80′s back! Thanks to YouTube!
Apr 15th
Oh no! You’ve forgotten the most important anniversary! Yes, YouTube’s 57th anniversary of commercial videotape recording! No need to worry, YouTube is here with a very clever reminder.
If you do some investigation you’ll notice that certain videos on the site itself can now offer you the option to watch them in “tape mode”, which brings back the booginess to the modern day viewing experience.
All of this nostalgia is in honor of the Ampex VRX-1000, which is generally regarded as the world’s first practical videotape recorder and astonished all the other competitors when it was first displayed on April 14th, 1956 at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention.
If you’d like to read more about the device’s historic place, LabGuy’s World has a transcript of lead engineer Charles P.Ginsburg’s presentation on its development.

Top April pranks of 2013
Apr 1st
We’ve brought you the latest in the web pranks last year in our post about not being an April fool. So, we’ve decided to bring you version 2.0 this year. Google never fail to impress and some other giants have vamped up the game. Check out our selection and let us know what you liked best.
A) Google’s collections of fibs:
1. Google nose: (Link)
2. Google Maps into a pirate treasure map : (Link)
3. YouTube has been an eight-year competition to choose the best video of all time, and the site is now ready to shut down and announce the winner : (Link)
4. Gmail blue : (Link)
5. Extreme Makeover: Google SCHMICK Edition : (Link)
6. Google’s Add Emotion Button : (Link)
7. Google Fiber to the Pole: (Link)
B) Tech/ Geeky fibs:
1. Twitter has announced, in an almost plausible spoof, that it will now be charging tweeters to use vowels. Consonants are free, and in addition, the social network explains, it will always offer Y for nothing, even when it is used as a vowel. That’s led some users to believe they can outwit Twitter : (Link)
2. Virgin has announced that it has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the world’s first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways’ first ever domestic service to Scotland : (Link)
C) Miscellaneous Fibs
1. Freedom bay: (Link)
2. The world’s first social toaster? (Link)
3. Sony Launches Headphones for Cats: (Link)
4. Guardian Goggles ; Move over Google Glass, The Guardian has its own version heading out the door for April 1, 2013. (Link)
For the last post of 2012, we bring you…
Dec 31st
For the last post of 2012, we decided to bring you this year’s top tech failures. No, we are not negative, but we found these 11 to be incredibly hilarious and had to be shared with our beloved readers. So take 10 minutes to reflect on how the tech world changed this year and let us know what your thoughts are and what you expect will happen in 2013.
11. Nexus Q
In a bid to enter the media connection world, Google introduced the Nexus Q. The thing is: it didn’t quiet function; it rather looked like a cannon ball, beside the fact that there are plenty of cheaper substitutes out there with more trustworthiness. They removed it from the shelves almost instantly, my oh my…
10. Airtime
On the release day, this video chat site was the hype. Everyone from Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon, Alicia Keys and even Mark Zuckerburg showed up. 30 days later, no one cared anymore. We pity Napster creators; they just cannot seem to get a break!
9, 8 and 7 Facebook, Facebook and yes Facebook.
We do not know where to start naming all the failures of Facebook for this year, so we decided to include at least three. Number 9 goes to Facebook Camera; an Instagram copycat that was rolled out just a month after Facebook purchased Instagram itself. Humm, very intelligent move.
The embarrassing stock plunge lands at number 8. The Facebook IPO did not go quite as planned; in a prophetic moment, the Nasdaq’s software broke down causing a 30 minute delay. This alone ought to have indicated that the stock would turn out to be more of an embarrassment than profit.
If the Facebook Camera and Stock scene were not enough, then the nonsensical chair commercial must win the bet. Being its very first commercial, Facebook certainly made a very bad choice.
Ok enough with Facebook, moving on.
6 & 5 Apple and Apple
It seems even the high roller Apple suffered some tech miscarriages this year. Who can forget the brilliant commercials? Apple seemed to follow in Facebook’s footsteps with the production of a commercial that totally missed the spot and was even offensive to many. However, Apple has a long streak of great marketing so there was no excuse for this one.
Apple’s second failure of 2012 was the unforgettable Apple Maps.
This is a classic scenario of wanting to make a good thing better but ending up making it worse. Everyone was furious with stories of getting lost or bad direction spreading faster than fire through a forest led to an apology in late September and eventually a new Google Map app in early December. We hope Apple learned the lesson, the hard way.
