Walkers provides real-time weather forecast with your packet of crisps

Fancy having lunch outside the office but don’t know whether the sun will shine or the British rain will strike again? Walkers has worked with mobile visual discovery platform Blippar to come up with a nifty solution – the first-ever augmented reality weather forecasts straight from your packet of crisps.

walkers

Walkers is helping people plan where to enjoy their lunch break by letting them get the weather forecast via their crisp packet with Blippar’s free app. Walkers fans will be able to open the free app on their smartphone, hover it over the packet and see the weather forecast for today and tomorrow appear instantly on their phone screen. They can then share the forecasts with their friends via their social networks, helping them arrange group outings really easily.

The forecast is updated in real-time so users can always be guaranteed to get the latest information. The blipp will be available throughout August and September from all packets of Walkers crisps, letting people make the most of any summer sunshine while it lasts.

In case you haven’t heard about Blippar, it’s the first image-recognition app for smartphone targeted at brand-customer interaction. A free-to-download app, Blippar opens up in camera mode and becomes a single, magic ‘lens’ through which favourite products, newspapers, magazines and advertising in the real world are instantaneously recognised and converted into fun, informative digital experiences.  Having taken Europe by storm throughout 2011, Blippar is now launching its model into the USA and internationally.  The Blippar app is available for free in the Apple App Store and Android Market (variable experience subject to handset).

And here is a short video of it in action:

I can see this being a really good excuse to eat more crisps!

Raspberry Pi Gertboard now available

If you have a Raspberry Pi you might want to get your a Gertboard – read on for more.

CDW at the Cambridge Raspberry Jam - 5

What’s a Gerboard you may ask? This is what Liz over at Raspberry Pi said:

If you want to use your Raspberry Pi to drive motors to open doors, lift things, or power robotics; if you want to sense temperature and switch devices on and off; if you want to flash lights; if you want to teach it to play the glockenspiel; or if you want to learn about electronics from scratch, then Gertboard is for you. (This is the stuff I’m talking about when I blither on about physical computing here.) It comes with an assembly manual and a user manual (both of the above are direct download links to PDFs), which also act as a pair of teaching guides, bundled with plenty of programs to show you how to put things together.

Gertboard is packaged as a kit. It doesn’t come preassembled; you will have to solder it together yourself. Soldering is easy, as we’ve said before (seriously – if I can solder, so can you), and we encourage you to have a go. If you make mistakes they’re easy to correct, and once you’ve finished building your Gertboard you’ll have a very useful piece of hardware, a new skill, and a lovely warm sense of achievement.

Gertboard isn’t an official Raspberry Pi Foundation product, but it’s designed and produced by someone who’s right at the heart of the Foundation, it fits the Foundation’s goals perfectly, and we endorse it wholeheartedly; we hope to see lots of kids using it as a learning platform along with the Raspberry Pi. Go and preorder one now (lead times should be short); they’re only £30, and I predict they’re going to go like hot cakes.

And here is a picture of the man himself.

Denon introduces Cocoon Home and Portable iDevice docks with AirPlay

Denon has introduced the Cocoon Home and Cocoon Portable, two £499 streaming speaker docks that support AirPlay.

Denon Cocoon Portable_side

Unlike conventional docks the Cocoon is compatible with every mobile device using
Apple iOS, Android or Windows via Denonʼs advanced App. Furthermore, AirPlay
technology makes it possible to stream music wirelessly throughout the house, to
multiple Cocoons simultaneously while using iTunes. A similar feature is offered with
Microsoft Windows Play To, letting you stream to the Cocoon from almost any PC,
Laptop or tablet. “Connectivity, ease of set-up, intuitive use and wireless audio
streaming are important for potential buyers at the moment”, says Richard van der
Avoird, Product Manager for Sound Systems at Denon. “With the Cocoon, we make
listening to digital music comfortable regardless of where it is stored in the home and
stylish on a whole new level, shaping the audio experience in a unique way”.

A two-way speaker system, a large acoustic chamber, Denon Dual Layer Cones, bass
ports and Denon amplification (comprising 4 x 25W Class D amps), all work in
combination with advanced DSP technology, to deliver the Cocoonʼs exceptional
sound. And with the ergonomic remote control, it is easy to operate the Cocoon while
the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch is docked. Mirroring the Cocoon shape, this handset
also offers control of the built-in Internet radio or other sources.

New technologies and developments are key drivers for the speaker dock market and
they are present in the state-of-the-art Cocoon. This refers not only to sound itself – but
to interactivity and connectivity as well. It starts with the initial setup where the ʻNetLinkʼ
feature automatically connects the Cocoon to the iOS usersʼ wireless home network.
Unlike other docks it has sources built-in, such as Internet radio on board with the
possibility to store three favourite stations on the dock. Furthermore, it supports a wide
range of audio formats (MP3/WMA/WAV/FLAC/LPCM) and can access and play music
that is stored on any PC, Mac or NAS drive that is connected to the network. And with
the free-of-charge Denon Cocoon App on mobile devices, every function can be
controlled easily.

