Ubi-Camera: Frames photos with fingers

We know you’ve done this several times, framing shots with their fingers, pairing L fingers that forms square with their hands. And it’s interesting to know, that researchers at Japan’s Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences are working hard to make this finger framed camera shoots to life.







However, at the moment the prototype seemed to be far from its commercial product. Dubbed as the Ubi-camera, the device fits over an index finger. It boasts a camera lens and sensor, along with an IR range finder. “You simply move the focal point around by moving your fingers away or towards your face: nearer to your face for wide-angle shots or further away for close-ups. Press a button and the shot is snapped.”
Unfortunately, there are still few hurdles for this project like the range finder getting out of whack by lighting conditions and also there’s no zoom; zoom is entirely done in post processing.



So before this finger loving camera, I just watch the video of Google Glass, and it seems that was way futuristic, though both seemed to be really cool when it hits the shelves in the near future.

Airline Launches Electronic Tags to Locate Baggage

No more lost luggage! Australian airline Qantas have just introduced electronic tags that can be easily attached to luggage and monitor its whereabouts and status after check-in. This was aimed to reduce the whooping 29 millions of reportedly damaged, delayed or lost bags back in 2010. Though we don’t have data for 2011, we believe that it might have bloomed into bigger number –thus making this tech-innovation certainly a hit.





The “Q-Bag tag” works and looks like an ordinary tag, but it carries passenger’s destination and information that can be scanned. And the most important thing, you can track this tag anywhere in the world.
Besides the cool thing of worry-free flying, the Q-Bag tag and the airlines should secure the way the information is read on the tag as well as the system for the passenger’s security and privacy.

How To Send Andorid Ringtones To Your Friends’ Cell Phones

If you are like many people, you spend a lot of time searching through downloadable ringtones to find the best tones available. You may want your phone to be unique with a ringtone that is all your own, or you may want a special sound that makes others talk. You know you’ve found a winning ringtone when your phone rings and other people start talking about your tone. Some of your friends may even ask you to share your sounds with them. Not too long ago, sharing ringtones was not possible. However, with the advancement of technology, now there are several different ways that you can share Android ringtones with others.





Bluetooth Transfer

If one of your friends is asking you how to get ringtones, you can refer him or her to the website where you downloaded your own ringtones from. However, you can also simply transfer the sound file over to your friend. Most newer models of Android phones are Bluetooth-enabled. In order to share a sound file via a Bluetooth transfer, both cell phones need to have this technology. Further, the phones need to be close to each other. If these factors are met, you then simply select the ring tone file you want to send. Then you follow the sending procedures for your own phone. For most models, this simply means that you click on the “Send” button to transfer the file. An alternative to a Bluetooth transfer is an infrared transfer, which works in a similar fashion as a Bluetooth transfer.

Text Messaging

If a Bluetooth file transfer is not possible, there are other options available to you. You can consider sending your friend a text message with the ringtone file as an attachment. Both cell phones will need to have text messaging capabilities in order for this to work. Again, you will need to click on the sound file that is stored within your phone. Then, you select the option to attach it to a text message. Your friend will receive the file as an attachment to your text message.

Email Attachment

If either of the cell phones do not have the ability to send or receive text messages with an attachment, you can also consider emailing the ringtone file to the other cell phone. Both cell phones will need to have email capabilities in order for an email file transfer to work.

After the File is Transferred

Each of these options allows you to quickly and easily transfer your ringtones to another cell phone. Once the mp3 ringtone has been transferred, it will need to be saved in the phone. The cell phone user then should be able to enter the sound settings function and see the new ring tone as an option.

If a File Transfer Isn’t Possible

There may be instances when your cell phone is not compatible with another mobile phone, and a ringtone file transfer is not possible. If this is the case, you may consider referring your friend to a great ringtone website. When you want to know how to get ringtones, Ringtones Canada is one of the best resources to use.Ringtones.ca offers over 25,000 popular ring tones, sounds and more that you and your friends can download with ease.

