YouTube is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos, created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005.
File-YouTube_Logo.pngThe company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video and HTML5  technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBSBBCVevoHulu and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.
Unregistered users may watch videos, and registered users may upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users 18 and older. In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and now operates as a subsidiary of Google.

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#21 GOOGLE CHROME


File-Chromeychromechrome.png
Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on 2 September 2008, and the public stable release was on 11 December 2008. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. As of January 2011, Chrome was the third most widely used browser, and passed the 10% worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to Net Applications.
In September 2008, Google released a large portion of Chrome's source code, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitledChromium. This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and to help convert the browser to the Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Google also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to improve web application performance. The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license, which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and closed source software programs. Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open source licenses. Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but lacks built-in automatic updates and Google branding, and most noticeably has a blue-colored logo in place of the multicolored Google logo.

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#17 COLOR COP


Color-Cop-Large.gif
Color Cop impressed me with its combination of simplicity and effectiveness. It comes with a compact and powerful user interface which takes up very little screen space. A color grabber is provided to drag and drop at any pixel of the screen, and RGB and Hex codes are presented instantly.
The front interface provides a built-in magnifier and an active color palette. If you want to adjust a picked color, you can click the ‘custom’ button and call up Windows’ default color mixer. When you right click on the interface a menu pops up with extra features. In this way, the interface is cleverly made small but powerful.
The extra features include web-safe color, display color reverses, random colors, conversion to gray-scale, additional hex codes, application options and settings, etc. The only drawback is that CMYK color space has yet to be incorporated

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#15 FOXIT READER

The coolest software has to be free, because if it isn’t not many of us could enjoy the features and the applications it has to offer. So, in the next lines we are going to present the coolest free software you can find online. Let’s star with Inkscape which is an open source vector graphics editor.




If you can’t afford to purchase CorelDraw or Illustrator, this free software is a good replacement and supports features like alpha blending, clones, markers and more. The software is so good that in the Los Altos School District located in California, students are using Inkscape to about graphics software and vector graphics. You will find it free to download in the Inkscape.org website.

Foxit Reader is a cool and also free PDF reader which comes with a lot of great features. This software has over 90 million users world wide and you have the possibility to convert the PDF document into a text file and you can also add comments to the PDF document and print the document with the comments. This cool softwarealso allows its users to type text on a PDF document, to highlight the text or to draw graphics. You can download it for free from the Foxit Software.com

Open Office looks like Microsoft Office, but is free. Is a great software used for databases, graphics, presentations, spreadsheets and word processing. If you are used with Microsoft Office, this software will be very easy to learn. Open Office is under LGPL license which mean that is can be downloaded and used for any purpose like public administration, educational (for schools or universities), commercial or domestic.

The best thing about it is the fact that is stores and saves the file in a international open standard format, so you can open the files, read them or change them from any other office software (for example, Microsoft Office). Download it for free from Open Office.org. Firefox and Opera are great web browser that can be downloaded for free. They are secure, customizable and very popular. Opera is the most secure free Internet browser followed by Firefox.

If you are a Photoshop fan, but you can’t afford to purchase it, you can try the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Don’t expect it to be exactly like Photoshop because it doesn’t have as many features and quite the same functionality, but this is perfect if you want a free image editing software. This cool software supports a lot of file formats including: PSD, PNG, GIF, TIFF and JPEG. It works on Mac, Windows and also Linux. More information about it you will find on their website Gimp.org.

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#15 MACBOOK PRO

File-MacBook_Pros.jpg

The MacBook Pro is a line of Macintosh portable computers introduced in January 2006 by Apple Inc. It replaced the PowerBook G4 and was the second model, after the iMac, announced in the Apple–Intel transition. The high end of the MacBook family, the MacBook Pro is currently produced in 13-, 15-, and 17- inch sizes.
There have been two designs for the MacBook Pro, both using aluminum. The first design was largely a carry-over from the PowerBook G4, but used the Intel Core central processing units instead of PowerPC G4 chips. A 15-inch model was released in January 2006, followed by a 17-inch model in April. These original models received several updates and were upgraded with Core 2 Duo processors late that year.
The second "unibody" model has a more tapered design; most of the casing is made from a single block of aluminum. This design debuted in October 2008 as the 15-inch MacBook Pro and the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook. The following January brought the design to the 17-inch model, along with the built-in battery that joined the rest of the MacBook Pro line in June. Subsequent updates brought upgraded Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel's Thunderbolt technology.
The MacBook Pro line of computers are consistently rated among the best laptops available. Consumer Reports and PC Magazine have chosen the MacBook Pro as one of the best computers in each size category for several years running

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#14 MACBOOK AIR


The MacBook Air family is a line of Apple ultraportable Macintosh notebook computers.
File-Late_2010_MacBook_Air_edit.png
The first MacBook Air was a 13.3" model,  as the 'World's Thinnest Notebook', that was introduced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, 2008. The original MacBook Air featured a custom Intel Merom CPU plus Intel GMA graphics that was updated to faster non-custom Penryn CPU and Nvidia GeForce graphics in late 2008. In addition, the hard drive capacity was increased and the micro-DVI video port was replaced with a Mini DisplayPort. A mid-2009 refresh, introduced alongside theMacBook Pro family, featured a slightly higher-capacity battery, and a faster Penryn CPU option.
On October 20, 2010, Apple released a redesigned 13.3" model, with a new lighter enclosure, higher resolution screen, higher capacity battery, and flash storage instead of a hard drive. In addition, an 11.6" model was released for the first time, offering reduced cost, weight, battery life, and performance relative to the 13.3" model, but better performance than typical netbooks.

