New Web App Lets You Create Hyperlapse Videos Using Google Maps Data

UX design company Teehan + Lax has rolled out yet another jaw-dropping web app that lets you create spectacular hyperlapse videos out of Google Maps data.

Hyper-lapse photography is the technique used in creating such stunning videos, which requires a great deal of time and precision to stitch time-lapse photos and sweeping camera movements together -- something that's extremely hard to perfect.

But the guys at Teehan + Lax had managed to make the job simple. Using only Google Street View data as source material, aided with the right tool available, they were able to come up with a very usable, fantastic Google Street View Haperlapse creator.

Google Street View Haperlapse Lets You Create Amazing Journeys (link)

Google Street View Haperlapse is very straightforward to use. All you have to do is to search for location and move around any two transit points in Google Maps, and wait for a couple of seconds until your hyperlapse video gets played. There are also a number of featured trips that are really cool.

Mozilla's Popcorn Maker Lets You Enhance, Recreate Existing Videos from YouTube, Vimeo

As with the conventional Google Street View, you can also pan around the view during hyperlapse video playback. Controls, however, are minimal; there's no way to adjust animation frame rates, and the hyperlapses are a bit faster especially if you span much longer distances from point A to B.

But yes, this experimental app has a GitHub page and so you're free enhance and experiment with things such as custom frame rates.

Google Street View Haperlapse is built with Hyperlapse.js, Three.js (r57), a modified version of GSVPano.js, and Google Maps API v3. This app also requires WebGL and is best viewed in Google Chrome.

Best & FREE Alternatives To Otixo To Manage Multiple Cloud Storage Accounts

Otixo is absolutely one of the best productivity web tools out there that web workers use almost every day.

For the uninitiated, Otixo is a file management web service that gives you a consolidated view of all files stored across multiple cloud storage accounts such as DropBox, Google Docs, Box, MobileMe, among others, thus making it easier to manage all your files stored in the clouds.

One awesome use of such file management tool is you can easily free up some space on your DropBox or Google Drive in just a matter of copy-pasting or dragging your files to another virtual drive (e.g. SkyDrive).

Cloud Save Is The Quickest Way To Download, Backup Files Straight To The Cloud

But just as any other online services out there, Otixo cannot offer the service for free forever. Which means you’ll have to spare about $3.99 - $4.99 for the monthly paid subscription in exchange of “premium” features and better cloud support.

And for those who don’t want to spend a single cent to enjoy such service, I've got you here three decent alternatives to Otixo which offers almost the same level of convenience at no cost -- as in FREE.

Best Web-based Alternatives To Otixo To Manage Files Stored In The Clouds

How To: Browse, Access Your Photos From Your iPhone, iPad To Your Computer Over Wi-Fi

If only iPhone had the option to attach multiple images all at once for a single email message, then, I wouldn't take the moment to look for apps similar to Software Data Cable, which I absolutely fell in love with for my Android.

Yes, there's no way for you to attach multiple files for a single email message on the iPhone. So for people who constantly need to send photos from iPhone to someone, this can be a pain.

Transfer Large Files Between iPhone and Other iDevices Over Existing Wi-Fi Network

Part of my job as a web ninja is to grab iPhone/iPad screenshots of websites we developed and send them off to our QA guys. And the process cannot be any simple: you've got to plug in your iPhone with a cable to your computer -- and that's so primitive, less cool.

Thankfully, there is this tiny iOS app called Wi-Fi Photo Transfer (FREE) that lets you transfer photos from iPhone to your computer without the need of a data cable.

Wi-Fi Photo Transfer: Access Your Photos Via Wi-Fi From Any Computer With A Web Browser (link)



Wi-Fi Photo Transfer makes it easy to access, browse your iPhone photos from your computer so long as both devices are of the same Wi-Fi network.

