switching to Google Nexus One was easy, once I discovered SqueezeCommander to remote-control my SqueezeBox. For EUR 3,- it does everything iPeng does on the iPhone, including support for SqueezeBox apps & multi-player & -server-support. searching large libraries of music seems faster than on the iPhone. but the best thing: it can download single tracks [...]
Google Buzz Air Desktop-Client (Download) – very simple, basically just the mobile web-page
Chrome Buzz – browser extension f. Chrome, basically just shows your feed, nothing more
Buzzer – shares a webpage through Google Reader on your Buzz-account
Share-Bookmarklet – does the same as above, but through a bookmarklet which works on all browsers. in both cases you [...]
while you’re waiting for Facebook to release their HipHop for PHP over on github, you might wanna watch this video having engineer Haiping Zhao giving a detailled introduction about the way HipHop transforms PHP-code into C++.
as an avid Squeezebox-user, I’ve no idea how I could have missed this gem for so long: iPeng lets you use our iPhone to control your Squeezbox (or boxes, if you’ve several spread across the house). hands down the best way to browse a large local music-library or subscription-services napster & rhapsody [which of course [...]
had some fun toying with Google Goggles this morning. Goggles uses your phone’s camera to do image-based search for products, landmarks, media, shops etc. the results I was getting for products & books are pretty accurate. most impressive: I snapped the artwork (no text, title at all) of a german, medical text-book – first result [...]
Sony has a fun little Facebook-app that lets you post auto-tuned audio-status-updates to your wall …the best thing to happen since the T-Pain iPhone app.
trying out the new Xbox Zune video-marketplace, which is only available within the Xbox Live Update Preview-program for now. there are only few select movies available for the preview, even fewer in 1080p HD & 5.1 audio (Matrix Revolutions, Watchmen). HD-movies come both as on-demand streaming & download for 490 microsoft points or EUR 5,70 [...]
just a few screenshots from the pending Xbox LIVE Update, which will include access to Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm & Zune marketplace. I couldn’t find Last.fm in the preview, but Facebook & Twitter really works well… if you want to be considered for upcoming Xbox preview-programs (this one seems to be closed down), sign up here!
1) download and install the wonderful Wavr-Plugin by Lucas Caro (thx!)
2) the plugin version 0.2 includes hardcoded URLs to the Wave-sandbox (wave.google.com/a/sandbox) – if you want to use it with Wave production (wave.google.com), edit wavr.php and replace “http://wave.google.com/a/sandbox/” with “http://wave.google.com/wave/” on line 109
3) create a new post or page and include a snippet like this: [...]
no secret, I have a soft spot for websites advancing music-charts on the web. being based on sources like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook and even P2P-Networks current traffic, We are hunted gives charts a social twist. great site, but I keep forgetting its URL, hence this blog-post
ps: of course there’s also still charts.fm, where [...]
