Hmm , i actually did get 15 minutes to blog so taking use of it , i decided to write on Dynamic Architecture who is being used to design the first ever Rotating skyscraper !
Firstly , lets get some wiki :
Dynamic Tower Information
Location Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Roof 420 metres (1,378 ft)
Floor count 80
Cost USD 330 million
Architect David Fisher
Developer Dynamic Architecture
What is Dynamic Tower ?
The Dynamic Tower (also known as Dynamic Architecture Building or the Da Vinci Tower) is a proposed 420-metre (1,378 ft), 80-floor tower in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The tower is expected to be architecturally innovative for several reasons. Uniquely, each floor will be able to rotate independently. This will result in a constantly changing shape of the tower. Each floor will rotate a maximum of 6 metres (20 ft) per minute, or one full rotation in 90 minutes
It will also be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper. 90% of the tower will be built in a factory and shipped to the construction site. This will allow the entire building to be built in only 18 months.
The only part of the tower that will be built at the construction site will be the core. Part of this prefrabrication will be the decrease in cost and number of workers. The total cost will be 23% less than a normal skyscraper of the same size, while only 90 people will work on the construction site. The majority of the workers will be in factories, where it will be much safer.
The entire tower will be powered from turbines and solar panels. Enough surplus electricity should be produced to power five other similar sized buildings in the vicinity. The turbines will be located between each of the rotating floors. They could generate up to 1,200,000 kilowatt-hours of energy from the movement of the floors. The solar panels will be located on the roof.
Construction of the Dynamic Tower, if built, is expected to be completed in 2010 :)
Here is the most amazing and "dynamic" video to show you the architectural details and the physical appearance and a little bit of physics has to be involved ;)
One more special thing , my friend told me about the about “Rotating City” urban concept and thanks to this link i can share with you all, which will be built anytime soon on an island in Abu Dhabi , Dubai.The Rotating City, also by High Rise RE, is a city project where every building rotates and faces different environments according to the owner’s wishes. At 10 million square feet, this city definitely has the closer look to Spaceport in Star Wars. The city will consists of 20 rotating building 300 revolving, floating and flying villas on the water, also able to rotate at wish. Inside the city there are also 5-star hotel tower with 300 rooms, 4-star hotel tower with 350 rooms and Attraction Park with an animation box, magic carpet, river adventure, conference room and wedding room.
I cant wait till 2010 ! This is yet another remarkable creativity shown by the architect , amazing how he thought about it , i even heard (not sure ) if there is a rotating tower in U.S.A. already but i aint sure , would be great if u inform me about that and yeah i hope this article was informative ! :)
I was just going through digg.com and i saw this , i actually dont know if its fake or not but this is totally awesome . Ha ha , this girl was like Bionic Woman LOL . Its most probably fake lol because its impossible to catch it at "that" height to be honest . Anyways watch this jaw dropping viral or maybe fake but as i saw " OH MY GOD , WTH " Video ! :)
What do you say ? ;>
I hope ya enjoyed it , Dont forget to drop some comments :P
P.s - I am busy with studies these days , i.e., 10 hours of study a day plus the transport which makes 11 hours outta home , so you can imagine how busy i am so please bare few posts !
A tribute to website of an interesting person called Jack Supit who changed how a blogger theme could be made with his creativity ( specially on of the gr8est theme ever : Iphone theme) and yes he has an incredible ability to be able to convert famous free wordpress themes to blogger themes and the best is Its all for F.R.E.E !
Theme i am using , ( appreciated by everyone who has seen my blog ) has been converted to blogger format by my friend Jack Supit and its actually an amazing ability which i adore.
Jack calls him a master of blogger not only because a does things so well , he calls himself master of blogger because he can dive into everyone of those blogger codes , and edit every template to match its style . He does get up to date with every blogger updates .
