TechNama

Previous day I noticed an interesting BlackBerry Storm app by Tafasa. This cool application PatternLock offers an interesting and fun way locking of your BlackBerry Storm.

Here is how Crackberry blog gives its intro:

The lock screen shows 9 dots in a 3×3 grid. Before using PatternLock, you define what your lock pattern will be. The next time you see the lock screen, you trace your finger in the pattern you defined before and your device will unlock. Any other pattern and in any other order will not unlock the device. The application allows you to either use the default wallpaper or to pick a different background image stored on your device. You can even set it to autolock the device whenever you turn it on. You can also set it to autolock when the device is inactive for a time period of your choosing.

This application does not replace normal locking mechanism of your Storm.You can assign this application to a hot key for easier access. Its icon is always there on home screen pressing which will lock your phone with your defined patterns. [ Note: if you intend to use the autolock feature, you should disable the built in BlackBerry automatic password lock as it will still lock your device (even if automatic PatternLock is enabled).

So be creative as you can to make difficult patterm and obviously don’t be predictive else you will like you have wasted some 2.99$

Here is the screen shot. If any of you have tested it; do share your comments with us.

When we launched TN, i made this point that we will keep our users updated about our progress. Many bloggers refrain from doing it but since we believe in mutual benefit of everyone, it will be good to share our success story with our readers. For this purpose, we created a special category titled “TechNama” where we track our performance with our readers.  We wrote our first post when we had 100 blog posts and today i am writing another post since its been two months that we are here on the blogosphere.

I am proud to announce that TechNama beat all the expectations in the second month of its launch and we are really thankful to our readers for their trust and confidence in our abilities and for appreciating TechNama with their frequent visits. Below are the details.

Google PageRank for TechNama: 4

First of all our biggest achievement is that we got a Google PR of 3 in the first month of our launch. We were too excited about it when we suddenly noticed that our Google Page Rank has further improved to 4 from 3 in the second month of our launch. This is a very big achievement for any new blog site.

Total Number of Blog Posts: 181

A total of 81 quality posts were made at TN by our dedicated team members. This is 19 short of our monthly target of 100 posts.  The total blog posts have reached 181.

Total Comments and Pingbacks: 315

A total of 214 comments and pingbacks were approved on TN

Total Unique Visitors: 43,214

Total unique visitors at TN is 43,214  as of June, 2009. This is approx 400% higher then our last month unique subscribers. We are expecting this growth to reduce in the coming month but still we expect the growth to be in triple figures.

Total Pageviews: 173,000

Total Pageviews at TN for the month of June, 2009 stands at approx 173,000. This is remarkably higher then our target of 130,000 for the month of June, 2009. The Pageviews have also shown an increase of 330% from the previous month. We expect it to grow in the coming months.

Traffic Source Overview:

Traffic source is always a very important indicator for any website. Below is the traffic sources for TN

# Search Engines 18 %
#Referring Sites 60 %
#Direct Traffic 21 %
# Other 1 %

The increase in traffic from referring sites show our authority. More and more sites have been referring to us and hence we are getting increased traffic. I must mention here that one of our post made to the Delicious Most Popular Page and stayed there for the whole week. That is one main reason the traffic from the referring sites showed such a remarkable increase. However, our focus is to increase the traffic from search engines and bring it to 30% in the coming months.

Average Time on Site: 1 min 55 sec

We have slightly missed our target of keeping the average time on site above  2 minutes. But still it is close to it and we will try to improve it in the coming months inshAllah.

Max Visiting Browser: Firefox

Firefox still remains the first choice of our readers. The second most used browser to visit TN is Internet Explorer and Google Chrome stands at third. I never expected Google Chrome to come to occupy the top three spot in such a short time.

Top Country by Number of Visitors: USA

USA tops the originating country of our readers.  The second is UK and the third is Spain. The other five countries on the list are Canada, Vietnam, Hungry, France and India

Ads Revenue by TN: ???

As  usual! Do you expect me to reveal this information? I will keep it private. Anyways, i must tell you that Google Adsense is our primary source of earning. We are still playing with Chitika and we also made our Customized Advertisement page beside applying for Technorati Media. The response is not very encouraging from other sources of advertisement. I must mention here that we got few offers from individuals and other websites who were interested to advertise on TechNama but the offered rates were very low and hence we rejected them. We are still not very much eager about customized ads revenues. Once we start getting adequate traffic, we will focus on this segment of ads revenue. Till then our primary focus is on increasing the Quality Blog Posts on TechNama.

Concluding Remarks:

Since this was the second month of our operations, this remarkable increase was very much expected. However, the growth percentages are expected to come down in the next few months. However, we will try to keep it growing till we don’t reach our goals.  I will share just one component of our goals with our readers here i.e Total Unique Visitors of 150,000 per month. We will update our goals once this goal and the related goals are achieved.

