I just can’t help but to laugh out loud when I came upon this accessory for Iphone - Phonefingers. It is made to prevent fingerprints and smudges on your Iphone.. hahaha.. i laugh again. Anyway, I am not joking, it is for REAL. Check out the picture below:-

It comes in 4 sizes (S, M, L and XL) and for a bag of 25 pieces in regardless of the size, it will cost you USD 9.90. I might consider using it on my O2 Atom… err I think. hahaha

Recently, I bought a pack of 2 AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries to power my wireless mouse. As any wireless optical mouse user knows, batteries don’t last too long in mice — 3 months if you’re a lightweight, 1 1/2 months if you spend a lot of time on your computer. Therefore, buying a rechargeable battery seems to be a good investment as it has the advantage of being more cost-efficient over the long term.

So, what I like about Eneloop?

1. Immediate Use
   You can use it right after you unwrap the batteries.
2. Low self discharge
   Once charges, eneloop will lose only about 15% of their charge after a year of non-use.

   

3. Can be charged 10 100 1000 times!
   The retail price for a pack of 2 AA alkaline batteries and a pack of 2 AA Eneloop rechargeable batteries is RM 6 and RM 38 respectively. So, assuming that the Eneloop batteries can last only a quarter of what Sanyo claims (250 times) , I save RM 1462 (RM 6 x 250 - RM 38).

To stop users from uploading copyrighted video without the permission of the owners, Google took a reactive step by launching YouTube Video Identification.

According to Google:-

Video Identification is the next step in a long list of content policies and tools that we have provided copyright owners so that they can more easily identify their content and manage how it is made available on YouTube.

Refering to downloadsquad, in order for this to work, the owner of the copyrighted video will have to upload a copy to YouTube, and then Google’s machines go to work analyzing that file and making sure that nobody else has uploaded an exact duplicate.

We have robots that do housework, robots that dance, robots for video conferencing etc etc and guess what.. now we have robots that blog for you. All you need to do is to talk to them. Freaky isn’t it?

NEC Corporation announced development of a new system for automatically creating multi-media blogs. The new system has been developed on NEC’s prototype robot PaPeRo, and is initialized when a user begins a conversation with PaPeRo about the events of their day, which the system then records and analyzes. Following this, PaPeRo searches for suitable multi-media contents on the internet, including images, illustrations and music, which are automatically uploaded and edited along with the video recording on the user’s blog.
