You can still win an iPad 2 from Vonage!

If you recall, earlier in the month, we held a contest to give one of our readers an iPad 2. This contest helped to promote Vonage’s Time To Call VoIP application which makes it super easy to place international phone calls from your iPhone. The app doesn’t require you to create a new account to [...]

Windows 8 to feature adaptive Aero colorization, get it now on Windows 7

windows 8 aero colorization aura
While we've still yet to see anything truly Earth-shattering, the tandem of Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott continues to churn out insight about interesting new features they've discovered in Windows 8 milestone 3. The latest discovery is that Aero in Windows 8 will be able to automatically adapt itself to match your current wallpaper image. It's a bit like what Windows 7 already does with your taskbar icons: if a program alert needs your attention, the icon will glow using the predominant color (e.g. Firefox should glow orange).

And yes, you can already make Windows 7 behave this way if you like. Over at CodePlex, there's a little program called Aura that parks itself in your system tray and automatically adjusts your window borders to compliment your wallpaper images. The effect is quite nice, and you can try it out by minimizing your windows and cycling through your theme's wallpapers (right click on your desktop and choose next desktop background).

Photographer Spends Hundreds Of Thousands To Create 8×10 Digital Sensor

Maxback-FeinbergMitchell Feinberg is a photographer who specializes in taking beautiful photographs of very expensive things. Cars, luxury goods, wristwatches, that sort of thing. He shoots on 8x10 film, which is expensive enough that you generally want to get it right the first time. So he shoots test shots on instant 8x10 Polaroid film to make sure the exposure and focus are right. At $15 a pop, 7 or 8 test shots per photo, and dwindling supplies of the Polaroid film itself (though the Impossible Project is looking to remake it), it became evident to Feinberg that he couldn't continue doing things that way. So what did he do? No, he didn't buy a Leaf or Hasselblad. He decided he'd commission the world's biggest color digital back.

?Nanopower? Shoes Could Generate 20W Of Electricity During Walking

4e544c8de63c0.imageThis is different from those other electric shoes that were making the rounds yesterday. Piezoelectrics are interesting, but simply don't produce a lot of power for their size. Enough to make a low-power transmitter squirt a few bytes, or light an LED. They're great for collecting ambient forces like sound and vibration, if you know the direction and type of force you want to harvest, there are better ways to go about it. In the case of harvesting energy from footsteps, you have a pretty good idea of how the forces will work. And some researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison are working on a system that might be able to pull as much as 20W from your strut. Why are you strutting, anyway? You think you're so cool.

Software Update Makes Jambox 10x Bigger, Crawl Across Desks

As I write this, there’s a JawBone JamBox speaker sliding slowly backwards across my desk. I hope it’s being moved by sound, otherwise the end of the world may well be nigh. This new-found ambulatory ability is thanks to nothing more than a software update. And no, this update doesn’t make a pair of legs spring [...]