Now about his website :
He modified and glittered up his website days ago , and its very good . Specific links are given for blogger templates , making money by blogging , about me , etc . Which is very good for the new users who just came on his site . The website is easy to read , navigate , simple and easy to access . You can have whatever you want right there ! the bigger and important thing is he updates his blog daily or even multiple posts in a day !
I love the site actually , he has lots of funny posts and ofcourse astonishing blog templates !
Take a look at some of the features of his website stats :
* 1700+ Feed Readers * 140,000+ visits monthly * Millions of hits monthly * Pagerank 6 * Technorati Top 50
Cool , eh ?? - Yeah , he did it all on his own and he calls John Chow his inspiration ( but i think Chow is stupid (;
I am a blogger user , so i know how important it is to stay in touch with his website , as he has lots of tips and tricks in store for us !
Last but not the least , he has contest going on . So you can go and try your luck there :)
So as promised this is the second post of the day and its a BIG news for Opensource buffs . If you didnt notice there has been a small reminder about Opensuse Download day ( its still at the bottom of the blog ) . So as requested by some of my friends , open source wouldnt be left far behind . I am not the opensource expert so here is how the website itself describes its feature.
Here are some worthy and some upgraded Features :
GNOME 2.22
GNOME users will find a lot to like in openSUSE 11.0. openSUSE’s GNOME is very close to upstream GNOME, because Novell and openSUSE want to do as much work as possible in the upstream release. However, we do modify GNOME’s artwork to provide a unified look and feel for the distro. The default GNOME configuration, such as panel layout, is slightly different than “stock” GNOME, and the openSUSE GNOME team backports a number of bug fixes into our GNOME release to ensure stability and the best possible GNOME experience.GNOME 2.22 in openSUSE 11.0 includes the GNOME Virtual File System (GVFS), with better support for networked file systems, PulseAudio for better sound management, improvements in Evolution and Tomboy, and much more!
KDE 4.0
openSUSE 11.0 is the first openSUSE release to include a stable release of KDE 4.0. This release includes sweeping changes in the KDE desktop, and represents the next generation of KDE. This release includes a new desktop shell, called Plasma, a new look and feel (called Oxygen), and many interface and usability improvements.
KControl has been replaced with Systemsettings, which makes system configuration much easier. KDE’s window manager, KWin, now supports 3-D desktop effects.
KDE 4.0 doesn’t include KDEPIM applications, so the openSUSE team has included beta versions of the KDEPIM suite (KMail, KOrganizer, Akregator, etc.) from the KDE 4.1 branch that’s in development and scheduled to be released in July.
Note that KDE 3.5 is still available on the openSUSE DVD for KDE users who aren’t quite ready to make the leap to KDE 4.
Compiz Fusion
The openSUSE desktop is not only a green glorious sight to behold, it’s also available in 3-D! Compiz Fusion is now the default in openSUSE 11.0. You’ll find a slew of interesting Compiz plugins, as well as easier configuration with Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) and the more comprehensive CompizConfig Settings Manager that allows detailed configuration of your Compiz setup. See the Sneak Peek for a detailed look at Compiz Fusion on openSUSE 11.0.
Firefox 3.0
Firefox is one of the most popular open source applications on the planet, and the openSUSE desktop just wouldn’t be complete without Mozilla Firefox. The 3.0 release has a number of new features and improvements that will make browsing the Web on openSUSE convenient and safe, including better site identification features, simplified add-on installation and management, detection of “phishing” sites, the ability to save tabs on exit, better download manager, and a new page zoom feature that lets you zoom text or the entire page.
Note that openSUSE 11.0 ships with Firefox 3.0 beta 5, and updates to the final 3.0 release will be available through online update.