The name Cocoon derives from the shape of the devices. Its stylish, organic design
enhances any home. The form encases and protects the latest technologies, releasing
only perfect sound. Impressive attention to detail is reflected in every piece of the
construction. The luxurious feel comes from high quality covers, the heavy aluminium
base and the double shot injected back. This consists of a highly polished transparent
layer sitting above a high gloss layer below, resulting in an incredibly deep finish.

The first generation of the Cocoon is made up of two models: the Cocoon Home and
the Cocoon Portable. The Cocoon Home is offered in white and black. The Cocoon
Portable, available in black, is the Cocoon Homeʼs smaller sibling and has a robust
monocoque cabinet. A built-in rechargeable li-ion battery ensures up to five hours
playback while the grille of this water resistant model, made of reinforced metal, and
the rubberized buttons prevent sand or dust to enter the product. Its remote control can
even be stored in a special repository. With its built in carry handle, it is perfect for
wherever the user wants to enjoy this brand new sound experience.

The new Cocoon models will be available from August 2012. For more information, visit
www.denon.eu/cocoon.

More Details on Windows Live Essentials 2012

2

Microsoft has released some additional details on other Windows Live Essentials 2012 applications.  Read on for details.

Windows Logo

Earlier this evening, I told you about the Photo Gallery and Movie Maker applications that were updated as part of Windows Live Essentials 2012.  Microsoft also posted up about a few other applications, and there is a big caveat if you are using Live Mesh: installing Live Essentials 2012 will replace Live Mesh with SkyDrive.  Avoid this upgrade if you want to continue to use Live Mesh.  Here is what Microsoft posted:

What is included in Windows Essentials 2012?

Windows Essentials 2012 includes our new SkyDrive for Windows app as well as Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Family Safety*, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Messenger, Outlook Connector Pack and Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker.

I use Windows Live Mesh. What happens if I install the new Movie Maker or Photo Gallery as part of Windows Essentials 2012?

If you have Windows Live Mesh installed, it will automatically be removed if you install the new Movie Maker or Photo Gallery (available as part of Windows Essentials 2012).

Microsoft SkyDrive will be installed in place of Windows Live Mesh. To sync folders from the cloud to all of your PCs, you will need to install SkyDrive on all of your PCs or Macs.

What is the difference between Windows Live Mesh and SkyDrive?

Please read this article for more information.

Can I keep using Windows Live Mesh?

Yes. If you do not install Windows Essentials 2012 on any of your PCs, Windows Live Mesh will keep working just like before.

If you have uninstalled Windows Live Mesh, you can still reinstall it. It’s available as part of Windows Live Essentials 2011.

Please note that you cannot install and run both Windows Essentials 2012 (with the new Movie Maker or Photo Gallery) and Windows Live Mesh on the same PC.

Big hat tip to Jim Collison (@jcollison on Twitter) for pointing this issue out to me.  Jim, I owe you a beer!

Seagate Completes Lacie Acquisition

0

Seagate announced the completion of the Lacie acquisition.  Read on for details.

seagate_2c_pos-wR

We told you about Seagate’s pending purchase of Lacie here.  On Friday, Seagate announced the completion of the acquisition of a controlling interest in Lacie.  Here is what they announced on Friday:

CUPERTINO, CA and PARIS, FRANCE – Following their press releases issued on May 23, 2012 and June 14, 2012, Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) and LaCie S.A. (Euronext: LAC) announced today the completion of the purchase by Seagate of all of the shares of Philippe Spruch and his affiliate, representing 64.5% of the outstanding shares of LaCie for a provisional price of €4.05 per share. The price payable to Philippe Spruch and his affiliate may be increased by 3%, to €4.17 per share, in the event that within six months following today’s date, Seagate holds at least 95% of the share capital and voting rights of LaCie.

The completion of the transaction follows the required clearances from the French Ministry of Finance and the US and German Antitrust Authorities.

As a result of the completion of the transaction, Seagate intends to file in the coming weeks with the French Autorité des marches financiers an all-cash simplified tender offer on the remaining LaCie shares.

As previously announced, Ricol Lasteyrie & Associés has been appointed as independent expert by the Board of Directors of LaCie on May 23, 2012.

Following discussions with the Board of Directors of LaCie, in particular with the independent members, Seagate has increased the proposed offer price at which it will file its tender offer to €4.50 per LaCie share (without an additional 3% price supplement in the event that a squeeze-out procedure is implemented). Seagate may carry out a squeeze-out procedure at the same price of €4.50 per LaCie share if it were to hold at least 95% of the shares and voting rights of LaCie.

The Board of Directors welcomes the revised offer price and intends to support the revised offer as long as the final report of the independent expert affirms the valuation.

