Sony Creative Software announced a version 6 update to the Blu-print Blu-ray Disc authoring application and the brand-new Z Depth 3D subtitle offset editing application. As one of the first professional 3D Blu-ray(TM) Disc authoring products available on the market, the upgraded Blu-print 6 will be capable of authoring 3D titles in accordance with the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) 3D Blu-ray disc specification to greatly enhance workflow capability for production facilities and professional video editors. Blu-print 6 allows for easy import of MVC encoded content along with support of 3D menu graphics and subtitle graphics. 3D Blu-ray Java integration also allows for user interactivity like BD-Live. To assist editors creating 3D subtitles, the new Z Depth application generates the required offset metadata file needed in a 3D BD project allowing editors to more accurately and easily position subtitles when creating 3D Blu-ray Discs.
“With the home entertainment industry, consumer electronics manufacturers and consumers eagerly awaiting the introduction of 3D on Blu-ray, Blu-print 6 and Z Depth 3D subtitle offset editing application will enable editors and disc authoring professionals to provide a seamless 3D viewing experience for home audiences,” said Dave Chaimson, vice-president of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. “Given the precise balance of art and technology needed to produce 3D Blu-ray Discs, production professionals require powerful and specialized new tools like Blu-print 6 and Z Depth for Vegas Pro 9 to deliver content that exceeds the high expectations accompanying the excitement for 3D at home.”
As one of the first professional-level 3D Blu-ray disc authoring software systems available, the new features of Blu-print 6 will allow studios to author 3D content for the new 3D Blu-ray format standard Profile 5, import new MVC encoded streams, and work with Z Depth for 3D subtitle authoring. Designed for high volume professional production, the updated Blu-print 6 software will also include support for offset metadata integration required for 3D Presentation Graphics and 3D Interactive Graphics. 3D BD-J integration and 3D Blu-ray Disc cutting master generation is also supported in order to provide maximum intuition and flexibility for complex authoring projects.
The all-new Z Depth subtitle offset editing application uses the video power of Vegas Pro 9 to provide a combination that will allow 3D authoring companies to easily create required disparity metadata files for positioning of subtitles and IG menus in a 3D Blu-ray Disc production. New to 3D BD production, the Z Depth application will allow 3D Blu-ray Disc authoring facilities and subtitle creation companies to produce accurate subtitling in the 3D space that will allow for the most comfortable viewing experience. The BD spec offset metadata files created by the application can be used in any 3D Blu-ray Disc authoring application that follows BDA specifications Profile 5. There are no special hardware requirements for Z Depth, though it is highly recommended that editors use the Presonus Fader Port for data input. Vegas Pro 9 is required for Z Depth integration.
Long Zheng from the istartedsomething blog drew out attention to this Microsoft Research video showing a natural user interface based on a combination of pen and finger to enable a variety of interactions which would be much more difficult with either alone.
The features are being demoed on a Microsoft Surface, using an infra-red pen, but I imagine these features would work just as well on the elusive and mythical Microsoft Courier tablet or even some of the newer Windows 7 tablets.
See Bill Buxton, Microsoft Research’s main Natural User Interface evangelists and Principle Researcher, explain what its all about in a second video after the break, using a variety of Windows Mobile devices.
Metal detector is a very cool feature for any Android phone owner, and our very own HD2 can also do this. The HD2 application for this is a very cool, sexy, and functional app that gives the phone the ability to find your money that you lost in your house seats.

Current status of this app
This is far from finished, but as we both are quite busy at the moment, we’d like to share the current beta of this app.All gauges are fully functional. Clicking sound and vibration working too. You may turn them on/off using the corresponding buttons on the left.
To exit the app, use the lower right button.The camera button has a new meaning as of v0.2.0.0:
It enables a test mode, where sensor readings are simulated. Use the sliders to advance the main/aux gaugestodo’s we’re aware of:
– artwork needs final polishing
– sliders do slide but have no effect whatsoever, temporarily used for debugging
– screenshot (camera) button switches debugging mode (this will change in a final release)
– detection algorithm still crappy
– sound and vibration status not saved on exitTesting
Place your device flat on a surface. After starting the app, the gauge should show zero. If it doesn’t, take your device and write a couple of "eights" in the air (this is to get rid of magnetism which might get stuck in the sensors).
Then use a pair of scissor or something the like and move it slowly to the right side of your device. At a distance of approx. 5 cm. the gauge should start to move. Take your device and move it with its right side near metals, and see if the gauge shows values.How to recalibrate the electronic compass

