First up, we finally have Marvel Comics titles available on the App store (yay!). Then we have this cool new app that translates your speech as you <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">speek</span> (thanks Doc) speak (how cool is that?!) and there is this another app that makes it easy to shoot Time Lapse videos with your iPhone. Plus, if you are a board game freak you are in for a treat as well.</p>
<p>In other news, did you know that the iPhone is closing in on Blackberry&#8217;s market share? Read all about it and more (Droid, HTC, Google) in <a href="http://otakugadgets.com/cell-phones/all-phones-thursday-general-android-lands-google-navigation-app-kills-general-destruction-expected-and-more/" target="_blank">Otaku Gadget&#8217;s phone news round-up for this week</a>.</p>

<p>Comixology are the people who made the brilliant free comic reader on the iPhone. Now they have gone ahead and added <em>71</em> Marvel Comics titles to the in-app purchase catalogue. The titles include names such as <em>The Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, X-Men Age Of Apocalypse </em>and<em> X-23</em>. The comics are priced at $2 each. One bad news – it is US only.</p>
<p>The title are also available on iVerse and Panelfly. iVerse users get the same deal and Panelfly users actually get them for $0.99 each [<a href="http://mashable.com/2009/10/30/marvel-comics-iphone/">read</a>]</p>

<p>Do you like time-lapse videos? You know, the ones where a very long event is shot in video and then compressed into a short footage? Like the growing of a sapling or the setting up of a stage? (that rhymes!) Now you can easily make videos like that with your iPhone, thanks to an app called the <em>Timelapser</em>. Clearly, the developers have spent all their efforts on making the app, not naming it (or making an good UI for it). And for one buck, you have no excuse for trying it out.

<p>Do you meet Spanish-speaking people frequently but can’t speak the language to save your life? Worry not, the Jibbigo iPhone app has you covered. It is a nifty little app that converts your speech (English) to Spanish right as you speak. The converted text is then turned to speech and played over the microphone. It also works in reverse, saving you from uni-directional conversation. And the best part is that the entire thing is done offline, so you don’t have to worry about it not working in places where you can’t get a signal to go online. At $25, it is much cheaper than hiring your own translator to roam around with you wherever you go. Besides, some conversations should always stay private ;) .

<p>Sometimes, we all feel like blowing off a bit of steam, using heavy artillery and generally blowing things up with a heavy machine gun. Of course, we can’t always do what we want. So what <em>do</em> we do when we feel like a tightly packed box of gun powder just waiting for a spark? We get a new iPhone App called <em>Firepower</em> and blow the head off the annoying co-worker end every other annoying thing. I mean virtually of course. You can’t expect to get the real thing for $1, that too on your iPhone. You can also point it at you PC when the thing goes BSoD on you!

<p>This is about Settlers of Catan. Do I see you jumping up and down going <em>yes yes  yes yes yes</em>? Well then, you would be happy to know that this popular board game is now available as an iPhone app. The the premise of the game is that you and (up to) three other players are on a tropical island and you have to beat the others by gathering 10 victory points. You get points for capturing settlements, building roads, etc.</p>
<p>You can play against other humans or against the AI. There is no multiplayer mode on this and so you have to physically pass the phone around in order to play the game with your friends. For $5, this is a nice game to help you spend those snowed-in days with your friends and family. [<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28294/settlers-of-catan-comes-to-iphone">read</a>]</p>

<p>Want to watch live NBA games on the go? Now you can do that for $40/year on your iPhone and other mobile devices. The NBA is offering full live games on mobile devices, up from only the highlights that it used to do. For the fee, you get to watch up to 40 live games per week (wow) and also access to up to two days of archived game. You can even pause and rewind up to 30 seconds during a live feed. Currently available on AT&amp;T and T-mobile USA. Way to get more dedicated viewers NBA! [<a href="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/33535053/ns/sports-nba/">read</a>]</p>

<p>Before I sign off, I <em>have </em>to show you people<em> </em><a href="http://mashable.com/2009/10/28/iphone-wedding-cake/"><em>this</em></a>. It is the next big update on the iPhone. It is so good, it is actually delicious. In fact, I am wishing I could get one custom-made for myself right now!</p>
