MP4Cam2AVI Easy ConverterMP4Cam2AVI is a MP4/MOV to AVI repackaging tool for digital photo-video cameras, it makes their clips editable in VirtualDub, MovieMaker and other AVI editors. No video recompression, no quality loss, fast operation (5-20x realtime), no quicktime needed.  http://brettterpstra.com/share/readability2.html Formerly known as “Readability 2,” this project uses code unceremoniously lifted from the original Readability. For more information, see the post here. If you’re an iPhone user, be sure to check out Clippable Mobile. As of 11.03.09 I’m referring to this as “Clippable” to avoid stepping on the toes of the original project and their potential future naming schemes.

 Although experts have been congratulating Apple on how competitive the iPad prices are, when you actually have to part with 500 bucks or more (if you want 3G, which is a must-have for such a device), it hurts. There is a solution that won’t cost you a dime, though. It also won’t get you an iPad, but you can perhaps fool someone with poor eyesight into thinking that you have one, at least for a second. I am talking about a paper iPad. To make one yourself, you’ll need these two PNG files: the front and the back. Print them, cut them out, and voila — your brand-new paper iPad is ready to… well, it can’t really do anything except sit on your desk, but considering the price is zero, I won’t hold it against it. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=9b4979fc-3828-47df-9bee-88d562399250)
This article is reposted from CollegeWebEditor.com. Please read the original article and follow the comments and related articles there, this repost is for use in my class. You might have already heard about this YouTube video as several higher ed bloggers (mstonerblog, The Old College Try and edustir among others) and twitterers have mentioned it this week. President’s Day at Macalester College is a 5-minute online video featuring President Brian Rosenberg. Not your traditional college president video at all. This online video is a humorous insider’s tour of Macalester College where the president does all sort of things to showcase the school and its spirit. Take the time to watch it now if you haven’t yet. Released on President’s Day – just 4 days ago, the video has more than 15,000 views – it’s not a huge hit in YouTube terms, but it’s definitely a popular video that resonated with the MAC community as some of the comments on YouTube prove it.
Last week at the TED conference in Southern California, Microsoft’s Blaise Aguera y Arcas demonstrated a new crowdsourced-version Bing Maps that integrates photos and even live video that is shared by others. Microsoft will also soon launch what we’ve dubbed “Bing Sky,” the ability to use Bing to look up in the sky and see what’s in space above. Bing also has a blog post with the news. Microsoft also highlighted its many map applications available for Bing, for those using the Silverlight version:
Microsoft calls the capabilities of the enhanced Bing Maps “spatial search” because it ties search results and content to the real world (or an image of it) and puts those results in geo-spatial context. Related articles
Neither of those two vehicles, however, can venture out in the snow, and this is why Google created the Google Street View Snowmobile. Just like the Trike, it was invented by Daniel Ratner, and it was created especially for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, so expect some beautiful imagery on Street View during the event. See a video introduction to the Snowmobile below. Related articles
WE may be able to amass 5,000 friends on Facebook but humans’ brains are capable of managing a maximum of only 150 friendships, a study has found. Robin Dunbar, professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Oxford University, has conducted research revealing that while social networking sites allow us to maintain more relationships, the number of meaningful friendships is the same as it has been throughout history.