Banshee 1.0
openSUSE 11.0 includes Banshee 1.0. The Banshee media player has been re-written to improve performance and includes many new features, including video playback, better “shuffle” playback, support for iPods, MTP devices, and mass storage player devices, and support for podcasts and better Last.fm integration
OpenOffice.org 2.4
You can work hard and play hard with openSUSE. If you need a high-quality office suite that’s Microsoft Office compatible, look no further than Novell’s OpenOffice.org 2.4. This release includes import support for OpenXML, 3-D transitions in Impress, SVG import support, improved performance over standard OpenOffice.org, and better Excel support and VBA macro support.
NetworkManager 0.7
NetworkManager has been vastly improved since 10.3, and now includes support for multiple network interfaces and UTMS and EV-DO cards.
So here were some of the great features of Open Suse 11.0 . After doing some internet analysis , people are rating it as the best Open Suse ever . Well , lets wait and see afterall its an open source programme : They either get destroyed or get the popularity only few paid programmes could ever receive.
Note : Screenshots and more coming together ( its already 11:30 in the night ! )
And last but not the least you can download it from here :
Firstly , its been a month of technology and Internet news and all . First it was Iphone ( ! ) now it was Firefox and the big tech news don't stop coming !
I just noticed a BIG "needed " change in Youtube some minutes ago and i thought that i should blog it ;) . Just incase you have left youtube due to lack of graphics and a stupid homepage , think again my friend !
Remember its just for the users who are logged into Youtube via your Youtube account or your Gmail account.
Note : If you arnt able to see the screenshots properly , please click to enlarge :)
In the above picture you can see the pointed arrow showing the customizable Youtube button and all the extras included + the new cool glossiness ;) .
The newly added features include :
Glossiness
Neatness
About me section
Inbox section , it also shows you if people replied to your comment or not
About the uploader's video section
About the videos , subscribers ,etc
Well placed tabs
So here is that new Customize Youtube Button : You choose whatever you want to see in your front page , just like your very own Igoogle :]
Nice thinking Google !
Talking about nice thinking from Google , talk about the all new Recommended Video Tab . I love Dragon Ball z , so it recommended my some great Dragon Ball Z videos which i am enjoying while posting this ;P
Well the featured posts are also there but i liked the old featured Videos tab because now we cant take that featured tab to the bottom of the video making some of the best videos go unnoticed and yeah dont forget the updated and better looking promoted video feature :)
Thats all for now , so start the all new and afresh Y and Keep Enjoying your favourite videos !
After months and months of hardwork by the developers of the firefox 3 , finally the Firefox 3 Stable version has been put of for public download . I have been tracking all the news i can get for the past few weeks and have noticed the dominance and crowd support for Firefox 3 . I have used all the Firefox beta and Release Candidates and i am suprised how they change one thing each time they upgrade , well i am very excited and yeah its undoubtedly the best Web Browser till date . But then hey , dont forget the IE 8 beta ;)
Download the Official Firefox 3 (stable) version from here :
Lets take a look at some of its features :
Password Manager
Remember site passwords without ever seeing a pop-up.
One-Click Bookmarking
Bookmark, search and organize Web sites quickly and easily. Improved Performance
View Web pages faster, using less of your computer’s memory.
Smart Location Bar
Find the sites you love in seconds—enter a term for instant matches that make sense.
Instant Web Site ID
Avoid online scams, unsafe transactions and forgeries with simple site identity.
Full Zoom
See any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds.
Platform-Native Look & Feel
Browse with a Firefox that’s integrated into your computer’s operating system.
Make your browser as efficient as you can imagine. Your browsing history (all the websites you’ve seen) and your bookmarks (all the websites you’ve saved) are archived in the Library, where they can be easily searched and organized. You can also save your frequent searches in dynamic smart folders that automatically update as your bookmark list and history grow.
Tags
Label a site with names or categories that are meaningful to you. For example, you can label the site www.bbc.co.uk with the “news” tag as well as the “foreign investments” tag, plus give www.nytimes.com the “news” tag, too. When you enter “news” into the location bar, both sites will be shown as results. A single site can have multiple tags, and there’s no limit to the number of tags you can create. You may not remember the exact name of a site, but with a tag, you’ll be able to find it in a way that makes sense to you.
