BumpTop 3D disktop

In computing, BumpTop is a desktop environment that simulates the normal behavior and physical properties of a real world desk, and enhances it with automatic tools to organize its contents. It is aimed at stylus interaction, making it more suitable for tablet computers and handheld PCs. It was created at the University of Toronto as Anand Agarawala's Masters Thesis. Anand Agarawala also gave a presentation at the TED conference about his idea. The 1.0 version was released on April 8, 2009, along with a fully featured pro version as a paid upgrade. On April 30, 2010 the author announced that BumpTop was being discontinued and that they were taking the software "...in an exciting new direction..." Two days later on May 2, it was announced that the company had been acquired by Google. On January 5, 2011 Google released a "sneak peek" video of Android 3.0 Honeycomb showing a 3D desktop with features purportedly taken from BumpTop.

In BumpTop, documents are described by three-dimensional boxes lying on a virtual desk. The user can position the boxes on the desk using the stylus or mouse. Extensive use of physics effects like bumping and tossing is applied to documents when they interact, for a more realistic experience. Boxes can be stacked with well-defined gestures. Multiple selection is performed by means of a LassoMenu, which fluidly combines into one stroke the act of lasso selection and action invocation via pie menus. BumpTop currently supports Windows XP/Vista/7, and a version for Mac OS X was released into private beta on January 18, 2010. The Mac edition omits the pie menu in favor of a more normal selection menu.

The software installer and the application phone home. While the download page on the official website does state: "Internet connection required for activation", this may not appear in other sources such as Cnet. There is no explicit dialog box asking the user to confirm this connection at the time it is required.

BumpTop automatically updates to the latest version.



BumpTop Inside

Backed by the power of PowerColor graphics, BumpTop will make the user experience more vivid and change the way the traditional computer desktop is used...

Google TV

Many controversies and hopes surround the news of Google coming up with Google TV! It’s an attempt to integrate web with TV in a hope to provide viewers with a richer and better experience. Google TV would be having great searching capabilities integrating both TV and online content, so that users can search/watch for their favourite shows any time during the day. Many similar attempts have been made by both Microsoft and Apple to enter into “Connected TV” space, but they haven’t been able to make any big success.

It’s learnt that even Google isn’t trying anything drastically different from Apple/Microsoft other than implementing it on ‘Android Platform’ and encouraging 3rd party applications. It’s scheduled for release in US by end of 2010, and Google is also planning for aggressive international expansion by 2011.

All of this to revolutionize one of the most popular entertainment gadget of all times- Television. Its amazing that TV has remained the top entertaining media since ages, only the method of delivering content has changed. That’s the reason why viewers don’t like any paradigm changes with this traditional source of entertainment.

For Indian users who hope to see Google TV in their homes in time to come there might be some bad news. First of all the technical requirements are high even for users residing in US, forget about that in India-

1.If you don’t buy a Sony HDTV, you need to buy additional external hardware.
2.It will eventually integrate with Sony Playstation, again asking too much from an Indian user.
3.For good performance minimum bandwidth requirement is a 3MBPs connection.
4.Not many users are aware of Android platform or apps in India.

I guess from an Indian perspective we still have a lot to catch up before we can even think of having Google TV in India. We need to have better DTH/Video-on-demand services and good TV guides/mobile applications to make user aware of the importance of having such services in India.

Pioneer Stereo Headphones----HDJ-1000

Manufacturer's Description for Pioneer HDJ-1000 Stereo Headphones
Many DJs are as critical of the look of their gear as they are with its audio performance. The Pioneer HDJ-1000 headphones provide the high-quality sound that DJs expect as well as choices of colors and styles that make a fashion statement. The Pioneer HDJ-1000 headphones come in two new colors - black and gold. The black version resonates with a more sophisticated look, while the gold version provides a more glitzy style.

High Impact Bass
To obtain the best audio reproduction possible, the drivers in the Pioneer HDJ-1000 headphones were tuned to deliver more impact in the lower bass frequencies of music. Its thick 38 micrometers diaphragm and 1.5 mm voice coil are more efficient in generating the critical midrange and mid-bass frequencies in music and produce a more linear response even at high volume levels.

The mono/stereo selector circuit was modified to obtain clearer playback, especially in the midrange frequencies. With this change, the headphones deliver sounds such as bass drums, snare drums and cymbals with more impact.

Amazing Fit and Comfort
For maximum comfort, the headphones use low rebound urethane for the ear pads providing a better fit and increased comfort when used for long DJ sessions. Along with the urethane pads, the design of the headphones wrap around the ears to achieve excellent sound insulation, making monitoring effortless even in the noisiest environments.

Easy Fold-Away Design

Additional features of the Pioneer HDJ-1000 include an easy fold-away structure design, convenient carrying pouch, a swivel mechanism with 90-degree housing rotation to support a wide range of monitoring styles, and a zZounds is an authorized dealer of Pioneer products.
