More often than not, individuals need some idle activities to spend time in vacations such as one can browse and capture photos or videos; but how wonderful it seems if one can add some value to these videos and make them memorable. The ability to record and edit some short video can make vacations enjoyable and can become a great alternative of spending time on useless activities.

Apple iPad 2 belonging to Apple carries some features necessary to make vacations charming such as email, Skype, plan travels and high definition video (HD) shooting and editing. 10 inch touch sensitive screen of Apple iPad 2 is tremendously supportive for viewing and renovating homemade casual videos.

In addition to super quality camera, Apple iPad 2 features iMovie app (costing $4.99) and video programs such as ReelDirector and Splice to convert casual vacation videos into mini blockbuster movie that one can proudly upload to the Facebook. Editing is possible in many ways up to one's personal choice. Individuals can trim the clips as well as tap to add videos and photos after shooting a video. Videos appear automatically in iMovie so that it can be edited. Eight built–in themes are also available in Apple iPad 2 iMovie to provide an unforgettable look to anyone's vacation videos. Some of these themes are powered by amazing titles, transitions and playback soundtracks.

The downside of the Apple iPad 2 is that if someone wants to perform editing tasks on video or photos taken from some other device and imported to iPad2; it will result in disappointment. Such videos need to be converted in iPad2 supportive format after import.

GigaPan & GegaPan Time Machine allows snapping through time and space via Google Chrome

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 01:05 AM PDT

GigaPan is a part of Global Connection Project aimed to explore the world on earth as well as other planets. It supports in depth research of various distant objects through capturing images. GigaPan is a collaborative effort of Carnegie Mellon University, NASA Ames Intelligent Systems Division and Google.

GigaPan is exactly a high resolution camera with the capacity of catching high density images in gigapixels. The working of GigaPan is identical to Google Maps. GigaPan needs three technical components to work properly:

  • Robotic camera of tremendously high resolution of gigapixels and even above gigapixels, capable of capturing high density panoramic images.
  • A software that can make these captured images keenly observable upon zooming. This software performs some necessary techniques and processes upon the gigapixel panoramic images to renovate them, due to which viewers are able to examine every minute aspect of the image by zooming.
  • A website to host, search, explore share and comment on these high density images. All types of images can be uploaded on the website of GigaPan.

One short coming of GigaPan is that it can capture only still images. Recently, the GigaPan team has made a marvelous technical enhancement to this still camera, and makes it capable of recording videos. This new creative advancement has been named as "GigaPan Time Machine". This time machine needs HTML5 and some other advance web technologies to work. The time machine therefore, requires Google Chrome web browser as Chrome supports HTML5 and provides a browsing experience without crashing frequently.

GigaPan Time Machine features gigapixels high resolution camera with extremely high fps rate (frames per second). The camera of the GigaPan Time Machine captures photos of the object under observation at regular time intervals and joins these photos to create a high resolution video. As there are billions of pixels in every frame and uncountable number of frames that a time machine can capture in one second (i.e. fps) therefore; the viewers can view the video by pausing and zooming it without losing the resolution quality. At the same time it enables viewer to view every minute detail of the object under observation over a long time span. For example via this GigaPan Time Machine growth of a plant can be observed over a long period of time at explorable resolution with all important growth stages. The page "Chrome Experiments" on the website of GigaPan contains some demonstrative videos for the viewers uploaded by developers of GigaPan Time Machine. That's why GigaPan Development team claims that GigaPan Time Machine allows you "to browse through time and space".

The 1,000 mph car outperforming a bullet speed

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 12:37 AM PDT

1000 mph is a superfast speed that can outperform a bullet, sound speed and a jumbo-jet fighter. An object moving with 1000 mph speed disappears as fast as on blinks one's eye. Is there any object moving at this 1000 mph land speed in reality? Yes, it's Bloodhound SSC, a latest upcoming amazing super sonic sedan by British company in 2013. This British company has another aw-inspiring record of breaking the speed of light for the first time, by developing jet-powered Thrust SSC.

Bloodhound SSC

Thurst SSC featured 750 mph, a historical land speed and leaded the previous record of land speed in the history by 130 mph (almost 20 percent boost in existing speed land speed). SSC Thrust for the first time exceeded the sound speed.

The same British team is considering making a new record of 1000 mph by 2013 with creative production of "Bloodhound SSC car". This speed will cause around a 31 percent increase in Thurst SSC's land speed record.

The body of Bloodhound SSC will be 12.8 meters in length, 2.8 meters in height and 6.5 tons in weight. The car features a turning circle of 120 meters amount. The body is really admirable.

The car will be powered by a wheel of 100 kg having 900 mm diameter. A critical question regarding the speed of car is how the car will get this superfast land speed? To meet the target the car will be carrying two propulsion machines, three engines, a special purpose rocket, EJ200 jet engine. All these things produce 133,000 horse power at an aggregate level. F1 engine located at the back side of car supplies the 50 kg fuel to rocket in one second. The jet engine and rocket produce 45,000lbs of thrust by combine effort, which is fair enough to propel the car from zero to 1000 mph. In the whole process the car burns 1.5 tons of fuel.

The car consumes horrible amount of energy. One can imagine that it needs an equal amount of energy during 10 miles drives, needed to lighten Singapore Grand Prix night-event for merely 20 minutes.
