People got the scoop but doesn’t say how far along Olivia is in her pregnancy. It must not be too far because she wasn’t showing at all a few weeks ago at the Her premiere. She’s probably just reached the second trimester, which is the time a lot of women feel comfortable making an announcement. Will she and Jason get hitched before the baby is born, or will they still have a long engagement? Who knows, but suddenly it’s like Olivia’s professed fried PB&J cravings make total senseUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839713209009090917.post-3389835107189693742013-10-28T23:30:00.001+05:302013-10-28T23:30:40.988+05:30Google's Instant Pages,Voice Search & Search By Image<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Google has come up with yet another advanced feature called </span><b style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><b>I<b>nstant Pages</b></b></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"> that predicts the link users wants to use and begins fetching its data – even before the user has clicked on the link. The new feature, expected to save 2 to 5 seconds on search query time, is based on Google Instant, which furnishes search results even before the user has finished typing the query or pressed the enter key. Google Instant is likely to be included in the newest test version of Google Chrome browser.</span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Apart from Instant Pages, Google has also unveiled two more major updates to its search engine – Google </span><b style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Voice Search</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"> and Google Search By Image. Voice Search allows users to search by just speaking the search keywords. The feature will be available to Chrome users initially.

After having dragged the image, the search engine searches similar images. If you are searching for the Eiffel Tower image, just drag and drop the image to the search engine box, and you will be served with the results.

It will essentially act as a job postings aggregator and make them available to Facebook users.<br /><br />With this move, Facebook is trying to leverage the power of social to enter the job search market. Instead of cutting off popular job search apps like BranchOut and JobVite on its platform, it is going to involve them in the new service. The new job board may directly compete with LinkedIn.<br /><br />It’s not one of Facebook’s core focuses for now. It could initially be used just to drive user engagement on the website. However, if it eventually takes off, it could generate a sizeable amount of revenue for Facebook, as recruitment solutions are a huge market.<br /><br />While it is expected to be a standalone section of the site initially, it may be integrated into a user’s News Feed going forward.<br /><br />Given Facebook’s massive user base, this could be the greatest threat LinkedIn has ever faced. Even apps like BranchOut and GlassDoor on Facebook have amassed a sizable user base in a matter of days due to the inherent virality or connectedness of the network. Since this is Facebook’s own baby, it could be reasonably expected to do even better.<br />

<br />
<br />
Five of the Dead Sea Scrolls are available to browse for free online,
thanks to a joint project between Google and the Israel Museum in
Jerusalem. The scrolls, which are written on papyrus and parchment, are
believed to date back to 150BC and contain the oldest copies of many
Biblical texts. Google's ultra-high resolution scanning lets you pick
out every crease and blemish in each scroll, and helpfully provides an
instant English translation when you highlight a section.<br />
<br />

<br />
Want to see what ancient Rome really looked like, rather than trying to
imagine it from photos of ruins? Then download Google Earth, open the
Gallery layer and select the Ancient Rome 3D option. This will take you
back to 320AD, where you can explore more than 6,000 3D buildings, such
as the Forum, the Colosseum and the Temple of Vesta, including some you
can step inside for a closer poke around.<br />

Google Earth also features a 'Historical imagery' tool that lets you see
how an area has changed over time. When you're viewing a place from
above, click the clock icon on the toolbar and drag the slider bar to
the left to move back in time or to the right to move forward. The
aerial photography will change accordingly, where available, and
sometimes the imagery goes back as far as the 1930s.<br />

<br />
Map collector David Rumsey has combined 120 historical maps from around
the world with contemporary Google maps to let you travel back in time
without losing your bearings. For example, you can view an incredibly
detailed map of England and Wales from 1790, maps of Australia and New
Zealand from the 1840s, and a depiction of Tokyo in 1680. You can use
the transparency slider to merge the old data with its present-day view.<br />

results by date using the 'Custom range' option. You can usually browse
the full text of older books for free, download them as PDF files, and