Smart Location Bar
A quick way to get to the sites you love—even the ones with addresses you only vaguely remember. The new Firefox 3 location bar learns as you use it—it’s so highly evolved that we like to call it the “Awesome Bar”. Over time, it adapts to your preferences and offers better fitting matches. Type in a term and the autocomplete function includes possible matching sites from your browsing history, as well as sites you’ve bookmarked and tagged in a drop down. For example, you could enter the tag: “investments” to find “www.fool.com”. Matched terms are highlighted, making the list of results easy to scan.
One-Click Bookmarking
Manage your bookmarks a lot or a little. One click on the star icon at the end of the location bar bookmarks a site. Two clicks and you can choose where to save it and whether to tag it. File bookmarked sites in easy-to-access folders and organize according to theme (like “job search” or “favorite shopping”). Find your bookmarked sites in a flash by entering the tag, page or bookmark name into the location bar. The more you use your tags and bookmark names in the location bar, the more the system will adapt to your preferences.
Smart Bookmark Folders
These dynamic folders give you easy access to your favorite sites and can be placed in your Bookmarks menu or Bookmarks toolbar. We’ve included some for you as defaults, including one that shows you the sites you visit most frequently (create your own by saving your searches in the Library). Return to top
Security & Privacy
Instant Web Site ID
Want to be extra sure about a site’s legitimacy before you make a purchase? Click on a site favicon for an instant identity overview. Another click digs deeper: how many times have you visited? Are your passwords saved? Check up on suspicious sites, avoid Web forgeries and make sure a site is what it claims to be.
Anti-Malware
Firefox 3 protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, you’ll receive a full-sized browser message as a warning. A continuously updated list of attack-sites tells us when to stop you from browsing, so there’s nothing for you to update or maintain.
Anti-Phishing
Shop and do business safely on the Internet. Firefox gets a fresh update of web forgery sites 48 times in a day, so if you try to visit a fraudulent site that’s pretending to be a site you trust (like your bank), a browser message—big as life—will stop you.
Parental Controls
Enforce parental control settings you’ve entered on Windows Vista with Firefox 3—stop unwanted downloads and more. Firefox’s intuitive design keeps you from second-guessing your setup.
Anti-Virus Software
Firefox 3 integrates elegantly with your antivirus software. When you download a file, your computer’s antivirus program automatically checks it to protect you against viruses and other malware, which could otherwise attack your computer. [available in Windows only]
Add-ons
Firefox looks for a secure connection before installing or updating add-ons, 3rd party software, and Personas.
Password Manager
We’ve seamlessly integrated this feature into your surfing experience. Choose to “remember” site passwords without intrusive pop-ups. Now you’ll see the “remember password” notification integrated into your view at the top of the site page.
Clear Private Data
Clear your private data automatically—with just one click or a keyboard shortcut. Your info is gone for good—on your own computer or the one at your local library. It’s that easy.
Customized Security Settings
Control the level of scrutiny you’d like Firefox to give a site and enter exceptions—sites that don’t need the third degree. Customize settings for passwords, cookies, loading images and installing add-ons for a fully empowered Web experience.
Automated Update
Our open-source security strategy lets us find—and fix—security issues in record time, making Firefox the safest way to surf. Install upgrades when you receive automatic notification or wait until you’re ready.
Pop-Up Blocker
Banish pop-ups (and pop-under windows) from your surfing experience once and for all. Or, find a happy medium—choose to view blocked pop-ups or create an “allow” list of sites whose pop-ups you’re okay with seeing.
Add-ons Manager
You can now find and install add-ons directly in your browser. You no longer need to visit the add-ons Web site, simply fire up the new Add-ons Manager. Not sure which add-on is right for you? Ratings, recommendations, descriptions and pictures of the add-ons in action help you make your selection. The fully integrated Add-ons Manager even lets you view, manage and disable third-party add-ons in a few easy clicks.