Thanks to our team and our readers for their constant support. In case you have any questions or comment, please feel free to share it with us.

Riken and Toyota Motors has developed a new signal processing technology for brain machine interface (BMI). At the occasion Japan’s research laboratory Riken researcher Choi Kyuwan displays a prototype electric powered wheelchair controled by his brain-wave analysis data in Tokyo.

I always hate to buy new batteries for my gadgets and i want something that is self sustaining. In other words, by nature am an eco friendly person. I have always been wondering which communication system to carry with me which will be self sustaining and won’t need a large number of batteries when i go on my tracking expedition.  The problem has recently been solved when i came across a Wind Up Walkie Talkie system. The Wind Up Walkie Talkie system is powered by dynamo mechanism so you can use your muscles to charge your Walkie Talkie. One full charge can power the radio for 1 hour 30 minutes of talk time and 8 hours of standby time. The Walkie Talkie has a good range and can work upto 3km. Some other features include an LCD display, 8 channels and a 6V mains adapter which can be used to charge wind up Walkie Talkies via the mains as well.

Walkie Talkie Specs

* 3km range
* 8 channels
* LCD display
* Full power: 1.5 hours talk time and 8 hours standby
* 1 minute wind: 2 minutes talk time and 10 minutes standby
* AC power adapter included for mains charging

The Eco Friendly Wind Up Walkie Talkie System is available for $75 approx

If you think that the security of the e mails might be compromised, sending encrypted mails will definitely come to your rescue as it will add an extra layer of security to your communication. For this purpose, i have long been looking for a free service. Today i came across a website titled Secrets (beta) that offer you a web based e mail encryption service for free.

Secrets is very simple to use service as it requires two steps registration process and then let you send your encrypted mails. However, you need to have a Google account to avail this service. The Google account will serve as your registration account on Secrets. It took me two minutes to register and send my first e mail using Secrets DES 64 bit algorithm encryption (default).  Users can increase security by adopting stronger algorithms, such as:

* Triple DES (128 bit)
* AES-Rijndael (up to 256 bit)
* Blowfish (up to 448 bit)
* ArcFour (up to 2048 bit)

How it Works:

Secrets is easy and secure. Here is how it works:

1. You compose a secret message
2. You set a password
3. You send the message indicating the e-mail address of the receiver

The receiver will get an e-mail with a notice. He follows the link,
enters the correct password, and will be able to read / store / forward / print the message.

Screen Shots of TN Test of Secret:

Below are the two screen shots of the sending screen and the receivers screen. The receivers screen is yet to be decrypted. Click to enlarge the image.

Lately we have been seing lots of great games for storm and to be open all of them are getting better and great. Most of them (which I have seen) range from $0.99 to $3. The newest game i have seen recently for Storm is Hangman by Tafasa. This classic word game is only for Storm. With a library of over 2900 words, this one/two player game has multiple categories and three difficulty modes and more. the gameplay itself is awesome and gets you engaged for more than hours if you really want to kill your time during travel or waiting for meeting.

Here is a screenshot and you can buy it on crackberry shop. I could not find it on handango although there are hangman games but by other developers. If any of you find an appworld link please do paste it for oter readers. Thanks!

If you want to check your website or blog for spelling mistake, your traditional spell checkers will not be very helpful. Spell checkers installed in Microsoft Word and Wordpress etc only identify spelling mistakes and typos while you are writing the post. Once the post is published, you can not check for errors on the published page. However, SpellO helps you solve this problem as it will find out spelling mistakes and typos in the websites whenever you browse them.

The SpellO program is written in C# language and it uses two other open source products:

1) NCrawler: http://ncrawler.codeplex.com – A well-designed flexible web site crawler. Ncrawler supports crawling and extracting multiple file types.

2) NHunspell: http://nhunspell.sourceforge.net – An open source Spell checker program that is used by google and mozilla browser. Nhunspell supports multiple languages.

Currently the program only supports HTML and its future enhancements include support for pdf and other file formats.

You can click here to  Download SpellO

I am wondering how i missed this interesting app until now. Imagine when you just walk away from you notebook (with your mobile phone in your hand or in pocket) it locks automatically and when you come back it unlocks by just sensing that you’re back. This is possible by an intelligent software that makes use of blue tooth technology to lock/unlock your system.

Phoenix Freeze works on Vista and XP locks/unlocks with any blue tooth enabled phone. obviously your PC also needs to have blue tooth facility. All you need to do is install this freeze software on both the PC and your phone (currently it supports iphone and BlackBerry). Go through a few settings, and you are done; simply when you walk away from your PC with your device it will lock up until you return. You can configure a “safety zone” or distance before it locks. You can walk away knowing your data is safe. When you return it unlocks and you can continue working. There are options either you want to lock or hibernate.

