WiFi Digital Photo Frames w/ Internet Radio Review!

max — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:37:09 +0000

It’s the holidays season coming up soon, specifically Thanksgivings where most of you will get 5 or more days off work and visit your parents/family. Well, for that, there’s a perfect gift, a digital photo frame.

Not all digital photo frames are made the same though. Especially for your elders who have less knowledge of computers, you might want to consider getting them a wireless digital photo frame.

Why?

Because the with WiFi digital photo frames you can easily stream them your latest photos via services like Flickr or Picasa. This also is great since they can see your latest photos without fiddling with memory cards, USB connections, and whatnot.

I also tend to like to listen to a lot of free internet radio, so I added internet radio as a requirement here also.

The HP DreamScreen and Intouch UT7150 digital photo frames are probably the best on the market right now that can do both WiFi and internet radio.

Plus, a digital photo frame is even better when you can easily scan through the photos and videos. These two digital frames both come with either touch-controls on the front (for HP) and touchscreen controls.

I find that having touch/touchscreen controls very important for browsing through the photos. Plus, these digital frames allow you to do some more stuff like connect to Facebook or check the news from your favorite blogs without a real computer/laptop on your hand.

Of course, you will need a live internet connection to make these digital frames perform to its fullest so make sure your parents/family have one.

And don’t forget to set it up all the WiFi connections and photo streaming for your parents. You should be able to set it and forget it.

Both HP DreamScreen and the Intouch UT7150 are in the similar price range, I prefer the Intouch one since it’s a full touchscreen while the HP has much bigger screen.

HP Dreamscreen 10.2″ – $198.21 on Amazon

Intouch IT7150 7″ – $200.11 on Amazon

Office DIY Ideas – How to Turn Office Junk into Useful Gadgets!

max — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:13:26 +0000

This is a Guest Post by Jeff Saporito from our partner blog site TestFreaks.com.

Few things on this earth become as cluttered, dirty and full of mysteries as the desks where we work all day. From shriveled lettuce fragments from a 2005 sandwich still stuck between the keys, to a curious 5” floppy disk full of unknown data that has been rolled over by the chair wheels a dozen times, there are all sorts of things buried within and around our workspaces. This is particularly true for most who work from home – as the desk constantly serves not only as a place for getting work done, but often as a table, shelf, pantry, and sometimes, a bed.

Every now and then, people bother to actually clean out their desks and get rid of all the miscellaneous bits of computer parts and office supplies for which they have absolutely no use. Massive trash bags, big enough for Dexter Morgan to fill with a dismembered 32 year-old man, get filled to the brim with random work-related bits of forgotten importance. But why junk all that stuff? There are a bunch of things you can do with all those pieces-parts – and this article aims to provide you with a few ideas. And no, I wouldn’t suggest re-shingling your roof with plastic jewel cases and gelatinous bottles of White Out. Come on, you at least have a little bit of class.

CDs

CDs may be the most common throw-away item. Everyone has a spindle worth of discs they forgot to label, discs that burned improperly, or a drawer full of leftover AOL free trials they got in the mail once a week from 1997-2001. Here are some technical, geeky, crafty, practical and stupid things to do with old CDs or DVDs:

Detach large Christmas lights (the old school fat ones like your grandpa still uses) from their string, put on the CD, and then reattach the light. It makes a neat glowing/reflecting effect.
Trace a guitar pick onto a CD and cut it out. Brand new guitar pick.
String a few together and hang it outside for a quality hillbilly prism ornament.
Stick them on fence posts to scare away birds from your garden – they hate the reflection.
There’s always the good old coaster and Frisbee options.
If they have printed labels on one side, cut them up and make a mosaic.
Smash your mosaic, and glue the pieces to a Styrofoam ball. Disco away.
Practice your ninja skills by throwing them like a shuriken at friends and family members.
They make pretty cool candle coasters.
Install a clock mechanism in the center hole, Sharpie on some numbers and you’ve got a sweet nerd clock.
Use your nerd clock to gauge when your frozen pizza is done baking, and then cut the pie with a disc edge.