</div>
So you're eagerly awaiting iOS 6 in the fall, but you'd like to know just how many features you'll end up skipping if you cling on to your existing iPad, iPhone or iPod touch for one more generation. Apple has gone to the trouble of alerting would-be upgraders just what features they'll get when they check for the update this fall, and we've compiled it in a chart for an at-a-glance view of what you'll need. The short answer: you'll want an iPhone 4S if you're craving every iOS 6 feature. Some feature gaps are defined by obvious differences like the absence of cellular hardware, but the performance limits of the iPhone 3GS or fourth-generation iPod touch turn their upgrades into a patchwork. There's also a pair of questions about iPod touch support and whether or not "iPhone 4 or later" explicitly rules out the media player; we'll update should we know more. Either way, it's evident that Apple is bending over backwards to support burgeoning markets, but also that anyone who bought in 2010 or earlier is feeling the pressure to pick up something new -- especially original iPad owners, who can't upgrade at all.<br />

Unlike typical compression garments, which wick the sweat away from you, this puts your natural resources to good use, so much so that the company believes it's cooler than taking your top off entirely. The futuristic gear will also turn up in a new range of footwear, but before you can get too excited, there's a catch; it isn't due to hit stores until next year, so you've still got a few months of getting sweaty.<br />

settlements. Over the last few decades, much effort has been put in to
literally, ‘getting the show off the road’ for auto mobiles. New
automotive Research and Development seems to hint that the road might
soon become just a point of access to another mode of transportation for
your car – air, or even water!<br />
<br />
<b>Terrafugia’s transition </b><br />
The most significant effort in the creation of a ‘Flying Car’ is by a
company called ‘Terrafugia’ set up by MIT graduates in Massachusetts in
2006. But this one is a ‘Roadable Aircraft’ called ‘Transition’.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsbRCraXi5Caw-HHm86mFCG0Cqs-AS3nIeJVpeM6M6uvsUMpfKNWIwFkLzJChxNlZFnozZbb0zqDpEXLRcXzytkTovmDt_ahb465p5O5VYO5hin5bbUzNv1giUBJbbTQyBVPwTaqu1vY/s320/Transition.jpg" style="max-width: 728px;" /><br />
There are no bolts and nothing to put together or dismantle but you’d
need to be a driver as well as a pilot to be able to use one of these.
Terrafugia hopes to launch its first commercial model in 2011 and has
already received 70 orders as of September 2009. This one will be a
two-seater, which can travel 725 km at a speed of about 115 km/hr in
air. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b>Moller International’s Skycar </b></b><br />
Paul Moller’s invention is the ‘Skycar’ – a personal Vertical Take Off
and Landing (VTOL) 4-seat aircraft which, uses four pairs of Wankel
Rotary engines, and, it is claimed, can hover 15 feet above the ground.
It has four ducted fans with covered propellers to increase safety. <br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPVThrPMBrX4pil5qesc4kNM2p9G6u2_HimrZCe8j74jiauzVNEiW2-Ip14Id2w1oLaI77aGOCppPnFvxlhhkxOYkh4saDm3KQ2T4dVx7YtJPtgVSRcrW_W3Krou0dMjBkSiiRAk8NGp8/s320/moller-skycar.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
This ‘flying car’ has been several decades in the making and Moller has
had to postpone projections of its launch more than twice. The present
craft under production is the M400 which is planned in single as well as
6-seat versions. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Parajet Skycar </b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ABJV8baYvei7eb0bnJTz1L3IBnSHCLixycP4FNEqFJFH6TSjHOhqC6F7ojRONkQHjSC28RIm38m-Xo8xWOhlBEvDe_JQO2nkpzewbWXjX_kO25wBuP67kYjqlHsYSwYoU_lIm7aXNME/s320/Skycar_280_708213a.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
The Parajet Skycar actually flew and drove its way from London to
Timbuktu in January 2009 without a hitch and has been declared the
world’s first legal flying car. It has a top speed of 180 kmph and a
maximum range of 400 kilometres. The car is basically constructed from a
dune buggy combined with a paramotor (one of those paragliding
contraptions which have a set of motorized propellers at the pilot’s
back) for greater thrust and propulsion and a parafoil (the flat sail of
a paraglider) to increase the lift. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><b>Labiche’s FSC-1 </b></b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpdA4aJoNVkVkq6r7-uNHK5OR0KjKlHrgGZp3CEYmsTXlgDfWSAeV6GgT1KjsSKDN_evdXoKHygPqi1xL_Rl1qxPDdbB5LUN4H52-a5ZXzfVV0IT0E-E2tQzzW6tdkifnPalc0HI68CBk/s320/t_433.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
Mitch Labiche’s Labiche Aerospace has designed the FSC-1 which is
basically a car that can open out into an aeroplane with the push of a
button, or conversely, an aeroplane that can fold up to become a car.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Aquada </b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbMasYV3hczXeQTyt9N0iJm2mYuRo0GgM1dNEV4wDHgRIimMFTc48VpIXCfJv_g7SJdxYxdpTH9zAPJ6tPMQQcx5M2_1UamkiKvD-cPZvd7f4wWog8xWU6qmGV73CdJL77iUkB_qfo3rI/s320/medium_hydrofoilcar2BAR_468x311.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
Using High Speed Amphibian technology (HAS), Gibbs Technologies led by
Alan Gibbs has launched the Aquada in the USA. The HAS is a technology
that has been developed over a period of seven years and can now even be
applied to vehicles weighing up to 10 tons. The Aquada can travel at a
maximum speed of 160 kmph on land and of about 49 kmph on water. <br />
Once it enters the water, the wheels can be retracted, like in an
airplane, thus significantly reducing the drag. With the press of a
button, the wheels retract the car senses it is in water, activates the
jet to propel it in water and changes the headlights into marine lights.
It is buoyant and cannot sink.<br />
<br />