1923 0-series Leica is the world’s most expensive camera worth $2.8 million

Leica is one of the most famous names in high-quality cameras that coincide with pretty darn expensive price, today new Leica’s could fly up to $17,500 and $31,000 for a Leica Nieman Marcus Edition and Limited Edition White M9-P. However, this whooping prices could be just a simple bargain if you’ll compared it to a good-old1923 0-series Leica camera that was auctioned and sold for 2.16 million euros or $2.8 million.









The 1923 Leica camera is considered to be a major part of camera history, that it’s one of the first batch of 31 cameras the German-company ever created. Where only about 12 units known to still exist and adding a significant value as fewer unit are still in mint condition.
The camera was auction winner is an anonymous European buyer.
Back in 2007, a similar Leica 0-series sold for $430,000 and in 2011 one sold for $1.7 million.

Larger screen for iPhone 5 into production by next month


iPhone’s screen size has not been improved since then and as compared to the newly released phones nowadays, they boasts much larger screen. The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is ordering large screens for the next iPhone which measures at least 4 inches diagonally. Also according to them, by next month production of these larger screens will be set in motion.
During these days, screen size matters so if the news from Wall Street Journal is true, Apple’s move to produce iPhones with 4-inch screen is a plus for them. Of course, aside from screen, Apple boasts its iPhone products’ quality, well that really counts a lot for consumers but consumers will be more interested on the new iPhone with larger screens.
When Apple unveiled its first iPhone last 2007, it has become a hit. It was a ground-breaking device with a novel interface running on a 3.5-inch screen. Since then, iPhones haven’t changed a lot. As compared to Apple, other mobile manufacturers moved up in a risky way but they have become successful as I may say because so far, they can catch up with Apple’s iPhone. On the other side, iPhone was improving just little by little in the past few years since it existed mainly because Apple is keeping its focus on their tried and tested strategy.
Apple’s iPhone is still dominant in the market just like few years back and they can sell it at the same price. Consumers still wants to own an iPhone even if there are lots of newly introduced mobile phones in the market. But consumers cannot deny the fact that iPhone is starting to show its age. We can say that Android phones also have its winning piece in the mobile world because of its new look, larger screens and newer features and this is how they get the attention of many of the consumers.
As per the rumor circulating over the internet, the new and upcoming iPhone will have a 4-inch screen. There are speculations that this is not true but someone has commented on The Verge and explained how it could be done. But in case it would be done correctly by Apple, it will be an amazing feature of iPhone.



With all these rumors about the features of the new iPhone, we cannot deny that the release of iPhone 4S still got the market and sold like blockbuster. When it comes to profit and making money, they can still count on the current features of the iPhone 4S. But on the other hand, it seems that iPhone 4 has become one of the commonly seen mobile phones in the market. Other mobile phones was able to catch up with it and its like they are all leveled together.
Apple will introduce the next generation of iPhone later this year, no one knows exactly how it will look like. It may have a larger screen and it may not. But for sure, it will still have and maintain the quality that Apple is keeping on its top of the line products..........

Report: Facebook in talks to buy browser-maker Opera


A new report indicates that Facebook, fresh off its initial public offering, is in talks to acquire Web browser maker Opera Software.

Tech blog Pocket-lint, citing unnamed "trusted sources," reported that the social media giant is looking to buy Oslo, Norway-based Opera to expand into the browser space. In doing so, Facebook would be facing competition from the likes of Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Apple — and even Yahoo, which just this week launched its own Axis browser.

A spokeswoman for Facebook declined to comment about the rumor when contacted by PCMag on Friday. Opera also declined to comment.

"As a standard policy Opera does not respond to market rumors and we have no comment to the rumor addressed in the question," the company said in a statement.

However, The Next Web reported that a "source close to Opera" claims the browser maker is currently in the midst of a hiring freeze, and its management is talking to potential buyers. The company's leadership is reportedly considering becoming part of a larger privately held or public company, instead of trying to keep growing the business on its own.

