Samung Airs Another Galaxy S II Ad, This Time About Dual-Core





We know the Samsung Galaxy S II is a great and fast device. As a matter of fact, it's THE Android smartphone of the moment getting a full 5 out of 5 in our review which makes it the best Google-powered smartphone money can buy at the moment.



Samsung is continuing to maintain and build the momentum by outing yet another Samsung Galaxy S II ad. This time it is all about dual-core processing and how two channels can be faster than a single channel, nothing really new and groundbreaking here. But they have to keep it up in order to break that Galaxy S world record with the follow-up device. Check it out below:

Song “Covers” Uploaded to YouTube Could Land You in Jail For Five Years


httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82VtBxeJH3I



Beyonce lip-synching videos are in danger, people! Along with CathyMay15 s Boom Boom Boom and any other YouTube videos that could be contravening the law. If passed, US Senate bill 978 will make the internet a lot less fun.



It's obviously not the first time YouTube has come under fire for housing videos that flout copyright laws, but everyone's getting a little twitchy about this bill. Currently, it's only against the law to upload or reproduce (make a copy of) something copyrighted, like a TV show or a song, but if Congress amends the rulebook and includes performances, YouTube will have a lot of work on its hands, deleting contravening videos.



Website TruthOrTreason points out that the proposed bill also suggests punishment for those who distribute copyrighted performances. So if I were to post a video of CathyMay15 in this post, and more than 10 people view it, I personally could face five years in jail. Whoops.

It's Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and to celebrate it, here's a very fine video, "Get Clarity," from Aish.com. It is a cover of Daft Punk's hugely popular summer hit song, "Get Lucky," but with new lyrics and a shofar.



Enjoy, and Shana Tova:

Google takes on Facebook with the Google+ project

New social network announced by search giant





Google has just announced its new social networking platform, the Google+ project - its most blatant attempt at Facebook's throne to date.



Google+ is live now, as an invitation only "Field Trial", and the blog post announcing its arrival isn't shy in stating why this could be your social network of choice (without mentioning the F-word at all, you understand):



"The problem is that today's online services turn friendship into fast food - rapping everyone in 'friend' paper and sharing really suffers," it reads.



"It's sloppy. We only want to connect with certain people at certain times, but online we hear from everyone all the time.



"It's scary. Every online conversation (with over 100 'friends') is a public performance, so we often share less because of stage fright.



"It's insensitive. We all define 'friend' and 'family' differently - in our own way, on our own terms - but we lose this nuance online."



Ouch. Take that Zuck.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwnJ5Bl4kLI





Google+ puts you in control of groups, called Circles, so as you can always control who sees what content that you put online.



httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeMZP-oyOII



The Big G is also aware that you may be boring you social networking pals by talking about subjects that do not really interest them. To solve this, it has created Sparks within Google+, where you can create groups of people and sections for specific interests.



httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRkAdTflltc



Hangouts looks like being the Google Skype killer that we'd heard rumoured. It allows you to join in a video chat with a group of your friends (no limit is stated - but the demo video shows a maximum of six people in one conference) all within the browser.



httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tku1vJeuzH4



Google+ doesn't forget Android either, there's location tagging and instant uploading of your pics on hand - as well as a group chat platform called Huddle.



In fact, the Google+ app is already in the Android Market - with a promise that it'll be App Store bound soon too.



httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA22daAstNg



As we said, it's invite only at the moment - although if your Gmail user, be on the lookout for one.



"Online sharing needs a serious re-think, so it's time we got started. There's just one more thing -really the only thing: You." the blog post reads.



"When your invite arrives we hope you'll join the project. But it's entirely up to +You."



You can ask Google to keep you updated on the invite front over at plus.google.com, or even take a tour of the platform's features. You'll need a Google ID mind.



We'd love to be a fly on the wall at Facebook HQ right now.....





Google+ or Google nonplussed? Let us know using the comments below.

Google Videos Application for Android Coming Soon?





Google announced its movie service at GoogleIO where the company and its service would allow for rentals through the Android Market. El Goog also promised device support and it appears that a Google Videos application has surfaced on the Android Market just to be quickly yanked.



The application was available for a short time in the Android Market but those who were lucky enough to grab it report that "it doesn't work on phones yet". While its appearance in the Market is a pretty solid indication of things to come there is no certain information about an availability date. Check out the video of the app in action below:

Windows Phone 7 Mango Shown Off on HTC HD2 (Video)





We know that Windows Phone 7 Mango has been hacked over to the evergreen HTC HD2 and we even hope to see a public release sometime soon (probably even today) but until then there are a couple of videos to get you through the waiting.