<p>Also, how could I <em>not</em> post this video in this iPhone post! It pokes fun at the iDon&#8217;t Verizon Motorola Droid ad campaign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-17469" title="app_store" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/app_store.jpg" alt="app_store" width="154" height="134" />The iPhone has been one of the major driving factors behind the exponential growth of Apple in recent times. Their latest financial report for Q3 2009 shows growth that has blown everyone away, including themselves it seems. Despite the soft economy, they have actually managed to remain terrifically bullish and have gained 12% year on year. Most of it is thanks to the iPhone and the App Store. So here we have some of the latest happenings in the iPhone world – a new iPhone rumor, two great apps and an App store policy change that will mean more money for both Apple and app devs.</p>
<p>If you want to know what Apple’s been up to last week, you can read my <a href="http://otakugadgets.com/cell-phones/apple-pie-saturday-mac-pros-gulftown-bound-hexacore-new-imacs-next-week-and-jailbreak-deja-vu/">weekly Apple round up</a> and the <a href="http://otakugadgets.com/cell-phones/catch-up-monday-apple’s-q3-2009-earnings-4g-iphone-on-verizon-sony’s-new-3d-display-device-and-htc-dragon-live-shots/">Monday news round up</a> at Otaku Gadgets.</p>
<h3><span id="more-17461"></span>Verizon Said To Be Testing iPhone 4G</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-17466 aligncenter" title="iphone-4g-on-verizon-lte3" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/iphone-4g-on-verizon-lte3.jpg" alt="iphone-4g-on-verizon-lte3" width="389" height="251" /></p>
<p>A relatively unknown source has been spotted saying something quite intriguing. Verizon has apparently been testing out a new CDMA version of the iPhone on its 4G LTE network.</p>
<p>Other than the part about an iPhone that will have data speeds that are about ten times that of current ones available to it, the Verizon part makes it even more interesting. That is because Verizon has kicked off a campaign today that basically mocks the iPhone and tries to push the new Motorola Droid as the phone that <em>does what i</em>Phone <em>Doesn’t.</em> So far, it is one of the silliest ad campaigns I have ever seen. Being an Apple user, I can only manage to laugh at it. I don’t know much about the Droid personally, so I will refrain from commenting on that. [<a href="http://www.9to5mac.com/apple_verizon_4g">read</a>]</p>
<h3>Rock Band Arrives For iPhone</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17467" title="rock-band-now-in-app-store" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rock-band-now-in-app-store-0.jpg" alt="rock-band-now-in-app-store" width="307" height="474" /></p>
<p>What else do you want to know? Just grab the app and start tapping like crazy on your iPhone 3GS while rocking out to favorite classic rock numbers. The 20 songs that come with the game include the likes of Blink-182, Jethro Tull, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Smashing Pumpkins, Steve Millers band, Beastie Boys and more. You can download more from the in-game store.</p>
<p>As you see from the bands named above, all sorts of the rock sound have been included in the game. From contemporary punk to classic glam, it is all there for you to enjoy. The strategy is of course to draw out all the rock fans out there, no matter what their age or preference. If any of you are already tapping, I mean rocking out with this, drop us a comment and let us know how you like it. [<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/18/rock-band-hits-the-app-store/">read</a>]</p>
<h3>Layar 2.0 Now Available On iPhone 3GS</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17470" title="layar-shot-2" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/layar-shot-2.jpg" alt="layar-shot-2" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p>The hot and much loved augmented reality app, Layar [2.0], has finally been ported to the iPhone 3GS from Android. Layar is a brilliant augmented reality app that adds an extra layer of information on what you are looking at.</p>
<p>For example, if you are standing facing the Eiffel Tower, on screen you will see the Eiffel Tower with a short description of the structure and links to more data on it. It uses the built in GPS and magnetometer to determine your location and direction.</p>
<p>It is even more useful when you are in an unknown location and want to get information on local resources like restaurant reviews, maps and directions. Actually, paraphrasing <em>Morpheus</em>, you have to see for yourself what the Layar augmented reality browser is all about. [<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/14/layar-brings-augmented-reality-browser-to-the-iphone-screenshots/">read</a>]</p>
<h3>Apple Finally Allows In-App Purchases For Free iPhone Apps</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14030" title="iphone" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/iphone.gif" alt="iphone" width="300" height="495" /></p>
<p>In a very intelligent move, Apple has finally allowed free apps to have in-app purchases within them. This means quite a few good things for both app developers and Apple.</p>
