Magical Jelly Bean Key Finder Works for Vista and Office 2007

This article was written on April 13, 2007 by CyberNet.

If you have forgot to write down your product key from Microsoft Office or Windows then all may not be lost. We have previously mentioned the wonderful Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder application that is capable of retrieving your product key from already installed software, but a newer Beta version is in the works and it does even more!

Keyfinder

For starters this is the first version to support key retrieval for both Vista and Office 2007. The software previously supported Vista but it wasn’t able to retrieve your key for Office 2007. That bumps up the list of compatible Microsoft applications to Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Windows Vista, Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007.

There is also another new feature that will definitely make this tool even more valuable than it already is. That is the addition of the keyfinder.cfg file which stores registry locations for other applications that save the product key in the registry. By default this file adds the capability of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to recognize keys from any of the following programs (and could easily be expanded later on):

  • 3DMark
  • Adobe Photoshop 7
  • After Effects 7
  • Alcohol 120%
  • Axailis IconWorkshop
  • Beyond TV
  • Beyond Media
  • Borland Delphi 6
  • Call of Duty 2
  • Company of Heroes
  • Cyberlink PowerDVD
  • DVD Profiler
  • HDD State Inspector
  • mIRC
  • Naturally Speaking 8
  • Norton PartitionMagic 8
  • O&O CleverCache 6
  • O&O Defrag 8
  • O&O DriveLED 2
  • Quake 4
  • Replay Converter
  • Splinter Cell
  • Stardock
  • SuperCleaner
  • Techsmith Camtasia
  • Techsmith SnagIt
  • TGTSoft StyleXP
  • TuneUP
  • Unreal Tournament 2004
  • VMware Workstation 5
  • VSO Convert X to DVD
  • Westwood Alarmstufe Rot 2
  • Westwood Tiberian Sun
  • Winamp 5
  • WinPatrol
  • WS FTP

Not only that but the Keyfinder can also change your Windows key should the need ever arise. All you have to do is enter in your new key as well as any registration information that you want to change:

Keyfinder

The author of this application had done a really great job rewriting this program from scratch. The best part is that Keyfinder does not require any installation, so you can throw it on your USB drive and use it whenever it is needed.

EFO’s iPazzPort grows a touchpad and laser pointer, tickles our fancy

What exactly is a fancy, anyway? As we ponder that, and other far-fetched meanings of life, we’re forced to take a look a yet another mystery of our planet: EFO. Who are these guys? Where do they spend quality time? Did they ever consider that the iPazzPort would become a worldwide phenomenon? Merely months after rolling out a minuscule Bluetooth keyboard for controlling HTPCs and other doodads, the company is now outing a slightly larger version — one with a multitouch trackpad on top of the keys. Oddly enough, it also saw fit to throw a laser pointer into the mix, though this version will rely on those tried-and-true RF frequencies for wireless communication. Check out a downright exhilarating video of it in action past the break, and tap that source link if you’re eager to drop $55 (including shipping) on one.

Fauxhawk robot exterminates wasps, is something of a fashion victim

When Professor Sekine of Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, heard that his friend had been stung upwards of 90 times exterminating wasps, he was inspired to act. Why not build a robot to do the job instead? Presumably he threw some old parts together that he had laying around anyways — why else would he build a humanoid robot with a mohawk, when an AR.Drone — or a spray bottle with an extra long hose — could just as easily do the trick? Called Mohican (in honor of its awesome wig), this device is intended to be controlled via remote and voice (“climb the ladder,” for instance), and seems way over-qualified for its intended task. But who knows? Maybe Sekine is a visionary! After all, he has big plans for his automaton: After it’s released “sometime next summer,” he wants to devote his time to an updated model that will work in other hazardous environments, such as nuclear power plants.

Viewsonic VX2258wm 22-inch multitouch display hits stores in Europe

It looks like the folks at Viewsonic never got the memo that people don’t want touchscreen displays on devices that don’t lay flat. (Maybe Steve forgot to CC ’em?) That, or maybe they just have a rebellious streak — which we can certainly respect. Either way, the company has just announced the VX2258wm, a 22-inch monitor that uses Infrared Optical Imaging to bring Windows-certified multitouch to the table (er, desk). And that, alongside 1080p HD resolution, ClearMotiv II Technology, a 5ms response time, a dynamic contrast ratio of 100,000:1, and support for HBDP (High Bandwidth Digital Protection) Blu-ray devices, sounds pretty good to us! Available now in Europe for £189 (roughly $300). PR after the break.

MyFive: Most Popular Cameras on Flickr

This article was written on October 14, 2007 by CyberNet.

Flickr has grown into one of the most popular photo services on the web with 12,000 photos served each second. With over 8.5 million registered members, there’s no doubt that the photos on Flickr were taken with lots of different cameras.  Flickr keeps track of the type of camera that was used to take about 2/3 of the pictures, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at which cameras top the list.  Below you’ll find the top five most popular cameras on Flickr, as well as the top five point and shoot cameras.