Opera, which makes browsers for desktops, tablets, and smartphones, is currently listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company says that about 270 million people use its browsers every month.

Facebook, meanwhile, last month bought the photo-sharing service Instagram for $1 billion. The social network also recently picked up the developers of the Lightbox Android photo app, along with 750 patents from IBM.

Nokia 808 PureView goes up for pre-order at Rs. 32,000


Nokia's much-hyped 41MP camera phone, 808 PureView, is now available for pre-order in India via online retailer 'buytheprice' at Rs. 32,000. The Nokia 808 PureView is scheduled to hit the Indian market later this month. The retailer buytheprice is displaying the original price of the device at Rs. 33,999.
Recently, there were multiple reports on the web claiming the 808 PureView will be priced at Rs. 29,999, after price of the device was spotted in the “source code” of Nokia 808 PureView page. Nokia, however, rejected the reports, saying the original price of the device will be revealed at the official launch.
To refresh your memory, the Nokia 808 PureView was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The Nokia 808 PureView gained global media attention for its massive 41MP sensor, which comes with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. The device runs on Nokia Belle operating system.
Other specifications of the Nokia 808 PureView include single-core 1.3GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 16GB built-in storage, USB-on-the-Go, Bluetooth 3.0, HSDPA 14.4Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps, Wi-Fi N with DLNA, GPS and A-GPS, stereo FM radio, and NFC connectivity.

Facebook phone rumoured to be in development, due in 2013


A New York Times report indicates that Facebook is hoping to release a mobile phone in 2013, citing Facebook employees and people close to the organization.
The news is not especially new, and rumours of thecompany partnering with HTC (and other manufacturers) to make a Facebook phone have been around for nearly two years – however, the latest report comes in the light of Facebook hiring several Apple engineers, who’ve had experience developing the iPhone and iPad.
Also very relevant, is that Facebook’s biggest competitor, Google, which already has its fingers in the smartphone pie, just recently completed itsacquisition of Motorola Mobility. Google could very come out with its own mobile and tablet devices by the end of the year.
Industry analysts are sceptical about Facebook’s ability to develop a successful mobile device, with many software and hardware giants finding the mobile market an extremely difficult one to enter – such as Dell and HP.
Pundits recommend Facebook acquires a mobile manufacturer, such as RIM or HTC, instead of trying to develop a device itself.
A software company, Facebook reportedly also has a smartphone OS ready for use already, with the development of an actual mobile device the biggest obstacle remaining.  A forked version of the Android OS, like that on the Kindle Fire, could also be a possibility.
When asked about these latest reports, Facebook did not confirm its plans – it instead gave an ambiguous statement, a repeat of its previous stance: “We’re working across the entire mobile industry; with operators, hardware manufacturers, OS providers, and application developers.”
Of course, companies like INQ and HTC (such as the ChaCha and Salsa) have already developed their own Facebook phones, with native Facebook access, and dedicated buttons.

First-thunderbolt-packing desktop motherboard from launchedntel

After over a year of Mac dominance, the first Intel desktop PC motherboard featuring Thunderbolt I/O technology has been – somewhat quietly – announced. Based on the latest Z77 Express chipset, the DZ77RE-75K has been optimized for the new Intel -K Core processors. It features a new GUI BIOS, comes with integrated HD audio and video, and benefits from RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support.


Thunderbolt I/O technology offers up to 10Gbps bi-directional data transfer rates, and a single connector is capable of daisy-chaining multiple devices. Up until now, devices supporting the technology have been a little on the Apple-heavy side, but with the launch of Intel's DZ77RE-75K mainboard, that situation will likely change rather quickly.