Apple’s famous word processing application Pages has seen its first update of 2010, delivered as a touch-enabled little brother for the new iPad. But how does this version stack up to its OS X counterpart? After testing the app for almost a week, here are my thoughts.
Like other iPad applications, Pages is fast. Loading almost instantly, the first thing you’ll see is a Welcome document, ironically created in Pages itself. The My Documents is area where you’ll see all of your synced documents, accessible by flicking left or right. It seems like managing a large number of documents in this area could be cumbersome, so it will be interesting to see how Apple addresses this UI concern with future versions. There’s also options here for exporting documents to iWork.com or email, deleting documents and importing new documents.
Creating a new document is simple as well, though you are limited to 15 templates besides a blank document. I’m honestly surprised Apple hasn’t brought over the full arsenal of templates.
Navigating around Pages is quite simple. In portrait mode, you’ll have a menu bar across the top with quick access to My Documents, an Undo button as well as an Inspector, Media, Settings and a Full Screen option.
Cool Pages Tip: Tap and hold the Undo button to initiate a Redo.
Tapping the lighter colored bar beneath the toolbar will present you with a traditional ruler, justification options and options to make your type bold, italicized or underlined. Landscape mode is primarily used for creating content in your document, so the toolbar remains hidden.
The InspectorThe Inspector provides an additional method for adjusting alignment, support for columns (limited to 4) and line spacing (limited to quarter line increments). In this view there are also options for formatting lists and applying (but not redefining) the default styles for titles, headings and subheadings. This particular view also changes, depending on what content you are editing. For example, if you’ve tapped a table and then open the Inspector, you’ll see related options here.
Media BrowserThe Media Browser functions similar to the desktop version, showing photos and videos that have been synced to the iPad via iTunes. Unfortunately, none of my TV shows or movies were accessible through here, even the ones that aren’t restricted with iTunes DRM.
Options for tables, charts and shapes are included as well, allowing a user to select from a wide variety of default looks, then allowing them to use the Inspector to further fine tune them. Manipulating objects is very user friendly by just tapping and interacting as you would be naturally inclined to do. Tap two fingers on an object, pause and rotate your fingers to rotate an object. It’s simple.
Document Setup mode allows you to format your document with custom dimensions simply by tapping a margin and dragging it. You can also set watermark images as well as format the header or footer of your document. Unfortunately, documents are limited to a size of either US Letter (8.5 x 11) or A4 (8.27 x 11.69). There were no apparent options for adjusting the orientation to landscape.
Selecting text works the same as it does on Pages for the desktop, except you’re using finger taps instead of mouse clicks. Double tapping a word will select it while triple tapping will select the entire paragraph. In the pop-up menu, you have your usual options for copying the content as well as the option to copy the style if you wish to copy and paste formatting styles between areas. There is also an option to define the word you’ve selected.
Other options include a traditional spell checker which functions just like the desktop counterpart by underlining the misspelled word, allowing a user to tap and see a suggested replacement.
Contrary to original rumors that suggested the iPad would mount a folder and allow for easy syncing of documents, you have to sync specific documents to the iPad through iTunes. Undoubtedly Apple realizes that this process is quite cumbersome and hopefully future iterations of iTunes or iPad software will make this process easier.
Pages documents that you receive through Mail on the iPad or browsed via iWork.com can be opened, saved and edited within Pages. Conversely, documents created in Pages can be exported and sent via Mail or uploaded to iWork.com in addition to being synced back through iTunes.
Pages on the iPad is a great application, but it’s not without its share of missing features and limitations. Unfortunately, Pages is limited to a rather small collection of typefaces. While there’s still enough to create content that is unique, the lack of support for adding your own typefaces means Pages won’t let you easily move any document from your Mac and see the exact same thing on your iPad. In fact, you’ll get document warnings if you try and open a file that includes a typeface that your iPad is missing. This is an issue that Apple needs to address before people really begin to consider the iPad as “the laptop replacement.”
Additionally, more advanced features of Pages are missing. Here’s a quick list of some of the features that aren’t present.
Pages is a very functional app but for those who really wanted it to replace the desktop version, you’ll be desiring a more featured packed update from Apple. Originally I’d planned to use the mobile version to put the finishing touches on documents (if I’m on the go) but it looks like the best workflow is to create your documents on the iPad and apply finishing touches when you are back on a Mac.
One last little bit to note about this application, and everyone is mixed on this, but typing on the iPad keyboard, even in landscape mode is still awkward. Personally, I’m comfortable with the full size keyboard layout on my Mac and so I find myself aiming for certain keys that just aren’t there. I strongly recommend investing in the bluetooth keyboard if you’re planning to use Pages or any of the other iWork apps on the iPad.
Check out our gallery of Pages below. Have you used Pages for the iPad? What are your thoughts?

