A week and a half until my first attempt at the new version 3 voice lab and my studies have progressed well over the past few months despite being very busy with work. I also believe taking some time off after my last failed attempt of the V2 lab was a good decision. [...]

Word clock: tell the time with words
[drj113] posts his cool word clock. After seeing a similar clock on an industrial design website, he set out to make his own version. He made custom pcbs with the toner-etch method. The front is a solid piece of copper clad board and the light shines through the etched areas. It’s powered by a PIC microcontroller and uses approximately 120 ultra bright LEDs. [drj113] has all of the circuit board diagrams, silkscreens, etch negatives, and code on the intructable so you can build your own.

Lunascape, triple engine browser
Do you install more than one browsers on your computer? Some people run more than one browsers. They use such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari.
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome all use different rendering engines. The software that figures out how to process the code of a web site and display it for you. Like me, sometimes I use Firefox as my favorite browser, but sometimes websites do not work then I must switch over to another browser. Now, you don’t need multiple browsers because Lunascape has released an alpha version of its Lunascape browser. Lunascape is…

Facebook Launching New Audio Product?
There are four primary types of media: text, audio, video, and photos, however Facebook has yet to introduce a product which enables users to share audio content. One of our readers has noticed that the insights area includes an “Audio” section under media consumption. It has been there for a while and is even referenced in Facebook’s help section however it doesn’t make sense because there’s no product currently linked to this and no data is showing up.
Does this mean that Facebook will soon launch a stand alone audio product? I sure hope so! There are currently a number…

You Can Now Access All Your Facebook Content From Tweetdeck
Earlier this month Tweetdeck announced that they would begin integrating the full Facebook stream into their widely used desktop application. The new version of the application has now gone live and you can view your entire news feed and then implement filters which limit the content to status updates, wall posts, photos, videos, and custom groups of friends. That means your Facebook feed will now sit right next to your Twitter feed … talk about content overload!
Rather than having to log in to Facebook to find out what’s going on with your friends you can quickly filter through TweetDeck…

Jolicloud OS seeks to move past browsers
Jolicloud is a new Linux based operating system aimed at netbooks. The developers were nice enough to let us get our hands on their closed development version of the new OS. This distribution is built off of Ubuntu Netbook Remix(9.04 Jaunty Jackalope). At first glance it looks like nothing more than Ubuntu with a new skin, but the difference is deeper. Jolicloud added an App Store type program that offers installation of web applications along with traditional desktop apps. Using Mozilla Prism, web based applications like Facebook, Gmail, and Wikipedia are installed, get their own icon in the launcher,…

EDuino – Arduino or AVR breakout?
We’ve had a lot of requests in the comments for more Arduino centered posts so we were happy when [Njay] told us about his EDuino board. This is a minimal Arduino clone that has a crystal and it’s capacitors, a pull-up resistor and button on the reset pin, and a detachable serial programming connection. He also has a breadboard-friendly version seen above with all the interface pins on one side of the board. This is certainly a useful project and we’re glad to see the board files available for download. This does get us thinking… is this an Arduino,…

Armored Camera is Tough Enough For The Job
If you have put a lot of effort into your business, the last thing that you want is to see your hard earned assets stolen by a criminal. Business owners tend to choose surveillance systems to help them.
If you are thinking about installing surveillance cameras, the law generally dictates that you have to inform people that they are being watched in this way and therefore cannot have the element of surprise by hiding cameras from the view of criminals. However, to make sure that they cannot damage them easily and disarm them, armored cameras are now becoming very useful.…

Facebook Now Testing New Ad Manager
Over the past few days Facebook has been pushing out a new version of their ad manager to a select group of advertisers. One of those advertisers, Tradimax, was kind enough to forward over screenshots of the latest ad manager. While we’ve previously written that Facebook has been working on a new iteration of their ad management system, this is the first time that we’ve had access to the screenshots and the first we’ve heard of this system being used by advertisers.
There are a few key changes with this new ad manager: multi-ad management, a manager-wide campaign selection area,…
