Putting this up for my bro, I know he has a short-fuse temper...
Plus my son is laughing at it and wants the app for his iTouch.



 

FREE Muziic site turns Youtube into an Itunes...

| Posted in | Posted on 12/29/2009

I'm loving this Muziic site. Anything that helps me get, manage and sort thru thousands of music, videos, and artist catalogues  I like and for FREE gets *two thumbs up* from me.

Quote from Wired.com:
Major record labels have been hoping that music videos will become the best way to make free music pay, for the simple reason that is easier to advertise to people watching videos than to those just listening. Those plans could spring a leak, thanks to a new site called Muziic. It gives fans access to millions of free songs on YouTube and the label-backed Vevo video service, without them having to see any pesky embedded ads. The service also bypasses labels’ annoying country-by-country restrictions that ignore the fact that the internet is global.


“Our integration of Vevo content reflects how many (myself included) felt Vevo.com should have been,” said 16-year-old Muziic co-founder and CTO David Nelson by e-mail. “Examining user feedback for Vevo on Twitter and in the blogosphere was a big factor in its design.”


Indeed, some music fans will prefer Muziic’s slick interface to Vevo and YouTube, but the company’s promise to deliver this music worldwide “without obtrusive video advertisements” could prove more alluring.

Turn Left - Yeah just like that! Oweee!! (Snoop on Tom-Tom)

Snoop is  marketing genius. I don't know how he gets these deals but here he goes again. He sold his voice to Tom-Tom the GPS company. Now you can have Snoop Dog give you directions..

I think its funny that a gang-banger from the hood is giving you directions so you won't get lost and end up in a unfamiliar hood, but whatever. I don't use these gadgets but if you have a Tom-Tom download Snoop and take him for a spin.




(BTW Snoop, we know that your daughter aint yours homie, Go on Maury and get that worked out!)




Craigslist "Escorts", D-Bois, Hustlers and Sneakerheads rejoice...

Ever wanted to get paid for your services. Like example, on Menace 2 Society, when that crackhead offered homie 2 cheeseburgers and went on to offer the unimaginable and he ended up dead. Or when I'm trying to sell a pair of sneakers or some vixen on Craiglist is asking for 100 roses...


You know when you need that paper, but no paper is around (Paper = Cash Money). The inventor of Twitter has created a way to get paid easily. Everyone and their mama has a cell phone right? So they created a "New Mobile Payment System"


Quote - "Square will give anybody the ability to accept payment cards without having to go through a costly credit card processing service. Instead, Square will give its users the ability to use their mobile phones, laptops or desktop computers to accept payment cards and swipe them with the help of a small dongle that will plug into the computer's or phone's audio jack."


You heard that? Street corner dudes gon' be accepting Visa over their tracphones now. They need an episode 6 of The Wire for this shit.


Quote - "According to the information on Square's website, users won't have to sign any contracts and there won't be any monthly fees or hidden costs. Square is currently only working with a select group of companies but plans to expand widely in 2010. In its current iteration, Square works on the iPhone and iPod touch. It's not clear how much the dongle will cost, but chances are that it will be cheap....







....Thanks to Square, every stand at a local farmers' market and every small coffee cart or hot dog vendor on the street will soon be able to accept credit cards without having to go through one of the major credit card processing services."


Farmers market my ass! You know this gonna be big.... Seems Twitter owners found how to make some money this time around.


3D Video on Skype / Tinychat / Ustream, with cheap webcams!

Some geeks figured out a way to create 3D for online video chat rooms, or voip conversations with webcams. This is awesome to me, but I have that inner geek in me... Could also imagine some of the chicks in tinychat or people that do ustream videos, integrating this into their stuff, which would be cool.




via Wired.com - "The best hacks are often the simplest. FourEyes3D is one of these, and it takes a pair of standard webcams and uses them to make a stereo video, letting you beam your ugly mug in three glorious dimensions to anyone who can be convinced to watch.


Hook up the cams and the software (Mac-only) combines the two feeds into one stereoscopic image. The trickiest part is the actual positioning of the cameras, as the developer tells us: “The finicky part is mounting your matched pair of generic USB webcams 90 millimeters apart (the same distance apart as your own eyes).”


Best of all, you don’t need any fancy displays to view the 3D video. All you need is to send mom a pair of red/cyan specs and she can peek at your z-axis over your next iChat video call. This is because the stereo images from the cameras are converted to the old 1950s-style, headache-inducing anaglyph method I think this would be a lot of fun, especially on my weekly family Skype calls. Just whether it would be $30 worth of fun is another matter, but there is a demo available."

This if for all my Flawda and Bahamas peoples (or anyone that live in HOT climate really)

Dyson (known for there high-end vacuum cleaners) creates a new, futuristic styling fan. I'm sure everyone knows or has heard of someone that hurt their hand on a fan blade (whats up Woody!). Watch this, then imagine a slim one hanging as a ceiling fan "I love it". Even more awesome if they can mount lights in the ring. That would be some futuristic bedroom lighting... sends my requests to Dyson. Expects my royalty checks soon.



“There’s a motor in the bottom that powers a turbo-charged impeller,” Dyson told Kalik, when asked to explain how his latest creation works. “It’s essentially a 3-D fan that gives a good combination of flow and pressure.” According to James Dyson, the air this powerful little fan creates is pushed up into that round thing at the top — also known as the ‘loop amplifier’ — which splits the flow in two and pushes it through the loop and out a 1.3 millimeter (about .05 inches) slit, or annulus, all along the back. This process creates a jet stream that sucks in air from the back and sides, creating a very powerful and smooth flow of air to cool kids, dogs and rooms alike, with no danger of injury.”

Cool site to mess with when under the influence...

Trippy hippy, retro and futuristic. Just like the old can thing we had as a kid... but futuristic like in the most farout movies.

Give this a whirl. EYECANDY




Headphones can make life better.

When at work (or home) and you want to drown out the noise. Or to really appreciate music, without spending a bunch of money on a home theatre system or a high end bumping soundsytem for your car. The best choice is good headphones.

I'm looking at getting these soon. I love the look, and in white it will match the apple products I currently use. The audio quality is superb so I've read in reviews.

I'm speaking of the new Siberia v2 headphones. It offers gamers and music enthusiasts superior speaker and microphone technology that delivers insane sound quality, integrated control capabilities, and updated design for killer comfort and increased passive noise reduction. As an upgrade to the original Siberia, the v2 has a retractable microphone system that pulls out from the left ear-cup, allowing for a more convenient and portable headset great for gaming and tunes on the go or for video blogging on sites like Ustream.

Along with the new thicker leather ear-cups for sound isolation, the Siberia v2 is still lightweight while its trademark headband suspension construction makes it extremely comfortable for all day (and night) gaming or music listening. The volume regulator, the cord and its base have also been upgraded. The primary cord is shorter for use with portable gear and comes with an extension cable in case you want to plug in to a desktop.

SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset will be available all over the world in November 2009. Pricing will be announced at that time as well.