<p>For app developers, this is a much-needed and asked for way to monetize their apps. This also means that excellent free apps with paid content inside will be further developed and won’t be abandoned due to lack of revenue. For Apple, this is yet another way to generate more revenues from mammoth collection of Apps for the iPhone. I love it when things change for the better for everybody, don’t you? :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not a lot of movies are released exclusive to Bittorrent. The American Prince is the latest movie, or shall we call it documentary, that is exclusively distributed this way. What probably makes it even more interesting is the fact that it was produced by well known director Tommy Pallotta who made great movies such as A Scanner Darkly in the past. Tommy decided that it was time to bring Scorcese&#8217;s lost documentary &#8216;American Boy&#8217; back to life by creating this film and distributing it on a channel that everyone in the world has access to.</p>
<p>Scorsese original documentary was shot more than thirty years ago and influenced many film makers including Quentin Tarantino who used one of the stories of the documentary in his Pulp Fiction movie (the one with the adrenalin shot to the heart). Since the movie was never officially released Pallotta had to collect materials from other sources like Bittorrent or Youtube to get the film done. While he did get a master copy of the film from Steven Prince himself he discovered an even better copy on the Bittorrent network.</p>
<p><span id="more-13522"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/american_prince..jpg" alt="american prince." title="american prince." width="286" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13523" /></p>
<p>The movie can be directly downloaded from Bittorrent. The torrent is <a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/2660738">linked</a> at Mininova. The movie has a size of about 420 Megabytes. It is already listed on IMDB with a 9.1 rating although it probably will go down when more users start voting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://vastfm.com/">Vastfm</a> provides an interesting free of charge service that allows users to listen music online; Lots of music to be precise. The website uses mashups to provide their content as their servers are only hosting a few lines of code that power the site. What Vastfm is doing is to pull the selected artist&#8217;s discography from open online music directories and combine the information found with the music of Youtube videos. </p>
<p>The result is pretty amazing. The complete discography of many artists are shown on the results page. All albums and songs can be played right on the website without additional plugins or registration hassles.</p>
<p>Users who want to <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/03/05/listen-to-music-online/">listen to music online</a> can enter a band or artist name in the search form or pick one of the suggestions in the tag cloud below. It takes only a few seconds before the next page is loaded containing information about the discography of the selected band or artist. The first song of one of the music albums will play automatically.</p>
<p><span id="more-11141"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/listen_to_music_online2-500x297.jpg" alt="listen to music online2" title="listen to music online2" width="500" height="297" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11142" /></p>
<p>The results are spot on. Even the tested live albums did return the live songs (most of the times) and not other studio versions of the songs. All songs were playing fine during tests, there was no delay or any other sort of disturbance. The page with the music player uses several ads which might be distracting to some users. It provides the means to purchase songs at Amazon. There are also some concert information listed on some pages.</p>
<p>Vastfm is a unique interesting website that provides access to virtually any band and song that can be found on Youtube.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you buzz on the Internet? One of the most successful ways is a viral marketing campaign. Samsung thought of a great way of promoting their new 256GB MLC Solid State Drives. They decided to create an uber-geeky computer system powered by 24 of their SSDs in Raid mode and show of the video at Youtube. </p>
<p>24 drives equals a total storage of 6 Terabytes. The other system specs are as impressive. They added a combination of two Intel 3.2GHz QX9775 Quad-Core cpus, two ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards, 4GB of 800MHz FB-DIMM DDR2 SDRAM, two Corsair HX1000W power supply units, an Adaptec 5 Series RAID card, an Areca 1680ix-24 RAID card and of course the 24 256GB MLC Solid State Drives.</p>
<p>How fast was the system after all?  They managed to top 2 Gigabytes of sequential write and reading speed. They performed some tests like loading all Microsoft Office applications (in 0.5 seconds), all 53 apps of the Windows start menu (in 18.09 seconds), copying a 700 Megabyte DVD rip (0.8 seconds) or recycling 700 files with a total size of 5.6 Gigabytes (instantly).</p>
