Testing Facebook Video Embed
Facebook recently upgraded their video feature to higher resolution video, and the option to embed videos on other sites. So far you can only embed your own. Here’s a recent video I recorded with a Flip Video Ultra at 640×480. The original embed was 576×432 but I’ve resized it to 500×375 to fit this blog.

Gesture-Based Computer Control
Here’s a couple sweet videos showing the capabilities of gesture based computer controls. I think your arms would eventually get tired but it’s still an amazing concept.

Aptera’s Typ-1
Mere Earthlings will likely do some serious rubbernecking when the Aptera Typ-1 three-wheeled vehicle hits the road, perhaps as early as this year. The vehicle, shown here, is officially classified as a motorcycle and looks more like something out of “The Jetsons” than Detroit. The California-built machine will come in all-electric and hybrid flavors, the latter getting more than 300 miles per gallon of gas. Top speed exceeds 85 mph, and the vehicle goes from 0 to 60 in under 10 seconds, the company says. About four hours plugged into a standard socket recharges a drained battery.

Blue Screen of Death at Olympics
This is really funny. I was wondering how they were projecting all the way around the stadium at the Bird’s Nest at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I was guessing it was one huge computer or a network of computers working together. Well, now there’s more details. It seems they were using Windows :) Here’s some proof… pictures of the blue screen of death during the opening ceremonies.

Laptop For Sale
I’ve had this laptop since it was brand new. I paid around $3,000 for it at CompUSA. It’s having some power issues and I don’t want to deal with it. I switching to Apple. I haven’t tried a new battery yet. I’ve upgraded the ram to 1.5 GB. I also had a free upgrade to Vista Home Premium but didn’t use it. The Product keycode is on a sticker on the bottom. There is also a product key code for XP Media Center Edition.

MacBook Touch
Ok, so I love the iPhone, but I think I know what I would love more. The MacBook Touch. This is of course all rumors right now, but if it has a gesture library, full Mac OS X, haptic keyboard, slot-loading SuperDrive, Accelerometer, GPS and more I’m in! You know what would be even better, blue tooth connection to my iPhone on the 3G network! Ok, so I’m dreaming, but please Apple, please deliver!