Over 5,000 ways to customize
The sky’s the limit with a growing library of over 5,000 Firefox Add-ons, little extras you choose to download and install for a browser that works your way. Manage online auctions, upload digital photos, see the weather forecast in a glance and listen to music all from the convenience of your browser. There’s no need to open a new window or tab for each task. Discover add-ons that help you streamline coding and Web development, like Firebug, which lets you look deep into the structure of a web page.
Browser Look & Feel
Dress up your browser as you like it. With themes, choose a darkened control panel reminiscent of a space ship, faux wood paneling, or hundreds of other unique looks to surround your surfing. With Personas, add a simple, lightweight “skin” to your browser in an instant. (Personas is a Mozilla Labs project.)
Beyond Add-ons
Add-ons are the cornerstone of customization, but adapting Firefox to suit your style doesn’t stop there. You can add new search engines, change toolbar preferences, display different sizes, shapes and styles for your browser’s navigation buttons and more. With additional preferences, you can specify a Web mail client, such as Gmail, to open up when you click on an address from a Web page or set up a news reader application for the blogs you encounter.
Platform-Native Look & Feel
The new Firefox looks and feels like home. Think of it as a Firefox who’s really good at making friends. Whether you use Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac or Linux, the browser seamlessly integrates into your computer’s environment. A native look makes for a flawless interface that never gives you pause.
Feed Reader
You can read feeds using an online Web service, a client-side feed reader or by creating a Firefox Live Bookmark. So there’s no need to comb the Web for the latest news and updates. See the latest headlines in the toolbar or menu and go directly to the articles that catch your eye.
Download Manager
An all new manager lets you download seamlessly, with even greater security. A pause and resume feature means there’s no need to wait for a download to finish before you disconnect. So, if you’re halfway through the latest White Stripes album and it’s time to catch the bus, just pause and pick up downloading when you get home. The resume function also works if your system crashes or is forced to restart. The manager shows your download progress and lets you search your files by name or the Web address where the download came from.
Spell Checking
A built-in spell checker lets you enter text directly into Web pages— like blog posts and Web-based email—without worrying about typos and misspellings. Work directly with the Web and save yourself a step.
Session Restore
If Firefox unexpectedly closes, you don’t have to spend time recovering data or retracing your steps through the Web. If you’re in the middle of typing an email, you’ll pick up where you left off, even down to the last word you typed. Session Restore instantly brings back your windows and tabs, restoring text you entered and any in-progress downloads. Restart the browser without losing your place after you install an add-on or software update.
Full Zoom
Visit your favorite news page and read the caption under the picture—or view the picture itself in a size you can see. An elegant new zoom feature lets you swoop in and see entire web pages. They scale in the way you’d expect them to, with all the elements of a page’s layout expanding equally, so you can zero in on what matters.
Image Loading
If you want to save time and bandwidth, view a site without images. Firefox will remember your setting the next time you view the page.
Smart Keywords
Search the Web in record time with smart keywords. With a few clicks you can assign keywords to search engines, and then simply enter your key and search words in the location bar. With this feature, typing “book home building” can search Amazon.com, and take you right to books about home building without ever pausing at the homepage.
Search Suggestions
Start typing in the search bar and it will prompt you with a drop down of filled-in suggestions, plus you can use the search bar as a calculator, converter and more.
Integrated Web Search
Searching the Web is a breeze with the search box inline, just to the right of your location bar. Use the web engine of your choice to search by typing directly into the box. The width is adjustable so you can make it bigger if you need more space.
Hundreds of Search Engines
Access your favorite search engines quickly from the integrated search bar. You can use a new engine for each search, or stick to your favorite. Choose from a preset dropdown list of engines or select “manage search engines” from the same list to browse search engine options offered as add-ons. Check out your choices now.