<b> The Skybike </b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://bikeadvice.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/skybike.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
Samson Motorworks’ Skybike is a three wheeled motorcycle that can be
flown or driven on the streets with equal efficiency. Led by Sam
Bousfield, an inventor with several patents to his name, this
Sacramento- based company hopes to launch a radio-controlled model of
its attractively titled ‘Switchblade’ flying bike up for display in a
few months. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hoverpod </b><br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2009/05/06/entecho-hoverpod_HXGPy_5965.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
Entecho, an Australian company has combined a new rotor technology with
unique lifting surfaces to create a flying machine that looks like a
typical flying saucer. A centrifugal fan causes the air under the car to
move radially from the center towards the outside, generating lift as
the ‘skirt’ – the airtight flexible membrane beneath the level of the
rotor – blows up, directing the flow of the air downwards. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Air Car </b><br />
In an extraordinary tie-up with Luxembourg based MDI (Motor Development
International), Tata Motors (India) has been working hard for the last
two years, to put the finishing touches to a technology that will enable
their cars to run on air. <br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt6-12SbQUrW6oGVDKjZivnVQFZKmM6yr8y25yOLOZUtMzOWrddEySpNMQZp8wv2iy9nqWOkR8uylHhjpOaKqsAeI-g_1zJ-IE8Cb0B62A9MXvHBEMxnjl_yrBM2CLibsWn5yB2FlrSo/s320/air-car-41.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; max-width: 728px;" /><br />
While these cars are all set to hit the roads of France by 2011, it’s
their features that make you sit up and pay attention. Compressed Air
cars usually use a motor powered by compressed air – or combine them
with gasoline, diesel, electric or ethanol engines – to help gain higher
speeds. France’s MDI plans several such hybrids to tide over this bug.<br />
Tata’s vehicle, called the ‘Minicat’, is purely run on an
air-compression engine, is a zero-emission vehicle and might even be
launched this year, as the first batch has already completed production
at its Uttarakhand factory in Pantnagar. The company claims that the
vehicle can reach a speed of 96 kilometres per hour and cover a range of
300 kilometres on a full tank of air.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839713209009090917.post-42735055525202448412012-06-13T08:55:00.000+05:302012-06-13T08:55:28.760+05:30Blackout for Vimeo, The Pirate Bay and more<div style="color: black;">
<b><i>
The Pirate Bay and other large BitTorrent sites are
now being blocked by Internet providers in India. Visitors who try to
access the sites are redirected to a banner which informs them that the
Department of Telecommunications ordered a blackout. Torrent sites are
not the only target, as the blockade also censors the video sharing site
Vimeo, one of the largest communities of indie filmmakers.</i></b></div>
<b><i><span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2iursqf.jpg" style="max-width: 728px;" /></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: blue;"></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: blue;"><br />
<span style="color: black;">According to growing reports from India, subscribers of several large
Internet service providers can no longer access The Pirate Bay,
KickAssTorrents, BitSnoop and several other BitTorrent sites. In what
appears to be a Government-ordered blackout, the websites in question
are all being blocked at the ISP level.</span><br style="color: black;" />
<br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">
Interestingly, torrent sites are not the only target. A similar block is
also restricting access to the popular video sharing platform Vimeo, a
site mostly used by indie filmmakers to share their work.</span><br style="color: black;" />
<br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">
While there has been no official announcement, the blockade is currently
affecting users of several large internet providers including Reliance
Communications and Zylog Wi5.</span><br style="color: black;" />
<br style="color: black;" /><span style="color: black;">
Instead of gaining access to the sites above, subscribers are redirected
to a message claiming that the site is “blocked as per instructions
from Department of Telecom.</span><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2iursqf.jpg" style="max-width: 728px;" /><br />
<br />
While the exact reason for the blockade is unclear, the warning banner
is the same as one users got when Megaupload, RapidShare and other
popular cyberlocker services were censored last year.<br />
<br />
This blockade turned out to be an overbroad implementation of a so
called “John Doe order” which prohibited Internet providers from
allowing subscriber access to unauthorized copies an upcoming Bollywood
movie.<br />
<br />
Whatever the reason for the current blackout, it’s clear that the Indian
entertainment industries have access to tools Hollywood can only dream
of. Either directly, of with help from the Government, allegedly
infringing websites can be pulled down without a trial. Just last month
more than 100 music sites were censored upon request from several music
labels.<br />
<br />
For the millions of filmmakers on Vimeo this new reality will be a rude
awakening, but for the folks at The Pirate Bay it is hardly a surprise.<br />
<br />
The notorious torrent site is already blocked in numerous countries,
most recently the UK. And with the current pro-blocking climate, we
doubt that India will be the last country to hop on the banwagon.</i></b><br />

