Sega Mega Drive iPod Dock

megadrive-26Wired came across an old beat up Sega Mega Drive and decided to tear it down to see what was exactly inside. Not surprisingly there isn’t that much… just a circuit board with a few chips on and that’s about that. The picture shows the Japanese model if my memory serves me correctly. The Japanese model had the cartridge lock (a flimsy bit of plastic that just bent if a UK/US cartridge was put in) and had the reddish highlight around the power LED.

Google ads Automatic Captioning to Uploaded Video

youtube-automatic-captionsGoogle [GOOG] have added a new feature to Youtube that automatically ads captions to videos by using speech to text technology.

The technology used works with the same algorithms that Google Voice uses and converts the text in to text at the bottom of the video. The feature is designed for those who are hard of hearing or those who do not have sound enabled on their PC.

As of now the service is just a trial and only available on certain educational channels as well as the Google channels. If it proves to be successful enough then I suspect it will be rolled out to all videos eventually. [Read more…]