Most Popular Cameras on Flickr

  1. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT
    Available in black or silver, the Canon Digital Rebel XT is the most popular camera used on Flickr.  Listed at $599, this 8MP Digital SLR camera captures enough detail for “photo-quality” 16 x 22 inch prints (Amazon).
    canon digital rebel xt
  2. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
    Sticking with the Canon family, the EOS Digital Rebel XTi is the second most popular camera used on Flickr.  The list price for this 10.1 MP Camera is $685.00 and it captures enough detail for “photo-quality” 18×24 inch prints (Amazon).

  3. Nikon D50
    The Nikon D50 is a 6.1 MP Digital SLR Camera priced at $1,295.00. It features a 2 inch LCD display and has 7 scene modes including a child mode. It features continuous shooting at 2.5 frames per second for bursts of up to 137 pictures, and comes with a long-lasting lithium-ion battery (Amazon).

  4. Nikon D80
    Priced at $1,160, the Nikon D80 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera is ranked as the fourth most popular camera on Flickr. It features high-speed continuous shooting, in-camera image editing functions, and a large wide-angle 2.5 inc LCD monitor (Amazon).

  5. Canon EOS 20D
    Last on the list of most popular cameras on Flickr is the Canon EOS 20D, a Digital SLR 8.2 MP Camera. It’s priced at $1,981.84 and captures JPEG or RAW images.

Those are some expensive cameras, aren’t they? That’s because they’re all Digital SLR Cameras which tells us that there are probably a lot of professional photographers posting pictures on Flickr.  For everyday use, many people use Point & Shoot Cameras. Here’s the list of the five most popular point and shoot cameras on Flickr:

  • Canon PowerShot SD600
  • Canon PowerShot S3 IS
  • Canon PowerShot SD400
  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P200
  • Canon PowerShot SD450

Father-son team build Samus Aran arm cannon for Halloween

Looking for a little inspiration for your Halloween costume? Then you might not want to read any further, as you’ll likely only find yourself struggling to match the Samus Aran costume that 11-year old Joseph DeRose and his father are building. That costume apparently only consists of an arm cannon at the moment, but it’s certainly an impressive arm cannon — it packs an array of LED lights with various settings (controlled by an Arduino, naturally), not to mention an assortment of sound effects from the Metroid games. Those not concerned about being upstaged can check out a video of the build process after the break.

Video Of Google’s Future Homepage

This article was written on October 16, 2006 by CyberNet.

Google has said that they plan on keeping YouTube as it’s own brand but that doesn’t mean they won’t try and promote it, right? When I was on YouTube today I happened to stumble upon this video and I thought it was kinda amusing. :D

HTC Knight surfaces for Sprint with Android and a sliding hinge of some sort?

What do we know about the picture above? Not much more than meets the eye — this alleged HTC Knight is for Sprint and navigates Android using capacitive touchscreen keys. We do get a little more detail from the source of the image, who gave XDA-developers an XML file that mentions users should not “slide screen in/out” during activation. That certainly suggests that we’re looking at a slider, but not necessarily a physical QWERTY keyboard — after all, a very similar-looking HTC device recently appeared sporting a slide-out speaker bar.

[Thanks, Delon H.]

Optimus Keyboard: Some Production/Parts Costs Revealed

This article was written on December 13, 2006 by CyberNet.

Many of us were in awe and disappointed when the Optimus keyboard was announced to be in black & white along with a price tag of $1200. We knew that it couldn’t be cheap to build these but $1200 for a computer keyboard seemed a little outlandish.

I find reading the Optimus blog to be a lot of fun because there are hardly any companies that clue in the rest of the world on their design process. Now the latest post on the Optimus blog details some of the costs that are associated with the manufacturing of the keyboard:

For the Optimus-103 OLEDs have to be custom-made. We have to choose the manufacturer next week (there are some of them), define the specs and finance every production stage including the tooling. Tooling itself costs a minimum of US$70-100k. Production cycle takes at least three months. Every display costs about US$10. Multiply that by the number of active keys.

Remember that the $10 is not for all 103 keys because the “space bar, return, both shifts, numeric keypad, the arrow keys and some other keys of secondary importance” will just be backlit to save some money. That right there knocks off about 25 OLEDs ($250 in parts) that would be needed.

There is no way that I could afford the $1200 for the keyboard, which is what the black & white version was said to cost, but I am sure over the years that the price will continue to fall as the parts become cheaper to manufacture. Look back at how expensive laptops and plasma/LCD televisions were a few years ago and then it is obvious that this technology will follow a similar path.

XpanD universal 3D glasses now available for pre-order

The lack of inter-brand compatibility is a major annoyance with current 3D glasses — not to mention stands in direct opposition to our fashionable couch potato aesthetic. Luckily, XpanD’s universal 3D glasses are finally available for pre-order on Amazon, even though there’s no word on ship dates. They are however currently priced at $108, which is slightly less than the $125-$150 range quoted by XpanD’s Chief Strategy Officer Ami Dror last spring. That said, no surprise drop in price could justify their PR platitude as “the most anticipated product in the history of 3D.”
