment what it is like to use such a next gen interface: dragging icones to launch applications, intuitive keyboard, smart OK, ...

The interactive booth also let user "click" buttons outside the phone screen, to get fast access to Omnia's features like: motion sensor, optical joystick, or 5 mega pixel camera. And people are queuing to experience this. As touch (...and soon touchless) interfaces are to invade our daily product, Ubiq'window is a unique solution to let customers experiment in large size.

The project was driven by LM3LABS' distributor iM3 Asia in Singapore .

To be honest , i shouldn't write more about this as you can find the Samsung iPhone killer information everywhere so its of no use ;(

So here were two of the most prominent uses of Ubiqwindows , but i really found a bigger , better and revolutionary technology called " Airstrike" - Another Revolutionary Idea by LM3LABS and i will Hopefully write about it in coming days ( or maybe weeks ) . Airstrike will surely surprise you to the limits !

I hope you enjoyed this article , comments and critics appreciated ;)

Take care ,

 

Opensuse 11.0 is out on download !

So as promised this is the second post of the day and its a BIG news for Opensource buffs . If you didnt notice there has been a small reminder about Opensuse Download day ( its still at the bottom of the blog ) . So as requested by some of my friends , open source wouldnt be left far behind . I am not the opensource expert so here is how the website itself describes its feature.

Here are some worthy and some upgraded Features :

GNOME 2.22

GNOME users will find a lot to like in openSUSE 11.0. openSUSE’s GNOME is very close to upstream GNOME, because Novell and openSUSE want to do as much work as possible in the upstream release. However, we do modify GNOME’s artwork to provide a unified look and feel for the distro. The default GNOME configuration, such as panel layout, is slightly different than “stock” GNOME, and the openSUSE GNOME team backports a number of bug fixes into our GNOME release to ensure stability and the best possible GNOME experience.GNOME 2.22 in openSUSE 11.0 includes the GNOME Virtual File System (GVFS), with better support for networked file systems, PulseAudio for better sound management, improvements in Evolution and Tomboy, and much more!

KDE 4.0

openSUSE 11.0 is the first openSUSE release to include a stable release of KDE 4.0. This release includes sweeping changes in the KDE desktop, and represents the next generation of KDE. This release includes a new desktop shell, called Plasma, a new look and feel (called Oxygen), and many interface and usability improvements.

KControl has been replaced with Systemsettings, which makes system configuration much easier. KDE’s window manager, KWin, now supports 3-D desktop effects.

KDE 4.0 doesn’t include KDEPIM applications, so the openSUSE team has included beta versions of the KDEPIM suite (KMail, KOrganizer, Akregator, etc.) from the KDE 4.1 branch that’s in development and scheduled to be released in July.

Note that KDE 3.5 is still available on the openSUSE DVD for KDE users who aren’t quite ready to make the leap to KDE 4.

Compiz Fusion

The openSUSE desktop is not only a green glorious sight to behold, it’s also available in 3-D! Compiz Fusion is now the default in openSUSE 11.0. You’ll find a slew of interesting Compiz plugins, as well as easier configuration with Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) and the more comprehensive CompizConfig Settings Manager that allows detailed configuration of your Compiz setup. See the Sneak Peek for a detailed look at Compiz Fusion on openSUSE 11.0.

Firefox 3.0

Firefox is one of the most popular open source applications on the planet, and the openSUSE desktop just wouldn’t be complete without Mozilla Firefox. The 3.0 release has a number of new features and improvements that will make browsing the Web on openSUSE convenient and safe, including better site identification features, simplified add-on installation and management, detection of “phishing” sites, the ability to save tabs on exit, better download manager, and a new page zoom feature that lets you zoom text or the entire page.

Note that openSUSE 11.0 ships with Firefox 3.0 beta 5, and updates to the final 3.0 release will be available through online update.

Banshee 1.0

openSUSE 11.0 includes Banshee 1.0. The Banshee media player has been re-written to improve performance and includes many new features, including video playback, better “shuffle” playback, support for iPods, MTP devices, and mass storage player devices, and support for podcasts and better Last.fm integration

OpenOffice.org 2.4

You can work hard and play hard with openSUSE. If you need a high-quality office suite that’s Microsoft Office compatible, look no further than Novell’s OpenOffice.org 2.4. This release includes import support for OpenXML, 3-D transitions in Impress, SVG import support, improved performance over standard OpenOffice.org, and better Excel support and VBA macro support.

NetworkManager 0.7

NetworkManager has been vastly improved since 10.3, and now includes support for multiple network interfaces and UTMS and EV-DO cards.

Dont forget to see the list of features


So here were some of the great features of Open Suse 11.0 . After doing some internet analysis , people are rating it as the best Open Suse ever . Well , lets wait and see afterall its an open source programme : They either get destroyed or get the popularity only few paid programmes could ever receive.

Note : Screenshots and more coming together ( its already 11:30 in the night ! )


And last but not the least you can download it from here :






Well , thats "all" for today ..

