Picasa 3 on Fedora 13

Oh yeah. After few weeks of using Picasa 3.0, Picasa suddenly crash. Nvm.

Here is the workaround.

Picasa 3.0 for Fedora. Can get it here : http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm

Stated there, All downloads are approximately 30 MB: Picasa software (13 MB), Wine (11 MB) and Gecko engine (6 MB).

So, I assume Gecko is the culprit.

Let's setup Gecko first.

Refer here. http://wiki.winehq.org/picasa

You need winetricks. From winetricks, pick Gecko. Then OK.
Make sure you already have cabextract. yum install cabextract.




Then,



If you behind proxy, set your proxy at /etc/wgetrc

Done.

Google goggle coming to iPhone

What so fuss about Google goggle?

Google Goggles lets you search Google using pictures from your camera phones. We take an image as input, and using several image recognition backends (object recognition, place matching, OCR, etc), we return relevant search results

So? Checkout this video.



Every time someone asking me about Android, this is the software I did mention after all the "What is Android?" explanation.

Since I less travelling and maybe someday, for any reason I will travel to anyplace you can name it, this is the first software that will come in my mind.

Snap the picture, and Google goggle will do the job for you by acquiring any related information, so you will not bother to ask people. Independent huh?

As much as Google goggle is made for Android, I'm looking forward for this software coming to iPhone. With the new push for Google app in iPhone, this is the major step for users to maximize the Google app.

And, to have Google Talk standalone app with backgrounding would be awesome! :)
