drag2share: Channel.me Is an Easy Way to Share Web Sites with Friends [Collaboration]

Channel.me Is an Easy Way to Share Web Sites with Friends If you're looking for a way to share a web site or collaborate over a web page with a friend but you don't want to install anything to do it, Channel.me can help. The service offers simultaneous browser sharing, real-time chat, and the ability to add notes and comments right on the page.

Channel.me works much like Google Docs: you can highlight text on a page, add comments and notes to different sections of a web page, and then chat with the other people in your shared browser session. You can both search the page in real-time, and when one of you clicks a link or navigates forward or back, the other people in the session are notified before the action goes through. There are even Chrome and Firefox extensions you can install to start a sharing session from any web site without visiting Channel.me first.

The service is ideal for people who need to look at a web site at the same time, but have never worked together or are on systems where they can't install new software. Channel.me only works for browser sessions, which makes it less feature-rich than previously mentioned QuickScreenShare, and much less effective than other, more robust remote support and control tools. However, it's completely free and doesn't require special software to work.

Image Sharing Service Minus Updates its Browser Extensions for Quick Uploading and Editing Chrome/Firefox: If you're a fan of previously mentioned photo and file upload service Minus, its new browser extensions just made uploading images, taking screenshots, and editing the images you upload much easier.

The new Minus extensions can take screenshots of your entire browser window and instantly upload it to your Minus account and set hotkeys to make it easy to do it quickly. Once installed, you can also right-click any image on the web and upload it, edit it in Aviary, see your previous uploads, and manage your account.

Minus is still free to all users, and new users get 10GB of space to store and share images and files. The new extensions are available now at Mozilla Add-Ons and in the Chrome Web Store.

drag2share: Back in Time for iPad: See the History of the Universe in 24 Hours [IPad Apps]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5847074/back-in-time-for-ipad-see-the-history-of-the-universe-in-24-hours

Back in Time for iPad: See the History of the Universe in 24 HoursI've said many time before that the best iPad apps are those that combine coffee-table styled books with the fluid nature of the iPad's interface. Back in Time is just that, it's the story of the entire history of our universe made interactive on the iPad.

What's it do?

The app takes you back in time, from the moment of the Big Bang to now, 13.7 billion years later. There's 300 stunning images, more than a 100 animations, videos and timelines and countless fun little facts that you probably didn't know about our universe. You basically twirl a clock's hands around to see the defining moments of our history, jumping million of years at a time to see what type of life, if any, existed back then. There's articles explaining more about the phenomenons that happened and it's all packaged in an uber-slick interface that kids and adults will enjoy using.


Why do we like it?

I'm not a big science person but I'm in awe of how tiny we are in the larger scope of space. Back in Time shows us just how small we are by showing you how long the history of the universe is. 13.7 billion years! It's a learning experience wrapped up in a very visual experience. I can't help but keep fast forwarding the pseudo-clock to find out more about different periods of time in our universe. The imagery is especially stunning too, my jaw drops at the detail of the videos. One thing that's both good and bad though: it's a 600MB+ app so it's freaking huge but it doesn't need the Internet to work so it's decently fast.

drag2share: Dell announces Inspiron One 2320 touchscreen all-in-one

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/dell-announces-inspiron-one-2320-touchscreen-all-in-one/

Over the past few weeks, we've seen HP and Toshiba freshen up their all-in-ones, while Samsung made a belated jump into the market just last week. Today, it's Dell's turn -- the company just announced an addition to its all-in-one lineup, the 23-inch Inspiron One 2320. Funnily enough, the new design reminds us somewhat of the PCs HP trotted out last month in that it has an easel-like display with enough space underneath to stow the keyboard, although this one doesn't have a tilting screen. Spec-wise, it's well-matched against the competition, with a 1080p touchscreen, Intel Wireless Display capability, optional NVIDIA GeForce GT525M graphics, six USB 2.0 ports, HDMI-in, a Blu-ray option and up to 2TB in storage. (For whatever reason, USB 3.0 didn't make the cut.) That starting price of $950 will get you a Core i5-2400S CPU and 6GB of RAM, but if you have an extra $450 lying around you can step up to a Core i7-2600S processor with 8GB of memory. Wrapping it all up, the 2320 runs Dell's touch-friendly Stage UI, the latest version of which lets you sync photos and other media across different devices. We've rounded up a few glossy press shots below, but hit the source link if you're curious enough for the full spill.

drag2share: India's $35 tablet is here, for real. Called Aakash, costs $60

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/indias-35-tablet-is-here-for-real-called-aakash-costs-60/

India's much-hyped $35 tablet for students is a reality. But, like every other super-cheap education project, the price has jumped -- though in this case only to Rs 2,999 ($60). It turns out that the Aakash is actually an Ubislate 7 from Datawind (makers of the Pocketsurfer). Beneath the 7-inch 800 x 480 resistive touchscreen is a 366MHz Connexant CPU, 256MB of RAM and 2GB of storage (expandable via microSD) running Froyo and the Getjar market on top. The battery life is rated for a rather short three hours, and much less if you want to play HD video. In addition to the 802.11 a/b/g WiFi chip, you also get a GPRS modem to stay connected in rural areas. We wish India's HRD Minster Kapil Sibal's pet project all the best and if you want to see the device held snugly inside a Rs 300 ($7) keyboard folio, check out the picture after the break.