<p><span id="more-11071"></span><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/96dWOEa4Djs&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/96dWOEa4Djs&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>The viral marketing campaign is highly successful with more than 250K views on Youtube already. Can you imaging running a system like this? What are your thoughts, let us know!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are a novice or an intermediate user in the world of Photoshop, everyone can use tutorials. Even if a person is comfortable with the software, tutorials are a great way of introducing oneself to new styles and concepts and pretty much be amazed by what you can create with Photoshop.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for Photoshop tutorials, <a href="http://www.vunkysearch.net/" target="_blank">Vunky Search</a> is the place to go to. This site labels itself as the ‘Fast and Furious Photoshop Tutorial Browser’ or in other words, a Photoshop search engine. Both in looks and function, Vunky Search resembles one of the many multi-torrent search engines out there.</p>
<p>When you look at the homepage, you notice the links to popular searches. Below that are some of the featured tutorials for the day. If you’re searching for something specific, type in a search term. If you’re browsing around, just ‘randomize’ or click on a link that interests you. The selected tutorial opens in its original site with no hassles.</p>
<p><span id="more-10592"></span>Vunky Search currently indexes 88 tutorials but I expect this number to increase over time. Some of the tutorials are simply superb. One more thing I’d like to see is tutorials for more software like Paint and the GIMP. After all, not everyone uses Photoshop.</p>
<p>What do you think of Vunky Search? How do you think the site can be improved? What’s your favorite image tutorials site? Let me know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows Mobile Wallpaper Pack <a href="http://madpotato.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Mobile-Wallpaper-Pack-83903450">1</a> and <a href="http://madpotato.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Mobile-Wallpack-No-2-92117995">2</a> are collections of wallpapers in the formats 480&#215;640 and 240&#215;320 that have been specifically designed for Windows Mobile devices. Both Windows Mobile Wallpaper Packs are available for download at the Deviant Art profile page of the creator. The downloads have a size of 14.6 and 10.8 Megabytes and contain a selection of 133 wallpapers that spice up the look and feels of the mobile device.</p>
<p>The wallpapers have to be unpacked and transferred to the Windows Mobile device after downloading them from the website. Each package will unpack into two directories that refer to the sizes of the wallpapers contained within. While the wallpaper packs have been specifically designed for Windows Mobile devices they can basically be used on any device with a screen resolution of either 480&#215;640 or 240&#215;320.</p>
<p><span id="more-10248"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/windows_mobile_wallpaper-500x373.jpg" alt="windows mobile wallpaper" title="windows mobile wallpaper" width="500" height="373" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10249" /></a><br />
<img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/windows_mobile_wallpaper2-499x389.jpg" alt="windows mobile wallpaper" title="windows mobile wallpaper" width="499" height="389" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10250" /></p>
<p>Wallpapers are divided into several categories like nature, abstract or people. This means that the packs do contain enough variety to please most users. Well worth a download if you use a mobile device with a supported screen resolution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s digital world, pretty much everything is possible online, including creating photo slideshows. And <a href="http://www.imageloop.com/en/index.htm" target="_blank">ImageLoop</a> is an online service that helps you do just that. This free service makes slideshow creation a breeze and also provides lots of other services.</p>
<p>With ImageLoop, creating a slideshow is very easy. You can either upload a bunch of photos from your hard drive or import them from an online service that stores photos. The only requirement is that all photos must be in JPG format. Fancy a Flickr photo that isn’t yours? No problem, ImageLoop lets users import photos from Myspace and Flickr just by typing in the username, not just their own.</p>
<p>Once the photos are uploaded, you can customize the look and feel of your slideshow, and add descriptions to your photos as well. Once the slideshow is ready, you can email it to your family and friends or use one of the available embed codes to publish it on the internet. ImageLoop also allows you to decide just who can view your slideshow by changing the access levels. If you want to go back and change the accessibility, you can do that too.</p>
<p><span id="more-9970"></span>ImageLoop is free to use but it does require registration. This is obvious otherwise users would not be able to edit their slideshows. Once registered, there are no limits on the number of slideshows a user can create.</p>
<p>As far as ease of use is concerned, the service ranks highly. The compatibility with social networks also scores well. Another bonus is the ability to use photos that do not belong to the user. However, this is a double-edged sword because if a user posts a slideshow with copyrighted pictures, he or she could get into trouble.</p>
