Free online language courses
Most online language courses that I have tested so far do not utilize the advantages of the web at all. Those courses simply copy language courses from books. Mango is the first language course that I’m aware of that uses interactive elements to support the language course.
Joost 1.0 Beta is out
Joost has released yet another version of their acclaimed Internet TV client that streams prerecorded TV shows to the users computer. The new version has one feature in particular that was well overdue. Joost can now be updated from within the client.

Preezo: Create Powerpoint Presentations Online
Preezo is a fast powerpoint maker on the web. Like most of the web 2.0 apps it uses Ajax to power its site. To use the application you need to register and log in. The first thing I notice is there is no lag at all using the different features. It is very responsive. Even with Google Docs there is some lag while adding stuff. I would happily use this on my browser.
Feel the image, become the image
I’m writing this article rather excited because of what I have just seen. Panoramic photos recently started to be very popular when the first algorithms and applications for creating such images appeared and digital cameras were given support for this specific kind of shooting.

Monetize your website with TNX ads
I heavily rely on Everton from Connected Internet who sends me new interesting ways to monetize my sites from time to time. Today he was sending me a link and a short description of TNX which basically sells links on your website. Unlike other sites that sell links the links from TNX are sold on a per page basis. Every sold page earns the user points which can be either exchanged into cash or used to buy links as well.
Israeli company to produce 1-5 TB discs
The competition between Blue-Ray and HD-DVD seems to be ridiculous and pointless when you compare it with the plans of Mempile company. After achieving the maximum of 2 or 4 layers on present-day discs, they’re coming with a 200-layer medium called TeraDisc™. It’s those 200 virtual layers in a DVD-size medium (1,2 mm thick) that allow such a huge amount of data to be stored 3-dimensionally on a single disc. The medium contains light sensitive molecules (chromophores) capable of switching between two states thus saving digital data.
How to avoid saving spaceball.gif at Flickr
Some images at Flickr are weakly protected with an image overlay called spaceball.gif. Whenever you right-click the image to save it you do save spaceball.gif instead which is a 1×1 pixel image showing nothing at all. The same happens if you try to drag the image to your desktop or hard drive.
