Yahoo Video gets a new coat of paint, higher resolution videos

This morning the parade of changes continues with the relaunch of Yahoo Video . Besides an all new layout, Yahoo Video is coming a little closer to YouTube. It is emphasizing editor-chosen content alongside the most popular videos on the service. One of them being the new trailer for Indiana Jones, which oddly enough looks significantly better, and is available in HD on Yahoo's Movies property. The Flash video player (the most important part of the service) has been given a face-lift with slightly higher resolutions and a new wide-screen display that can be embedded on blogs or other Web sites. User file size limits have been increased to 150MB, letting users upload larger videos files sizes that tend to come with wide-screen clips.

What is Ajax?
2008-02-18 19:26:00
Web applications are fun to build. They are like the fancy sportscar of Web sites. Web applications allow the designer and developer to get together and solve a problem for their customers that the customers might not have even know they had. That's how the blogging tools like MovableType and Blogger came about after all. I mean, before Blogger, did you know you needed an online tool to build your Web site blog?But most Web applications are slow and tedious. Even the fastest of them has lots of free time for your customers to go get a coffee, work on their dog training, or (worst of all) head off to a faster Web site. It's that dreaded hourglass! You click a link and the hourglass appears as the Web application consults the server and the server thinks about what it's going to send back to you.

Top 10 downloads of the past 10 years?

1. ICQ Today instant messengers are ubiquitous, but when ICQ ("I Seek You") was first released in 1997, it was truly the first of its kind. Though competitors such as Yahoo Instant Messenger and AIM have since encroached on ICQ's territory, this chat client remains enormously popular with international users, and it has remained one of Download.com's most popular applications since its launch.2. WINAMP Arriving fast on the heels of the emerging MP3 digital format, Nullsoft's Winamp was one of the darlings of the burgeoning digital audio scene in the late '90s. This free audio player quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the most popular files on Download.com, and Nullsoft was eventually acquired by AOL in 1999.3.NAPSTER Who doesn't remember this controversial file-sharing kingpin?

Scientists Invent 30 Year Continuous Power Laptop Battery
2008-02-18 18:20:00
Your next laptop could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The breakthrough betavoltaic power cells are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. As the radioactive material decays it emits beta particles that transform into electric power capable of fueling an electrical device like a laptop for years. Although betavoltaic batteries sound Nuclear they’re not, they’re neither use fission/fusion or chemical processes to produce energy and so (do not produce any radioactive or hazardous waste). Betavoltaics generate power when an electron strikes a particular interface between two layers of material. The Process uses beta electron emissions that occur when a neutron decays into a proton which causes a forward bias in the semiconductor. This makes the betavoltaic cell a forward bias diode of sorts, similar in some respects to a photo...

What do you know about Linux?
2008-02-18 05:31:00
Linux is an operating system that was initially created as a hobby by a young student, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Linus had an interest in Minix, a small UNIX system, and decided to develop a system that exceeded the Minix standards. He began his work in 1991 when he released version 0.02 and worked steadily until 1994 when version 1.0 of the Linux Kernel was released. The kernel, at the heart of all Linux systems, is developed and released under the GNU General Public License and its source code is freely available to everyone. It is this kernel that forms the base around which a Linux operating system is developed. There are now literally hundreds of companies and organizations and an equal number of individuals that have released their own versions of operating systems based on the Linux kernel. More information on the kernel can be found at our sister site, LinuxHQ and at the official Linux Kernel Archives. The current full-featured version is 2.6 ...

101 gadgets that changed the world. whew!
2008-02-18 05:14:00
1. Abacus, AD190 Use of the abacus, with its beads in a rack, was first documented in Han Dynasty China in about AD190, but the word dates to much earlier calculating devices. "Abacus" derives from the Hebrew ibeq, meaning to " wipe the dust" or from the Greek abax, meaning "board covered with dust", which describes the first devices used by the Babylonians. The Chinese version was the speediest way to do sums for centuries and, in the right hands, can still outpace electronic calculators. 2. Archimedes Screw, c.700BC Purportedly devised by the ancient Greek physicist Archimedes of Syracuse in the 3rd century BC to expel bilge water from creaking ships, the screw that bears his name in fact predates Archimedes by about 400 years. Recent digs have established that earlier screws, which are capable of shifting water " uphill", were used in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in the 7th century BC. So effective was the device, it is still used today in several sewage plants and irrigation d...

