Amazon Hack - How to Watch Free Amazon Videos!

Posted in A+Featured Hacks, Consumer, Cool, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, HOWTO, Hack, Video, Web, security, technology by max on the September 27th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

Here’s a cool hack I found on Yahoo News, it’s a hack that lets you watch free Amazon videos using the security hole:

(I don’t think this will last too long once Amazon finds out so we suggest you to take advantage before they close the security hole)

The free demo version of Replay Media Catcher allows anyone to watch 75 percent of anything recorded and 100 percent of YouTube videos. For $39, a user can watch everything recorded.

One Web site — www.tvadfree.com — explains step-by-step how to use the video stream catching software.

Amazon.com’s Adobe-powered Video On Demand service allows viewers to watch the first two minutes of a movie or TV show for free. It charges up to $3.99 to rent a movie for 24 hours and up to $14.99 to download a movie permanently.

Amazon starts to stream the entire movie during the free preview — even though it pauses the video on the Web browser after the first two minutes — so that users can start watching the rest of the video right away once they pay.

“It’s the traditional trade-off, convenience on the one hand and security on the other,” said Ray Valdes, analyst at research group Gartner.

However, even if a user doesn’t pay, the stream still sends the movie to the video catching software, but not the browser.

Posted in A+Featured Auto, Auto, Cars, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, Stupid, Video, trucks by max on the September 27th, 2008 at 5:15 pm

Well, at first I thought this was for real but then I realized the truck’s shadow shows that this truck is actually being towed so person in the video is STUPID.  (dumb…dumb…dumb narrator, she’s forgot to pass the truck…hello!  try going 85MPH please!)

enjoy~

Here’s a fun DIY on how to make a bacon princess tiara out of bacon.  Now, can we eat this after we make it?

It’s not as simple as it looks so be prepared to dig into this if you want one for yourself.

You are going to be working with an enzyme that bonds protein. You are made of protein. Unless you want to glue your lungs together or glue your eyelids to your eyeballs, you absolutely must follow these safety rules.

DIY Movie Hack - How to Make a Portable Movie Rail System!

Posted in A+Featured DIYs, Consumer, Cool, Design, Digital Cameras, DoItYourself!, Educational, Entertainment, Gadgets, HOWTO, Hack, Projects, Video by max on the September 25th, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Do you ever wonder how to make a Portable Movie Rail System for making your own homemade professional movies?

Well, now you can hack one of these cool portable movie rail systems yourself by following some of these pics which are pretty easy to understand.

We often  see chase
scene movements in film. This picture needs to be rather stable.

Professional rail system is heavy, and expensive to use. We find it hard to carry around
and use.
What we need is a low cost, lightweight and portable rail system.

On one weekend, my colleague Murdoch has done some research online. He
found that low-cost DIY rail system is very doable. And use only common materials at we see every day.

HTC T-Mobile G1 Features Video

Posted in A+Featured Gadgets, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Google Android, Video, YouTube, cell phones by max on the September 23rd, 2008 at 9:54 am

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode

Here’s another video of T-Mobile G1.  I do like the phone but I still have some doubts about the slow T-mobile network.  If I can recall right, the last time I test T-Mobile, it was as slow as AT&T.

I’d wait until a similar phone is available on Sprint or Verizon, I am not sure if I can handle this, iPhone and G1 on the most crappiest networks in America, darn.  There’s goes another couple hundred bucks in my piggy bank, instead of to greedy telecommunication companies.

Here’s a video of the new Mobile GoogleMaps version 2.3.1 with StreetView on my Blackberry 8830.  Above is me spying on Google’s San Francisco headquarter on 345 Spear Street.

Anyways, the new mobile GoogleMaps is pretty darn slow but I ain’t complaining since I am sure they will make it faster in the upcoming versions.

Google has just launched its new Mobile GoogleMaps that includes Street View.  Now you can see the street view on your Blackberry or PDA just like the destop version.

Today we’re launching a new version of Google Maps for mobile with the same street-level imagery available on desktop. Wondering if the restaurant in your search results is the one you’re thinking of? Just click “Street View” after your search to see the storefront. Unsure about a complicated intersection in your directions? Use Street View to see a photo, so there’s no mistaking your turn. You can also launch Street View from any address where we have photography, or simply by clicking on the map and selecting “Street View”. You can browse Street View overlaid on the map or in full screen, rotate your view to see more of your surroundings, and move along the street.