Here's how it works:

1 Download and install Wi-Fi Photo Transfer HERE.

2 Once installed, launch the app. You should see something like this:

3 On your browser, plug in the given web address (e.g. http://192.168.0.106:15555)

4 That's it! You can start moving your photos from your iDevice to your computer (you can even download them in zip).

Sure, Wi-Fi Photo Transfer interface definitely needs a face-lift but it's free and gets the job done quickly. If you want to wirelessly transfer your photos from your iPhone, iPod or iPad to your computer, well, then Wi-Fi Photo Transfer is what you need.

Coffitivity: The Ambient Coffee Shop Noise App to Enhance Your Work Creativity

Undeniably, we all have our individual reactions to background or ambient noise when we study, work on our computers, or just doing some paperwork.

Some like quiet spaces. Some like music in the background. The most amazing ambient noise that some react to however, is the ambient noise from a coffee shop.

'Coffitivity' Promised To Boost Your Creativity By Producing Ambient Noise Of A Coffee Shop (link)

Coffitivity is a creative web app that gives you the ambient noise generated by a coffee shop straight to your work area or headphones to boost your work creativity. The app even allows you to play your music in the background of the Coffitivity ambient noise. You also get to control the volume of the ambient noise, your music, or just use one or the other.

This all is actually backed by some true scientific studies. Many studies have been conducted on this subject by universities and social scientists (the most recent one released by the Journal of Consumer Research). The common findings in the studies reveal that ambient or background noise does play a key role as a variable when studying or doing work that may affect creativity. A moderate amount of ambient noise (50 to 70 dB) enhances performance and creativity. However, high levels of background noise (85 dB and above) is distracting and makes learning and working difficult. On the other hand, almost complete lack of noise levels (below 45 dB) may enhance understanding and focus, but does not improve creativity.

New App 'PowWow' Seeks To Revolutionize The Way We Collaborate Online

Based on this study, it would seem that some social scientists, after studying the effects of different types of ambient noises, found the mixture of calm and commotion in a coffee shop environment to be the best ambient noise for enhancing creativity.

Coffitivity was developed by Justin Kauszler, Nicole Horton, and Ace Callwood.

The developers of Coffitivity do have their comments and warnings. For instance, the app might not work for everybody since, as mentioned above, we react differently to different ambient noises. Some coffee shops are quieter than others so this again might affect our brain’s reaction.

Access, Manage All Files Stored Across Multiple Cloud Accounts All At Once

The best tip we can offer for Coffitivity users is to set the volume just right for the kind of ambient noise you are used to. Try also a mix of music and Coffitivity and experiment with different volume levels. The thing is, this beats going to a coffee shop everyday just to enhance study or work. You get to make your own coffee if ever you are using the app in your home.

WIN Remote Is Your Swiss Army Knife In Remote Controlling Your PC With An Android Phone

Buttonizer Gives You Cleaner and Neater Viewing Area by Turning a Toolbar Into a Button (Firefox)

Many who alternate between using Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox know that the latter always comes with many toolbars. Unfortunately, as more toolbars and extensions are used, Firefox can become cluttered, so your viewing area for webpages become less and less in time.

A Firefox extension called Buttonizer solves this problem.

Remove, Uninstall Browser Extensions, Toolbars All At Once – For Chrome, IE and Firefox

If you use small screen PC, you can get more space in your browser with Buttonizer without having to hide the toolbars from view and without sacrificing the viewing area. This Firefox add-on converts a complete tool bar into a simple button on the address bar.

How it works?

All you need to do is download and install Buttonizer from the Mozilla add-on site (link). Once installed, you will need to restart Firefox. After this, you will see Buttonizer as a button on the right side of your Address bar. All you need to do is to right-click on it and then select which toolbars can be converted to a button.


Once a toolbar is selected, it becomes hidden. When you mouse over the Buttonizer, you can access the hidden toolbar again.