Find
The find feature appears in a keystroke. Search for a word or phrase on an open Web page. Highlight text before using the feature and finder opens pre-filled with your selection. See all instances of your search at once, or scroll backwards and forwards through the appearances of the word on the page.
Tabs
Save on Exit
Now when you open Firefox, your tabs and windows look just like they did when you closed it down. No need to reopen all your windows each time you start a session.
Tabs
At first glance, they look like little labels living above the site you’re currently visiting. But they are a brilliant way to browse multiple sites at once. Simple and easy, you can think of them as the electronic version of a well kept filing cabinet, with the tabs as the dividers and the sites as the content kept in folders. Each new site appears as a new tab (not a new window) and can be accessed in one click.
Reopen Closed Tabs
If you accidentally close a tab, you can reopen it in one click. Just view Recently Closed Tabs in the History menu and select the tab you’d like to reopen.
Drag & Reorder Tabs
Get your sites in order. Simply arrange the order of your tabs by dragging them in one swift move of your mouse.
Smooth Scrolling
Like to have all 20 of your favorite pages open at once? An elegant new feature lets you scroll through tabs easily to see them all and access the one you want quickly.
Universal Customization
Go beyond translation and experience the web in a way that makes sense to you. Local developers who know what’s best for their community have customized your Firefox browsing experience with local dictionaries, search providers, live bookmarks and Web feeds. Depending on where you live, you’ll see things like BBC headlines tailored to your region or experience features that work with Baidu, the Chinese search engine.
The Language of Firefox
Firefox speaks your language like no other browser on earth. Because the Web is a worldwide resource and we believe that resource belongs to the people, we’ve made our browser available in as many local languages as possible. We have over 40 different translations, from French and Chinese to Finnish and Czech. Find your language. Emphasis on Accessibility
By minimizing keystrokes, allowing users to zoom in on Web pages and supporting screen readers, Firefox is that much easier to use for those with mobility disabilities and visual impairments.
Improved Text Rendering
Read your language as it’s written—more like real life. With a new graphics engine, Arabic, Persian, Punjabi and other script languages now render in a remarkably seamless way.
Improved Memory Management
With all new management functions in place, Firefox 3 keeps memory usage under control. The XPCOM cycle collector continuously cleans up unused memory. Plus, hundreds of memory leaks are now remedied.
Faster JavaScript
Firefox now empowers even greater Web development, with JavaScript 1.8—including expression closures, generator expression and array reduce.
Smaller Memory Footprint
Short and sweet, Firefox now uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running.
Faster Page Load
A redesigned page rendering and layout engine means you see Web pages faster—and in the way they were meant to be seen.
Graphics Engine Improvements
Improved text rendering is just the beginning of the benefits of an all new graphic engine for Firefox 3.
Advanced Graphics
You have to see it to believe it. The rendering of text and graphics, including SVG and Canvas, is faster, sharper and more true-to-life than ever before, thanks to our new graphics engine.
Online Application Support
Expand the power of Web-based applications. In the past you’d click on an email address in a Web site and your computer’s default email application would open up to send a message to the linked address—even if you never email through the program. Now you can choose a Web mail clients (like Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo! Mail) to launch when you click on that email address.
Support for Advanced Web Technologies
Brand new and enhanced functionalities enable Web site authors and developers to create advanced content and applications. Support is now available for CSS, ACID2, MathML, ECMAScript 4, Animated Portable Network Graphics (APNG) and Microformats, to name a few. See the full list of supported technologies.
Color Profile Support
Photographers and photo fans, your view of the Web from Firefox just gets better. You can choose to enable top-of-the-line image display which uses technical data, like the amount of light available and relevant distance information, to render images in an amazing new way . Offline Browsing
Take your computer offline and still have information at your fingertips. Certain enabled sites may allow applications—like your Web-based email—to stay with you at all times. Many sites are not yet configured to work with this feature. Learn more about what works and what doesn’t.
