Google Offers WebP For Faster Internet
October 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Google [GOOG] is launching a new image format called WebP. What WebP does is squashes down the file size of images to make them smaller, hence, a quicker download for users.
The aim of Google is to make the web faster and this is just another step to make this happen. Typically, the webP format can reduce the file size of a JPEG image by about 40% making images a lot smaller in file size. However, with this format, not much changes in image quality with it not really even being noticable. It’s a bonus in both ways for the end user (and webmaster who pays out for bandwidth usage on his hosting account).
Another interesting thing to note is that 65 percent of traffic on the internet is image traffic according to Google. Cut image sizes down by 40% on average and you have a lot of bandwidth savings. [Read more…]
Kinect won’t work for the messier gamer, well not very well at least

These included old slices of pizza, half eaten boxes of bakewell tarts, aged sausage rolls and clothes all over the floor. Yep, typical teenagers room, though nowadays I’m a little better.

iPhone 3GS HDR Photos Could Become Official
September 30, 2010 by Leave a Comment
We have seen a hack before that allows the iPhone 3GS to get HDR photography. This modification required that you jailbreak the iPhone 3GS and edit a file to activate the feature.
What we hear now is that Apple [AAPL] could have intended on the iPhone 3GS getting HDR photography all along. The information comes from a couple of images of the HDR button found in the firmware for the phone. Two image files were found. One of them had a retina display enhanced version of the HDR image (button found at the top of the screen when capturing an image). A second lower resolution image was also found that looks to be optimised for the regular display.
What this indicates is a couple of things. Either Apple intended the HDR feature to be included in iOS 4.1 for the 3GS, or that they might add it in the future. [Read more…]