4. Microsoft So.cl
Don’t be misled; that’s supposed to be pronounced “social”. Nothing exciting here, according to its success thus far, it’s just another social media site similar to G+, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and all the others.
3. New MySpace
All we can say to MySpace is this: every other social network out there has won so just give it up and move on, sorry.
2. Instagram’s Terms of Service
Who would’ve thought that when you put in your TOS that you have the right to use people’s photos however you please it would horribly backfire? Totally unpredictable we know! Well, Instagram has reverted to its original TOS, but they’ve lost the trust and accounts of many ever since.
1. SOPA
No one can forget the awful Stop Online Piracy Act that caused an unprecedented online furry. Many websites, including Reddit, Wikipedia and Google took a harsh stand on January 18, with either posting advocacy messages on their homepage protesting SOPA, or going dark for a few hours. Without the President’s support, or anyone in the entire globe with an Internet connection, SOPA Was indefinitely put off. So the Congress holds the number one slot for this year’s tech flops.
Of course 2012 wasn’t bad, with the introduction of many anticipated gadgets, tablets and much more. But the flops were simply hilarious.
Google celebrates The Enchantress of Numbers
Dec 10th
It might come as a surprise to some to know that the first computer programmer that has paved the way for the evolution of laptops, computers and tablets was actually a female mathematician; Ada Lovelace. Today, Google celebrates her 197th birth anniversary with a special doodle that showcases Ada writing the pioneering computer program using a quill pen while she sits at a desk and the paper scroll containing her algorithm spins in the shape of the letters of the Google logo.
Ada King, the countess of Lovelace, was the daughter of the reputable poet Lord Byron. Her father was expecting her to be a “glorious” baby boy was thus somewhat disappointed, and her parents soon separated after her birth.
Ada, originally named Augusta, was raised by her aristocratic mother, who had set her mind on distancing her daughter from anything related to poetry and thus decided to educate her little one in mathematics from a very early age. Her mother hit the right note, for as it turns out, Lovelice had an incredible affinity to the subject, and while she was educated at home by tutors, her mathematical skills were further cultivated by Augustus De Morgan, the first professor of mathematics at the University of London, who helped her in advanced studies.
Her affiliation with Charles Babbage, founder of the computer, commenced when she translated an article by Italian mathematician and engineer Luigi Federico on Babbage’s proposed Analytical Engine. Yet, Ada being as enthusiastic as she was, she not only translated the work but added her own personal notes that were extensive; 3 times longer than the actual paper and are now recognized as containing the first computer algorithm. Charles was so impressed with Ada that he called her the “Enchantress of Numbers”.
Ada Lovelace passed away at an early age of 36 on November 27, 1852 due to uterine cancer.
Even though there has been some controversy over the extent of Lovelace’s contribution to the evolution of computing, the computer language Ada is named in honor and a medal is awarded in her name by the British Computer Society.
Windows 8 is : ….
Nov 19th
We’ve all seen the funny posts comparing Google and Bing to women because of their suggested searches, but the fact is that they both are a running meme, and it’s good they are; these proposed searches give out a clear indication of the consumers’ disposition and gauge their responses when to comes to selected products. This can be intriguing, or humiliating, but mostly it is both.
Here is the evidence that needs no interpreter to comprehend. We’ve conducted a little research just a few moments ago using an Incognito Chrome window (which means in plain English, that no user was logged in to either Google or Bing). Here’s a screenshot telling us “what Windows 8 is”:
So, this means that Google users are giving a clear mark to Windows 8 and not a very good one; 1 out of 4. While we’re not sure how just of a metric this actually is, we’ll move on to see what Bing users have to say.
Bing users showed they had more to say, with 8 results popping up. However, the ratio was surprisingly still the same; 2 favorable results out of 8. Hence, scoring the same 25% rate that Google scored. To make it all the worse, the mockeries are specific while the compliments are generic. “Confusing” and “ugly” are a lot more on the dot that “awesome” and “great”.
It’s certainly entertaining to shed light on how Microsoft’s very own search engine advocates searches that so clearly condemn the company’s essential product, however, we cannot deny that Bing and Google are indeed the pivotal search engines in the west if not in the whole world. So, if this is what people are researching, then the company most certainly has its work cut out for it when it comes to elevate people’s comprehension of its aspiring new software.
With the initial daunting sales results out already, the time is now for Microsoft to choose a story for such disappointing results and stick to it.
In case you were wondering about the Windows 7 search results, we got you covered with two snapshots, here you go:
So, what seems to be the dispute? It seems that an issue in Windows 7 can indicate if a user’s copy of Window is genuine or simply fraudulent. If you’re intrigued to read more on the topic, Microsoft has a help page on the matter.