<p>Overall, I think ImageLoop is a good service, especially for people always sharing pictures with their friends over social networks. What are your thoughts on ImageLoop and photo sharing? Let me know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like most people, I have a fairly large collection of music in a digital format. The only problem is that very often I get songs that are at different volume levels. This is irksome because then I have situations where one song is really loud and the next one is very soft.</p>
<p>To solve this problem, I usually standardize the volume of all my audio files. To do this, I use a little program called MP3Gain. But if you do not want to add to the endless list of software installed on your computer, you can opt for getting the job done with a browser-based application. One such tool is Vloud.</p>
<p>Vloud allows you to upload any mp3 or wav file to the site and change its volume according to your preferences. Using the site is easy. Select the desired volume you want your file to have from the options light, loud, louder, and loudest. Then, upload the original file and wait for the changes to take place. Once the file is ready, you can listen to it online or download it to your hard drive.</p>
<p><span id="more-9557"></span>The site is not without its limitations. One of them is that the uploaded file can be a maximum of 10MB. This is not a problem if you’re uploading individual songs but won’t work if you want to use a concert recording for example. Another thing I didn’t like was that the volume settings were too vague. A ‘loud’ setting does not really tell me how my file is going to sound after conversion. So I’d have to keep trying different settings till I found one I liked.</p>
<p>Overall though, Vloud is quite useful especially for people who do not want to be burdened with things like bitrates, decibels, and frequencies. Plus, for those who only require to change file volume once in a while, using an application like Vloud makes more sense.</p>
<p>What do you think of Vloud? Is it worthwhile using a web app on your audio files? What other similar tools do you know of? Let me know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every now and then I encounter a website that does not really fit into any category here at Ghacks but is worth promoting. <a href="http://www.speakaboos.com">Speakaboo</a> is one of those websites. It is a website for children and parents alike. It offers access to various stories for children which are narrated by professional speakers and animated as well. </p>
<p>The site offers those stories free of charge, anyone can watch them online without having to register first. Each story makes use of subtitles to make it easier for anyone to follow. </p>
<p>You find several popular stories on the website such as The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen or Cinderella. This website can keep English speaking kids (and parents) busy for many hours which might just be the thing needed during Christmas to keep the little brats quiet for some time. And it is something different than those degenerated Simpsons, Family Guy or Spongebob cartoons that parents let them usually watch. </p>
<p><span id="more-9226"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/speakaboos-500x334.jpg" alt="speakaboos" title="speakaboos" width="500" height="334" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9227" /></p>
<p>The best case would be of course if someone at home would narrate or read the story to the children but as this is not always possible this could be an alternative for busy parents. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s holiday season and while it is the season to spend time with the family and be grateful for your loved ones, it’s also the season for presents. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, it’s likely that there’s something you really want to get your hands on.</p>
<p>Since this is Ghacks, there’s a pretty good chance that your ‘must-have’ is tech-related. If it is, why not share your wish with the rest of us? Maybe you want a new souped-up computer for your gaming needs, or that fancy new mobile phone. How about the latest portable media player?</p>
<p><span id="more-9187"></span>Another point of interest is whether you envision yourself owning the desired gadget soon. If not, what’s stopping you? Is it the lack of finance, logistical difficulties (like the product not being available where you live) etc. Or is it that you simply can’t justify buying the gadget because you already have a similar one in perfectly good condition.</p>
<p>I’ll start the ball rolling on this one. One thing I really want to have is a good portable media player. I was supposed to get one this Christmas but things haven’t worked out as planned since the person who was bringing it has been unable to do so. Now, I’m starting to have second thoughts.</p>