PostHeaderIcon IT NEWS#13 TOP 10 COOLEST LAP TOP EVER!!

The ranking chosen for this top is based on how cool these concepts are but also on how realistic their design is, because in our view it is more important that such a machine to be functional and reliable, rather than just futuristic looking.
Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

10. On the last position we decided to place the Anna Lopez’s concept, a notebook designed with the focus on car drivers’ needs, for which would be helpful a mobile device easy attachable to the rudder.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

As the use of this lightweight laptop is limited, because of its special design dedicated to mobile workers, with a full screen keyboard and a transparent display, capable to work in your car with the possibility to catch your attention from driving, we had to leave it at the end of the list of the top 10 coolest laptop concepts.



9. Again a very futuristic system that Hewlett Packard liked a lot and exposed it at the HP Invent event last year.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

The company didn’t talk much about this notebook but it wanted us to have a view about how the future HP notebooks would look like. 

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

8. V12 Design, an industrial and engineering studio from Italy presented the Canova DualTouch Screen Laptop to show us all how a futuristic 2-displays system would look like, and indeed it is interesting, but not that close to the near future’s reality to deserve a better position in our top. 

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

This notebook would have 2 touch-sensitive displays and more than that they would support the multi-touch technology. 

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

The concept would be helpful for those that work with graphic editors - one of the 2 displays would be the monitor while the other one would transform into a keyboard – but it’d also provide sketch pad, graph paper, music score, the electronic pen and a special hardware configuration to meet the smooth functioning requirements.

7. On the 7th position we have the concept coming from Fujitsu, exposed at CEATEC, designed with the focus on one large sector as you would see. 
It is equipped with touch keypad, backlit display, a 5.1 surround sound system, music keys, and second display for showing detailed information about the song playing. In conclusion it would be the perfect mobile digital player.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

Fujitsu DJ laptop, as it was called, has a 20-inch primary LCD display easily folded closed to enable the turntable function, which can be accessed via a touch-sensitive screen on the outside.
This concept is focused on the music sector but has other impressive capabilities so we decided to leave it on this place in our top, and to search for something with more functionalities and dedicated to all domains.

6. Now comes the Flexi PDA concept which is very cool but not for those that prefer something stylish or neutral.
What’s unique here is the flexible display that would allow us to open the system and change its form, as Daniel Alexander, its designer describes it. 

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

According to him, this laptop would fold base on the flexible screen technology, allowing us to use it as a mobile phone even outside because it is also waterproof.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

It occupies place number 6 because its look would not be on everyone’s taste.

5. The green concept here is called Gelfrog and was conceived by the Frog Design team that made it so lightweight and thin so anyone could carry it as a news paper.
It’s made from a super-pliable rubberized material that would act like a mobile mirror, picture slide show and even a video projector.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

And now the unrealistic part:
Gelfrog uses something like a cloning algorithm that scans people’s outfits to project a matching pattern on its own surface, allowing people to scan images from around and then study different subjects using the same interface.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

Too futuristic but cool enough to be on the 5th position.

4. Closer to reality is Fujitsu Fab PC laptop concept that has an electronic paper display type, e-ink, with tissue covering, which makes it very flexible and lightweight. 

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

It would look like an office folder when opened.

3. Intel had a great idea too, after collaborating with Ziba Design, and came up with this 0.7 inches thick laptop having a width of 17.7 inches and a weight of 2.25 pounds (1Kg). 
Again we encounter the e-ink material for an external display that would show a photo, the calendar, or your daily schedule.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

The Intel Mobile Metro notebook meets the following requirements: it is modern, supports allwireless network types and the latest mobile computing capabilities.
According to Roger Kay, the president of consultancy Endpoint Technologies Associates, for this concept, Intel used high quality resistant materials such as champagne-colored magnesium and decorated it with gold accents. 

In Ziba’s view, this notebook is like a jewelry.
Intel Mobile Metro has a diary-like folder attached to it via magnets, capable of wireless charging.

2. Compenion prototype is on the 2nd place because of its two OLED touch-sensitive displays from which one would be used as keyboard, while the other one as an additional display. 
Felix Schhmidberger wanted it to have a slider design and to serve as a series of docking stations.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

The home dock would have a projector for viewing videos, and the office would have an ergonomic keyboard for example. 
The multi-touch screen would be accessed with both fingers and a senstylus.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

This notebook could have many different functionalities and has a great look too but we had to put it in the same balance with the Vaio Zoom concept, and you will see why Compenion remained on this position.

1. For this beautiful glass display that becomes completely transparent when the laptop is not in use, the touch-sensitive keyboard that becomes opaque when not in use, and it’s extremely thin shell, the Vaio Zoom Holographic Concept notebook deserves the first position in top 10 coolest laptop concepts of all times.

Top 10 Coolest Laptop Concepts

We think that this concept is showing us how future laptops would look like, while the designer wanted to create something that satisfies the requests of people for a perfect designed notebook. 
Such a system would be extremely thin, the lightest, and would look exactly like in these pictures.
