Video of the week.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you could spice up your early morning wake up calls and make them more interesting, you’ve probably considered one of the crazy alternative alarm clocks you see around nowadays. Things like alarm clocks that run away from you, that go off with a bang, or – my personal vindictive favorite – ones that make you do a complex puzzle to switch off the sound.
So you’re surfing the net, and you find a great video that you want to save. Sure, you could bookmark the link, but what it it gets taken down, or the uploader decides to make it private? Well, then you’re stuck searching around for another copy somewhere else. Your other option is to just download it to your hard drive, where you’ll always have it. Few sites make it easy to do, which is why you need special software to…
We managed to grab a couple of hours face-time with Sriram Peruvemba, chief marketing officer of E Ink Holdings, the other day and ran through a couple of the new products percolating out on sale using the ubiquitous E Ink display technology. The last time we met he showed us some prototype stuff which was very interesting, and this occasion was just as exciting, since we got an exclusive first look at the brand new, hot off the shelf Plastic…
Video drop test of iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S2. Surprising results!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw Tags: drop+test, iphone+4s, samsung+galaxy+s2, gadgets, youtube
Fresh from the glory of their BBC scoop yesterday, the good folk at T3 have just posted a comparison piece looking at the iPhone 4S vs the Samsung Galaxy S2 superphone. They rather politically avoid giving a verdict on which is best, but we all know the truth, don’t we Android Fanboiz? Check out the video here. After the antennagate issues with the iPhone 4, Apple has rung the build changes for the iPhone 4S. While it’s the same form factor…
Continuing our foray into low-price Android tablets, Chinavasion have sent me on a journey to the other end of the scale with their BrillianTab, a 7″ tablet running Android 2.3. This is a serious step up in tablets as it’s powered by a 1.2GHz, dual-core A8 processor with 512MB of RAM and boy does it make a difference! This tablet is seriously, seriously good for such a low price point. Click through for all the info and make sure to…
I bet you wish your school was as cool as this one? The headmaster and staff at Bell Baxter High School in Scotland give a special flashmob dance to celebrate end of year for the Class of 2011. Priceless! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aQkDZwpV_U <via BBC Report> Tags: flashmob, video, dance, bell+baxter+high+school
Movie411 is a freeware program which lets you grab movie information and cover art for your digital movie files.

Now all you have to do is enter in the movie title, and the program will search online databases and download all the info you need, ready to save in super handy text and images files. It’s…
This HC Bluetooth Camera looks like a normal Bluetooth headset and is worn over the ear like one and yet…impossible to believe…it’s a full colour video and audio capturing camera. Yep, a camcorder on your ear. What’s that you say, grandma? It’s got 4 GB of internal memory and a rechargeable battery, records VGA video and connects to your computer via USB. Sleazy, eh? No idea on price though. Our latest hidden camera blends in perfectly with todays on the go technology….
Making a video and putting it onto Youtube doesn’t require a lot of effort these days. A lot of video editing software now has the functionality to directly export your work directly to the video sharing site. However, if you don’t have access to a video camera, it can be rather hard to make something Youtube-worthy. That’s why the company has teamed up with Xtranormal, Stupeflix and GoAnimate to make video creation a little easier. While you could have used…
This Oceanographer’s Video Camera is apparently the bee’s knees, or shark’s sideburns or something. The working bits are encased in super tough ABS and aluminium and it’s rated to keep shooting down to 300 feet of briny ocean. You can grab six hours of footage per session, as well as still shots, all in super high definition, and we’re figuring those lights will have you mistaken for a denizen of the deep in no time at all. Priced at an oxygen depriving…
goVideos is a really simple idea, which actually works. This freeware program provides nothing more than a super easy front end for YouTube videos, which lets you browse and instantly watch content in various categories with one click of the mouse. It sounds weird and a bit useless, but actually it works. Think of it as an instant meme watcher if nothing else, since the Most Viewed set gives you a global snapshot of all the top playing videos on YouTube at…
Who the heck is this Juliette Valduriez person? And how can she play rock guitar like that? And why isn’t she fronting her own band? And what is the meaning of life…? Unbe-chuffin’–lievable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv066NyKq9k Tags: juliette+valduriez, guitar, video, music
Website builders don’t get any easier than Pen.io. Just select a page name, add a password so you can edit more than once at a later date, and you’re set. The pages are minimal to the extreme, no colours, no images, just text and embedded YouTube video options. You can create multiple pages though, so it’s perfect for publishing your online novel, or linking to a favourite video or anything in between. Fancy putting your resume online in 60 seconds? You…
If you have the desire to stream a movie to your computer, you have plenty of options. Netflix and Hulu come to mind, along with half a dozen others. Of course there is a new kid on the block hoping to deliver video to your computer. Strangely enough, that kid is Facebook. I’m really not sure why on earth Facebook needs to stream movies. After all, the videos and music on people’s pages is what drove me away from Mypace….