Floppy & Zip Disks

No doubt you’ve got a few floppies still lying around, too. If you don’t, I have plenty, and you can have them. You could back up your hard drive or something, 1.4MB at a time, if you wanted to. The Zip disk could still be mildly useful, if only any computer on earth actually had a Zip drive…

Tile the floor in a small room with them, you nerd.
Go to this site and learn how to make a bag/purse/man sack out of floppies (http://www.instructables.com/id/Floppy-Disk-Bag/) – Just don’t give it to your mom for mother’s day.
Pop out the little metal circle part from the middle of a bunch of disks, string some cord through it (or some SATA cable if you want to be super geeky) and make a belt. Or a necklace. Or a noose.
Zip disks make great props for under the leg of that wobbly chair or table.
Fashion a bunch of them together to make a square box – you can put pencils in it! Hey, it’ll help with the clutter. We’re cleaning here, after all.
Same concept as above – but make a photo cube.
Use them to scratch food out of a casserole dish. It works. I swear.
If you have a 5” floppy, use it as a mount for some sort of art project.
Make a bracelet out of the insides of a 5” disk. Then, down a bottle of Hello Kitty pills and head to a rave in the most dilapidated building you can find.

Laptops

Aside from taking old laptops to sit on and keep the chilly bleacher metal off your bum at your son’s tee ball game, there are a handful of things you can do with them that are less ridiculous.

Make a DIY digital photo frame. Start by taking the LCD off of the rest of the laptop (which usually only requires removing one ribbon cable). Remove the plastic around the LCD, assemble a mounting board and mat around it, then glue it on. Reattach the cable to the rest of the laptop. Attach something to make a stand. If you have a screensaver program that links to Flickr or some other photo source, it’s all that much easier because you never really have to touch the thing. It’s boss.
Screw with it. Replace the case with a wooden one. Do something silly.
If it’s not a total pile, turn it into a file server. It costs less to power all day than a desktop.
Turn it into a hotspot and boost your router signal. The method depends on your OS, so look it up yourself.
Put some wheels on it and use it as a skateboard. Wear pads, you’ll get hurt.
Create a DIY hobo digital projector. Get the screen, a cooling fan, and an old style overhead projector. Check the bottom corner of the supply closet for one of those, behind the mop and Janet from accounting’s underwear. Strip down the LCD until you’re left with just the screen itself (just the black sheet and its attached VGA/DVI components). Lay it on the glass top of the overhead projector. Attach it however you need to along with the cooling fan. Connect the inputs to a video source, and you’ll have a big, digital-ish projection.
Use it as a second monitor.
Put it on your stove top and use it as a skillet to fry an egg. Only if it has a metal shell, though. I mean, you can melt it everywhere if you want…

Printers

Okay fine, there is only one suggestion for printers…

Hollow it out and plant flowers in it. They become excellent planters, especially the all-in-ones.

Pencils

Make a little fence for your plants in your printer planter box. Or in an actual planter box.
Glue a bunch together side-by-side and make a placemat or trivet.
Apparently moths hate pencil shavings. Grind them all up and put them in your closet. They will work like moth balls – but with a different, less offensive, but still unappealing odor.
Support a small plant.
The graphite in a pencil is a dry lubricant, so if you have a small motor, lock, latch, or other mechanical object that is stuck, rub the graphite all over it to loosen it up.

Other Crap

Clean out the junk in your keyboard cracks with the sticky end of a Post-It.
Use Post-Its as cable wraps for all the cords under the desk.
Be one of those creepy old people in a dark room full of decaying Asian home furnishings and antique radios that hordes every piece of garbage they’ve ever possessed.
Repeatedly stick and remove any form of tape to a laptop keyboard that has hand soil marks. It will slowly lift them without you scratching away at your hardware. (That’s what she said!)
Insulate something with mouse pads.
You can tie up just about anything with a computer cable.
Got a bunch of old computer pieces? Here are some examples of insanely cool computer art: http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/04/18/geeky-computer-part-art/
Use paper clips as Christmas ornament hooks, or as a zipper pull. Then go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. Pop your collar while you’re at it.
Large pencil erasers are great door stops.
An old mouse or crappy computer speaker makes a good key hider.
An old iPod makes a swell cigarette case.
The circuit sheet from a keyboard can make a very snazzy wallet.
You can melt old crayons and make nice art that will look much like oil painting. Touch to flame, dab on paper. Touch to flame, dab on paper. Touch to flame, dab on paper. Touch to flame, dab on paper. Touch to flame…

