    How To: Move your Facebook Photos to Picasa

    With Google+’s popularity on the rise, a lot of users are looking for an easy way to shift their albums from Facebook to Picasa. The aptly named move2picasa.com website allows you to log in with your Facebook id and copy all your photos to Picasa. Please note that the photos would be moved without captions etc.

    If you have a lot of photos, it could take you a few hours to transfer them. Apparently, the more photos that you and others try to transfer, the slower the service will be. Despite the wait, this seems to be an adequate solution for most people. One other thing, you either move all your photos or you move none. There is no feature to select or filter which images are copied.

    Once your photos are in Picasa, sharing them with your circles is very easy. The web app was built by AmiWorks’ Aman Kumar Jain and Amogh. According to the website, some 300,000 photos have already been moved.

  • Facebook Brings Group Chat and Video Calling – Targets Google +

    Facebook Brings Group Chat and Video Calling – Targets Google +

    Facebook has just announced Facebook Video calls, in partnership with Skype. The Video feature embeds directly into Facebook chat and is a free to use service.

    There were three major announcements today.

     

    • Group chat(“an easier way to find someone who is online”)
    • Skype-enabled video chat
    • 750 million Facebook members

     

    In a direct approach the Member downloads a tiny Skype applet .jar file and Facebook Video chat becomes available. Users can now click the video button in the chat module to initiate a video call. The user on the receiving side, get a popup, much like a Skype call. The video camera on either side is turned on only when the recipient accepts the call. 

    As Mark pointed out, the interface is buggy. we tested it out and after several repeat failures we were able to get a stable connection.

    The popup is pretty simple and is always on top. The video chat can be made full screen and minimized or muted. Mark also noted that more developments will come as and when improvements are done to the system. 

    Tony Bates from Skype noted that over 150 million video calls are made each month through Skype, and now this feature will be available on Facebook.

  • App A Day : MoneyTron For iOS iPhone, iPad and iPod

    App A Day : MoneyTron For iOS iPhone, iPad and iPod

    [dropcap]W[/dropcap]ho does not need an expense monitor, an easy to use and definitive way to organize and maintain your expenses. The new MoneyTron App for the iPhone, iPad and iPod does exactly that, and that too with an interesting user interface.

    When you start Moneytron you are greeted with a nice startup screen  with two options new or report. Taping on new shows a carousel which lets you select the type of record, ranging from incoming income, to expenses like clothing, drinking, eating , social and even household expenses and groceries. there are tons of options, and if you don’t like or use a particular option you can turn it off.

    Next all you need to do is enter the value of your record and save, thats it you are done, a reassuring cash register sound confirms the record(the sounds can be turned off too). The app is an easy and effective way to record transactions. The report feature is excellent too, it lets you check your monthly, daily or total transactions. The new update adds a passcode lock which will help you avoid unwanted eyes.  The add a note feature allows you to type in a quick note about the transaction.

    One thing that majorly lacks in this app is the ability to export reports. There is no option to email or share reports, say you want to send your details to an accountant or a friend, you cant.

    This app would have been perfect with an export feature so right now it gets one rank less.

  • Windows Phone Market Place Crosses Target 25,000 Apps in June

    Windows Phone Market Place Crosses Target 25,000 Apps in June

    Microsoft said in January, that the marketplace will cross the 25,000 Apps target in June and so it has. The marketplace, relatively slow, but has managed to cross the the 25,000 apps number . That’s a rapid jump from the 18,000 applications that were available in May but it is still far away from the number of apps offered by iOS and Android.

    Android has over 200,000 Apps, whereas the Apple App Store has over 500,000 Apps and growing. Thats a huge target to close up and Microsoft thinks it can achieve a significant reduction in gap in the coming year thanks to the Mango update.

    The top 5 downloaded apps are games including the recently released Angry Birds at number one follwed by Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1, Plants vs. Zombies at two and three.

     

  • App A Day : TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

    App A Day : TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

    Just as the movie releases the Game for iOS is out by EA and it delivers 13 levels of non-stop action spread across various settings, from cities like Chernobyl and Atlantic City to the Moon. Just like in the movies, the Autobots can transform between robots and vehicles.

    The fight is basically between the Transformers and Decepticons You may unlock up to 13 weapons, each of which may be upgraded using blue energon cubes that you’ll be collecting as you roam about. In this same manner, you can also upgrade your character’s skills. All these upgrades may be performed between levels in the lab. In addition to the weapons, you have two types of special attacks, including one that allows you to lock onto multiple targets. You can also attack the Decepticons at close range with a melee attack button.

    Although there is a lot of fighting and action involved, it just seems like the same thing over and over again. The game gets really repetitive and feels like a drag after some time.

    The lack of a better storyline fails to impress us with this game.

  • Skype – Cross Platform Video Calls Now on Android

    Skype – Cross Platform Video Calls Now on Android

    Skype announced that its Android client now supports cross platform video calls, so desktop users can now see mobile users and vice versa. At the moment, this functionality is limited to only four Android handsets, the Desire S, Xperia Neo and Pro and the Nexus S. If you have one of these phones, you can now make video calls to your friends over WiFi and 3G both.

    Video Calls between android devices have been possible for a while now, but the option to make video calls to desktops/laptops has been limited. Most Android users won’t be affected by this update although Skype promises to add other handsets “soon”.

    The new Skype client can switch between front and rear facing cameras, so you can show people your face as well as what you are seeing. It can connect to all Skype clients including the iPhone as well as many Skype enabled TV’s.