The “Pick of the Week” program provides users with iTunes Music Store content via cards. Previously, the promotion only allowed*customers access to a free song each week, with tracks priced up to $1.29. Now,<i> CNET</i> reports that these cards are now also offering free downloads of paid iOS applications.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55Luh6YipBMebHfi2z78MkbWPI6uAJfXns6YBltRYMUlTbi_EOqjZAmTyePFSw7JE_Vh5bcvGpEoGAvD-b9b4eU6aTRmXgKa8vguxqPcmFgpw75kFQkERVl3PNCuAPgLsD4eloPUfGW1Z/s1600/starbucksapps.jpg" /></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />
The first application made available for free is Shazam Encore, which usually sells for $5.99 in the App Store. Starbucks has not commented on whether the free applications offer will replace music tracks for good, or if both will be offered in the future. Judging by the first free app offering, it seems they’re serious about providing quality apps because Shazam Encore is a very popular music app costing $5.99.<br />
<br />
Customers who visit Starbucks can pick up the free “Pick of the Week” cards at the register that contain codes*redeemable in the App Store towards the purchase of iOS apps.*Last year, Starbucks also did something similar by partnering with Apple and Yahoo to offer digital content to in-store customers.<br />
<br />
Android owners, are you jealous yet? Anyways, Apple’s evil.<br />

