Pentax Obviously Has No Respect For Our Eyes [Cameras]
It brings me no pleasure to tell you that Pentax has done it again. Just when you thought they'd done enough harm to our eyes already, they've gone and painted their K-r in Kore Ja Nai robot colors. More »

Microsoft Kinect controlling Windows 7, exciting proof of concept
While hackers were quickly developing open-source drivers for Microsoft's new, depth-sensing motion capturing Kinect, it seems like Microsoft has an official partner in the shape of Evoluce, the multi-touch gesture experts. In a video (after the break), you can see two people using Kinect and Windows 7 to rotate and zoom 3D models, paint on a canvas, and browse websites.
The video, for the most part, isn't particularly impressive, but as always it's a proof of very exciting concepts. Instead of two people playing with banal holiday snaps, imagine some kind of interface that can be manipulated by multiple people at the same time -- a war game, perhaps. If you had Kinect on top of your computer monitor, you could lean back in your chair and surf sites with tiny hand gestures, rather than controlling a mouse or keyboard -- sign me up!
The most exciting thing, though, is that -- hopefully -- the software won't be too expensive. With an open-source driver in the wild, Evoluce can't charge too much. It's obviously in Microsoft's benefit to sell Kinect directly to Windows 7 (and 8!) users, too, so the software might even be bundled!Continue reading Microsoft Kinect controlling Windows 7, exciting proof of conceptMicrosoft Kinect controlling Windows 7, exciting proof of concept originally appeared on Download Squad on Mon, 22 Nov 2010 07:15:00 EST.

512MB free storage for your Dropbox, just for tweeting
Well, not just for tweeting... But Dropbox will boost your free account by a full 512MB if you're feeling social. Head on over to www.dropbox.com/free, sign in to your account, and you'll be given four tasks to complete. Each one is worth an additional 128MB and they're all pretty painless:
Connect Dropbox to your Facebook account
Connect Dropbox to your Twitter account
Follow Dropbox on Twitter
Provide a little feedback to the Dropbox team
The last one is actually pretty important. Dropbox is a fantastic service, and one way to make it even better is to offer up your two cents. I'll happily tell the team that I'm still waiting patiently for a webOS app in exchange for an extra 128MB.512MB free storage for your Dropbox, just for tweeting originally appeared on Download Squad on Tue, 23 Nov 2010 08:30:00 EST.

BridgeURL lets you send a tour of several websites in one link
Sometimes you may want to send someone a whole list of websites to look at. Maybe you even want them to look at the sites in a given sequence, like when you're sharing the results of a search for a new car or a vacation spot.
BridgeURL is a fairly elegant service that accepts a list of links, and spits out a single bit.ly link. When you click this link, you're taken to the first website on the list, but it has subtle semi-transparent overlays on both sides. The left one leads to the previous site on the chain, while the right leads to the next site. (They're not semi-transparent on the screenshot because when you hover over them, they turn solid.)
There's also a bottom bar, but it's fairly unobtrusive. There were no banners or pop-ups as far as I was able to see. The only annoyance with the service is that for some odd reason, it forces you to feed it URLs starting with http:// or https:// - meaning, you can't write "downloadsquad.com" or even "www.downloadsquad.com". I have no idea why it's not smart enough to figure out the http:// on its own. Other than that, it's a fairly handy service.Filed under: web 2.0BridgeURL lets you send a tour of several websites in one link originally appeared on Download Squad on Sun, 28 Nov 2010 14:00:00 EST.