Windows Mobile 6.x has in recent years always been under the entertainment and devices division. With Microsoft’s increasing consumer focus the OS no longer fits in there very well, meaning a move was on the card.
On Wednesday David Wurster, senior product manager for Windows Embedded, announced that all of the ruggedized and industry-specific device development will be the responsibility of the Windows Embedded Business group, regardless of their operating system.
"We decided to make this move for a variety of reasons," Wurster said. "First, Windows Embedded’s strength and experience in building software for specialized devices make WEB the ideal group to lead the handheld terminal and ruggedized device space. Second, with the transition of support to WEB, Microsoft gives the handheld terminal and ruggedized device products a holistic roadmap across both platforms and into the future. MCB will continue to focus on the mobile phone needs of customers with Windows Phones."
Windows Embedded is expecting a new release based on Windows Mobile 6.5 optimized for handheld terminals and ruggedized devices, as well as a full roadmap with technologies from Windows Phone 7 and Windows Embedded Compact 7 for this market
It would be very interesting to see what the capabilities of this version of Windows phone 7 for the warehouse will be, given the need to maintain backward compatibility with existing enterprise software, and the much greater need to different form factors, sensors, accessories and features such as multi-tasking.

[Windows Only] Fizzik is a new web browser that is targeted to keep you updated with the social media as well as news and videos. The browser is built on Microsoft technologies.
Custom Channels : The Bing search is integrated into the browser by default. You can create custom Channels to categorize your common searches which sounds somewhat like the Google alerts to me. This will help you stay informed on all the top news as it appears on the map.
Video Integration : The browser has services like Youtube integrated so that you are always on top of the new ones. You do not need to watch videos on the web pages anymore. The video playback can be watched full screen on the browser itself. This will negate all the distractions while the video plays and ensures that you enjoy the video presentation solely.
Social Media : The browser promises to enrich your social media experiences above all. As it sounds they will also let you find “gems in your piles of status updates” maybe that means creating groups. Last but not the least the browser has got its own collection of built-in sharing options to help you share what you like.
The tool uses Microsoft .NET and Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5 build and is aimed to work on almost all Windows Operating Systems. While browsing Internet Explorer is used, and Adobe’s Flash player is used during video playback.
Demo : The demo video of this yet to release social browser Fizzik can be found on Youtube.
This tool is yet to release and hence its a tough call to hint anything about it right now. If everything goes as promised this browser is surely going to win my trust.

The state of Massachusetts has contracted with Boston-based EnerNOC (NASDAQ: ENOC) to employ its energy-tracking software systems to monitor 17 million square feet of state-owned facilities, using federal stimulus dollars set aside for energy investments, Governor Deval Patrick’s office announced today. The state has put $10 million toward what it calls the Enterprise Energy Management System project, which would use EnerNOC’s technology in its initial three-year phase to track real-time energy usage and target inefficiencies in 470 state buildings. The project is expected to add about 46 jobs in the state starting next month, and could save more than $10 million annually in energy costs once a planned second phase of the project is complete, the governor’s office said.