Lazarus Is Your Time-Saving Chrome Add-On That Saves Anything You Type On A Web Form

However, you can only set one toolbar at a time to a button. When you right click the Buttonizer button and select another toolbar as a button, the previous toolbar will revert to normal. The advantage of this app is that you no longer need to click so many buttons just to retrieve a hidden toolbar on the browser. The app works sort of like a button shortcut.


According to its developer, Byungwook Kang from South Korea, Buttonizer works great if you are using a small screen such as from a laptop or netbook. The next step for Kang and Buttonizer is adding multiple button support.

Must-Have: Recover All Items Stored On Your Clipboard with Ditto (Windows)

So you copied something, a photo or a tiny line of codes perhaps, and out of carelessness and itchy happy fingers, you accidentally copied another. And then you realized you need to re-access those previously copied items. And so you begin to wonder: is there a clipboard history, or a temporary folder where all your copied items are saved?

If you’re on Windows and you don’t have any clipboard manager installed, there is not such a way to recover those previous clippings. The notorious Windows’ clipboard only holds one item at a time. New items will permanently delete the previous one.

Add Multiple Tabbing Support To Windows File Explorer With Clover [Must Have]

Not Until the arrival of clipboard managers -- an extremely useful group of applications that can save you from any computer disaster like sudden shutoff, system crashes, etc. And here, I’m going to share you one of my favorite: Ditto.

New App 'PowWow' Seeks To Revolutionize The Way We Collaborate Online

Almost everyone knows how Google Docs works and how multiple users can work on either single or multiple documents at the same time. Now, wouldn’t you want that same capability on other applications? However, you know that is not going happen.

Until now.

How would you react if you found out that a brilliant group of programmers has created a screen share application wherein two users can work on a single application such as Excel or Photoshop? Amazing, right?

Working On Shared Projects? ToodLedo Helps You Get The Job Done FAST

This is the essence of PowWow. It is a very simple application that allows two users to work on an application at the same time, taking turns with their own mouse pointer. The design is for complete collaboration and not just screen broadcasting like that from Google Docs.



PowWow has been proven for such tasks as sharing Google Chrome to write an e-mail together, sharing a Photoshop task, sharing web-coding reviews between two web developers, or sharing paired programmer tasks. In short, PowWow feels as if you are working with someone just sitting beside you, even if the other user is a continent away. So far, most applications can be used on PowWow.

Access, Manage All Files Stored Across Multiple Cloud Accounts All At Once

For the present, PowWow is a beta available only for Mac. A version for Windows will be available very soon. For now, the official site is requesting people to sign up for an e-mail listing so they can be informed later when the Windows version will be out.

Because the Mac version of PowWow is still in Beta, the official site is giving caution to users should anything unusual or unpredictable happens, and to inform the makers by emailing them.

SoundSlice Teaches You How to Play Guitar Fast By Syncing Guitar Tabs With Video

Soundslice is a web app for those people who seriously want to learn how to play the guitar without learning to read notes.

Many guitar players today, especially those still in the learning process, cannot read sheet music. They learn by using available guitar tabs or transcribing the music themselves. Arrangements, solos, chord changes, and small licks are done by transcribing music using tabs.

How To: Create, Add Links To Already Uploaded Videos On YouTube

Transcribing music can be a weary process. Some write on sheets of paper, while those with a computer create a lame text-file tab. However, since the transcription is not recorded, when the player goes back to what was created, he has to play the original recording just to get the phrasing and sense of timing.

Unfortunately, in this age of great technological creations, no one seems to have figured out a way to playback a transcribed guitar tab file. Oh, sure, there’s Guitar Pro, except it plays back in lousy MIDI format that cannot play the actual guitar sounds.

Mozilla's Popcorn Maker Lets You Enhance, Recreate Existing Videos from YouTube, Vimeo

Now, many musicians doing transcribing and tablature often wonder in this age of the Mars Rover why no one has found time for computers and the web to mate and produce an online collaboration for a web application for guitar players.