Live Support
We have Firefox experts waiting on stand-by to help you with questions that simply demand a live person and a real conversation. Now you can chat with knowledgeable Firefox community members who troubleshoot via our live chat site. You won’t be put on hold or have to wait for a response—solve your problem on the spot.
Firefox Support
Help is right where you would expect it, as well as a few places you might not. A link at the top of your browser takes you to a support site with the answers you’ll need. Want to dig deeper—or have a really tough question?
Firefox’s support website has a searchable knowledge base of articles, plus forums and tutorials full of solutions and tips for a better experience.

IGoogle Change Layout : As its name suggests , it surely doesnt do much but yeah u can change the layout and yeah it was very essential for aperson like me who hated those layouts :( . So what does it that it Changes iGoogle containers layout. You can add to the tab drop down menu three icons with the possibles containers layout. Plus you get a black background ;)
Customize Google : This script completely customizes the classic Google homepage. Accordigng to the developer : You must fill in the first 3 lines of the script with the specified information for the script to work. See comments for complete details. It replaces every place on Google that says Google with your name. Also it replaces the "I'm feeling lucky" text, the G in the Gmail link to your first initial, and a few other things. I will update this script whenever the layout changes on Google, so check back regularly.
This is one gem of a Script and dont dare to miss this one ;)
Google Skin : Yes this can definitely pimp your Google Search like anything ! I just love its 3D effect and yeah i cant use Google Search without this Addon . This also includes tons of modified features and icons !

Sorry fellow readers , i have been busy with my studies lately and same is expected to go on , but i wont stop posting and telling you all about what's up in the world of internet ( with respect to the current post ) . So here is another breathtaking application i found : Its called :
So starting with the features , Animoto does the following :
Here is what Animoto says about itself : Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever.
Sharing these videos is easy too. You can easily embed them onto your website and blog or onto social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail them to friends and download them to your computer.
Technique used by Animoto : Animoto uses patent-pending technology to analyze your images and everything about the selected music -- its structure, genre, energy, build, rhythm -- before developing a blueprint for the motion design of your video. The remaining time is spent rendering your video, using a giant farm of computer processors to custom-generate 15 new images per second for your final video.
Here is how you create your video
Click "Create Video" from the set of buttons in the upper left to begin.
Your first decision will be whether to make an Animoto Short (a 30-second video) or a full-length video (extended length video).
(Video shorts are free for everyone and you can make as many as you want).
Animoto will then walk you through the three steps required to create a video.
1) Get your images,
2) Get music, and
3) Finalize with details.
Actually there are millions of people who already are doing this and its remix is out of the world . I am so glad its free and yeah just check out what i made :
The video has Dragon ball Z Random Pictures on my Computer's drive and A song called " Highway to heaven " - LZ synched . It's so easy to do actually , and the end result is spectacular . Now those who wanted to show people some of their photos with a music background : Its actually a blessing for them because you can embed the video in any popular website we know , ie. ,Myspace, youtube ,Facebook,IGoogle and Lots more !Another upcoming feature is that you can convert your Animoto-d video into an Ipod video or burn it to a disc ! ( thats what i see ).
I am about to Import it to Youtube and Gonna keep it forever ... Why shouldn't i ? It's my first Video :)
Why dont you all try ? and if you do , Dont forget to Paste your Link here !
Yes you saw it right , Youtube has finally gone Interactive with this super duper Interactive Card trick video ! Actually its about a man who has lots of cards and he wants you to memorise and the " Interactive Part " about this card is that you can actually click INSIDE THE VIDEO SCREEN !! Cool , right ? i found it awesome and yeah then you can pick a card and like all magicians he acts like a psycho :| . Leaving that aside , i see this technology growing faster than E-mail spams in a few weeks . Finally Youtube made a Step Forward !
Sadly that Youtube Video doesnt allowing embedding so sadly you can see it here but anyways here is the link :