One notion that emerged at Xconomy’s event in San Diego last week was that biomedical informatics might have a promising role to play in the region’s economic future. There is no consensus on this as yet, as Luke discovered when he talked with Illumina CEO Jay Flatley.
Among the true believers is UC San Diego’s Lucila Ohno-Machado. No surprises there—since last year, she has been director of biomedical informatics at the medical school. Before arriving in San Diego, she was director of the Harvard-MIT-Tufts-Boston University biomedical informatics training program.
We caught up with her this week via e-mail to find out more about the technology, what it means for the U.S. health care system, and the role she sees for San Diego’s innovation community.
Xconomy: What is biomedical informatics?
Lucila Ohno-Machado: Biomedical informatics is a scientific discipline focused on the development of new algorithms and/or new approaches to organize, visualize, and interpret health-related data in order to promote health and alleviate the burden of disease. The discipline is placed at the intersection of health sciences, biology, computer science, and statistics.
San Diego is in a unique position due to the accumulation of human talent, high-tech companies, and a collective interest in improving healthcare for all. It has all the ingredients to become the number one biomedical informatics center in the country.
X: How is it different from computational biology, which we’ve also been hearing a lot about?
LOM: Computational biology usually relates to the development and application of algorithms and computational strategies to analyze biological data at the molecular level. In biomedical informatics, we develop new algorithms and systems that relate to the full spectrum of data: from molecular to individual to population levels. We often refer to bio-, clinical- or public health-informatics for algorithmic developments and strategies targeting …Next Page »

MedVentive is getting a big endorsement for its technology for helping healthcare groups use their growing volume of electronic medical data to save money and improve treatment of patients. The Waltham, MA-based software firm has tapped one of its largest new customers, Indianapolis-based Clarian Health, to help wrap up a $10 million Series C funding round, according to the company.
HLM Venture Partners and Excel Venture Management, both of Boston, led the third-round financing, which included investments by new backers Clarian Health Ventures and Core Capital Partners. Long River Ventures, a previous investor in the company, also funneled capital into the funding round. Nancy Ham, president and CEO of MedVentive, says that the company has now raised more than $18 million since the firm’s founding in 2005. The company first revealed the close of the latest $10 million round in an SEC filing posted on the Web in February, though it did not reveal the investors in the round at that time.
Clarian Health Ventures’s investment is notable because its parent organization, the healthcare provider Clarian Health, has recently adopted MedVentive’s software. Clarian Quality Partners, the firm’s statewide physician network, is using the MedVentive technology to analyze patient information for such uses as measuring the quality of care in doctors’ practices.
“I think the fact that Clarian did an investment as well as a commercial relationship is a great validation of our technology and our business plan,” Ham says. “Indiana is one of the most wired and connected states when it comes to healthcare information exchange, and that’s why we were particularly excited to be working now with the largest health system in Indiana.”
MedVentive’s Web-based software, which was initially developed at CareGroup Healthcare System in Boston, analyzes data from such sources as pharmacy prescriptions, insurance claims, and patients’ health records. The analyses enable healthcare providers and insurers to spot trends that can be used to improve patient care or reduce costs. For example, the software could alert healthcare organizations that a patient could be taking a more affordable generic drug rather than a branded treatment. Or, it could identify which patients frequently end up in emergency departments, indicating to their doctors that they need to improve the patients’ treatment plans to keep them healthy.
Ham says that healthcare groups’ desire to improve the quality and efficiency of their patient care has driven adoption of MedVentive’s technology over the past five years. Recent healthcare reforms in Washington aren’t hurting business either, she says. Medicare and other healthcare payers are moving away from the traditional fee-for-service model that pays doctors every time they see a patient, she says, to what is sometimes called pay-for-performance compensation, which gives doctors monetary incentives to keep their patients healthy and for providing quality care—rather than for the quantity of patient visits.
Investors see big potential returns in backing companies like MedVentive that have technology to measure the quality of healthcare. Boston-based Humedica, for example, says it raised $30 million in its first round of funding in 2008 to commercialize its Web-based analytics system that enables hospitals track quality of care, among other measurements.