Google Plus now has over 25 million users, and ever since it was launched, it has had a tremendous growth. Despite that Google Plus is in field test and new registrations to the site can be done via “invite only“, and the fact being that Google had to shut down the invite system because of high demand, it somehow still managed to achieve enormous popularity.<br />
<br />
Now that Google allows its Plus users to invite (more people) their friends to experience the new social network, its rival Facebook, seems to be overwhelmed. Of course, currently the best way to interact with friends on the Internet is via Facebook, and thus users are making use of this means by sharing Google Plus invite links on their walls. Users are not just getting themselves a Plus account, but are also attracted to the new social network and slowly migrating from Facebook.<br />
<br />
Facebook appears to be piqued about this and is reported to be blocking Google Plus invites from the users’ Facebook news feed. This came into light when the Senior Vice President of social business, Vic Gundotra posted a video on YouTube demonstrating that Google+ invites that have been shared on Facebook did not show up in the news feed of other Facebook users.<br />
<br />
The video was posted after which the company had gotten reports of this unusual behavior. “I wonder how widespread this problem is?” Gundotra asked.In response to Vic Gundotra’s statement, Facebook (obviously) has denied the fact that it is stopping users from sharing the Google Plus invite URL. Facebook noted that they have a display-filtering technology that help prevent spam and thus could exclude certain links from re-appearing on a user’s news feed if it had previously been posted several times.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>“Newsfeed is an automated system that is designed to deliver the most relevant content to you and your friends. The technology evaluates hundreds of factors, including your relationship to the poster, the type of content, the click-through rate (where appropriate), and people hiding similar posts from their feed.<br />
<br />
In real time, it decides what to display to you and what to filter for both Top News and Most Recent. It also includes systems that attempt to identify and block spam. Links have a history of the most abuse and are given the most scrutiny. As a result of all of these factors, a given link may be shown or filtered to people differently at different times.”<br />
<br />
</blockquote>Facebook, are you sure that you truly “attempt” to “identify” and “block” spam messages? Well, there are several scams that are out there on Facebook, and practically a new one is born every day. As a matter of fact, scams that were reported months back are still spreading on Facebook.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, after watching the video, I tried the same by sharing a Google Plus invite on Facebook and simultaneously checking with another account if it had updated or not? The results? Well, it successfully posted the invite link in the news feed of the other account.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now the question is whether Google tried to drive attention towards its social network by creating this gimmick or did Facebook really block the invite link? Vic Gundotra, edited his original post and added – “they appear to have stopped on Friday”<br />

The ending ‘t’ is silent.) Hailed as a genius in the world of mathematics and physics, while being virtually unknown to the world outside, Fermat’s fame rests on two basic pieces of mathematical wizardry he presented to the world – Fermat’s principle and Fermat’s Last Theorem.<br />
<br />
<b>The doodle</b><br />
<br />
The doodle looks like a board in the room of a mathematical genius. Maybe, if Fermat had a board on his wall, it would’ve looked something like this. Strangely though, out of the mathematical mess of seemingly random squiggles, emerge the letters “G-O-O-G-L-E” in that order, while also maintaining complete mathematical harmony by spelling out the statement of Fermat’s Last Theorem. This is a masterstroke from the Google artist, unnamed as yet. Try a mouse-over and see the comment. Have patience – the explanation of the mouse-over comment is delicious.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-L74bBWmU_QxNcbD6N6llrcJ1HSTe0jWNeFacQ_tM5w2xNhuRojbCK3EV93VorBmFsUpM1cyKa5hj4QYTSBQrGUOOC4l7FD9N8llzB7yAAXjbAcPZ83NAfPfxIOlbB2ukLM53EgTEWcNg/s400/google_doodle_fermat1.jpg" width="400" /></div><b>The mathematician behind it</b><br />
<br />
The life of Fermat is, however, way more awesome than the doodle. Starting off as a lawyer, he learned arithmetic, largely by himself. After shedding off the tag of being an amateur mathematician by discovering a method to calculate slopes of curved lines (which we regard as differential at a point), without having any knowledge of differential calculus (which came later), he moved onto things far greater. Newton would come half a century later and would develop calculus into a branch of mathematics.<br />
<br />
<b>Insight</b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJYt2oBxUTwPfg9JMfVw2IuPCmlu6NDCn1yjVScPCqz9De7T5SZNU4kHtrP9UI9lR7-le9rPjXYph_CJNIOED3-64oo70jpYvH6Ns9t6khVJ6gcMA_tDUKX19oyl0iRYZJDDsdKw8bIeap/s640/fermat_comment.jpg" width="410" /></div>A copy of Arithmetica containing Fermat's comment. (No, I don't read Latin either!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Fermat’s great insight led him to discover the Fermat’s principle. This, in the garb of the language of modern optics, said that light always takes the path that lets it take the least time when it propagates from one point to another. Huygens, nearly two century later, would boldly propose the wave theory of light using Fermat’s principle to derive observed phenomenon of reflection and refraction. Now every branch of physics – Classical mechanics, Relativity or even Quantum Mechanics – uses this principle, in one form or the other.<br />
<br />
<b>Lasting legacy</b><br />
<br />
But this was for technicians in the field. Fermat left behind a delicious puzzle for future generations. He conjectured (and never proved) that three positive integers, x, y and z, cannot possibly satisfy the equation xn + yn = zn, for any n>2 (For n=2, you’d recognise it as the Pythagoras theorem). Fermat supplied a proof for it for n=4, for not a general proof. In his copy of Arithmetica, a book written by the Greek Diophantus, he scribbled on the margin something which said that he had a proof but it was too big to fit in the margin.<br />
<br />
<b>Mouse over the doodle, and you’ll see that it says that the discovered proof is too big to fit in the doodle.</b><br />
<br />
The general proof of Fermat’s last theorem is a stuff of legends now, with Andrew Wiles’ proof and his struggles to get to it have been made into TV shows, documentaries and books.<br />
<br />
Fermat, pot-bellied and round-nosed, left behind a legacy too big to fit into this one article.<br />