Yes, Windows Phone 7 Mango is working on the HD2 even if there are currently some things that do not, like the Marketplace, search or HTML 5 rendering in Internet Explorer. Other than that, just take a look at the two demo videos below to see how the beloved Leo is handling Redmond's upcoming greatest:

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo unboxing video


httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ExT8QuBKM



The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo gives you great photos every time thanks to its high-quality 8.1-megapixel camera. And when you want to talk face to face in a video call, there's a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The main camera lets you take advantage of face recognition, so everyone in the picture is in focus. There's also Exmor R technology, which is great for photos in even the lowest light. You won't find these features on the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY.

HP Touchpad and Touchstone dock: first video look


After returning from a Vegas vacation, I found one last jackpot on my doorstep: An HP Touchpad and Touchstone wireless charging dock. Both are review units sent from HP, and the devices went on sale last week. This model is the 32 GB unit, which costs $599, while the optional Touchstone dock is an additional $79. In this video overview of the hardware, you can see similarities to Apple's iPad; although the Touchpad is thicker and weighs slightly more, it uses the same 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display as Apple's tablet.





When it comes to software, you might be reminded of Android tablets and the BlackBerry Playbook. But webOS stands on its own as well. The multi-pane email view is useful and I really like the Flipboard-like layout available in the Facebook application. Consumers interested in the Touchpad will have to make a software decision however: How long can they wait for a wide variety of third-party apps or are there enough top-tier titles to justify the Touchpad?

VIDEO: Google+ Don’t fight it

It will get you in the end


httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC_M6PzXS9g



The Google+ revolution is inevitable. Don't try and fight it.



That's the message from the chaps at Epipheo Studios, the self-described "Crack Commando A-Team of the marketing world" who have come up with this (cheekily Google-styled) video about the new social network.



It weighs up the pros and cons of both Facebook and Google+ before the Social Media Guru prophesies a future dominated by the Big G's platform.



"You don't need to choose Google+," he says. "Sooner or later, you're going to end up using it."



And you know what, it's hard to argue with him.





Google+ or Facebook? What do you think

Taking a Cue From "House of Cards," Machinima Releases Its Next "Mortal Kombat" Series All at Once on YouTube


scorpion


If you're a gamer or a big YouTube video-viewer, you might have heard of "Mortal Kombat: Legacy," an online video series that aims to add modern story sensibilities to the classic fighting game.



The first season of the series was doled out in nine discrete episodes between April and July 2011. For the second season, the show's online distributor, Machinima, is today publishing the show in one go, a la Netflix, which has reported that that strategy is paying off for its original series like "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black."



Machinima CEO Allen DeBevoise said Machinima's target audience of 18-to-35-year-old men would enjoy "18 or 19 of the Top 20" shows that online viewers binge on, like "Breaking Bad," "Dexter" and "Game of Thrones."



"There's some outliers, like 'Downton Abbey,'" he said.



As online video studios wrestle with how to keep growing ad revenue on YouTube, Machinima has been looking for a "mega-round" of new investment to bolster a growing focus on original shows like "Mortal Kombat: Legacy." Just last week, however, the video network laid off 10 percent of its staff "in connection with" that growth plan.



Each of the "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" episodes is about 10 minutes long, but director Kevin Tancharoen said he'd like to see them get past the TV-drama-esque 45-minute mark in future seasons. The series started when Tancharoen, the director of films like "Fame" and "Glee 3D," released an eight-minute fan film, "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth," on YouTube:







Machinima and Warner Bros., which owns the rights to Mortal Kombat, took notice, and the first season of their resulting collaboration has racked up more than 60 million views on YouTube. While that first season was tied in with WB Interactive's game-series reboot of Mortal Kombat, the new season is about "keeping the Mortal Kombat name out there and keeping fans engaged," Tancharoen said.

To that end, Tancharoen is working on a movie based on the series, to be released theatrically in 2015 by Warner Bros., without Machinima's involvement. He said the stories of the ongoing "Legacy" series and the eventual movie will be kept separate, so that theatergoers don't have to watch dozens of YouTube videos before they buy their popcorn.



DeBevoise said Machinima does not pay Tancharoen directly. Rather, the online video company has a licensing deal with Warner Bros., which in turn pays Tancharoen. This is different from Machinima's other relationships with creatives under its brand - a partnership with Ridley Scott's production company RSA, for example, will grant ownership of the resulting short films to those directors as official partners to the video network.