Clearly you can find a use for anything if you try to. It’s certainly easier to throw everything away, but when you can have mildly tacky things all over the place that you created with would-be trash, people just may think you are the most clever Jenny on the block. You may even be able to fashion yourself something useful, which is the true spirit of DIY. Though most of the ideas on this list were small, they are all feasible. Try some out, put your innovative mind to work and see if you can’t transform some of that desk clutter into a more creative form of clutter.

Digital Frame Hack – How to Build a Custom Web Interface!

max — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:28:35 +0000

For those of you looking to hack your wireless digital frames, here’s a great guide on how to build your own custom web interface. The hack uses PHP and MySQL so it shouldn’t be a surprise for most of you web developers out there. This is a great way to make more usage out of the wireless digital frame than showing pictures and videos.

As soon as you enter the needed data like ssid and password (yes, he can do wep and wpa/2 !), the frame connects to your wifi and gets his IP via dhcp.
With the web-interface (http://IP_OF_FRAME:5050) you can control the i-net-functions of the frame:
Either it gets his images from windows-live-space (whatever this is), or it parses feeds and regular html-pages and gehts the images for you. Alas, it refuses to parse php-pages.

Fed up of photos, get art instead

There are many who have a digital photo frame, yet somehow the magic gets lost after while having to keep changing or reloading new images and setting it up, in some cases even switching it on can be too much sometimes.

Why not go for something else, like art. With a nice digital photo frame that has a wooden surround it could look like a picture frame and by adding the Bandai Living Gallery SD card, you will treat your friends to mini art exhibition from Pierre-Auguste Renoir or a Vincent van Gogh. Each card has thirty well known pieces of work from these famous artists.

Digital Photo Frame Hack – How to Pick the Right File Format!

max — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:48:54 +0000

Although this might come as common sense, some people might not realize that big file formats are actually bad for displaying on your digital photo frames.

Andrew, one of our blog search engin network bloggers, has a detailed explanation of which file formats are best for your digital photo frame:

If you do use an SLR, make sure to check out the file size of the photos, as SLRs often shoot rather large multiple-MB files that will take up most of you digital memory card if you don’t resize them. This can be done in almost any photo editor, and you should always trim your digital photos down to the standard 4×6 size if you want to get more of them on your frame.

Many frames also support TIFF anf GIF file formats. I recommend converting your TIFF and GIF files to JPEGS if at all possible You can do this with a photo editor like Photoshop, as well. TIFF files often lack any compression and this results in large file sizes. And with GIF, while they remain smaller, the file size is less recognized and may not play on all devices like JPGs will.

Overall, I recommend JPGs. You will be happier and so will your guests, who will get to see more photos on the same frame.

Digital Picture Frame DIY – How to Pick the Right Photos!

max — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 12:04:29 +0000

It’s one thing to buy a digital photo frame and another to place your best pictures on it.

Here’s some great advice on how to pick the right photos for your new digital picture frame:

First, use a photo management system to help keep track of all your photos. You can find some good suggestions on what type of system to use in this previous post here at the GiiNii blog.

Once you have all your photos in order, go about picking one or two shots from each set of photos. Take a photo or two from that fun night out, one from your birthday party, a few from the latest family trip. Mix in a couple from friends. Spice it up with some of your favorite nature snaps. The key is variety.

Many just put whole series of photos from the same night or event on their frames, and the lack of variety soon grows old. If you mix up the pictures, you are more likely to enjoy the outcome a little more.

Plus, with a good variety, the frame becomes a better talking point with guests. Instead of just sitting through a vacation slideshow, guests have a chance to see all kinds of memories. It will get people talking.