<p>What about you? What’s on your wishlist for the holidays? Let me know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CardFunk should remind everyone of <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/11/18/elf-yourself-redesigned/">Elf Yourself</a> as it practically uses the same concept for its eCards. A user visiting the page can create an <a href="http://www.cardfunk.com">eCard</a> for Christmas. The final product will have up to five dancing characters, music and a personal message.</p>
<p>The basic steps are similar to Elf Yourself. You start by picking the number of characters that should appear on the eCard. You can pick between one to five. Dragging and dropping the three available character models is the next step. Available are one female and two male models.</p>
<p>The real customization begins in step three. You need to upload pictures of faces that are placed on the characters heads. The software makes it really easy to adjust the face so that it fits nicely on the models.</p>
<p><span id="more-8803"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/christmas_ecards-500x335.jpg" alt="christmas ecards" title="christmas ecards" width="500" height="335" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8804" /></p>
<p>When all photos have been uploaded and adjusted it is time to set a background and pick a music for the eCard. The last step allows to add a personal short message to the eCard.</p>
<p>You do not have to enter your real credentials if you do not want. The name however is shown beneath the message when viewing the eCard. Options are to embed the card on a website, to send it to someone per email or to send the link directly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I almost decided to create a top x list of the nerdiest screensavers on the planet but decided against it. You get a simple list of some of the nerdiest screensavers around, many compatible to Windows PCs and Macs.</p>
<p>Screensavers nowadays are more for showing off than to really save the computer screen. Many users prefer to turn off the computer monitor whenever they will leave the workspace for a longer period of time.</p>
<p>Still, if you like screensavers you might fall in love with the ones listed below. If you got or know of an extraordinarily cool nerdy screenshot let me know in the comments.</p>
<p><span id="more-8745"></span><a href="http://www.twittearth.com/">TwittEarth</a> (Windows XP, Mac coming soon)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/twittearth-500x312.jpg" alt="" title="twittearth" width="500" height="312" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8747" /></p>
<p>A Twitter world map mashup. The screensaver is displaying Twitter messages of random Twitter users in their correct location on the world map. Each user is displayed as a avatar on the world map which gets crowded pretty fast.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mappedup.com/">Mapped Up</a> (Windows, Mac OS X)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/mapped_up-500x312.jpg" alt="" title="mapped up" width="500" height="312" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8746" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately dead since 2006 a screensaver at least what&#8217;s the latest blog post dating back to Aug 18, 2006 suggests. The screensaver is displaying a world map RSS feeds mashup that is showing updated news in the world. The original website allowed for customization for registered users. Registration is unfortunately not enabled anymore. The default news on the other hand are still displayed fine in the screensaver.</p>
<p>You can use the mouse to hover an entry to read the title. Clicking on a title will load the news item in the default web browser.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twingly.com/screensaver">Twingly Screensaver</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/twingly-500x312.jpg" alt="twingly" title="twingly" width="500" height="312" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8749" /></p>
<p>A visualization of the state of the blogosphere according to Twingly. If that does not sound nerdy enough I do not know what does. Twingly is a blog search engine. The screensaver displays updated blog posts in real time. It comes with an interactive mode which gives the user more control over the items and enough time to actually read what it happening.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mewho.com/system47/download1.htm">System 47</a> (Windows, Mac OS X)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/system_47-500x312.jpg" alt="system 47" title="system 47" width="500" height="312" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8750" /></p>
<p>It is pretty common knowledge that Star Trek fans are some of the nerdiest humans in this planet. System 47 should be the best possible screensaver for their computer systems. It comes with sounds and all kind of schematics that they will surely love.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.screenomania.com/cities-of-earth-download.html">Cities of Earth</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cities_of_earth-500x312.jpg" alt="cities of earth" title="cities of earth" width="500" height="312" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8751" /></p>
