Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed It s hard to get my attention these days with a glut of new products being released on a regular basis. mDialog got my attention quickly with their amazing marketing promotion. Thanks to them, we re doing a special giveaway for the Moderators in my chat room. In three easy steps, mDialog’s innovative mLoader software allows you to encode, describe and upload video of any size and length from your Mac or PC. Download it for free today and start enjoying these great features. Because the encoding and uploading is done locally on your PC or Mac, mLoader can go as fast as your computer can. We don’t believe in size limits, so go ahead and upload that 30 or 60 minute presentation, instructional video or independent film for the world to see. We can handle it! It’s your choice - mLoader allows you to instantly make your video optimized for viewing on desktops, iPods, iPhones and Apple TV’s. You no longer have to create multiple versions for each type. mLoader takes care of that for you. We’re committed to making your video look as good as possible on the web, and we use the MPEG-4 h.264 video codec to do so. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that means - once you’ve seen the video you’ll understand. With some services, there’s a wait after you’ve uploaded your video for it to be ready for viewing. With mDialog, it’s instantly available. We know that you may want to syndicate your content on as many other video services as possible. To make this easier, mLoader gives you the option to save a copy of your encoded video to your computer. This optimized file can then be uploaded to any service you like from your corporate intranet to the latest video sharing site. It is your content to do with as you please. So I open the box from mDialog, and begin reading the marketing letter. They said they wanted me to try this new app, and installed it on a brand-new iPod Touch. What?! They were nice enough to engrave it, even. It definitely got me looking at the product. The letter even said that there was a personalized video waiting for me on it. It s a personalized video from the founder of mDialog. I can t believe that they sent me an iPod Touch to get my attention! The mDialog site is definitely worth checking out. They are definitely very high-resolution. The site is easy to use and get around in, and the quality of what they re doing is amazingly good. So, what s that about a giveaway? You heard me right. We re going to use this iPod Touch to thank the Moderators in our chat room. They work many hours every day for absolutely nothing more than our thanks. They are what makes the live community work, and work well. They keep order in chat, and make sure that it s a good place for people of all ages to come to. So what do they have to do? Simple! The Ops and Halfops who wish to enter will each send Kat a little writeup of their most embarassing or funny moment involving using a computer. On Thursday afternoon, July 24th, Kat will upload each other those blurbs to my blog anonymously. There will be no one s name attached to them. We will then open up a poll in the blog, and ask all of you to vote for your favorite. Then, on my birthday Saturday night, July 26th, we will reveal who the winner is, based on the most number of votes. So stay tuned, and check back here to the blog on Thursday so that you can cast your vote! Thanks again to all of the moderators for all of the work you do. You guys rock!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed In front of me is a small, light-weight device. I ve seen it advertised in the past. When I ask people to send me ideas for cool USB products, I keep getting this one sent to me. It s a USB beverage chiller. I was skeptical as to whether one of these would work or not, so I decided to try it for myself. Once it s plugged in for awhile, it will cool to about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is definitely pretty chilly. I didn t realize Mac OS X could do this. I had this cooler plugged into the laptop, and at one point the Mac told me that it was drawing too much USB power and would shut it down. Wow. That s impressive. So, I changed it up and plugged it into one of the USB grommets on my desk. Or, you can plug it into a wall. If you drink cold drinks near your computer, you need one of these. This will keep your drink cold until you finish it. If you re like me, you can t drink soda or anything once it has gotten warm. This Cool It USB Chiller is worth every bit of the $24.95 cost. The next must-have computer accessory is here. With the USB Beverage Chiller at your side, you can keep your beverage chilled and stay at your computer longer. Just seconds after plugging the chiller into your computer’s USB port (no external outlet needed), the coldplate chills to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for keeping your beverage chilled. So what other cool USB gadgets do you want me to check out? Send me your recommendations! Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Several blogs have reported that the battery life of the iPhone 3G and the original iPhone running 2.0 have put a damper on the phone to last all day. Despite the fact that the battery life of the 3G is bad, it s still better than other phones like it. It s true that it drains fast. What are you gonna do? You could carry a cord around with you wherever you go, or get some kind of external battery pack. I ve had my Lenmar external battery pack for awhile, and never really used it much. It s an excellent device though. It s a high-capacity external battery that will charge any USB device, so long as you have the proper cable. That would includes a DS, PSP, iPhone, iPod, Zune.. anything that charges via USB. Yes, it s as big as the iPhone itself, but not nearly as heavy. It does the job, though, which is what matters. When you re traveling, using one of these just makes sense. Why carry tons of separate chargers with you? Simply take an external battery with you, and charge all your devices with it. It has a mini USB connection, and a regular one. There s an indicator light that will tell you whether anything is charging or not, and turns off when the device is fully charged. These aren t cheap to buy, but it s actually saving you money. Think of buying 3 or more separate chargers for devices. Keep in mind, as well, that even proprietary chargers still charge via USB. Using this helps me get through the day, and doubles my charge on my iPhone. I ll be looking for an external battery made specifically for an iPhone. So, pass along your recommendations!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Eric is a regular visitor in our live community, who goes by than handle of iBowler or Bowler4Ever. He is an avid bowler, and sent in his tips to help all of you bowl higher scores! While I read Eric s bowling tips, I had a video done by XXOwnsXY from our chat room. She was playing around with OECake in that video, and it s way cool. Know your shoe size! You need special shoes to bowl in, as street shoes can damage the approach. If you don’t know, check inside your shoe for a tag or the bottom part of the shoe. After you get your lane, look for the bowling ball that weighs the perfect amount for you and make sure it fits your hand! Whatever your body weight is, take 10% from it. That would be the weight of your ball. BUT, if it’s too heavy, keep going a pound lighter until it feels somewhat decent for you. Don’t EVER get the tightest fit for you. If you’ve checked out YouTube, people have launched balls into the ceiling…and clocks! Also, never get balls with the fingerholes too big…you don’t want to get a broken foot! Make sure it’s snug, but still loose enough for you fingers! NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE BOWLING AREA! There’s a reason why those signs are all over the place. What happens if you spill soda all over the approach? You stick! sugary carbonated water turns into a sticky syrup that is a PAIN to clean off the approach and the shoes!…And if you fall and hurt yourself…it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Don’t even bring water down there (precautionary measures). You see that black line where the gutters start? Don’t you DARE go past it! That line is called the foul line and what it does is a) Lets you know that you went too far down and b) saves you from injury. Why? Because after that line there is a ton of oil that goes the rest of the way down the lane a certain distance. That oil is clear and very slippery and you WILL get hurt! Bowler’s Courtesy. Now I know you’re new to the game and all that, but league bowlers (such as myself) HATE it when people just rush up right beside or even in front of them and bowl. It’s very agitating and dangerous! Bowling balls weigh up to 16 pounds and if yo get smacked by one of those suckers, you’re going to get some broken bones! If you’re bowling on the first or last lane of the bowling center, do NOT go down that aisle and knock down the pins that way. Why? It’s dangerous and you can get kicked and banned from the center. It’s happened! So don’t do it! If you re a bowler, what s your highest score ever? What silly mistakes or oopsies have you made while bowling?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If you have your own website, sit still and listen closely. What I m going to talk to you about is that important. Even more important is for you to pass this information on to your friends, family and coworkers. What happens when you go to open your favorite website and it s not there? Well, it s possible you have some malware there, yes. But it s also likely it s a security flaw in your DNS. Recently, a significant threat to DNS, the system that translates names you can remember (such as www.doxpara.com) to numbers the Internet can route (66.240.226.139) was discovered, that would allow malicious people to impersonate almost any website on the Internet. Software companies across the industry have quietly collaborated to simultaneously release fixes for all affected name servers. The problem is, there is a flaw that is going through your DNS. You can protect yourself by setting yourself to OpenDNS. This can affect you no matter what computer or operating system you re using, and no matter what ISP you may have. If you connect to the Internet, you need to have DNS servers. Your computer needs to know how to match an IP address with a domain name. How do you know if your DNS settings have been compromised? Head over to DoxPara. Dan has done a fantastic job of putting all of this information together for you, along with the tool to help you see if you ve been compromised. Whether you re an Expert or a novice you need to check your DNS now. You ll be safe if you switch to OpenDNS. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If any of you subscribe to CPU magazine, you know I m a monthly columnist. I ve become a huge user advocate. I even recently suggested that the hardware and software industry adopt an operating system that isn t Windows in order to benefit Windows. More competition on the desktop is good for everyone. I got an email here about something I know I have heard about in the past. I just haven t had an occasion to tell you all about it. Sam pointed me towards ReactOS. ReactOS is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture. The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change. Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.5 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use. Certainly the hope for open-source will grow. I ve had a long-standing belief that open-source is the future of software. It s more than just a marketing tactic. Not only do you get software for free, it s about learning from the code as well. I m no coder. I can work my way around a file or script, but I can t do much of it on my own from scratch. I can do a bit of HTML and CSS but I only learned that by looking at what others have done. Thanks, Sam, for passing this along. If any of you know about something equally unique, let me know about it! I d love to take a look. Cracking The Forex Code.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed After I blogged recently about wanting to try TiVo, I was sent a unit to review for a few weeks. I ve been wanting to try it out, so this was a great opportunity. With certain software, you can take programs you record on TiVo and transcode them on your computer. You can then turn them into videos you can watch on pretty much any device. All the DVRs I ve had are boxes unto themselves, they couldn t be networked in any way. By networking my TiVo, I can then do as I described, to create videos I can play on my computer, iPhone or any other device I wanted to use. Here are a couple of programs you can use to accomplish this. TiVo Butler is an application that can track programs from multiple TiVo devices that you have on your home network. It s free, and allows you to browse the recordings you ve made on your TiVo. You can download them, encode them and much more. TiVo Butler is only available for Mac OS X. However TiVo Playlist is the Windows equivalent. Everything that you could hope to do with your TiVo, you ll be able to do with ease using TiVo Playlist. Retrieve TiVo Now Playing lists over an ethernet connection and calculate total recording time and disk space used Support for multiple TiVo units Estimate free space remaining given the capacity of the TiVo hard drive(s) Display either full List View or Folder View Mouseover Title shows description of recorded show along with Year Released/Air Date, Actors, Director, etc. View graphical representation of disk free space and space used by either recording status or recording quality Export of Now Playing lists to CSV files for use in other programs such as Microsoft Excel Batch downloading of recordings to PC (even from multiple machines) Tested to run under Windows 2000 and XP Pro and reported to run under Windows 98/ME, XP Home and Vista Works best at screen sizes 800 600 or larger if running 96dpi, or 1024 768 or larger if running 120dpi Downloads to FAT32 partitions support up to 4Gb filesizes, NTFS partitions support files > 4Gb (Windows 2000/XP/Vista only) Access via HTTP/HTTPS and requires TiVo software version 7.1 or newer You know how to email me, if you have other DVR or TiVo software or tips to pass along to me!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Leo LaPorte and I worked together a few years ago on TechTV. Since that time, we have appeared at different conferences and conventions at the same time. People constantly ask when will you and Leo do something together again!? . We are each doing our own thing these days, but it was great fun to get together via phone during Leo s recent 24 Hours of iPhone . We had a lot of laughs, and discussed many different things. First and foremost, of course, we dished about the new iPhone 3G. Here s a peek at some of the other products we talked about. Tengu Here we have a cute little white plastic brick with a face made of LEDs. The tiny microphone in the base picks up sounds in the room, whether it’s music, or your loudmouth boss, and makes his mouth move in time. It’s like he’s lip synching to the song! Kinda like Britney, only much much smaller, and probably smells better. He’s USB powered, so plug him in to any powered USB port, set him near your favorite sound-source, and your little buddy will perform for you all day long! USB Humping Dog It doesn’t serve any purpose, but it’s what they do. They are insatiable. And that’s all we really have to say. Harley is brown and Duke is black, and you can take your pick. Oh, and don’t worry - if the kids ask what the doggie is doing to your computer, just say, “He’s trying to jump over the computer, but he got a little stuck,” or “The computer is giving him a piggyback ride.” Either will suffice. We, of course, had to talk about live streaming. I explained to Leo that I love leaving the stream running all the time for many reasons. You never know what will happen at any given time throughout the day. You can see bloopers, chat it up with the Mods, watch me lose my patience and sanity, and even help me out when I m stuck. Leo said that I am his inspiration for his own live streaming. He said he caught what we were doing here one day, and thought to himself this is what I need to be doing! . It was great spending some time chatting one-on-one with Leo again. Keep your eyes and ears open. You never know when and where it could happen again.