App aims to be Pandora for restaurant recommendations, and more – vía @springwise

The app is available for free on the App Store and Google Play. While Nara is currently concentrating on the restaurant vertical, reports suggest it is looking to move into doing the same for other fields, such as the hotel sector.

Created by a team consisting of “neuroscientists, computer scientists, astrophysicists, artists and entrepreneurs”, the app first asks users a few questions about the kind of eateries they like, based on food types, atmosphere and demographic, among others. When a suggestion is made, it can either be upvoted or downvoted depending on the user’s opinion, which can be logged either before or after they’ve tried it out. Foursquare check-ins are integrated to keep track of where users have been before, and which restaurants they like to go to regularly. By checking this against the decisions made by every other Nara user, the system quickly begins to intuit the kinds of decisions made by those with similar tastes.

Revista Apertura

Dos amigos crearon una app para que conseguir un vehículo no sea una odisea.

«¡Taxi!” El clásico grito a mano levantada en las calles porteñas corre riesgo de entrar en la lista de costumbres argentinas en desuso por la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías. A la proliferación de servicios de radio-llamada, ahora, aparecen nuevas formas de pedir un taxi en Buenos Aires. Conocedor de la idiosincrasia del mundo negro y amarillo por ser tercera generación de una familia vinculada al negocio de los taxis, Matías Biglieri (28) creó, junto a Federico Scaduto (28), Dinerotaxi.com, una aplicación para smartphones a la que presentan como “la evolución del sistema de radio taxi”.

Artículo completo 🙂

“Sólo se necesita bajar la aplicación para que, de manera rápida y segura, enviemos el taxi al lugar donde uno está. A través de un celular o smartphone, localizamos la ubicación del usuario y le mandamos el taxi más cercano”, explican los emprendedores, ambos, expertos en sistemas y desarrollo de software, que se conocieron trabajando en Telecom. “Es fácil: en dos clicks, uno tiene un auto esperándolo. Y, además, le mandamos la información del chofer y del móvil”, agregan.

Google Keep vs. OneNote vs. Evernote – Thnxz to Tony Bradley @bradleystrategy

Google shook things up last week when it dusted off its old Notebook service and relaunched it as Keep. Google’s new software muscles in on the space currently dominated by Microsoft OneNote and Evernote, two note-taking apps that save your text, Web links, photos, audio recordings, and more, helping to keep your life organized.

Think of these tools as sticky notes on steroids. They’re great for managing day-to-day errands and stashing rich media content, but also exceptional for organizing tasks at work.

http://www.pcworld.com

Whether you’re about to start using a note-taking app or are considering defecting from your current choice, you must first think about the features you need most. One app may excel at OCR support and another might be best for anywhere access, while a third may be ideal for content sharing within a team. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a closer look at how Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote, and Evernote stack up in a variety of categories.

Pricing

Google Keep is available online and via an Android app. Both iterations are free. OneNote and Evernote have Web and app elements that you can use for free, plus paid premium editions.

OneNote is available as part of a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, starting at $100 per year per home user. It also comes bundled within Office desktop suites starting at $140. As a stand-alone product, OneNote 2013 costs $70. You can use OneNote for free as a Web app through Microsoft SkyDrive, and on Windows Phone, Android, or iOS. The Office version provides additional features, such as the ability to clip screenshots or «print» documents directly to OneNote.

Evernote is free for up to 60MB per month of data. The data cap of the Premium upgrade ($5 per month or $45 per year) jumps to 1GB of bandwidth each month. You also get faster performance, better security, and deeper search capabilities. Evernote for Business gives IT admins oversight and control, with additional collaboration options, for $120 per user per year.

Winner: All three note-taking platforms have free options, so we can’t ding any of the contenders for being overpriced. That said, Evernote’s paid versions offer greater functionality through apps and add-ons.

360cities.net / todo para ver! – @360cities

360Cities es la mayor comunidad de vistas panorámicas en 360 ° compartiendo cientos de miles de lugares extraordinarios, retratados por los fotógrafos especializados de «alta definición y realidad virtual».

What are these photos on 360cities.net?

You’re looking at 360 panoramas. They could be also be called 360° panoramas, 360-degree panoramas, omniviews, VR photos, virtual reality panoramas, sphere panoramas, etc. but we call them «360 panoramas» or simply «panos» here on 360Cities.

Panoramic photography of some kind has existed for more than a century. You can see many examples of 360 degree photos from 100 years ago. Nowadays you can see a boom in this kind of visualization technology due to the ever-reducing cost of the technology, availability of software, abundance of publishing tools. One of the most important aspects is also that the broadband internet made it possible to easily share this kind of photography with others. 360 Panoramas are the new way of showing places, events and businesses on the internet.

Three flavors of panoramas

In terms of the format of panoramas, there are essentially three different kinds:

Partial panoramas that you know mainly from traditional landscape photography. They are created by stitching (assembling) of multiple normal photos together side-by-side, which creates a photo with much wider angle that would be possible with a normal lens.
360Cities does not support partial panoramas.
Cylindrical 360º panoramas – One notch higher are 360° photos which capture the whole field of view in all directions around the photographer. These are sometimes called cylindrical panoramas. They cover 360-degrees around but not up and down view. These are too created by stitching multiple photos together. The only real difference from partial panoramas is that you need to make sure the first and the last photos overlap. There are also so called «one shot» 360-degree lenses but they are by definition very low quality compared to the traditional stitched panoramas.
Spherical panoramas are the top of the line which not only capture the 360-degree field of view but in which you can also look up and down. They can even be taken in a way that you can’t see the tripod nor the photographer’s shadow in the picture.

360Cities supports cylindrical and spherical panoramas. See also Requirements for Panoramas Published on 360Cities.

The secret of creating 360 panoramas

So, what is the secret of creating a 360 panorama? It’s actually pretty easy. You, the photographer, choose a place from which you want the panorama to be taken. Then you start taking photos around yourself until you cover the whole intended field of view with photos. It does not really matter what camera or lens you use, you can even use a cell phone, as long as the photos overlap. The easiest, though, is to use a digital SLR camera with a fisheye lens. The wider the viewing angle of the lens is, the less photos you need to cover the entire field of view. With a cell phone, you will need many photos, with a fisheye lens, you need as little as three to cover the entire sphere.

Take a look at the view that shows how to take fully spherical 360 panoramas without the visible tripod:

Equipment you need

It does not really matter at all what you start with. Really. You can test it with your cell phone or an old compact camera. You just need ANY camera. As with any craft, the right tools can help you get the job done faster, easier, and better. Once you’re hooked, then you can think about getting the best tools for the job! For example, we recommend you get a digital SLR with a fisheye lens (e.g. Sigma 8mm 3.5 or Samyang 8mm F3.5). Once again. To start and to try it out, it doesn’t really matter. Just make sure you take photos that overlap and try it, go out there and take some panoramas!