<p>Geography seems to be another favorite topic among nerds. The Cities of Earth screensaver displays a wonderful rotating real time image of earth. It highlights cities on the planet and provides basic information such as names and the population count.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For mobile phone owners, finding good applications to use can be tiresome. Firstly, you have to ensure that the software is compatible with your particular phone model. In addition, if the application you want is a paid one, you need to scout around to find a suitable freeware alternative.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phoload.com/" target="_blank">Phoload</a> makes your search for quality mobile phone applications much easier. In the site’s own words, they are “a community website based on the idea that it should be simple, easy, and fun to discover and download free mobile phone games and applications”.</p>
<p>Downloading any application from Phoload is quite simple. You have an option to select your phone and then view the applications available for it. Alternatively, you can browse through application categories and select the one that appeals to you. Each application is labeled as to whether it’s free, a trial version, ad-supported, etc. While downloading an application, you can either download it to your phone directly or save it to your computer.</p>
<p><span id="more-8663"></span></p>
<p>Downloading apps isn’t the only thing you can do at Phoload. You can choose to rate and review different applications and thus help out the community. Phoload is also a good place for developers looking for a platform to release their phone applications.</p>
<p>Phoload is still a young site but it is already proving to be a decent resource for mobile phone apps. New software is regularly added to the site. Also, the site’s grouping of applications makes it easy to find what you are looking for.</p>
<p>What do you think of Phoload? Is it worthwhile using the site to find applications for your phone? Let me know in the coments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across the coolest looking datacenter today, and probably the coolest looking place, bar none, ever built (thanks to Royal Pingdom). It was built by one of Sweedens largest ISP&#8217;s as a new high profile datacenter, and yes, it&#8217;s under ground, made to look like Dr. Evil&#8217;s mountain of extreme doom, with fog machines and all inside the workplace!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever seen something you&#8217;ve really wanted in your cubicle I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find it here. The workplace looks like a paintball arena, there are weird waterfall things, colors, lights, and of course it&#8217;s in a cavern. I always thought Google was the best place to work, now I&#8217;m having second thoughts!</p>
<p>The place has backup power from two submarine engines, a &#8220;small&#8221; 1.5 megawatts of energy are used on cooling the servers, and there is just so much coolness to this I can&#8217;t begin to explain. Oh, by the way, you could supposedly hurl a hydrogen bomn very near the place and it would withstand the effects! Now that&#8217;s a safe datacenter! Take a look at <a href="http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/11/14/the-worlds-most-super-designed-data-center-fit-for-a-james-bond-villain/" target="_blank">Royal Pingdom</a> for some pics and an interview the CEO of the company who built the place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have you turned on the TV and thought ‘Hey, I can create better shows than what&#8217;s on&#8217;? If you&#8217;re one of those people with a penchant for creating your own videos, you now have a place to show them off. You can use <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/" target="_blank">UStream</a>.</p>
<p>Ustream is a live interactive video broadcast platform that enables virtually anyone with a camera and an Internet connection to create their own video and broadcast it to a global audience. Ustream is both quick and easy to setup and use. The site claims that creating a channel takes as little as two minutes.</p>
<p><span id="more-8015"></span></p>
<p>Ustream&#8217;s interactive broadcast functionality has a one-to-many capability, allowing the broadcaster to interact with viewers as well as viewers to interact with each other. If you want to broadcast your own show, you do have to be a registered user but this is no different from having to register to upload YouTube videos.</p>
<p>Ustream has already gained a lot of popularity thanks in part to having being used by virtually every candidate in the U.S. Presidential elections. Other prominent broadcasters listed are celebs like Miley Cyrus, cast members of ‘Friends&#8217;, and Johnny Knoxville. Ustream has also been used to broadcast events like this year&#8217;s SXSW and the UN climate change summit at Bali.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really see many disadvantages of UStream&#8217;s service except for the obvious one of needing a reasonably fast Internet connection. I also wonder if it&#8217;s possible to prerecord a show and broadcast it at a specified time.</p>