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I ll miss my iPhone. I will no longer be using it as my primary communications device. We ve had really good times together. We ve had good conversations together, and sent many a great text message. There s nothing wrong with my iPhone. It s just not for me anymore. We ve grown apart, that s all. I m breaking up with my iPhone. It s true. I won t be using it anymore. Maybe Wicket will want it. Instead, I ll be using my iPhone 3G!!! Oh come on. You should have seen that one coming. You ve been watching me wait for the 3G to get here for how long now? I gotta tell you. I m happy with the upgrade so far. It s not a dramatic upgrade, no. My initial impressions are good. For the most part, it s a good experience. Instabilities abound, many of which have been noted on iPhone and apple-related sites and forums. The hope of the community is that Apple will be releasing a firmware update at some point in the very near future, to clear up some of the hiccups that people are experiencing. Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again. Phone Make a call by tapping a name or send a text with the intelligent keyboard. iPod Enjoy music and video on a widescreen display and shop for music with a tap. Internet Browse the real web, get HTML email, and find yourself with GPS maps. What s new in the iPhone? 3G Speed 3G technology gives iPhone fast access to the Internet and email over cellular networks around the world. iPhone 3G also makes it possible to do more in more places: Surf the web, download email, get directions, and watch video — even while you’re on a call. Maps with GPS Find your location, get directions, and see traffic — all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever. App Store Tap into the App Store and you’ll find applications in every category, from games to business, education to entertainment, finance to health and fitness, productivity to social networking. These applications have been designed to take advantage of iPhone features such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, wireless, and GPS. And some are even free. You can download them wirelessly and start using them right away. There are so many more things, as well. You can check them all out for yourself on the Apple website, or in any Apple store. I m telling you. The iPhone is changing the way we communicate, work and play. If you have the 3G already, what are your initial thoughts? If you don t have one yet why not?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Yes, it s Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D, which is available in the App Store for about $10.00 if you have an iPhone, of course. I have heard a lot about this, so I had to check it out. This app has been sponsored by Matt. Thanks to all of you for the iTunes gift cards! Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D is a Mario Kart-like 3D racer with Crash Bandicoot at the wheel instead of the chubby Brooklyn plumber. You unlock new characters as you collect items, but the controls are pretty much standard for iPhone racing games. The default calibration is off, leading Crash to always veer left at the neutral point even when we started up the game with the phone on a desk. This means you need to tilt the phone slightly to the right to go straight. One thing that strikes me as really good about this game is the accelerometer option. You can adjust the sensitivity, which I did. I tend to over-steer at times. You can adjust the sounds and/or music if you wish. You can choose your player, once you unlock them. The game loads quickly. The game is fun, but there s still optimization that needs to happen. It s dropping some frames, but not horribly. I don t miss having a joystick, believe it or not. It s very simple to steer and control the game characters. If you re familiar with this type of game, I think you ll fall in love with it. Train Your Brain For The Game- .mpcAudio Download.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed You won t believe me, especially if you ve tried to do this on any other device. You won t believe how easy it is to update the software on your iPhone. I already have over 70 apps installed on my iPhone, and the App Store has only been open for a week. When you have new messages for any app, a little number will show up in the upper right-hand corner. The App Store is where you go on your iPhone to browse and buy new applications. When you are at the App Store there is a tab for updates. The App Store will remember what apps you already have installed, and will tell you which ones have new updates. You simply enter your iTunes password, tap a button, and the app is updated. That really is all you have to do. When the phone is sync d with my desktop, it will download the latest version from the web. Then, I ll always have the latest app on my iPhone. This is why I believe that software on the iPhone is convenient, user-friendly, and a game changer. Apple has raised the bar so high over the competition in this area there is no word to describe it properly. You have to let me know what your favorite iPhone apps are.