Check real time North America cloud cover weather view

Space Science and Engineering Center website by University of Wisconsin-Madison's Graduate School shows a real time animation of the cloud cover over the North America continent. It gets the satellite images and shows animation by stitching those images together. With the help of it you can get an idea of what weather is going to be like in coming hours by taking a look at the forming clouds, storms near your city area.

You can see weather for the hours passed and at the end of day you see what it looked throughout the day. We all know its difficult to predict the weather in our present day world but this really shows how the cloud cover is changing continuously over North America.

Amazing pen knows where you put X or O in Tic Tac Toe!

I just saw an amazing video of pen called Livescribe which was built by a company called Infocom, the pen has a virtual machine called Z-Machine developed by Infocom to help port their games to the myriad of incompatible computers that were around in the early 80s. This could really have amazing uses, as its an intelligent pen. The bad thing about this was that you have to read for the instructions on its small LCD screen. Here’s the video enjoy:

The pen seems to be created in 2010, but still it’s a must watch. :)

Why Apple iPhone 5 may have the same design as iPhone 4

The rumors of next generation of iPhone after the iPhone 4 have been surfacing all over the internet for quite a long time now. Now there’s news that a new device which may be iPhone 5 was spotted and it might have screen like HTC’s EVO mobile device and the design is also different and not the same as iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS. But all these are just rumors and nothing is confirmed from a credible source.

 

So, why Apple iPhone 5 might have same look as iPhone 4, the answer lies inside the video of the apple’s new iOS 5 which is to be launched in September 2011 soon. As everybody is saying that apple will launch iOS 5 loaded into their next generation iPhone which may be iPhone 5.

 

Well if you have watched the video of iOS 5 then you must have seen that they are saying that you will be able to click photos with the volume buttons which I guess indicates that if Apple will be showing up their new iPhone 5 with iOS 5 then we can expect the design to be same as only then iPhone would be able click photos that way.

 

With iOS 5 you can click photos from you iPhone 4 via volume buttons

 

However this is just my small point of view which I think indicates that the next iPhone will have same design as iPhone 4, but just like everyone else I am also expecting it to be different and with some new cool features because that’s going to be my next phone! cheers..

Learn and practice HTML in real-time on web

 

HTML is one of the first steps towards learning some basic computing. Back in old school days it was the first thing which I learnt and I guess many of you too!. But at that time all we were taught was just the introduction and some other basic things. Today HTML is quite popular and is the foundation of Internet today.

 

Practice makes you perfect, and if you want to learn HTML or any other Computer Programming language then you need a good tool to practice. I found an amazing tool yesterday while I was going through some random sites, it’s a real-time HTML editor.

 

Go to http://htmledit.squarefree.com/ and you’ll see that the screen is split to 2 parts, editor and preview screen. The amazing thing about this web app is that you can instantly view the HTML you code in real-time on the preview screen below the editor. While you type the HTML code in the editor, the preview of the code is shown instantly on the screen below.

 

Though you cannot use it to create new webpages but it’s a great tool to preview how  your HTML tags and code works instantly. I have checked it on Mozilla Firefox 5 and I hope it works on almost all other browsers.

 

So go ahead and learn HTML the easy way.

MIT Student creates a simple Gesture Control System

Tony Stark in Iron Man2 using Hand Gestures

 

Do you remember Iron Man 2 in which Tony Stark uses Hand Gestures in air to create and design his robot suit. Though it has not become reality yet but many companies are researching on this great technology to bring out the best way to make it possible. Researchers are trying to use many sensors and other high tech devices to do this, but Robert Wang a student at MIT has showcased his very simple way to implement Gesture control system which only uses a pair gloves and a webcam which tracks the hands. This make the technology inexpensive and simple.

 

Robert Wang showing his 3D Gloves

 

The gloves are colorful and weird looking but there lies the concept because the color patterns are processed by the computer software and helps computer in recognizing the 3D shape of hand. When the gloves are worn then the person can move and change the objects on screen.

 

 

If research continues at same pace then get ready to see this technology being used in games and many other applications real soon in future.

Google Plus to rival the Social Networking leader Facebook

 

Everybody knows that when it comes to Internet then only one company seems to be dominating and that is Google. They have grabbed almost all the internet cyberspace with their vast range of products like Gmail for Emails, Google Docs for Documents, Picasa for photos, YouTube for Videos and many more.

 

But Social Networking is one that has questioned Google’s abilities to launch a successful project that could beat and stand against the undisputed leader of Social Networking today that is Facebook. Google launched Orkut but it didn’t became world’s favorite in front of Facebook and was only constrained to two large markets India and Brazil only. And now it seems Google has finally stepped in by launching Google Plus which is going to be a Social Networking platform to rival Facebook. But again the question remains same “Will it be successful?”.

 

 

Right now the project google plus is in final beta phase and will be soon available to all and you will be able to login using your Google Accounts.

 

Google Plus is going to have something called Friend Circles which will allow you manage your friends list better and it is also going to have chat plus video calls which is definitely going to make Facebook add the feature of Video calls.  Just have a look at this video and take a look on the Creativity of what Google has to offer:
