TOP 5 VIDEO CALLING MESSENGERS INSTEAD OF SKYPE.

There are plenty of reasons to make use of Skype. Free multi-user audio calls between PCs, video chat with fast and straightforward connectivity, and (if you are willing to pay) multi-user video chat and PC-to-phone audio calls. Of work, there's also a few reasons why you might not require to make use of Skype. Aside from its recent acquisition by Microsoft (possibly you have got something against the huge M who knows?), there is the fact that its chat service occasionally borks out for no apparent reason, the fact that it charges users for a service that others provide free, and the fact that its support is, if word of mouth is to be believed,...

AUDIO SHARING WITH PICOSONG

In the realm of photo-sharing, we have got it made. There is Imgur, Minus and others than permit stupidly simple drag-and-drop-with-no-account-required to upload and share. I had mentioned SoundCloud recently, and that's a nice audio-sharing site. Truly. My thought was, "Well, it can't get any simpler than this, right?" This is what you will see when you load picosong.com: There is that's even simpler, and it is called the "picosong". Choose a file, upload, get your share-out link, and it is a done deal. Those you send the link to will be able to load up the audio file and play it all inside the browser. No bulky downloads necessa...

USING WATERFOX?

People see "64" in lieu of "32" and think that because the number is doubled, the app must be better. Most of the time this is not true. Just because an app is 64-bit does not magically make it better In a browser application, 64-bit at this point has not proven to be any better than the 32-bit flavors. You can benchmark-benchmark-benchmark all day and spout out numbers-numbers-numbers, but the fact of the matter is that in practical use, you will notice tiny to no difference in performance compared to a 32-bit browser. Now if we are speaking about, say, a video editing suite that requires gobs and gobs of memory to crunch and render video...

APPLE'S NEW GENERATION IBOOKS+TEXTBOOKS

Steve Jobs vision of the future has one time again fomented revolution in the media industry, this time in the type of a brand spanking new education-oriented iBooks package that Apple announced today at an event in New York City. Looking to take the textbook industry head-on, Cupertino has created a set of apps that will lead to the extinction of the physical textbook & replace it with electronic media while simultaneously increasing the market penetration of its iPad tool. Apple's aim is to get schools to buy an iPad to give to every student, a aim that after the announcement today could very well become a reality. impressively, Apple also...

MAGICAL PORTABLE FUEL BATTERIES

Transportable fuel cells have been billed as the final solution for several years now. Regrettably, early pioneers like Jadoo have had trouble achieving the little size & low cost needed to make their products ubiquitous. reason is that most current fuel cell products depend on hydrogen storage, often in refillable canisters. Direct hydrogen storage adds complexity & isn't practical for little units or truly remote applications. Batteries & chargers are the bane of a high-tech lifestyle. For each new tool there is usually a new size battery, a new charger, & a new set of concerns about battery life. & then comes the quest...

FreeDOS 1.1 IS BACK NOW!

The history of FreeDOS stems back to the summer of 1994 when Microsoft announced that MS-DOS as a separate product would no longer be supported. It would live on as part of Windows 95, 98, and (ugh!) Me, but for Jim Hall that wasn't , and so public domain (PD) DOS was born. Other developers quickly jumped on board, a kernel and utilities were made, as well as a usable version of PD-DOS began to emerge. It wouldn't be until 1998 that the first alpha build (version 0.05) was released, however; a slow trend that would continue, with a slew of betas culminating in a final one.0 build in 2006, some 12 years after the project begun. Finally, it would...

2012 3D TV REVIEW

CES 2011 was billed as the year of 3D, but this year's show also had dozens of offerings, lots of of which sound similar on paper. Here, ExtremeTech checks out the most fascinating prospects for no-glasses 3D in 2012 & beyond. Stream TV's Ultra-D: Wide-viewing-angle 3D without glasses After the rush to upgrade to HDTV, 3D was supposed to be the next giant thing. Propelled by the enthusiasm for a few well-crafted media properties like the blockbuster film Avatar, preliminary expectations were set high. But cost, a lack of compelling content, potential health issues, & the necessity for annoying & pricey glasses have kept 3D TV from...
