You Are Very lucky, Now You Can Trace Your Stolen Camera!!!!!!!

If you have bought a new digital camera for your holidays or else already have one with you, just take a time to note down its serial number which is very important. You don’t know its importance when your digital camera gets lost then you’ll come know its importance. GadgetTrak’s new CameraTrace service can help you recover it if it’s ever stolen. Launching today, for a one-time fee of $10 CameraTrace lets you to register your camera’s serial number.

If you later report it lost or stolen, you’ll be notified by email if anyone else tries to upload photos from it. It also lets us to search CameraTrace’s serial number database of 5 billion photos for free. Both tools could help you track down unauthorized uploaders and get your gear back. Camera thieves beware, there’s a new sheriff in town.

 The way it works is that almost all digital cameras imprint their serial number on the photos they shoot, which CameraTrace can detect when they’re posted online. Law enforcement can then by alerted to investigate. The official launch of CameraTrace comes after several years of beta testing. Back in August, they wrote about how GadgetTrak reunited a professional photographer with over $9,000 worth of property.

The company also offers a recovery service for laptops and phones that detects when they connect to the Internet. For its launch, CameraTrace upped its crawling capabilities. Its database now includes 11 million cameras of 300 different models and every photo uploaded to Flickr since 2006. CameraTrace stays up to date by scanning newly uploaded pics each day with CPUsage grid computing technology.

 GadgetTrak‘s CEO and founder Ken Westin tells us its database of photos is an order of magnitude larger than that of competitors like Stolen Camera Finder. This makes CameraTrace the best place to go if you ever get jacked. The premium service includes a physical lost and found tag that can be applied to your camera. It features instructions so anyone who finds it can notify you through CameraTrace, and it also serves as a theft deterrent.

 Another advantage of the CameraTrace: It can help photographers locate where their copyrighted photos are displayed without permission. But remember, all of CameraTrace’s services only work if you have have a copy of your serial number. It can typically be found on a camera’s base plate, inside the battery case, or in the box. Westin’s final tip? A huge number of cameras are stolen through auto break-ins, so lock your gear in the trunk.

Stuck in Smiley Faces? Need To Add Emoticons In Facebook Chat???????

Smiley Faces represents simple emotions. Now Facebook Chat lets us to use the profile picture of any user, official Page, or event on the service as an emoticon. That means we can make one out of our best friend, Chuck Norris, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, Britney Spears, or anyone else. This really opens up a whole new way to express complex emotions. Eager to know how to do it, just you have to do is,

·         Go to any profile, official Page, or event that you want to use as an emoticon.

·         Look at the URL. Find the username or profile ID at the end of the URL such as “VinDiesel” from http://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel, “JoshConstine”, “cocacola”, or “45197362282″

·         Place that name or number in double brackets like [[VinDiesel]]

·         Enter that into a Facebook Chat or Message field. When you send it, the bracketed number or letters will appear as that person, Page, or event’s current profile picture.

We can send these custom emoticons from the web or mobile, but they’ll only display as photos on the web. When viewed through a Facebook app or mobile site they appear as their bracketed string. Similarly, we can’t use them in status updates, wall posts or comments yet. They appear pretty small, but we can hover over the photos to view the username it belongs too. Community Pages, those that aren’t owned by anyone and that display a Wikipedia entry, can’t be used.

 It’s tough luck! Not so excited about other people using us as an emoticon? Profile pictures and usernames are public, so this doesn’t technically violate privacy and there’s no way to opt out of having our face used. And for a long time, Facebook only had one custom smiley. The code :putnam: would show the face of Facebook engineer Chris Putnam. But now we can replace verbs, nouns and adjectives with whoever represents them best.

                As our writer John Biggs described yesterday, we can use  4Chan Ragefaces (here are the codes), and Reddit user Sky_Prodigy spawned a thread full of codes for faces and alphabets. The emoticon has evolved. To have a few ideas for people and pages we could use as emoticons. Just copy the bracketed text at the end.

• Pirate - [[CaptainJackSparrow]]
• Boyishness –  [[JustinBieber]]
• President, leadership - [[barackobama]]
• Santa Claus - [[TheMagicOfSantaClaus]]
• Male attractiveness - (Ryan Gosling) [[246631252031491]]

Enjoy Facebook Chat by adding some cute Emoticons……………. Have a great Chat………

Mitsubishi Electric Futuristic ‘W’ Shaped Flying Car!!!!

At Tokyo Motor Show, Mitsubishi Electric’s has introduced their flying car which was the new concept and shown to the public for the first time at this year.  Mitsubishi Electric’s latest EMIRAI concept gives us the feeling ‘as-if’ driving a futuristic flying car with a computer operated panel and futuristic ‘W’ shape driving wheel.

This EMIRAI concept of car is designed with bio-metrically-sensitive interface that offer auto adjustment base on the seat position base on facial temperature and current heart beats. It can be said that it is mainly done for the Japanese because the computer operated side-touch panel at the right hand side of the driver’s side that allows users to do Japanese handwriting for now and the buttons that dynamically change base on the menu selection.

 The EMIRAI concept car has the ‘W’ shaped steering wheel will up and down in responding to the dashboard’s UI. No confirmation from Mitsubishi Electric when will this type of ‘futuristic’ EMIRAI concept will be implemented on commercial cars yet, but a rough prediction is about a decade from 2011. This concept features a newly developed curved, rear-projection display as the dashboard, a tactile interface with buttons that pop up when needed and a safety system that uses biometrics.

This car embodies a concept for about ten years from now. Its main feature is the display. For the instrument panel in the center, this has only been a flat LCD until now. And it has shape-changing buttons on the steering wheel. Among the 18 buttons, only those that can be interacted with are raised, while the rest are retracted. So the interface can be used intuitively without looking. The display can also be scrolled by sliding our fingers over the buttons.

 The rear seats feature newly developed curved glasses-free 3D touch screen displays. Seat position can be customized for all kinds of people that is done through persona; ID, and facial temperature measurement, or heart-rate measurement using a Doppler sensor. And also in that way itself, the system senses the person’s health condition on that day. It makes really as if our future has come soon.
