Smart phones will take 3-D mainstream.


The Samsung B710 phone looks like a typical smart phone, but something unexpected happens when the screen is moved from a vertical to a horizontal orientation: the image jumps from 2-D to 3-D. The technology that produces this perception of depth is the work of Julien Flack, CTO of Dynamic Digital Depth, who has spent more than a decade perfecting software that can convert 2-D content to 3-D in real time. It could help solve the biggest problem with 3-D: the need for special glasses that deliver a separate image to each eye.

Orkut to make a comeback again?


We are all aware that Google’s product ‘Orkut’ has already lost the race to Facebook in social networking. But still Google thinks its not over yet and has decided to make several changes to orkut. These changes will be coming up in 2 weeks from now, the changes include:
  • Left navigation, to help you get to the most popular features more easily.
  • A new larger profile photo, a popular request. Be sure to upload a higher resolution photo of yourself!
  • New full profile view, which lets you and your friends see your info, interests, badges, testimonials and recent photos and videos.
  • New fullscreen slideshow for photos (this surely seems to be inspired by Facebook).