Here's the trailer for the new series and the first episode. You can find the rest at the "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" YouTube channel:

Symbian Belle gets eight minutes of hands-on fame (video)





Screen grabs ain't got nuthin' on this one. Just as we savor a full set of screenshots showing off Symbian Belle in all its glory, a YouTube video of the unannounced OS strolls onto the scene with eight minutes of footage. The successor to Anna is seen here on a Nokia N8, which could be a sign that at least some existing Symbian^3 devices will receive the update when it becomes available. The video exhibits several aspects of the new UI, such as the Android-style pull-down bar for notifications, a back button-based interface, a new virtual keyboard, and a new camera UI - all of which appear to be significant improvements over the platform's predecessors. If you have a few minutes to spare, dive past the break to get the full tour.

How to Make Lots of Web Video, Really Fast: Get Rid of (Most of) the Humans


robot shutterstock:Rainer Plendl



Image copyright Rainer Plendl


Heads up, professional video makers: Robots may be coming for your jobs.



We've already seen that software can replace human beings who used to write and edit news stories. Now, Wochit, an Israeli-born startup, is trying to do the same thing with video news.



And it's quite possible that you've seen some of its work already: Wochit's stuff is running on big portals like Yahoo, and on many smaller sites, via distributors like Grab Media.



Wochit can take prewritten stories from outlets like Reuters and turn them into videos by assembling an appropriate mix of images, clips and narration. Human beings touch the video twice during production - once when a "moderator" quickly scans the clip to make sure the basic elements are in the right place, and once when someone reads the voice-over copy.



Wochit said the entire process takes an average of 10 minutes, and that lets the company make hundreds of clips a day.



The results have been getting better throughout the year. Now they're quite passable. Here's how Wochit handled a story this morning about President Obama and the Too Big to Fail banks:





No one's going to mistake this stuff for a "60 Minutes" report. But, depending on the use case, it may certainly be good enough. Wochit is aimed at Web video, where lots of people are looking for ad-friendly clips that users might also click on. But in the not-so-distant future, I can see this stuff working on conventional TV, too.



Eventually, Wochit CEO Keith McAllister said, the company wants to set up a self-service system where anyone could feed it text and get a usable video. If a brand like, um, AllThingsD wanted to add our own narration (or whatever), we could do that, too.



This is likely worrisome for some human beings who currently get paid to edit and produce news videos. But humans have been grappling with the pros and cons of automation for a long time.



And if you want to put a sunnier face on it, feel free to paraphrase my take on it when I wrote about the possibility that Narrative Science's story-writing robots might take my job: "The trick for content makers like myself is to find work that only content makers like myself can do - work where human qualities like experience, judgment and creativity get rewarded. And if we can't do that, we ought to be doing something else, anyway."



Here's a quick interview I conducted (but didn't edit) with McAllister last week:

Viral Video: Thankfully, "Boy Dance Party" Is Not About the Twitter Board


Excuse me, but this hysterical video from last week's "Saturday Night Live" is still making me laugh, even after many watches.



Perhaps it is Bruce Willis and a disco ball, maybe it's the shake sack. In any case, "Boy Dance Party" is destined to be a classic of some sort.

Amazon Cloud Drive Photos App Expands To Support Video Upload & Playback On Android

kindle_rabbit_video_player_1



Amazon Cloud Drive Photos, the photo-uploading utility that helps move photos from a mobile device into Amazon's online storage, may have to change its name. Now, the tool doesn't just support photo uploads, it supports videos, as well. Videos can be manually uploaded one by one, or users can opt to have videos auto-save from their devices directly into Amazon's cloud.



This automatic upload option was already available for photos through an update out at the beginning of the year, but videos within Cloud Drive Photos had not yet been supported, whether manually or through the auto-upload feature within the application.



Amazon says that videos are restricted to 2 GB in size or 20 minutes in length, whether they're being uploaded or downloaded from the Cloud Drive service - that's slightly longer than YouTube's default setting ahead of account verification. This is fine for the majority of users' personal videos, of activities, pets, kids or events, for example, recorded on their mobile devices.



After the files are in Amazon's cloud, the video can be played back to any device, including, of course, the Kindle Fire and other Android tablets. According to a post on Amazon's Web Services blog about the technical underpinnings to the new feature, Amazon's Elastic Transcoder service was used, which supports over 20 file formats and 40 video codecs. The team says its goal was to have videos transcoded within 15 minutes after uploading, but ended up achieving videos that are often ready within a minute or two. They also went ahead and processed all the videos stored in Amazon users' Cloud Drive libraries ahead of launch.





Though the company offers a version of its Amazon Cloud Drive Photos app on iOS devices, too, only the Android version has received the video support at this time. That makes sense because not only is the Kindle and Android-based tablet, and therefore Amazon's priority, the Android app was also the first to launch, back in November 2012.



The iOS version didn't arrive until this May, and it serves as a viable alternative to Apple's own iCloud sync and storage service, with reasonable pricing of 5 GB for free, then $10/year for 20 GB, $25/year for 50 GB and so on, all the way up to 1,000 GB for $500/year. Keep in mind that the storage goes up so high not because users need so much space for photos (and now videos, too), but because Amazon Cloud Drive is meant to serve as a competitor to Google Drive or Dropbox, with support for a variety of file types, including office documents and music, which can also be streamed back through Amazon Cloud Player.



In other words, this isn't the first time users could upload videos to Amazon's cloud. This is just making it possible to do so within the Cloud Drive Photos application.



The updated Cloud Drive app is available now on Google Play and Amazon's Appstore.

Canary Shatters Its Indiegogo Funding Goal For Its Smart, Dead-Simple Home Monitors

canary



There are some 90 million homes in the U.S. without any security system whatsoever. Many of them are renters who don't want to invest heavily in a place they don't own, among hundreds of thousands of home owners who are simply priced out. There has never been a convenient, all-in-one system that could offer home security at an affordable rate, much less one you could pick up at the local Best Buy.



But that all changes with Canary, the latest crowd-funding sensation to hit Indiegogo. We caught up with NYC-based founder Adam Sager to discuss the project.



Canary is a little console, slightly smaller than the size of a paper towel roll, that's packed with a host of sensors, a mic, and an HD camera.



For $200 down, this little guy will connect to the Wifi, sync with your phone, and constantly watch your home. I say watch, and not monitor, because Canary can only see as far as its sensors will allow, whereas most home security systems are wired in to monitor every crack and crevice of a home. Canary can only hear as far as the mic allows, or the camera sees, or the sensors can sense.



However, Sager believes that when you place the Canary in the central part of your home, near the front door perhaps or watching over the living room, that a real threat, like a burglar, will likely set off the Canary no matter where it enters from.



Plus, if you have a larger space or want added security, you can always link more than one Canary (up to four, Sager tells me).





Canary's sensors include night vision, motion detection, temperature, air quality and humidity, along with a live feed to the HD camera at any given time. The phone will instantly alert the user whenever the home experiences a random change, like a temperature fluctuation or sudden movement.



But Canary is also smart enough to learn your home, sensing the difference between a burglary and a pet. It even understands when regularly scheduled events occur, like the arrival of a nanny or a dog walker at the same time each day, so that you don't have a panic attack each time Rover needs to take a wizz.



Canary's distribution model is different from any other home security system in that you will eventually be able to go pick one up at a local electronics store on the cheap. This has never really been available before, and the potential market is huge with 90 million homes completely unprotected and priced out of the alternatives.



Sager admits that margins on the hardware itself won't be that high, but the plan is to offer value-added services like monitoring (delivered by a TBD third-party) for $10/month.



Canary has been on Indiegogo for four days, and has blown far beyond its $100k goal to be at $550k at the time of writing. It only took a few hours to reach $100k, according to Sager.



If you'd like to back the project, head on over to the Canary website or check out the Indiegogo campaign.

HP Webcam HD 5210 lets you Skype in HD





If there's one thing great about technology, it's the ability to keep in touch with the people we care about even though they're thousands of miles away. We've come a long way since the introduction of 320 x 240 webcams (remember those days?) and now HD video calling is slowly becoming the standard. HP's latest entry to the webcam market, the HP Webcam HD 5210 is one such camera.



It allows 720p video streaming or recording in full 1080p HD (for you aspiring YouTube stars), so you can be sure that your videos will look top notch. An auto-focus lens and HP's TrueVision auto light exposure also help in that department. With software to help you perform one-click uploads to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Flickr, sharing your videos isn't going to be a problem.



The camera's mount allows it to swivel up to 270 degrees, and two premium noise-cancelling stereo microphones onboard ensure your voice is heard. The HD 5210 can also take still photos with at 13-megapixels, and has 5x digital zoom in the event the need ever arises. The HP Webcam HD 5210 will be available on September 21st with a price tag of $99.