They previously released Google Shopper which helps users find local deals and online prices for popular products. Now, they have brought the experience of catalog shopping to the iPad. their newest product is called Google Catalogs, and it’s exactly what it sounds like it is.<br />
<br />
This app brings digital versions of many popular catalogs to tablets. They cover the categories including fashion and apparel, beauty, jewelry, home, kids and gifts. They have hooked up with many top brands including Crate and Barrel, L.L. Bean, Lands’ End, Macy’s, and Sephora.<br />
<br />
<br />
These digital versions bring a number of unique features to catalog shoppings. You gain the ability to zoom, tap on tags to get more information, or even look at cool pictures or videos. You can then look up products in in nearby stores or find it to purchase it online. You can then share your favorite products and catalogs with your friends via email.<br />
<br />
Another really cool feature of Google Catalogs is the ability to create your own catalog to share. You can collect your favorite products and pages from various catalogs and compile them into one set. Then, you can send that catalog to family or friends. I see this being a great way to establish a *gift list for loves ones to shop off of.<br />
<br />
If you want to check out Google Catalogs, it is available for the iPad now. Google promises that an Android version of the application is coming soon. Check it out and let us know what you think.

<br />
<b>Software Makers</b><br />
<br />
The top 10 rating of vulnerabilities includes products from just two companies: Adobe and Oracle (by virtue of Java vulnerabilities). With great improvements in the Windows updates mechanism and several Windows XP users moving to a more secure Windows 7 experience, Microsoft is no more featured in the list. Incidentally, seven of the top 10 vulnerabilities were found in Adobe Flash Player alone!<br />
<br />
<b>Web-surfing</b><br />
<br />
Navigating the web remains the riskiest activity on the Internet. 87 per cent of the websites used to spread malicious programs were concentrated in just 10 countries, with the US leading the pack.<br />
<br />
<b>Local infection</b><br />
<br />
The number of fake antivirus programs detected globally by Kaspersky Lab has increased and also the number of users whose computers blocked attempts to install counterfeit software increased 300 per cent in just three months of the last quarter.<br />
<br />
India was among the top 10 countries with highest risk of local infection on computers. Every second computer in the country was at risk of local infection at least once in the past three months.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Botnet controllers see India as a place with millions of unprotected and un-patched computers which can remain active on zombie networks for extended periods of time.<br />
<br />
- Yury Namestnikov, Senior Virus Analyst at Kaspersky Lab<br />
<br />
</blockquote><b>Hacking</b><br />
<br />
Interestingly, 2011 can go down in the technology history as the year of services from several major organizations like Sony, Honda, Fox News, Epsilon, and Citibank were hacked and disrupted<br />
<br />
<b>Mobile</b><br />
<br />
The number of mobile threats targeting different mobile platforms has increased exponentially. In the second quarter of 2011, the detected threats running on J2ME doubled while those on Android nearly tripled. Malicious programs continue to be detected in the official Android Market.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839713209009090917.post-18438309898949522422011-08-03T12:16:00.000+05:302011-08-03T12:16:49.977+05:30360 for Android – Click and Share Panorama Images with Your Friends [Review]Panorama images are clicked with an elongated field of view. In laymen term, it basically means stitching or joining multiple images to make one giant ‘wide’ image.<br />
<br />
Below is an example of a panorama image-:<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" height="115" src="http://cdn2.techie-buzz.com/images3/Pandu/958e92959191_12D02/Panorama_image.jpg" style="max-width: 728px;" width="640" /><br />
<br />
In today’s world, camera phones are the primary image capturing device for a majority of people. Irrespective of the poor quality of images, and the lack of detail, everyone prefers camera phones because of their portability factor, and mainly because we carry our cellphones with us everywhere.<br />
<br />
2-3 years ago, it would have been impossible to click a panorama image from your handset. However, with advancements in technology and handsets featuring faster 1 GHz processors, and oodles of RAM, capturing panorama images is not a big task for modern age smartphones. Many quality apps exist for iOS to click panorama images. However, the same cannot be said for Android. The problem with panorama images is that they are very hardware centric, and since every Android phone has a different hardware configuration, it is tough to make one app which works on a range of hardware, especially on low-end ones.<br />