Intel Core Duo vs. Core 2 Duo: What's the Difference?
2008-02-17 17:04:00
Three people have written to me in the last 10 days asking about Intel Core Duo CPUs vs. Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs. I figured it was time to tackle the topic on the blog.Intel's really to blame here for a horrific naming convention. Any half-conscious marketing executive would commit suicide before putting both a numeral 2 and the word "duo" in the name of a product, particularly when there's also a product with "solo" in the name. But let's put that aside and look at the specs of each.Core Duo is Intel's first dual-core CPU. It's a whole new architecture for Microsoft, using two cores on a single die, which, put simply, gives you two chips in one package. Running at lower speeds than the old Pentium line, the Core Duo conserves substantial power vs. ratcheting up clock speed while offering what was, at the time, record-breaking performance.Now there's Core 2 Duo . In many ways Core 2 is the same as Core: The chips are built using the same production process and fit in the same soc...

What's Better Than Bookmarking Your Favorite Web Sites
2008-02-17 14:20:00
A lot of new and interesting web sites and pages come to my attention every week. They arrive by phone, email, voice mail, radio, TV, and newspaper, just to name a few sources. I used to clip articles, flag pages, write myself notes and then try to file everything in some organized way, so I'd be able to find it when I needed it.When I began spending a lot of time on the Internet, I learned how to bookmark various sites and add them to my FAVORITES list, using my browser to keep the files organized. That system was great, but it was only available when I was at the computer that I originally used to capture the link.So when I worked on my laptop instead of my desktop or I was at a client location, I lost access to all that information. And when the desktop computer died.....well, it wasn't pretty.I found a great solution about four years ago that I still use today.Furl (www.furl.net) is a social bookmarking site that allows you to store, organize, search, and manage your favorite ...

a-ta-da-daaaa! (fanfare band sounds) Gmail , the fastest growing email service on the Internet, provided by Google, revamped last autumn, is finally finding its way onto our computers in our own languages. Perhaps a herald needs some special training, I don’t think I was able to underline the importance of this new update the way a pro could have.What’s so great about it? Well, aside from the scoreless numbers of new people soon to embrace Gmail thatwere previously held at bay by their not knowing English all that well to use it, the update comes fully equipped with everything that was added so far. You know the way Google launches a product when it’s almost finished and then patches it as they go along? This is not the case, Gmail has all of its features translated and ready for use: colored labels, group chat, the rich emoticons, a new contact manager with a three-pane layout and some additional smaller features (i.e. shortcut keys, the ability to bookmark individual emails ...

Intel's Dual-CPU Beast: Skulltrail Finally Gets Detailed
2008-02-12 12:32:00
The Xeon platform, although extremely powerful and overclockable, has been kept off the consumers' hands for 10 years now. It was about time that Intel released a consumer-oriented alternative based on the powerful Xeons, and the 10th Xeon anniversary will bring us the Skulltrail beast in all its splendor.Skulltrail is a strange kind of platform, comprised of an Intel D5400XS motherboard and a pair of LGA771quad-core Xeons that have undergone some significant tweaks. The manufacturer had them rebranded as Core 2 Extreme QX9775, since the Xeon name would make the user associate it with those expensive servers.The Skulltrail platform basically inherits all the important aspects of the Xeon technology, but at the same time, they are different in some key points. The Xeon X5482s are fully interchangeable with the Core 2 Extreme QX9775 chips and are based on the same socket LGA 771, rather than the usual LGA775 for desktop systems. Moreover, both processors have the same four cores run...

Going Out on the Big Night: Make it Romantic, Not Commercial
2008-02-07 15:10:00
It seems that Valentine’s Day has become another holiday that is all about commercialism. Retailers anticipate the event and decorate their windows with hearts, cupids, and other memorabilia, while flower shops make sure that they have thousands of roses and other types of flowers ready for sale. But it’s possible to bring the romance back to this holiday when you head out for the big date and still make it one of the most memorable ever.One way to make the holiday more romantic without having all the added commercialism is to have a picnic. Depending on where you live in the country, it may not be possible to have the picnic outdoors as it will be right in the middle of winter. But plan a picnic indoors somewhere, such as at your house or at his. You can decorate the surroundings to look like the place you met, or where you went on your first date. For example, if your first date was at the beach, bring in some sand and lay it around on a blanket in the living room.Another grea...

Valentine’s Day Trivia
2008-02-07 05:18:00
How did Valentine’s Day originate?The holiday has evolved from Roman mythology to a religious holiday to a day of celebrating love. Romans had the feast of Lupercalia, named after Lupercus, the god of fertility. It happened every year in February and had many parts. There was a sacrificial slaughtering of goats and young dogs, both known for their strong sexual instincts. The sacrifice was to please Lupercus. If the god was happy, he would spare their sheep from his wolves. Another piece of the celebration was the tradition of matching young couples. Each teen boy would choose a girl’s name from a lottery. The two would be paired up for the festivities and remain sexual partners for the following year. This too was done trusting that it was the will of the gods. Also during that era, February 14th was a celebration of Juno, queen of the Roman gods and goddesses, and had nothing in common with Valentine’s Day other than sharing the date.Much later, in the early days of Christia...
