Link your mobile to your Mac with Glide

turn your cell phone into a macGet ready to glide down the street when you have your Mac documents synced up to your mobile device ready to edit wherever you are.

Glide Sync and Glide Mobile are ready and willing to give Mac users access to view and edit files that are stored on your homebound Mac using phones from Blackberry, Nokia, Palm, Motorola, and more.

Glide will automatically sync photos, music, videos, documents, iCal's, Mac Address Book, Safari, Camino and Firefox bookmarks using Glides hosted web service. Users can compose or edit documents, accessing them later on a Mac. Photos can be edited with standard image tools, files can be sent via a .mac email address with no size limits, and supposedly multimedia websites can be created from cell phones.

There are many different Glide plans, from a free account with 1GB of data, to a "Family premium package" with 8GB for $149.95/year.

Photobucket flash video editor

photobucket video editingPhotobucket is set to make an announcement that will allow users of its personal media management service -- which stores and shares images and videos -- a way to utilize flash to edit video's online.

The free service is said to be open in beta this month to premium customers, and rolled out to everyone in March. The web based video editor will be timeline based and allow users to mix photos and videos stored in Photobucket with captions, soundtracks, and effects through a drag and drop interface.

Photobucket allows users to upload photo and video content to create interactive collages, scrolling images, slideshows, animated image stamps, share video clips, and buy prints. This new initiative will most likely see its approximately 35 million current users increase drastically to see if the flash based video tool can benefit them.

Clean up your images with Tourist Remover

tourist remover
You're on vacation, you snap some pics of a nice monument and building, and some snaps of your family in front of the monument and building. When you arrive home to download the pics, you notice to your dismay that there are a bunch of people in your picture. Just standing beside your family. What do you do?

Get SnapMedia's Tourist Remover, that's what you do! The trick is: you are required to take a bunch of pictures of the background location of where you are shooting. The less going on in the picture the better. So try to get it with as few people as possible. Try to keep the lighting the same as well. All you have to get started is sign up, and upload your images. SnapMedia's system will handle the image manipulation.

I have yet to try this app out, but it sounds pretty cool if it really says what it does. If anyone has any experience with SnapMedia's Tourist Remover, drop a line in the comments and let us know if it really works.

[Thanks Mike]

Cbreak: Easily remove commercials from AVI files

CbreakCbreak is a tiny open source app for Windows that makes it easy to remove commercials from TV shows recorded as AVI files. How it works is this: Cbreak divides the video into segments according to where black frames appear. Then it has two modes: In automatic mode (or "autonomic," if you want to get fancy) it will toss out any segments shorter than 60 seconds (or some other length of your choosing). In manual mode it plays each segment for you and you can choose whether you want to keep it or not. It has a lot of command line options, including—I kid you not—special modes for skit shows like Saturday Night Live.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