Top 5 Features to Look for When Buying a Digital Photo Frame!

max — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:18:43 +0000

(GiiNii 8″ DS Ulta Thin Digital Photo Frame Pictured Above)

Features. features, features! That’s what you need to focus on when you buy a digital photo frame and we have Top 5 features you need to look for when buying your next digital photo frame:

1: WiFi

The newest trend in digital photo frames is WiFi support. And while you don’t need WiFi to enjoy your photos, it’s definitely the way of the future. WiFi allows your frame to access your home network, or any other open wireless network, and stream photos from an online service or your home computer.

2: Audio

Most frames these days come with audio playback, which allows you to load MP3 or other song files onto the frame. Once the songs are on the frame, speakers built in to the frame can play the songs along with your photos, making nice slideshow presentations

3: Video

Because more and more digital cameras — from point and shoot cameras to SLRs — are including video recording options, it’s important to think about video playback when shopping for a frame. If you do use your camera for video, you will want a frame with playback so you can share the memories with everyone.

4: Display Size

You might want a huge display for that bare wall or a small display to save space on your desk or bedside table. Digital frames come in all shapes and sizes these days. And, depending on hte function you want your frame to perform, you might want big, but you might want small.

5: Management System

Frames these days are basically small computers, and some of them can be hard to figure out and use. That’s why knowing a little about how the management system of your frame works can help out a lot when deciding to buy a new frame.

Consumer DIY – How to Choose a Digital Photo Frame!

max — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 19:07:27 +0000

Whether you are buying a keychain digital photo frame or an 8″ digital frame, you really need to know how to choose a digital photo frame. Our GiiNii blogger David Allen (He’s also blogged on Zedomax before) has a great tips on how to choose your very first digital photo frame:

There is also what the frames purpose will be, is it going to be used to display single images or would you be more creative and run a slideshow with a music track playing in the background, this is the potential of a new digital photo frame. However, there is no need to worry because as with most technology it gets easier the more often it is used.

When it comes to images, you may notice that sometime the images displayed some digital photo frames do not fill up the screen, this is because most photos use the 4:3 ratio, which is why a display screen, which is the same, will show your photos in the best possible way.

As far as price goes, GiiNii’s 7″ digital frame proves to be the best. But to be fair, if you wanted to get some good internal memory of 512MB, you’d go with the Pandigital 7″, which is priced at $99.99 but offers the most internal memory of all.

If you wanted to go for the best screen resolution with the best prices, I’d have to say Smartparts offers the best bang for your buck with its 800×480 pixel resolution and 128MB internal memory.

For 8″ digital photo frames, GiiNii offers clear advantage over SmartParts with slightly better resolution of 800×600 over 800×480 pixels. Of course, you’d pay a little more but we’d say the extra resolution and ability to accept 7 different types of memory cards is worth the extra 20 bucks. Coby also offers a competitive price but there’s no internal memory (as far as we know, there’s nothing about it on the Sears website), that’s a no-go as you will have to spend extra on a memory card.

There’s also a lot of helpful articles on how to choose the right digital photo frames here:

How to Pick a Frame for Your Style – This article shows you how to pick the right style of frame for you. There’s so many different types of digital photo frames out there, you need to be informed about the different choices before you make your final purchase.

Top 10 Unique and Innovative Digital Photo Frames!

max — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:15:46 +0000

With the high number of digital photo frames popping up today, I figured I would do a small review on some of the unique and innovative digital photo frames I found on the web. Here’s a range of unique and innovative digital photo frames you might enjoy.

1) Magnetic Digital Photo Frame for your Refrigerator – This little digital photo frame will let you stick your favorite digital pictures so you can cook while reminding yourself of your loved ones.

About $40 at Gizoo (Source – Digital Photo Frame Blog)

Coby 1.5 inch Digital Photo Keychain

2) The Coby 1.5-inch digital photo frame keychain is a great idea for carrying your favorite digital pictures in your pocket along with all your house/car keys.

$14.98 at Amazon (Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

3) The DIY Digital Wall made from multiple LCDs is a great way to create a real-time online family photo album for ubergeeks who need to stay in constant touch with other family members.