Unfortunately, we haven’t found any interesting Window 7 search results; for most of them are merely operational while those of Windows 8 indicated inquiries related to novelty. Of course, this came as no surprise.
So, while all of this might be amusing, the bottom line is that one ought to always have their back (up) for any unfortunate event when migrating or upgrading. Our recommendation would be Genie Backup Manager, since GBM supports Disaster Recovery and thus offers an easy dependable way to recover your system in all the worst case scenarios.
YouTube: Get ready to rumble, Round two
Nov 12th
It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year since YouTube rolled out its redesigned channels’ strategy in a bid to alleviate more professional and authentic content on the viral site that is heading towards a more TV-like trail. Of course the $100 million investment made the transition all the merrier.
Heading towards the TV trail means taking the same marketing steps; YouTube shall not renew all of last year’s programs. Only 30 to 40% of its 100 partners will enjoy the freshly brewed second round of funds.
Unlike the first round that seemed to take an arbitrary approach, with YouTube taking on a vast range of promising producers as well as notions. A year later proves that YouTube is wiser with a more objective vision; looking for more than just a celebrity name, but rather a successful channel who puts as much efforts into building the audience as creating original content.
Last year’s line-up of professional channels included celebrities and entertainers ranging from Madonna, Jay-Z, Deepak Chopra, Tony Hawk and Rainn Wilson. Yet, it turned out that it is not enough for a channel to be backed up by a celebrity to bring in sufficient revenue.
There are still a few weeks before YouTube actually contacts the lucky partners that will make the cut for this year, and no precise details have been granted as to shed some light on how much channel owners ought to expect. Speculations say that the funds will be around $1-5 million.
Don’t get too excited now and heading off to make your own channel; the money is not a free pass to the luxury life, it’s simply an upfront payment of one year of advertising revenues. The money ought to be earned back by each producer through ads that are attached to their content before any additional revenue can be earned. To exemplify it a bit further; $1 million comes in at around 50 million views on a $20 CPM (cost per mil/thousand) – quite high risks.
If you’re more statistical, let’s talk a bit more about numbers. YouTube proclaims that its top 25 channels have an average of more than a million views per week, while the top 33 have more than 100,000 subscribers- each of whom is more prone to visit the channel, browse through its content and hence make advertising dollars.
October also saw the service’s global expansion; with the scheduled launch in the UK, Germany and France in the upcoming months.
Even though YouTube is undoubtedly affecting TV ad budgets, it certainly is still in its infant stages; TV viewers watch more in one day (4 hours, 38 minutes) than YouTube viewers watch in a month.
“We’ve had some really great response from the advertiser community. As we continue to talk to advertisers and marketers, there’s a real sense that they’re looking at YouTube differently,” Jamie Byrne- YouTube’s director of content strategy- says. “But as we look at this initiative, we are taking the long view here. It’s not necessarily about immediate results.”

Nexus 4; All the latest and comparisons with the iPhone 5 & Galaxy S3
Oct 31st
With Monday came Google’s official announcement of the LG Nexus 4, yet it did not yield the expected approval from the customers due to the astounding absence of LTE support. Last year’s Nexus model had an LTE variant, making the 3G-only Nexus 4 appear even more so as a relapse.
Google also announce the Nexus 10 tablet, a 3G version of the Nexus 7 and Android 4.2 ; all of which were set to be unveiled at an event in New York but got cancelled due to the unfortunate Hurricane Sandy.
The Google Nexus 4, manufactured by LG, is most certainly an exceptional Android Smartphone, yet the inevitable question on everyone’s mind remains: how does it compare to the major rivals such as the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII ? Well, we’ll help you out and compare the specs below.
Display & Dimensions
Despite the general consensus that comes with the name, the Nexus 4 has a 4.7 inch touch-screen, running at a resolution of 1280*720 pixels. This gives the new smartphone a 320 pixels-per-inch (ppi), which comes in very favorably when compared to the iPhone 5’s 4inch 326 ppi Retina display, and definitely beats the Galaxy SIII’s 4.8 inch 306 ppi display.
Now let’s move to the dimensions; 134mm * 69mm * 9mm and weighs in at 139g, making it larger and heavier than the iPhone 5. This, however, does not come as a surprise thanks to the larger screen-size and the higher capacity 2100 mAH battery. A more object comparison would be with the Galaxy SIII since it is just slightly thicker and heavier.