Just recently, Adrian Holovaty and PJ Macklin, programmer and designer respectively, and both guitar players, created Soundslice. This web app allows you to sign up for free, loop, and annotate guitar videos from YouTube.



Soundslice is not hard to use:

1 You just need to create an account with YouTube that allows you to annotate, create tracks, locate licks, make chord charts and tabs, and be able to slow down the video while annotating and looping.

2 Go to SoundSlice and add a track using the "+" button on the lower left side.

3 Select a part of the video using the timeline and click the "Annotate" button that shows up when you hit the "a" on the keyboard.

4 Keep repeating the process until you complete the synced collection of annotations.

5 If you get lost over something, just click the “Help” button on the upper right side for more interface details. You can even create using keyboard shortcuts.

ThrowMeApp Brutally Makes Your Android Device Useful Again

The title says it all. Yes, anything is possible with technology these days, even if it does border on the somewhat risky or foolish.

ThrowMeApp (pun is intended to catch people’s attention, get it?) is used to take aerial pictures of you and your friends. This is a new aspect of app photography you can explore so long as you are willing to take the risk.

Recover, Restore All Deleted/Lost Photos On Your Android Device

All you need to do is to throw your Android compatible device (such as the new Samsung Galaxy series of phones) up in the air and catch it when it comes down.

ThrowMeApp Takes Aerial Pictures When You Throw Your Android Device in the Air (link)

Here's how ThrowMeApp goes:

• Turn on the app and throw your Android phone up in the air. It will take a photo at the highest point and when facing down.
• The app needs lots of light for good pictures. So the app works best outdoors on a clear day.
• The key to taking good pictures is throwing the phone in such a way that the screen is facing upward.
• ThrowMeApp adapts to the way you throw and will eventually improve timing after a few throws in the same manner.
• No professional ever gets it right the first time, so you need to practice your throws.

Warning: The user alone is responsible for the phone and preventing it from breaking or hitting people.

What makes ThrowMeApp amazing is that it takes really clear pictures without the usual motion blurs associated with high speeds.

ThingLink: Make Your Photos Interactive By Embedding Videos, Music, Text or Another Images

ThingLink is an app that will bring new life to your photos.

But no, this is not the boring Instagram-like type of app where the fun ends up with photo filters.

ThingLink is a provider of image interaction tools. It uses free tagging tools to give photos new life by using sound, voice, social media, and other fun links.

Slide.ly: Turn Your Instagram, Flickr & Facebook Photos Into Stunning Video Slideshows

Imagine your pictures becoming stories in themselves. For instance, an ordinary high school graduation class picture comes to life when you embed the names of each single person in the photo complete with profiles, where they are now and what they are doing in life after, say, 20 years. What a way to make a great online yearbook!

Make Your Images Come Alive With Music, Video, Text, Images (link)

The ThingLink app makes everything online that can be embedded come to life on any image. Streaming media, music videos, social profiles, facts and figures, surveys, documents, and even statistical graphs can be enabled for any picture you choose. The pictures you choose can be anything from educational photos for your classes to your own Facebook vacation pictures. Here's a demo:

You can go beyond creativeness to invent interactive greeting cards, posters, wedding, and birthday invitations. You can also spice up boring profile images, family pictures, maps, and even fashion shoots.

YouTube-Powered VeedList Lets You Create Custom YouTube Playlists

ThingLink is an app that can make people think, laugh, cry, or just smile just from viewing ordinary pictures.

All you need to do is to go to https://www.pbs.org/newshour/adlibs/, log in to your Facebook account, and just follow the instructions on the PBS Newshour site. It is that easy.



While doing all this, you can even stop at various sections of the video of your choice and insert any Facebook posts or photos you want to insert. You definitely control the ad’s template all throughout.

On the learning side, you get to see just how political ads are made and the rigid guidelines these ads follow. As it turns out, the application does not allow you to make attack ads against anybody on Facebook except yourself.