<br />
360 for Android is one slick app to click and share panorama images with your friends. The app is made by TeliportMe, which consists of only 3 highly talented people. This same team was awarded by Nvidia as the Emerging Technology Company in 2010. The app has been available in the Android Market for quite some time now, and has a pretty big user base of around 45,000+ users.<br />
<br />
Recently, a new version of 360 was released on the Android Market which has many under-the-hood changes. I gave the app a try, and I must say I have been pretty impressed by it.<br />
<br />
Below is a video of 360 in action –:<br />
<br />
360 uses the various sensors found in today’s high-end Android handsets, and the powerful CPU+GPU combo to click panorama images. The app makes use of the GPU instead of the CPU to stitch the images together, and because of this the images are stitched together in a very short span of time. The best part about 360 is its ability to share your panorama images online with other fellow 360 users, or your friends on Twitter or Facebook.<br />
<br />
360 also has a public timeline which shows you the panorama images clicked by other 360 users. I spent a lot of time in seeing all the panorama images clicked by other 360 users. Thanks to the image being panoramic, you get a feeling of being physically present in that place. This one feature is what makes 360 stands out from other panorama apps on the Android Market.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" border="0" src="http://cdn2.techie-buzz.com/images3/Pandu/958e92959191_12D02/around_me.png" style="max-width: 728px;" /></div><br />
Sadly, not all is perfect with the app. The images are not stitched properly all the time. However, the team behind 360 is working on this, and in the latest version the stitching errors are definitely less. Another problem with the app is the 3D image viewer. It is a bit buggy, and sometimes one light flick will be registered as a full swipe.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, I have been in constant touch with the developer, and they have assured me that they are working hard on improving the stitching process. That said, these couple of small bugs do not deter me from recommending 360 to all Android users out there. Install the app, and have fun by just watching panorama images of unknown places, a stranger’s room or car. 360 for Android can be downloaded for free from the Android Market (link).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839713209009090917.post-8902920725619389572011-08-03T12:14:00.000+05:302011-08-03T12:14:10.517+05:30Twitter Launches HTML 5 Version of Twitter.com Aimed at iPad UsersAs time goes on, we see more and more companies embracing the fact that the iPad is a force to be reckoned with. They spend there time developing apps for Apple’s tablet, redesigning content for its form factor, and even creating special versions of their sites for it. We can now add Twitter to the list of sites that have versions specifically for the Apple iPad.<br />
<br />
Announced by @twittermobile, there is now a HTML 5 version of Twitter’s website, twitter.com, aimed specifically for the iPad. While Twitter has had an iPad app for a while now, this new user experience is designed to be used in the tablet mobile browser. It appears to be a hybrid of the desktop site and the HTML 5 based app. It features a dual column design that is very reminiscent of the current desktop web experience.<br />
<br />
If you prefer to use your iPad’s browser over using an app, then this is a great update for you. It is also a great example of how good a mobile web experience can be. I think other companies (Google+) could take a few notes from Twitter. The iPad offers a greater screen real-estate than the typical mobile phone, and it should be taken advantage of.<br />
<br />
The timing on this release is pretty interesting. Facebook announced their own HTML 5 web app initiative, Project Spartan, a few months ago. While nothing has come out of that project yet, it is expected to show fruit any day now. Its possible that Twitter felt it was necessary to beat Facebook to a launch, and they have done just that.<br />
<br />
According to Twitter, the new version of the site is not currently available to all users. I know that I could not access it just yet, but some users can. It is said to be rolling out to all users over the next week. When I manage to access the site, I will take some screenshots and post them (or someone could send me some.)<br />
