Prefab: App That Will Revolutionize Softwares To Becoming Open Source   Have you ever thought of being able to manipulate Apple iTunes while processing documents on MS Word? This may not seem an impossible idea, as researchers from UW (University of Washington) have already been working on a particular IT project that will allow open sourcing of all proprietary software. Apple and Microsoft may not expose everything but the fact that both are generating programs for pixel resolution on screen is a good start for manipulating their programs and has them open source. Each screen display is composed of blocks of codes that are prefabricated and seen time and again every 20 times in one second or so. The analogy is explained by the professor as compared to the HTML. We can all see the HTML, he said. But seeing it on the desktop may seem impossible. A certain web page may show the Google map, or a video from You Tube but creating those similar stuffs using standard computer programs is a hard task to accomplish. The UW professor Fogarty and a computer science and engineering doctoral student, Dixon has for two years been on the works on this Prefab. Prefab's main program is said to be already done. But developments are still in the process for additional options as well as for commercializing Prefab. Dixon stated that the concept behind Prefab is for the user to be able to use a personally preferred program and still be able to incorporate features from another program, therefore providing a user interface that is fused and cohesive. Prefab, mainly does not work on a program's source code, because it cannot see the codes from the proprietary software. It only does manipulation and combination of component seen on the screen. Check out this video.. From examples shown to illustrate how Prefab works particularly on a video that utilizes pointing techniques for target awareness or focus. The partners showed a bubble cursor that may be sized to dynamically include and capture the nearby object. Instead of clicking on a button, the user is allowed to just work the bubble cursor within the button surrounding area. This is one application that is definitely advantageous to disabled individuals. Prefab can basically add the bubble cursor to any and all applications. It is done by copying the pixels straight from the source window. On April 14, Prefab is planned to be presented at the Computer Human Interface conference in Atlanta.

Iron Man 2 DVD Torrent Download Links Floating on the Web [Fake]   For those who are overly excited with the Iron Man 2 movie trailer release and have already found the torrent links to download from the torrent websites, here is an update: The copy of Iron man 2 Movie floating on the web is completely FAKE!  Iron Man 2 movie trailer was released few weeks ago and people are definitely waiting in anticipation to watch this movie. Unfortunately, some spammer from his own world uploaded 700mb movie file with the name Iron Man 2(2010)DVDRip.Xvid, and definitely he tricked a lot of people into downloading. I found out these copies in Thepiratebay torrent tracker (it is removed now) with the FXG tag (One of the best torrent uploader). Of course, expecting Iron man 2 download links before the official release of the movie (On may 7th) is simply ludicrous. Quite a few numbers of copies have been added anonymously onto the torrent trackers and my guess is, they'd be cleaned up in no time. So, anyone who is downloading Iron man 2, please do not do it! One of the reason being its a fake copy and the other, which is quite obvious, is never encourage or support piracy. Of course, we are not asking you to wait for the Iron man 2 download links to be available on torrents. We stick with the basic motif of: Buy the DVD

The Best Among all iPhone Applications..iPhone TV   A specification for transmitting live multimedia content using HTTP was submitted by Apple to the IETF during the onset of the year. This led to the public's suspicion for a new live video protocol for iPhone and iPod gears. And so, the live streaming protocol for HTTP was conceived through iPhone's OS 3.0 version that made iPhone live video applications even better. And speaking of live streaming applications, the iPhone may also be used for watching real-time television if you have gone tired of recorded movies and clips. The iPhone has actually a lot of live TV selections to offer its users. Majority of these TV applications are best watched using Wi-Fi, some may or may not work using 3G. Watching TV Channels From iPhone One major concern in watching television program on iPhones is that it is an effective way of draining your battery but nevertheless, there's really something vital in watching a TV program, most especially when you could not possibly access a real television set and you are dying to watch a TV broadcast. With the iPhone at hand that can be used as portable television, there's not a single broadcast that you'll miss. Every men and even some women love the game of football. And if you specifically love to watch the Norwegian Football, if you are Norwegian or understand the Norwegian language, then tune your iPhone to a free TV 2 Sporten app. This iPhone TV application is filled with up to the minute news report and game status and scoring updates. Not only that, but this TV 2 Sporten also features a section for live video showing goals made by players plus other important highlight. Norwegians are not the only beneficiaries of the iPhone TV application, even French people can enjoy the iPhone's television live streaming and definitely not only the French because France 24 Live on iPhone broadcasts news and highly demanded video streaming not only in French but also in English and Arabic translation via Wi-Fi, 3G and Edge. However when watched via Edge, videos may be quite of low quality and may sometimes freezes. The netTV is offered on the iPhone either as free or paid. This allows global access to 200 channels. Quality may vary per channel. Though not exactly a TV, Worldview provides access to live streaming camera captures all over the globe. It is an interesting alternative entertainment for travelers to keep them from getting bored.