This comes in handy for better security, as well as better power consumption. So if you forget locking your PC while going outside to attend your personal call, you won’t have to worry about locking your PC manually or putting it into standby. You can download the Phoenix Freeze by clicking here. Also check out the Freeze video available on their site.

Unfortunately for me I could not set it up as it gives me a weired error saying that I am not online and the software wanted to activate itself. Anyways if any of you happen to test it do send me screenshots so i can update this post. You can send me at mansoor (dot) ehsan (at) gmail.

Disney, in partnership with Asus, is set to launch a new netbook called Disney Netpal that will be targeted at kids ages six to 12 and will come with features such as parental controls and a customized Disney user interface.

“This is not a toy,” says Thompson Richmond, director of consumer electronics for Disney Consumer Products. “It’s a real product with features that you can put safely into the hands of kids.”

Design & Features:

• It just happens to come in pink, with lacey curlicues and a big Disney logo right in the middle. The $350 netbook will be available in August.

• The Disney netbooks are rebranded Asus Eee PCs so if you are familiar with the Asus look and design, there’s a sense of deja vu with the Disney Netpal.

• The Netpal will be available in two colors: “blue for boys and pink for girls.” The pink is a Pepto-Bismol pink and has floral patterns on the netbook cover, while the blue is more muted.

• The keyboard is built to be “spill-proof,” says Richmond, and the corners of the netbook have been reinforced to ensure it doesn’t crack easily.

• The netbook has a 8.9-inch display
• Wi-Fi connectivity
• Option of a 160 GB hard drive or a 16 GB solid state drive.

In terms of hardware alone, there’s little to distinguish the machine from its peers. In that respect Dell’s latest netbook targeted at kids, which has a rubber-like case and an anti-microbial keyboard, surpasses the Netpal.

Here is how Wired reviews the latest disney offering:

Where Disney hopes to score over rivals like Dell is in the user experience. Like most netbooks, the Netpal runs Windows XP Home, but it offers two modes on start up: a standard desktop, which turns it into a run-of-the-mill netbook, and a Disney desktop option, which is where all the action is.

The Disney desktop mode allows multiple profiles to be created and the profiles can be customized with icons from the Disney stable such as Mickey Mouse or Snow White.

In the Disney desktop mode, the netbook includes programs such as Disney Pix, a software application that lets users customize photos; Radio Disney, which endlessly belts out music from Taylor Swift and Jonas Brothers; games; and a customized Disney browser.

There are also Disney desktop themes, with choice that ranges from Cars to Hannah Montana.

Boxee is a truly amazing media center app to fulfill all your needs. Boxee has earlier been released in private alpha edition for Mac and Ubuntu but now Boxee has formally released public alpha for Windows as well. Boxee is open source and provide one stop solution to all your media needs. Once installed, it scans your hard disk and index all the available media content in its interactive platform. Not only the media available on your hard disk, it also provides a wide variety of media items from the internet to its users.

Boxee has been defined in the following words by their official website:

Boxee is a free, open-source software platform that integrates personal media with Internet media along with social networking. boxee’s social networking component allows users to share information about what they’re listening to or watching with other Boxee users or friends on social networks like twitter, facebook, etc.
Boxee is designed for your TV and use of a remote control. To get Boxee on your TV you’ll need to first connect your computer to the TV screen. You will most likely need an DVI/VGA to HDMI cable (but it depends on the specific input/output on your computer and TV).
Boxee is based on the Award winning open-source project XBMC, and also incorporates the XUL framework (which is the basis for the Mozilla browser).

I won’t go into the details of what Boxee is capable of since the below embedded video provides all the details and our readers can easily learn the  amazing features of this apps from it.

However, the public Alpha version has some limitation as of date. The Boxee team is encouraging the feedback from the users so that they can improve the application accordingly. Below are some of the limitations as found out by PC Mag team in their hands on of Boxee.

As much as I liked its smooth design, I found Boxee’s interface annoyingly difficult to navigate on my PC. After I clicked into a video (“Stand” by Rascal Flatts), it took me a few minutes to realize that I needed keyboard shortcuts to get back to the main screen–or to cycle through the main menu again.

Video playback is the main event on Boxee, but it wasn’t as stellar as I had expected. Playing videos seemed to bog down the system; when I moved the mouse, the video would pause or stutter. Likewise, trying to play video in the background while searching for more apps caused the entire platform to run slower. Of course, if you contented yourself with using Boxee as a TV replacement, the multitasking issues would vanish

To download Boxee, you have to first sign up. Click here to sign up and  downloaded Boxee Alpha. Do give it a try and let us know of your feedback. Do you think it will take over as the future of  tv?