At launch, the ATX-sized (9.6 x 11.6-inch/24.3 x 29.4 cm) board will support the latest Core i7 K, as well as 2nd and 3rd gen Core i3/i5/i7 processors via an LGA1155 socket (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge). It can accommodate up to 32GB of 240-pin DDR3 system memory over four slots, and makes up to eight USB 3.0 and ten USB 2.0 ports (although some are via internal headers) available.
There are four 6Gbps and four 3Gbps SATA ports and one 6Gbps eSATA, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN, one external and one header FireWire interface, and two PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slots in addition to two PCI Express 2.0/PCI slots. The boxed version of the board will also include an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 2.1 module for wireless connectivity.
Intel's Visual BIOS offers a touch-screen support, a top to bottom graphical interface, and full mouse and keyboard enabled controls for system tweaking such as overclocking of the unlocked -K CPU cores and fine tuning of the graphics and memory speeds.
The new DZ77RE-75K is not the only Thunderbolt-packing desktop PC board available, of course. Both ASUS (P8Z77-V) and MSI (Z77A-GD80) have also recently announced mainboards with built-in Thunderbolt technology, although only the former has been certified by Intel at the time of writing.

How To Boost Your Computer Speed And Performance


Turn Off Indexing to Speed Up XP 
Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc. If you do not do a whole lot of searches on your hard drive then you may want to turn this feature off: 
Open My Computer. 
Right-click your hard drive icon and select Properties. 
At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow indexing service to index this disk for faster searches," uncheck this and click ok. 
A new window will pop up and select Apply to all folders and subfolders. 
It will take a minute or two for the changes to take affect but 

Clean Your Prefetch to Improve Performance 
This is a unique technique for WinXP. We know that it is necessary to scrub registry and TEMP files for Win9X/ME/2000 periodically. Prefetch is a new and very useful technique in Windows XP. However, after using XP some time, the prefetch directory can get full of junk and obsolete links in the Prefetch catalog, which can slow down your computer noticeably. 
Open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete those junk and obsolete files, reboot. It is recommended that you do this every month. 

Performance Increase Through My Computer 
Easy enough tweak to usually find out about it on your own, but still, some of us still don't find it right away. So here it is: 
Start > right-click on My Computer and select Properties. 
Click on the "Advanced" tab. 
See the "Performance" section? Click "Settings". 
Disable the following: 
Fade or slide menus into view 
Fade or slide ToolTips into view 
Fade out menu items after clicking 
Show Shadows under menus 
Slide open combo boxes 
Slide taskbar buttons 
Use a background image for each folder type 
Use common tasks in folders 
There, now Windows will still look nice and perform faster. 
Reduce 10 Second Scandisk Wait Time 
Start MS Dos Prompt (Start run CMD), and type: CHKNTFS /T:4 
where 4 is the amount of wait time. 
CHKNTFS /? 
for more info.

DMA Mode on IDE Devices 
Just like Windows 2000, Windows XP still fails to set the DMA mode correctly for the IDE device designated as the slaves on the primary IDE and secondary IDE channels. Most CD-ROMS are capable of supporting DMA mode, but the default in XP is still PIO. Setting it to DMA won't make your CD-ROM faster, but it will consume less CPU cycles. Here's how: 
Open the Device Manager. One way to do that is to right-click on "My Computer", select the Hardware tab, and select Device Manager. 
Expand "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" and double-click on "Primary IDE Channel". 
Under the "Advanced Settings" tab, check the "Device 1" setting. More than likely, your current transfer mode is set to PIO. 
Set it to "DMA if available". 
Repeat the step for the "Secondary IDE Channel" if you have devices attached to it. Reboot. 
Load Internet Explorer the Fastest Way Possible 
Edit your link to start Internet Explorer to have -nohome after it. For Example: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome 
This will load internet explorer very fast because it does not load a web page while it is loading. If you want to go to your homepage after it is loaded, just click on the home button. 