I was just counting down for this to happen. With the growth of Windows Mobile, bound to try breaking the rules and make some hacks to invade our devices.
This virus is a very minimal virus to say the least. It does not do much, but it does cost money. The virus comes in a game called "3D Anti-Terrorist"—ironic isn’t it. When the application is installed, it also brings along a Trojan virus that uses your device to call some friends.
The virus is said to call people at midnight and people from different countries, so you pay those high prices. I cannot get why someone would do that, but maybe they own a company that makes money from using our device to make a little profit.
This is interesting. I was driving home the other night, had my HD2 plugged into the aux port on my car as I wanted to test what it was like playing music in the car. It was fine on the way over (and the day before), but on the way home every time ‘ABC – The Look of Love’ played, the audio would keep muting, I’d look at the phone and see it was calling the last number on my call list! What the he**!
Thank god I noticed in time, because if the other party (poss work related) had heard me singing along to that song I’d have been screwed.
I had no idea why it was happening at first, so I switched the phone on and off and it just continued to happen.
Absolutely ridiculous bug… what’s the solution to this??
And OP – thanks for bringing your issue to everyone’s attention, you’ve reminded me to put international call blocking on my account and a credit limit. If all it takes is a cheesy 80s song to dial UK mobile numbers, god only knows what a cheesy 90s song will do next.
Did you experience this on your device yet? Are you going to try it?

Today Apple added some excellent features to its iPhone platform, so we were forced to update our smartphone beginner’s guide chart. Here it is: More »
iPhone fans around the world will rejoice with the improvements coming in Apple’s iPhone 4.0 OS this summer. Support for organizing applications within folders, an improved Mail app and the new iBooks app are among the most notable.
FoldersMany have desired a way to better organize apps on their device. When Apple introduced the App Store, it also gave us multiple home screens. Organization got a bit easier with iTunes 9 which allowed for organizing home screens directly from within iTunes. Taking the idea even further, device-wide Spotlight made it easy for users to find apps no matter which home screen they were on, or even if they couldn’t be displayed because of display limitations. When iPhone 4.0 launches this summer though, users can also organize their apps into folders.
As you’d expect from Apple, the process is quite simple. Just tap and hold an app until it starts to wiggle, just like you were going to move its location. Then drop the app on top of another app’s icon and a folder will be created. The device will use the genre of app (Business, Games, etc.) to define the folder name, but this is, of course, changeable.
Allowing organization within folders will mean that users can now keep many more applications on their devices than before. In fact, Apple says that you could, in theory, store over 2,100 apps on the phone now.
MailIf there’s one thing that constantly seeing “Sent from my iPhone” has taught me, it’s that iPhone and iPod touch (and now iPad) users all love checking their email. The next version of the iPhone OS will bring some improvements to this much-loved app. The one I’m most excited about is support for multiple Exchange accounts (which is great since I have two at work).
Like Mail.app on the Mac, this new version will also support a unified Inbox, allowing you to see messages from all of your accounts in one view. It will also support threaded messages, making correspondence easier if you’re an email junkie. It’s also easy to switch between inboxes with “fast inbox switching.”
Finally, the new version will also allow you to open attachments that are associated with third-party applications.
iBooksThe success of iBooks on the iPad is unquestionable. With the iPad not even a week old and only available in the United States, Apple has announced that over 600,000 iBooks have been downloaded.
Just like it’s iPad cousin, the iPod touch and iPhone version if iBooks will allow you to browse and buy books directly from the iBookstore. If you’ve already been buying content for your iPad, all of that will sync up through iTunes to iBooks on your iPhone. In addition, your bookmarks and information on the last page you were on will be synced as well.
What do you think of these announcements? Some of these features may only be available to iPhone 3GS or third-generation iPod touch users. Is it time for you to upgrade? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Apple has just announced what’s new in the latest version of iPhone OS, version 4.0. The new version of the OS brings 100 new user features, but the stand-out features include multi-tasking and a new Game centre which closely matches X-Box Live in features. Other improvements include folders for icons, background wallpaper, a unified inbox, new enterprise features and Apple’s own ad network.
What is striking is how ambitious Apple’s scope for the new OS is, with many features clearly aimed to silence the company’s critics and provide new opportunities to increase revenue by encouraging sales of devices, apps and ads.
Of course the question arises how this is relevant to this blog. What is very clear is that many features which Apple added are the exact features which Microsoft gave up with Windows Phone 7, basically leaving Microsoft emulating the 2007 iPhone while Apple is preparing for 2011. In short, Microsoft’s great failing has been a major lack of ambition and confidence which has left them extremely vulnerable in the market.
Our advice to Microsoft – be much more bolder. Stop solving problems by imposing limitations, but rather look for creative solutions.
Do our readers feel iPhone OS 4.0 has changed the game so much Microsoft could never catch up? Let us know below.