Power & Features
Google is keen to roll each and every one of its devices with impeccable amount of power, and the new Nexus 4 is no exception. The smartphone boasts a quad-core 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon, S4 processor and 2GB of RAM, easily giving it the upper hand over both the iPhone ( dual-core A6 processor & 1GB of RAM) and the Galaxy SIII ( 1.4 Ghz quad-core processor & 1GB of RAM).
When it comes to Kodak moments, the three smartphones rank pretty much equally; the Nexus 4 has an 8 mega-pixel rear facing camera & a 1.3 mp front-facing clicker for those video calls. The iPhone, similarly, has an 8 mp and 1.2 mp, the Galaxy SIII has an 8 mp and 1.9 mp.
The one major advantage the Nexus 4 can boast over its two major rivals is its unprecedented wireless charging, which is not supported on both the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII. The wireless charging mat comes included in the retail box, hence saving you the burden of buying an extra accessory that would’ve been exploited had it been Apple’s.
Operating System
The very latest version of the Android Jelly Bean OS, the Android 4.2, is the one implemented in the Nexus 4. The new OS comes with a lot of new enhancements such as the Photo Sphere, an improved version of Google Now and Gesture Typing.
Apple’s latest flagship runs on their latest OS; the iOS 6, while the Galaxy SIII is a step behind the Nexus 4 since it runs on the “oh so last month’s Jelly Bean” 4.1. Not to sound so harsh, the GSIII will be updated surly in the near future, yet the fact that the Nexus 4 comes preinstalled with the latest version still gives it the upper hand.
Lack of 4G & microSD support
We’ve always been taught that all that shines is not gold, and this is true for the Nexus 4 for it does not impress in every category; astoundingly it lacks support for 4G LTE, as well as the lack of support for microSD cards, obliging you to be content with either 8 or 16 GB of existing memory. Of course, this might not satisfy many hungry GB consuming users, but they’ll have to make do with the cloud-based storage. Both the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII come in at 16, 32 and 64 models, with Samsung’s support for microSD cards.
Conclusion
To sum it all up for the non tech savvy; the Google Nexus 4 is a compelling smartphone, offers an equivalent display, competitive battery and almost duplicate cameras as its major rivals. It runs on the latest Android OS with the only setback being the lack of support for the 4G and microSD cards. However, this setback is trivial when you take into consideration the pricing; the Nexus 4 is almost half the price of the iPhone 5 and over $160 cheaper than the precious Galaxy SIII. Those who are content with just 8GB of memory can even boast an even greater deal and pay a mere $386.8 for such a great power-packed Droid.

Google Maps; More than a map?
Oct 8th
Google must be really proud; after the huge failure of iOS6 maps, it announced last week that 800,000 websites and apps are in fact actively using its Google Maps API. To commemorate this achievement, the search behemoth launched MoreThanAMap.com which demonstrates how developers are leveraging the features of the Maps API.
Even though millions of users use maps.google.com to find where they ought to go, many others also use Google Maps through other sites. Google wants to pay tribute to the developers that use the API, and it’s doing so by showing the visitors of www.morethanamap.com just how Web and App developers effectuate Google Maps features such as Street View, public transit directions, location data, and advanced data visualization capabilities.
There are tons of interactive demos on the website to flaunt the simplicity in which anyone can embed the aforementioned features. Stories are also included especially from those in the community who are using the API to start off businesses, help enhance their communities, or save the environment. In fact, starting this Monday, such inspiring stories will be featured on a weekly basis on the Geo Developers Blog.
Of course no new Google announcement would be complete without a YouTube video explaining the campaign. Google Maps team member Carlos Cuesta, with just a backpack and a camera, spoke to six distinct developers around the world about the API:
Do not be mistaken: this marketing move is not out of place. Despite Apple’s open apology for iOS 6 Maps, Mountain view was also criticized for not working something out with Cupertino, as well as for not releasing a standalone Maps app in time for the release of iOS 6.
Google is trying to spin off the whole situation for its favor, and making it look like it’s the victim. If we think about it, 800,000 sites and apps is not such a huge turning point; no big deal was held for the 600,000 mark, and there certainly was no new website launched to flaunt how the whole world is using its API.
This is the embedded message that Google is trying to get through: “Check out all the developers that already enjoy having thriving businesses based on our API. Yes, we’ll release a Google Maps app for iOS 6 when time is right, but until then, check out what Apple and its fanboys are missing out on.”