Easy Way to Adjust LargeSystemCache 
Normally, the tweak I've seen asks you to go into HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and change the value to either O or 1 to the adjustment the LargeSystemCache. 
However, in Windows XP, all you have to do is: 
Right-click My Computer.
Select Properties. 
Click Advanced. 
Choose Performance. 
Click Advanced again. 
Select either Programs or System Cache under Memory Usage. 
Programs = 0 for the registry tweak equivalent 
System Cache = 1 for the registry tweak equivalent 
9)Shutdown XP faster.
Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows XP when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. To solve this problem you must disable this useless sound. 
Click Start button. 
Go to settings > Control Panel > Sound, Speech and Audio devices > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds. 
Then under program events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and highlight it. Now from sounds you can select, choose "none" and then click Apply and OK.
Now you should see some improvements when shutting down your system. 
10)Easily Disable Messanger
Go into: C:/Program Files/Messenger. Rename the Messenger folder to "MessengerOFF". 
This does not slow down Outlook Express or hinder system performance. 

Turn Off Autoplay for Program CDs 
How can you stop Windows XP from launching program CDs? 
Click Start, click Run, type GPEDIT.MSC to open Group Policy in the Microsoft Management Console. 
Double-click Computer Configuration, double-click Administrative templates, double-click System, and then click Turn off autoplay. 
The instructions on your screen describe how to configure this setting. Click Properties to display the setting dialog. 
Click Enabled, and choose CD-ROM drives, then click OK, to stop CD autoplay. 
This setting does not prevent Autoplay for music CDs. 


Win XP Won’t Completely Shutdown 
Go to Control Panel, then go to Power Options. 
Click on the APM tab, then check the "Enable Advanced Power Management support." 
Shut down your PC. 
It should now successfully complete the Shut Down process. 

Adjust Various Visual Effects 
Open up the Control Panel. 
Go under System and click on the Advanced tab. 
Click settings under Performance options. 
You can now change various graphical effects (mainly animations and shadows). 

Disable Error Reporting 
Open Control Panel. 
Click on Performance and Maintenance. 
Click on System. 
Then click on the Advanced tab. 
Click on the error-reporting button on the bottom of the windows. 
Select Disable error reporting. 
Click OK. Click OK. 

Increase Your Cable Modem or DSL Speed in XP 
This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone machines with WinXP professional version - might work on Home version also. It may also work with networked machines as well. 
This tweak assumes that you have let WinXP create a connection on install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client for Microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that WinXP will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it doesn't do not try this. 
In the "My Network Places" properties (right-click on the desktop icon and choose properties), highlight the connection 
then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings". Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the 
bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS networks. Click OK. 
16)Stop Jerkey Graphics 
If you are connected to a LAN and have problems with jerkey graphics, this might be the solution: 
Right-click "MyComputer". 
Select "Manage". 
Click on "Device Manager". 
Double-click on your NIC under "Network Adapters". 
In the new window, select the "Advanced" tab. 
Select "Connection Type" and manually set the value of your NIC. (Not "Auto Sense" which is default.). 
You should reboot. 

Speeding Up Your Old Shit Pentium by 50% 
We all know that you really shouldn't try to run Windows XP on anything less that about a Pentium 3 of some sort if you are out for speedy operations and amazing reaction times, but for those of us with the good old Pentium 2's who want to see just how well we can run XP, we have to tweak as much as we can where-ever we can. A real killer to the system's performance is Windows Media Player. Although it may look desirable and fancy with it's rounded off edges and 3rd-Dimensional appearance, the truth is, it takes up a large amount of that precious processing power. All of these troubles however, lead to one thing in particular with this 'new-look' over-rated music and video player...the Visualizations. The look-great I'll admit but like a lot of software these days, it has no purpose. If you run the task manager, and click the Performance tab along the top, you'll see that when Windows Media Player is running and nothing else is active, it takes up around 50% of the processors power. Once these visualizations are turned off, it barely takes up 2-3% of the processors power, which leaves much more room for other applications to work efficiently. 
Here's how to disable the feature: 
Open Media Player. 
Make sure the Now Playing tab on the left is selected. 
Click the View menu along the top. 
Go down to Now Playing Tools