• Youtube Lyrics : This was the GM script i was looking for all through out the week and yeah i finally found it . Its kinda VERY useful , because a youtube freak like me loves lyrics with the video :=) Cheer up Music lovers !

Youtube lyrics does the following : It adds a lyrics box to the YouTube sidebar under the video information box. It can search in nine different lyrics sites and it shows also all the results in a drop down.

• IGoogle Change Layout : As its name suggests , it surely doesnt do much but yeah u can change the layout and yeah it was very essential for aperson like me who hated those layouts :( . So what does it that it Changes iGoogle containers layout. You can add to the tab drop down menu three icons with the possibles containers layout. Plus you get a black background ;)
  

• Customize Google : This script completely customizes the classic Google homepage. Accordigng to the developer : You must fill in the first 3 lines of the script with the specified information for the script to work. See comments for complete details. It replaces every place on Google that says Google with your name. Also it replaces the "I'm feeling lucky" text, the G in the Gmail link to your first initial, and a few other things. I will update this script whenever the layout changes on Google, so check back regularly.

This is one gem of a Script and dont dare to miss this one ;)

Actually when you install this go to the Orkut homepage and click on HymnZ ( Gtalk is hidden inside ) . Just login and Start chatting !

Animoto Converts your Still pictures to a spectacular video !

Sorry fellow readers , i have been busy with my studies lately and same is expected to go on , but i wont stop posting and telling you all about what's up in the world of internet ( with respect to the current post ) . So here is another breathtaking application i found :
Its called :

Animoto


So starting with the features , Animoto does the following :

• Here is what Animoto says about itself : Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever.

• Sharing these videos is easy too. You can easily embed them onto your website and blog or onto social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail them to friends and download them to your computer.

• Technique used by Animoto : Animoto uses patent-pending technology to analyze your images and everything about the selected music -- its structure, genre, energy, build, rhythm -- before developing a blueprint for the motion design of your video. The remaining time is spent rendering your video, using a giant farm of computer processors to custom-generate 15 new images per second for your final video.

Here is how you create your video

• Click "Create Video" from the set of buttons in the upper left to begin.
• Your first decision will be whether to make an Animoto Short (a 30-second video) or a full-length video (extended length video).
• (Video shorts are free for everyone and you can make as many as you want).
• Animoto will then walk you through the three steps required to create a video.
• 1) Get your images,
• 2) Get music, and
• 3) Finalize with details.

Actually there are millions of people who already are doing this and its remix is out of the world . I am so glad its free and yeah just check out what i made :

The video has Dragon ball Z Random Pictures on my Computer's drive and A song called " Highway to heaven " - LZ synched . It's so easy to do actually , and the end result is spectacular . Now those who wanted to show people some of their photos with a music background : Its actually a blessing for them because you can embed the video in any popular website we know , ie. ,Myspace, youtube ,Facebook,IGoogle and Lots more !Another upcoming feature is that you can convert your Animoto-d video into an Ipod video or burn it to a disc ! ( thats what i see ).

I am about to Import it to Youtube and Gonna keep it forever ... Why shouldn't i ? It's my first Video :)

Why dont you all try ? and if you do , Dont forget to Paste your Link here !

Youtube goes totally INTERACTIVE !!!!

Yes you saw it right , Youtube has finally gone Interactive with this super duper Interactive Card trick video ! Actually its about a man who has lots of cards and he wants you to memorise and the " Interactive Part " about this card is that you can actually click INSIDE THE VIDEO SCREEN !! Cool , right ? i found it awesome and yeah then you can pick a card and like all magicians he acts like a psycho :| . Leaving that aside , i see this technology growing faster than E-mail spams in a few weeks . Finally Youtube made a Step Forward !

Sadly that Youtube Video doesnt allowing embedding so sadly you can see it here but anyways here is the link :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbEei0I3kMQ


Have fun and yeah i will be watching out for more cool interactive videos !

Till then ,

Take care !

Yahoo Messenger Voice For Vista is here !

The Yahoo messenger for vista did a lot of work and it shows . YM VISTA started in june most probably and it was a beta ( it still is ).I was highly impressed by the graphics and ease of use.But it had lots of features unavailable which made me to shift to Yahoo Messenger 9 beta which was recently voted the Best IM For Windows.

Take a look at the new Yahoo Messenger Voice For Windows Vista :

• Yahoo YM VISTA team released an all-new voice-enabled Beta version of Yahoo! Messenger for Vista. They have included the voice and SMS features our users have been requesting, an all-new Voice Visualization feature, and lots of improvements to help improve overall speed and stability.

• You can now make free PC-to-PC calls to other Yahoo! Messenger friends, or if you have a Phone Out account, make low-cost calls to landlines and mobile phones for as low as 1¢ a minute (see rates). Our new voice features also include fun Voice Visualizations that animate you and your friend’s voices while you’re on a call. Be sure to check out the demo video below to see how it works.you’ll now receive a pop-up alert in the lower right corner of your screen and see a new icon on the contact list window when you have new Yahoo! Mail. Just click either one to go right to your new e-mail. (You can also turn off Mail alerts in preferences).