<p>What do you think of Ustream? Have you used this or another similar service before? What do you think of individuals broadcasting their own content? Let me know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After switching from a Samsung 19&#8243; lcd monitor to an HP 24&#8243; monitor I had to start searching for high definition wallpaper websites that would support a monitor resolution of 1920&#215;1200. One good side effect of high resolution wallpapers is that they are also suitable for lower resolution monitors by simply resizing them to the monitor resolution.</p>
<p>The Internet literally contains thousands of wallpaper sites, most of them crappy and ad infested. The following sites have only a few ads &#8211; if any &#8211; and provide a good selection of at least a few hundreds high definition wallpapers. </p>
<p>Most websites in the list offer multiple resolutions and should provide wallpapers for barely any monitor resolutions. If you know of a great website that should be in the list let everyone know in the comments.</p>
<p><span id="more-7471"></span><a href="http://www.coolhdwallpapers.com/1920x1200-wide-wallpapers-r">Cool HD Wallpapers</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/cool_hd_wallpapers-500x416.jpg" alt="cool hd wallpapers" title="cool hd wallpapers" width="500" height="416" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7478" /></p>
<p>Categorizes wallpapers by size and provides multiple sizes for all wallpapers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.deskcity.com/">Deskcity</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/deskcity-500x408.jpg" alt="deskcity" title="deskcity" width="500" height="408" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7485" /></p>
<p>The only foreign (that is non English) site of this list. Offers many high definition wallpapers with many unusual sizes such as 1600&#215;3200.</p>
<p><a href="http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/widescreen/">Deviant Art HDTV / Widescreen</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/deviantart_wallpapers-500x275.jpg" alt="deviantart wallpapers" title="deviantart wallpapers" width="500" height="275" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7482" /></p>
<p>Offers probably the largest selection of hdtv and widescreen wallpapers powered by the sheer size of the Deviant art user base.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/wallpapers/pool/">Flickr</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/flickr_wallpapers-500x323.jpg" alt="flickr wallpapers" title="flickr wallpapers" width="500" height="323" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7474" /></p>
<p>The Flickr Wallpaper pool contains thousands of wallpaper images with a minimum size of 1024&#215;768 but most higher than that. The choice is great but the wallpapers lack information on the preview pages. One needs to click through individual wallpapers to check the supported screen resolutions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hddesktopwallpapers.com/">HD Desktop Wallpapers</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hd_desktop_wallpapers-500x369.jpg" alt="hd desktop wallpapers" title="hd desktop wallpapers" width="500" height="369" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7477" /></p>
<p>The majority of the content of hd desktop wallpapers are celebrity wallpapers who make up more than 80% of all wallpapers. Wallpapers come in all possible resolutions and it is quite hard to find HD wallpapers on the site. Seems a bit deserted as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hdwallpapers.net/">HD Wallpapers</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hd_wallpapers-500x339.jpg" alt="hd wallpapers" title="hd wallpapers" width="500" height="339" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7475" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://taggalaxy.de/">Tag Galaxy</a> is one of the Flickr Tools that visualizes Flickr image browsing utilizing tags and planetary constellations to show their related tags. A search for night for instance displays the related tags light, sky, dark and city rotating around the central tag. The interesting aspect of this display is that a click on any other tag other than the main tag will combine the old tag with the new tag to include only pictures that have been tagged with all tags.</p>
<p>Clicking on the central &#8220;star&#8221; will close in on that star and fill it with exactly 235 picture thumbnails. The planet can be rotated with the left mouse button and zoomed with the mouse wheel. A click on a preview image will load that image in front, another click will load information about the picture like the name of the artist, a description and a link to the Flickr page.</p>
<p>The Flickr page of the selected photo are loaded in a new tab. The user can use the navigation on top of the screen to load another batch of thumbnail pictures from Flickr which replace the old photos shown on the planet.</p>

<p>Tag Galaxy provides an intuitive way to browse for photos on Flickr. It does require a good chunk of system resources though to function properly. Computer memory usage went up between 250K and 400K when using the service.</p>
