Joost

Joost™ is a new way of watching TV on the internet, which uses new and established technologies to provide the best of both the internet and TV worlds. We're in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts. You can also see some things that we think will enhance the TV experience: searching for programmes and channels, for example, as well as social features like chat. There are many more new features to come! Joost™ uses secure peer-to-peer technology to stream programmes to your computer. Unlike other TV and video-based web applications, it does not require users to download any files to their computers or browse through complicated websites. Joost is now accepting applications for Beta testers, it looks really cool.

Virtual Dub and Posting to YouTube

This is a great download for processing video into different formats. While many high end software will do most of your encoding needs, you may need a program like this is you are planning to post to sites like you tube. YouTube recommends that you upload your video in 320 x 240 mpeg4 format. Virtual dub will allow you to take the video you make and turn it into the correct format so it will appear high quality on YouTube.

Nano Battery

This video is a sample of the new nano battery being developed. The great thing about this new battery is that it can store the energy for years and decades. It is a great energy on demand system that will not drain from sitting on the shelf.

Urban Ninja

This guy has some really cool moves. Back when I used to do my ninja training I was much better than this, but with some practice this guy can get good too. I bet Kip would be proud of him.

Britney Shaves Her Head

I really don't have much to say about this!!! Actually I really can't think of anything to say about this. She probably must of had a bad day. Or maybe she saw that video with the wedding chick cutting her hair and decided she could beat that. Weird.

Guy Freaking out on a Reporter

This guy goes really crazy!!!

Google 3D Design

This is a great new thing from our friends at Google. It is a 3D rendering program that allows you to make simple 3D objects, such as houses, floor plans, room additions, or any thing else you can think of. You can then take your object and place it into Google earth. It's pretty cool and worth checking out.

Covert Iris Scanner

Sarnoff Labs in New Jersey, US, has been working on a clever homeland security system for the US government. It scans people's irises as they walk towards a checkpoint, without them even knowing it.

Current systems require a person to stand still and look directly into a single digital camera from close range. The new system will instead use an array of compact, high resolution cameras, all of which point in slightly different directions and focus at slightly different distances.

As a subject walks into range, a sensor triggers a powerful infrared strobe light. The strobing is synchronised with the camera exposures, illuminating pictures of a subject's face thirty times per second, to create a bank of different images.

At least one of these shots should provide a clear, high-definition image of the target's iris. Clarity could also be enhanced by combining two similar shots. Sarnoff reckons this could be done at a distance around 3 metres, and a database could be queried fast enough to sound the alarm if the subject warrants a closer check. Let's just hope the target is not wearing sunglasses.
