The early 20th century produced a breathtaking succession of innovations – the Wright Flyer, the Model T, the Panama Canal. It was a golden age of engineering. A century hence, observers may well look back at our era in much the same way: Cars are being reimagined from the wheels up. Advances in solar energy show the way past fossil fuels. And space probes explore planets that could become our future homes. These pages salute the product designers who have already transformed the present.

Microsoft Photosynth | Free

This remarkable software, which can be downloaded for free, analyzes dozens (or hundreds) of photos taken of a location or subject – the Eiffel Tower, say, or a room in a museum. It looks for overlapping points in the images, then arranges the snapshots into a browsable 3D model. The result is a fresh way to organize and share photography – opening up new possibilities for a 180-year-old art form.

Spore | $49

Few video games have built up as much anticipatory buzz as Spore, and it’s not just the game’s pedigree (it was designed by Will Wright, the mastermind behind SimCity and The Sims) or its grand scope (players guide the evolution of a universe). It’s the technology. Spore doesn’t rely on stock characters stored in a library of animations. Instead, the software uses sophisticated logic to allow players’ creations to interact spontaneously.

For your louche, rich friend

Does your friend still wax nostalgic about the good old college days when he’d wake up with a hangover and puke all over his unwashed shirt? Does he moan about how his banking/investing/insert-other-high-paying-job-here career isn’t panning out the way he imagined it?

Instead of letting him bitch and moan nonstop, present him with these sommelier wine glasses. Created by Czech designer Maxim Velovsky?, the glasses are modeled after the kind of plastic Dixie cups your friend probably slammed into his head, post chugging, during beer pong. This way he gets to have the best of both worlds: the nostalgia of his less-fancier days and a little class (courtesy of the glasses’ design origins and price).

We all dream of acquiring a decent home for our children, a good education for them, a luxurious car, and a stable business or source of income. We all aspire the good things in life, hoping that one day we will be able to transcend our lowly station and climb up the stairs of the very elusive path known as success.

Success is something that you should search for, something that you should seek and chase as though you are searching for gold in the midst of a desert. Did I say searching gold in the midst of a desert? Yeah, that’s how one chases success. Elusive as it may be, it is not impossible. Everybody can achieve his goals in life and be counted among the successful fellows today. No wonder, we have in our society individuals who were able to surpass the limitations imposed upon by the circumstances and go beyond. They are called the Nouveau Riche of this contemporary generation.

With a next-generation HD format like Blu-ray still trying to gain a more stable foothold in our country, Toshiba plays it safe and wants you to meet the advanced Toshiba XD-E500 DVD Player. Consumers have embraced the DVD format like no other technology and they’ve also invested in sizeable DVD movie collections.

As the market moves towards high definition, the XD-E500 lets them experience their existing DVD library in a whole new way. The XD-E500 offers consumers the chance to watch their existing DVD collections at near-HD resolutions, replete with enhanced detail and richer colors. Toshiba is delivering to consumers what they want: a high quality experience at an affordable price.

Surround Sound Enhances Viewing Experience

The Toshiba XDE-500 DVD Player has Toshiba’s new XDE technology on board along with Sharp, Color and Contrast Modes to provide added detail, rich colors and deep blacks. Its DVD up-scale feature lets you watch your standard definition movies in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. An HDMI connection allows for seamless flow of both video and audio data from the DVD player to the HDTV.

The HDTV also plays host to 3D Virtual Surround Sound technology, for audio that’s as pleasing as the visuals. Support for JPEG display and MP3 Playback round out its list of surface-level features. Undoubtedly, although the Toshiba XDE500 doesn’t play HD DVD or Blu-Ray, it will make the very most of your standard definition DVDs and create a whole new movie experience for you.

The Toshiba XD-E500 looks like a little black box with a minimalist design philosophy. The size of an old VHS player and sporting a new look from Toshiba, it is something you’ll be proud to put in your living room. During operation, you’ll get a glowing white Toshiba logo, and a clear green display giving you the chapter numbers and other info about the DVD you are watching. There are hard playback buttons along the front panel that are refined and easy to use. While watching though, it’s doubtful that you’ll be using the said buttons as virtually all the player’s controls are operated via the well laid out remote. The remote, which is also black, gives you all the controls you want and is dedicated to the DVD player. The DVD player supports playback of standard DVDs, CDs and DivX, MP3 and JPEG, while audio formats from Dolby Digital and DTS get support too.

While there are no options to turn the new up-scaling technologies on or off, what you do have though are three options to control the picture with three presets: Sharp, Color and Contrast. Sharp will sharpen the picture where needed rather than the whole picture, Color ups the blues and greens, while Contrast deepens the blacks. The result is a noticeable visual improvement, making your DVD collection sharper whatever you opt to play.

The Toshiba XD-E500 is an impressive up-scaling DVD player that is not only affordable but will go a long way to giving new life to your DVD collection. It’s like watching your favorite DVD movies in a new light!

Recuva – File Recovery

Recuva (pronounced “recover”) is a freeware Windows utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!

You’ve accidentally deleted a file – what do you do?

Turn off any applications you don’t need, if you are trying to recover files from a media card, stop using that card immediately. Ideally install Recuva before you need it, as just browsing the internet and downloading the installer creates a huge number of temporary files and any one of them could over write the file you are trying to recover. When you need it, just scan the drive the file was on.

Did you know that despite repeated attempts to compromise its integrity, Wikipedia remains the most popular online encyclopedia on the Web. Since anyone can create or edit a Wikipedia page, both companies and individuals have been caught airbrushing and embellishing their own entries. The Wiki community usually intervenes, however — egregious edits get reported on WikiScanner and Wiki trolls are given the heave ho — or at least a Wiki humiliation. Now you can even enjoy Wikipedia’s wisdom without ever clicking on it. The Microsoft Live search engine automatically pulls up the first paragraph of any relevant Wikipedia entry in its search results. And a new print-it-yourself travel guide called Offbeat Guides (still in beta as of June 2008) culls information from the site to create custom travel guides tailored to the exact dates of your trip. Now that’s neat. This is According to www.time.com.

The following tips will help prepare your website for localization.

1. Encode and serve your pages as Unicode

If you are planning on localizing your site into different languages than the best encoding you should choose for your web pages is Unicode. Unicode is a kind of numeric presentation of characters that is two bytes and so can contain up to 65535 characters to show. There are no currently spoken languages that have more than 65,535 characters, so by using Unicode as your codepage you should not run into problems with characters not displaying. To represent your web page as a Unicode page, specify the character set as UTF-8 rather than the default add below line of code in the head part of your page:

<meta HTTP-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″>