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed What ringtone do you have on your mobile device right now? Did you download it from the Internet, or are you using one that came with your phone. It s so much better to go online to get one for your phone for free. We ve done many of these types of videos in the past. Today, I have a new one to tell you about. On Tonzr, you can gain free access to MILLIONS (6,826,506 and counting) of MP3 ringtones, or realtones . There are just three easy steps to getting your ringtone: Search for an artist or song title. Preview the ringtones by clicking the play button to the left of each result. When you find the ringtone you want, click the title of the track and have it sent to your phone! That s all there is to it. There s nothing to sign up for, and more importantly nothing to pay for. So far, we support any phone with internet and MP3 capabilities on the following networks: Sprint, Nextel, AT T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, Cellular South, and Cricket. We ll be adding Helio and hopefully many others soon. Tonzr is completely, entirely, honestly free. Free, free, free, free. There is absolutely no hidden fees or subscriptions so you won t have any surprises when your phone bill comes. Seriously, it s totally free. I can t think of an easier (and cheaper!) way to get a great ringtone for your phone. Blackberry Mp3 Ringtones. Make Money With Mikey J EBooks And Turnkey Websites.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If things look different in this video compared to others I ve done, it s because I have a new laptop stand. I m not sure if I ll use it as my primary stand, though. They re usually designed to help make your notebook more ergonomic and comfortable for people, and helps keep it properly cooled. No matter what kind of notebook you have, they tend to overheat without proper airflow. Getting some type of laptop stand is a good thing for this reason. The one I normally use is a Targus. It has a couple of fans, and a couple of USB ports. The Alto from Logitech is the one I want to talk about today. First, let s look at the features: Notebook display riser: Elevates and extends your notebook s display for viewing comfort. Relaxes you while making you more productive. Full-sized keyboard: Type faster, with less fatigue. The integrated soft palm rest adds wrist support and keeps your hands away from the hot notebook surface. One-touch hot keys: Get instant access to your digital music with media and volume controls. Additional hot keys instantly take you to your favorite applications, folders, and Web pages. Multipurpose USB hub: Use three high-speed USB 2.0 ports to connect your favorite peripherals, including cordless mice, webcams, printers, and external drives. Works with virtually any notebook: Use it with your current notebook—and your next one. Easy setup and storage: Flip it open for instant use on almost any flat surface; fold it down for easy transport and storage. I think this is a nice laptop stand, but it is really pricey. It looks good, and is really functional. It will make good office decor, for sure. I don t know. Maybe I ll grow to like it more over time. It makes my MacBook sit up entirely too high for my needs.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I remember back in the day, making mix tapes for girls. What? How can you not know what mix tapes are? You took two boomboxes, two cassette tapes and made your own mix tapes full of songs. Now that we don t make those anymore, the personal touch has gone by the wayside. Sending someone a link just isn t personal. Thankfully, you can now just zip over and use PlayList. Projectplaylist.com is an information location tool similar to Google® and Yahoo!® but devoted entirely to the world of music. Our purpose is to help you find and enjoy music legally throughout the web in the same way that other search engines help you find webpages, images, and other media, but we also add a social /community twist. We make it easy for you to create playlists, share your playlists with friends, and browse playlists of others. We connect you with the coolest music on the web, and we connect people who are passionate about music. Music is burgeoning on the web. Increasingly, artists, record companies, music bloggers, music websites and music critics are uploading music files to websites that they control for promotional or other legal purposes. Our mission at Project Playlist, Inc. is to organize this rapidly growing abundance of legal music on the web for the benefit of the worldwide music community – artists, songwriters, music distributors, and listeners alike. Our view is that the more people share their individual passion for music by sharing playlists, the more music will be created, and the more the entire music industry will grow. Projectplaylist.com allows you to discover all of this free music legally because we respect the rights of copyright holders and we insist that you do as well. We pay royalties to songwriters and music publishers, and we respect the performing artist’s choice. Some performing artists make their music freely available on the web, others allow you to listen to only a few freely available songs through a promotional site, and a few would prefer that none of their music be heard on the web at all. If an artist tells us that our search engine is linking to an illegally posted song, we will immediately take down the link to that music file. It doesn t get any better than that. I can now go in, and create a playlist especially for my wife, to welcome her home from her trip. I know I missed her, and the dogs really did. I think they might be getting a tad tired of having just Daddy around. Why not go and create a playlist or twelve of your own? Elmore Music - New Product! Speed Learning System, Usd $94 Payout!