[TP : TimePass] Mystery Google Search

Raju — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 08:46:18 +0000

If you are absolutely jobless and/or extremely bored, check out this new website – Mystery Google. It is a funny Google search spin-off that gives you someone else’s search results. To be precise, “You get what the person before you searched for”!

The results are delivered through Google proper, this either means that the creator of the website is not aware of Google custom search or this is affiliated with the usual, non-mysterious Google. A search for “techpp” took me to results for “Vitamins” and next time some random telephone number popped up.

Check out Mystery Google!

This has to be one of the craziest Google Doodles ever! Google is celebrating the invention of the bar code with a new doodle! As per Wiki, the patent for barcode was issued on 7 October 1952.

Doodles are Google’s unique way to show its respect for great people, inventions and events. This Barcode doodle has to be the most minimalistic doodle ever! Hats off!

Facebook Can Now Measure Happiness of its Users!

Raju — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:27:42 +0000

There you go! Economists all over the world worry about the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the nation. And now, the businesses world over can look for a new value – GHP (Gross Happiness Product) of a nation. Sounds funny? This is pretty serious stuff. Read on.

GHP is a new tool from Facebook to determine the general state of happiness for all Facebook users of the English version of the site in the US.

“Every day, through Facebook status updates, people share how they feel with those who matter most in their lives,” Adam D. I. Kramer, a Ph.D. student in social psychology at the University of Oregon interning at Facebook, wrote. “Grouped together, these updates are indicative of how we are collectively feeling.” This idea led to a project that started earlier this year at Facebook to measure the mood of Facebook users based on what they wrote every day.

“Examples of positive or happy words include “happy,” “yay” and “awesome,” while negative, or unhappy words, include “sad,” “doubt” and “tragic,” Kramer wrote. “We also did a brief survey of some Facebook users, which showed that people who use more positive words, relative to the number of negative words, reported higher satisfaction with their lives.”

In 2008, the GHP spiked toward happiness on major holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the Fourth of July. The biggest spike came during Thanksgiving!

“The index also shows two remarkably unhappy days. The lowest was Jan. 22, 2008, which was the day the Asian stock market crashed and coincidentally the same day as the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger,” Kramer wrote. “The recent death of cultural icon Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009, came in as the second least happy day in the past two years.”

Of-course this isn’t accurate depiction of how Facebook users actually feel from day to day. Not everyone openly share their mood online and many might even miss being online on happiest and saddest days of the year! Also, I am not sure if the tool is wise enough to consider and understand sarcasm and slang in the updates.

Having said that, it is still an interesting study to look at because regardless of any variables not being taken into account there are still appropriate spikes at key events as explained above.

Virtual Polaroid Instant Photos with Poladroid

Raju — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:06:30 +0000

Poladroid is supposed to be the easiest and funniest Polaroid Image maker. Poladroid adds a retro flair to regular digital photos giving them the famous POLOROID effect. Polaroid was the once-upon-a-time popular instant camera in the 1950s – 90s. In 2008, the Polaroid corporation discontinue the popular camera and I thought I would never have as much making photos again. Thanks to Poladroid, I can get the Polaroid effect, virtually atleast.

Just drag and drop a photo, and Poladroid will spit out a Polaroid, complete with sound-effects and the experience of watching the image slowly develop. Poladroid was a mac-only app sometime back, but luckily they now have a windows application as well. Currently, the app is in beta and come with a set of cool features

Poladroid Features

• Easy to use : Drag & Drop
• Generate High-resolution pictures (400 dpi), “ready-to-print” with a Polaroid design
• Funny : only 10 treatments per session, like the content of a cartridge ; interactive ; random and realistic Polaroid-like colors variation

Here is a full fledged demo of the app

by paul_ladroid

Poladroid preferences include adding stripes to the image or the frame and changing the amount of rotation on the pics Poladroid creates. You can save Poladroid images either right-side-up or rotated.

I would love to see an iPhone app and/or an Android app of this wonderful software.

Download Poladroid for Mac and Windows
