Google goggles
I just ran through that video explaining the principles of Google’s “visual search app” called Google goggles to be run on their own Android phone Operating System. The video sums it up pretty well: through it’s camera, Google goggles transforms your smart phone into a hand-held Optical Character Recognition device. But more than just a simple OCR, [...]
AVATAR 3D
Before going to see AVATAR (in 3D), I didn’t hear nor watch anything about it. All I knew is that this movie was in 3D and directed by James Cameron. That’s all I needed to know. I haven’t watched any 3D content since a couple of years ago in Disney World®, Florida and before that, [...]

Skimmer is a brilliant free desktop application (Mac and PC) from a company called Fallon, that allows you to view on a single page, feeds from your online social services (Twitter, Facebook, Flikr, YouTube and Blogger) within a gorgeous design. Skimmer runs on Adobe Air, right from your desktop. Can be viewed in a normal window, [...]
Telmex ISP
I’m glad we chose Telmex as our Internet Service Provider. We weren’t sure which one to choose since there are many offers here in Colombia, as there are everywhere. What made me choose Telmex over the competition is that they were the only one to propose speeds that fast (as fast as 8Megs). It’s not as [...]
Google Chrome WTF?!?
After litterally waiting for years, Google finally launches a Beta version of Chrome for Mac. Hurray! As a web-designer, I’m always interested in new browsers and I’ve been using the Windows‘ version of Google Chrome for a while back in my office time in London. After waiting all this time, I must admit I lost [...]
Google Wave invitations
As a Google Wave preview user, Google Wave gave me a bunch of invitations to send, end of October. They gave me 6 more a couple of days ago. I sent some to my friends but most people haven’t even heard of it or just aren’t interested. So, if you are interested and would like [...]
PS3 / Facebook integration
I noticed with the latest Playstation®3 firmware update (3.10) a few days ago, that there was a Facebook logo in the Account Management menu. I went straight to it, to see what the h*ll that Facebook icon is doing here, in my PS3 interface. It says it’s supposed to link your PlayStation account to your Facebook account to [...]
SAMSUNG LCD Firmware update
I own a SAMSUNG Series 6, 40″ LCD HDTV screen (LN40B650T1F) and for some reason the other day, I had the idea of checking out on SAMSUNG‘s support page if there’s any updated firmware. I downloaded the latest firmware and upgraded from firmware ver.1007 to ver.1012. The result is amazing! They must have updated the DivX [...]
New PlayStation®3
Did you have a look at the new Playstation®3? I must say I’m a bit relieved because although my PS3 suddenly grew old, looking at the Tech specs, we can see it’s nothing more than a new shell design. Well not only because, from what I could read on the net, apart from an obvious [...]