4) GiiNii’s 7-inch Wedge Digital Picture Frame has an awesome wedge-like design to fit well with any of your modern home furniture.

$99.99 at zBezt.com (Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

5) Chumby is a versatile wireless digital photo frame with ability to surf the internet and other really neat stuff. Chumby probably is the future of digital photo frames.

(Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

6) Jobo’s new Mirage L has a clean, sleek glass to cover the whole digital photo frame for clearer photos and easy cleaning. I certainly do like glass over plastic when it comes to digital photo frames, although glass is more fragile and harder to maintain, it’s worth the time and money. Watch out for it soon as it will be in stores soon…

(Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

7) The LG Portable Digital Photo Frame/DVD Player is an awesome portable device that lets you watch DVDs on the go or display your family album anytime else. Too bad there’s no WiFi on this one, it would make it a “super” digital photo frame to get.

$189.99 at Circuit City (Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

Pandigital 7-inch Multi-Frame Digital Photo Frame is an awesome choice for anyone who needs multiple digital photo frames without having the full price for each one.

$134.94 at Amazon (Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

9) Daewoo’s Folding Digital Photo Frames might be big but practical for many public advertising space or you simply like to spend a lot of cash on digital photo gadgets. This one is still a prototype so watch for commercial versions in the near future.

(Source – Digital Photo Frames Blog)

10) The 2.4-inch DIgital Photoframe with Internet Features can display your favorite photos, show you real-time weather reports, integrate with your Google Calendar, and much more for the price of only $27.50 each.

Sony VAIO Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame will read RSS Feeds!

max — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:16:32 +0000

If you happen to be a Sony VAIO laptops lover, you need to check out their new VAIO Wi-Fi Digital Photo Frame that is also capable of reading RSS Feeds with a resolution of 800×480.

Features: 7″ display with 800×480 resolution projecting over 16 million colors, Wi-Fi enabled (802.11b/g), 128MB hard drive, Memory Stick®, Secure Digital™ and Compact Flash slots, projects RSS feeds from the web and built-in MP3 player

What I like most about this Sony WiFi Digital Photo Frame is that it can read online RSS Feeds so you can setup your own RSS Feeds from your photos and websites. (For how to add RSS Feeds to your digital photo frame, looky here.)

I really think that the next step in digital picture frame resolution is RSS Feeds that will automate the process of uploading any photos.

With WiFi digital photo frames that can read RSS Feeds (I think most Wi-Fi frames do this now), you no longer need any photo storage space, just a good WiFi connection which most homes have these days.

Nutouch 7″ Digital Frame with MP3 AND Touchscreen does the job indeed.

max — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 03:18:43 +0000

Who said a 800×600 pixel 7″ digital frame with MP3 and touchscreen isn’t awesome?

You control it with the sexy blue LED touch sensor array we mentioned earlier that’s built into the piano black frame – touch the frame and the buttons appear. The built-in battery lets you run the digital frame for a couple of hours without being plugged in – so you can show your latest pics off at your next dinner party without trailing wires around. This device works with all the main brands of memory card in the market today, plus you can load pics into its generous internal memory straight from your computer via the USB port. Just to add cream to the strawberries (so to speak) they’ve added clock and calendar functions to make this a very high tech desk accessory. All in all this is an excellent ‘do-it-all’ DPF (see, it’s catching on already).

8″ Digital Picture Frame with MP3 Player!

Asus 7 inch Digital Photo Frame is also an LCD monitor!

max — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 06:52:21 +0000

Asus has launched their 7″ digital photo frame which can also be used as a monitor. I told you people will start copying Samsung’s small LCD idea…

Asus has recently launched a new 7’’ digital frame, the UFOTO UF735. Our device features a 7’’ LCD screen in high-resolution (800×480), 128MB of internal memory, a USB 2.0 port, earphone jack. It supports CF/SD/MMC/MS/xD memory cards, and USB flash drives.

Innovation comes with its “sub-display” function which allows it to be used as a secondary display. With it you can perform secondary tasks, like Microsoft Messenger chat or view Akihabara News, while you’re working on your main monitor.