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If you guys are wondering why on Earth you would ever want to stop by our live show. Well, the reason is VNC for the iPhone.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed My friend Geoff Smith created my custom ringtone for my iPhone. Many of you want that ringtone, even though your name isn t Chris. Well, I finally uploaded it for you all. Feel free to use it if you have an iPhone. I uploaded the ringtone to Drop.io. Drop is a free service that lets you quickly and easily share files of all types. A drop is a chunk of space you can use to store and share anything privately (pictures, videos, audio, documents, etc.), without accounts, registration, or an email address. Drops are not searchable and not networked; they just exist online as private points for exchange between individuals or groups. Create as many drops as you want in as little as two clicks and set things like a password, whether others can add to the drop, and how long you want it to exist (you can renew later). Drops can be flexibly used in a range of ways from sharing family photos and videos to collaborating on group projects. Each drop has four primary input methods – the web, email, voice, and fax – and a few secondary ones like widgets. Anything you input into a drop can then be retrieved on the web at that drop location. Another great way to share files is through MediaFire. You can share an unlimited number of files on MediaFire, as long as each file is under 100MB. You can link to your MediaFire files from within MySpace or a blog. Use folders to easily share groups of files or create galleries for all your images. No registration necessary and no software to install. Why would you use either of these services? Besides the fact they are free, you can keep frequently used files online for easy access from any computer with an internet connection. What other sites like these do you use? Which ones do you find to be reputable, as opposed to the ones that are just not worth your time? Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Believe it or not, I have been accused of never talking about Windows. That s an illusion. Apparently, there s just not a lot of interesting Windows software out there anymore. If there is you re not telling me about it. How can I let everyone know about cool programs like this one if you don t point me towards them? Send me links to the cool stuff you find, and I ll be happy to talk about it. PictoMio is more than just a digital photo manager. It happens to be a full-on suite of tools to help you clean up and organize your digital photos and videos. You can think of this as the way Picasa should be. Don t get me wrong, I ve been using Picasa for years. But, Picasa has kind of fallen flat. They kind of stopped developing it. And now, along comes the free PictoMio, available for Windows only. Pictomio easily manages thousands of media intensive image and video archives and groups your media according to orientation, time, type, size, rating, etc. Finally a tool to directly manage your videos. Along with viewing Thumbnails you can also rotate and zoom video.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed One of the first things I bought from the App Store is a little program called Starmap. I m an amateur Astronomer, and just love checking things out in the Galaxy. Sometimes when I m looking at the stars, I don t know exactly what I m looking at. That s where Starmap could come in handy. The best thing about Starmap is that you can take it with you while stargazing, thanks to your iPhone. Pocket astronomers will find a screen that shows a sky full of planets, visible stars, named stars, galaxies, and nebulae, and coordinates that you can access and search for from an unobtrusive ribbon of icons. Sensitivity to the accelerometer tips the view vertically and horizontally, and you can pinch and pull the screen to get a closer look at the arrangement of the points of light. It s a fair and interesting start, if not a bit static, and the land-locked dreamer in me sees many more interactive possibilities as the tools and technology progress like a real-time night mode that uses the camera as a telescope to automatically fix the star chart around you and a Wikipedia plug-in that spoon-feeds you information about what you re looking at. You know, the kinds of extras you d expect from Google Earth. Indeed, this is a powerful app. The problem is that at times, it s unresponsive. As far as I m concerned, it s just unusable. When it does respond, it responds so slowly, that I can t even tell if the app is working anymore. That s inexcusable. For $12.00, I certainly expected more. For an application to behave like this is totally not right. The idea behind Starmap is phenominal, however it wasn t programmed very well. When I try to go back to the home page the iPhone completely locks up. So there you have it. While the programmers may have had good intentions, they have some work to do for this to be a viable app. Tell me, what other Astronomy app would you recommend for me to try out? If you ve had a difference experience with Starmap than I did, please let me know. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?
