Microsoft Photosynth-get 3D pictures
September 23, 2008
You go on a vacation and get several 2d pictures of the same location. This is enough for Microsoft’s 3d imaging software to give you a 3D picture of your location.
To get started, download the plugin from Microsoft Live website. The process is quite simple. It goes like this….
Photosynth recognizes common areas in the picture and stitches them all together to give a holistic 3-D view.
But be warned, to make a good synth you need at least 20 photos.
After the software synths the pictures, you can zoom in, turn it aound , angular, etc to get a real 3d view of the picture.
But the software is of no use if the pictures are visually unconnected.

Most people have problems with the hard disk space,that as the data in your hard disk gets filled up and the more hesitant you are delete or backup those files, it could be a worst nightmare. But have you ever wonder about the duplication of files in your PC, that is the same file placed at multiple locations of your hard disk knowningly or unknowingly. These duplicated files too consume the hard disk share and hence its always better to clear them off. But looking for the duplicated file in 300GB hard disk could take a day and thats were the following apps comes to help.
HCC comes in 2 version free and premium. The free version is more than enough to do the job but of course premium one provides additional features such as checking for duplicates in multiple drives and the ability to exclude subfolders from checking for duplicates. The only downside is it keeps asking me to upgrade to PRO version.
Duplicate File Finder is a simple, but effective tool to locate duplicate files in one or more selected search paths. It scans the files and compares them based on Byte for Byte Comparison, which ensures 100% accuracy. You can then choose to delete the selected duplicate or original files.

LockCrypt can easily organize your personal accounts, passwords, telephone numbers, credit card details etc. LockCrypt offers a great deal of security for your data and has a variety of features and those are the following.
Central Database
LockCrypt provides a central database to hold details of your website passwords, telephone numbers, credit card details, and other kind of difficult to remember information. People often write down this information and leave it where anyone can see. With LockCrypt, your data is only visible after you’ve entered a password.
Strong Encryption
LockCrypt uses cipher block chaining and AES encryption to secure your data. This method is regarded as very secure by the cryptography industry. Whatever details you enter are for your eyes only, no one will be able to see them without first entering your password.
Multiple Languages
LockCrypt is available in different languages, including English, German, Italian, Spanish and Czech. These were provided by native speakers to make LockCrypt fit in seemlessly around other programs.

You’ll still need a password to access your data, so it will remain safe even if your device is lost or stolen.
Secure Clipboard
If you copy a field to the clipboard from LockCrypt, there’s an option to erase it after a set amount of time. This is useful because if you move away from the keyboard, anyone would be free to paste your clipboard and see your password.

Print output
LockCrypt can print your account list enabling you to make a hard copy.
LifeviNe: Track Your Life!
August 30, 2008
Nokia and other mobile handset manufactures are striving hard to get on with iPhone3G with a huge set of features and facilities that the iPhone had not provided. Nokia Beta Labs is up with a software LifeviNe and will be soon laucnhed which will get your tracked as you moved along in life. You can also access the pictures, music and video of wherever you’ve been, either on a map or a time line. After you install it you will need to run lifeviNe widget on your device and it’ll pinpoint every image, video and music to a location. You can also put in the videos and share with others.
According to Nokia Conversation, The new app is based on Sports Tracker, which has been a huge hit since it launched out of Beta Labs last year. Although they share the same base architecture, the two apps look and feel completely different. Once running, you can use your device as you normally would, or keep an eye on your activity using the lifeviNe app.
As well as tagging all your media’s locations the app will also track where you’ve been (so you need to be careful when you have it switched on!), and plot your journey on the web based map when you sync it at the end of the day. Uploading is a cinch too, as lifeviNe can be set to automatically upload whenever you’re in a trusted wireless zone.
Online you can look at and share your journeys, filtering by user, place or time. There’s also an online widget which you can place on your blog or Facebook page, allowing others to see what you’ve been up to.
We’re told we should see lifeviNe in Beta form within a few weeks, and I personally can’t wait to try it out. Fusing the web and your device like this is a pretty cool concept and from what we’ve seen this app looks stunning, and pretty easy to use.