Seagate will continue to purchase the remaining shares with an all-cash offer to take out the remaining shareholders.  Seagate’s rationale for the acquisition was offered up in our first article on this transaction:

“Seagate has a strong commitment to the growing consumer storage market and bringing the most dynamic products to market. LaCie has built an exceptional consumer brand by delivering exciting and innovative high-end products for many years. This transaction would bring a highly complementary set of capabilities to Seagate, significantly expand our consumer product offerings, add a premium-branded direct-attached storage line, strengthen our network-attached storage business line and enhance our capabilities in software development,” said Steve Luczo, Seagate chairman, president and CEO. “We are also excited that Philippe, who is a true visionary and leader in the consumer storage business, would join Seagate to run our consumer storage products organization.”

“With the proliferation of devices and content being shared and stored today, consumer demand for high-quality branded storage solutions continues to grow,” said Philippe Spruch, LaCie’s chairman and CEO. “We are excited about the potential for this combination to benefit customers and employees by creating significant scale and opening up new markets. We look forward to making the resources of a much larger company available to our customers around the world.”

The fit seems sensible here; with Lacie’s strength in the consumer space and the additions to the premium NAS line, Seagate seems to be strengthening their position in the consolidating storage market.

Seagate shares closed at $32.59, up $0.69.

Microsoft Releases Updated Windows Live Applications

1

Microsoft updated their Windows Live Essentials applications today, including an update to Movie Maker, Photo Gallery and Windows Live Writer.  Read on for details.

MSLogo

Microsoft released Windows Live Essentials 2012 today, updating its suite of Windows add-on applications.  Here is what they announced:

Today we’re happy to announce new versions of Movie Maker and Photo Gallery for Windows 7 and Windows 8. We’ve added a few new capabilities while also taking advantage of some advances in Windows 8. Movie Maker and Photo Gallery are two essential Windows applications hundreds of millions of people have come to rely on for making the most of your photos and videos. And with this release, we’ve given you a few more reasons to enjoy them even more.

Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is a great way to turn your ordinary photos and videos into a captivating story. Whether you’re making a short clip to quickly share or taking your time to make the most of that big event, Movie Maker showcases your skills as a budding film-maker. With major advancements in hardware accelerated graphics in Windows 8, Movie Maker has evolved to include these state of the art enhancements.

Video Stabilization: Sometimes the video we take is just little too shaky; especially as we take more and more videos using our phones and smaller video cameras. Movie Maker has taken advantage of new technology in Windows 8 to smooth out your wobbly videos. Just select the shaky video and choose from a variety Video stabilization options and Movie Maker will smooth it out.

Music: The one thing that can really make a difference in a movie is the soundtrack. But it can be hard to find not only the right piece of music but a version with the appropriate rights. And even if you choose a song from your own collection, it runs the risk of being stripped out once it’s published to YouTube for not having the appropriate rights. So we decided to work with AudioMicro, Free Music Archive and the Vimeo Music Store to make it easy to find music that is not only fitting for video, but also has the proper rights. Now when you go to add music to your movie in Movie Maker, you have the option of getting music from your PC or from three varied music services.

So, you have the music but what about a way to control how well it plays with your videos. We’ve added waveform visualizations to both the music track and your videos so you can quickly see where you need to cut or trim your video to match your music.

Text Effects: Including text in movies continues to be a popular way to add depth or highlights but sometimes the font can get lost making it hard to read. One way to enhance the text is to place an outline around your text. Now when you add text in Movie Maker, you can also add an outline that makes the text stand out from the background.

H.264 by default: One of the most popular video formats out there today is h.264 which is rapidly becoming the default format for cameras and video sharing. Now Movie Maker saves to this format by default making it easier to publish your video to popular sharing websites, managing your videos and your files between services and devices.

Photo Gallery

In Windows 8, Windows Photo Gallery is the number one way to organize, fix, find and share your photos and videos. And with advanced features like Photo Fuse and Panorama, Photo Gallery continues to bring creative enhancement to your memories.

Auto Collage: Trying to create a collage of photos on your own is hard and usually requires expensive and complex software. With Auto Collage in Photo Gallery you just select seven or more photos and we’ll arrange them in a collage for you. Making a new photo our of existing photos has never been easier. Whether you want to make a special print of a collection of photos or you want a nice start or ending to a movie highlight with some of your favorite scenes.

Vimeo: We’re excited to announce Vimeo as our new publish partner! Now you can share your videos straight to Vimeo from both Photo Gallery and Movie Maker. Once you have your project saved and are ready to share it with the world, just click on the Vimeo button in the share gallery, choose from a variety of options that Vimeo provides and you’re done. Now your movies can become a part of an ever growing community of film makers who call Vimeo their home.

They did not mention Windows Live Writer as being new, but it is included in the download and works well (I did this post in WLW12).  Unfortunately, WLW12 is not an RT application, so no WLW for you unless you go Surface Pro!  Note that this update is for machines running Windows 7 or Windows 8.

If you are running Windows Live Essentials 2011, go ahead and download the update here.
