I’m porting GMS to .NET/WPF. The result looks promising.
This is a 10.000×10.000 pixel map of the entire Europe with Karlsruhe in the middle.
And counting…
Managed to get a quick update in the weekend.
PS: The server is somehow shaking.
Google Maps Saver on Softpedia [Free and Clean]
October 21st, 2009 | Posted by in Personal - (2 Comments)
There is a new beta for download. It fixes the issue with big resolution maps. Now you can save over 10.000 x 10.000 pixels maps.
Based on a Firefox Hack, Google Map Saver (GMS) offers you an easy way to download huge Google Maps on your PC as JPEG, PNG-8, PNG-24 or BMP files that you can carry with your favorite device. GMS is light (only ~334 KBytes) and very easy run since doesn’t have an installer. GMS doesn’t write Windows Registry and doesn’t leaves other traces on your PC. Just download it on your Desktop and Run-It! GMS runs on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Since is using Internet Explorer for retrieving the Google Maps, GMS requires Internet Explorer to be installed on your machine.
Techcrunch writes that The Piratebay was sold for ~8 million USD.
It is obvious that owner will clean out their database from illegal torrents.
Meanwhile the Google Pirate Bay is still there.
I was trying today to search a tool or something that calculates the shortest distance between two points on Earth.
My first thought was to google for it (as usual), but since there was some noise a while ago about Wolfram|Alpha I jump there for a search.
I’ve typed in: shortest path between two points on a sphere
and I got “Wolfram|Alpha isn’t sure what to do with your input.” and Wolfram|Alpha sent me to the mathematical model of the Sphere.
Then I googled the same phrase
First hit sends me to a Mathematica applet (a product of Wolfram). So, google knows much more about Wolfram that Wolfram itself.
The second link was an interactive web based Google Map, very easy to use wich gave me the exact response I’ve searched.
I know that Wolfram|Alpha is not a search engine and is maybe in Alpha state, but if it fails giving me responses on basic geometry questions then what the hell it is?
Hype?!
O chestie mai putin stiuta despre Google
February 24th, 2009 | Posted by in Life Hacks | Work - (0 Comments)Google nu afiseaza mai mult de 1000 de link-uri pentru un search. Singura sansa pentru a vedea “peste” bariera asta este sa-ti revizuiesti search query-ul sau sa folosesti niscava hack-uri
