Jesse Skinner has created FlickrCash , an Ajax application to search, manage and view their photos on Flickr , using jQuery as a driver. This is an interesting example of how a service created by the use of another. Indeed FlickrCash takes data, photos, right from Flickr , despite its own separate login and its environment. As shown in the video below, the navigation is really original, a multitude of images all at once!

, che verrà usato nell'attesissimo titolo Crysis , sparatutto in soggettiva per PC e console Next Generation (presumibilmente Xbox 360 e PlayStation 3). The software company Crytek, who wrote the beautiful Far Cry and Far Cry Instincts , has developed a graphics engine with exceptional features, the CryEngine 2, which will be used in the highly anticipated title Crysis , first-person shooter for PC and console Next Generation (presumably Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3).
We must now admit that the level of detail rendering (real time) is reached as to make it really difficult to distinguish images of the game and those of a normal photograph. See for example the two pictures below and try to understand what is artificial and what is not (more pictures are available on 7 new Crysis screenshots to real-life comparison - the Blog youNewb ).

A video demo of the game, although the resolution does it justice, it can give an idea of ​​what to expect. Below I have added the video editor of levels, so you feel like you are created these wonderful locations. If you look on YouTube you will find even more: click here .

Xopus is an XML editor (HTML) in WYSIWYG mode working inside the browser. I had already noticed some time ago, thanks to an article released on Ajaxian . I mention this now because it remains an attractive proposition in view web2.0/editor. It is an interesting experience! Xopus has developed really well (with Italian support), with an excellent implementation of the context menu, although still not fully cross-browser, the current release 3.1 is supported only Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6 and 7 ) although developers have promised as soon as at least a version compatible with Firefox (February 1 has been released in alpha version 3.1.1 compatible with Firefox 2.0 +).

As discussed elsewhere, the question of compatibility (cross browser) via the browser, and penalizes slows the development of tools that, even without resorting to special technologies like Adobe Flash or Java applet, could bring a significant contribution to the Community! Conttibuto prevented - at last - from unnecessary internal battles of the current producers of browsers: IE, Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, Safari, ...!

Viewing the demo you can see something more than just HTML editors, to put the word poor. Xopus proposes both the traditional structure of the editor, and advanced features of Microsoft Word style. It is possible, in fact, inserted within the page real smart objects that meet certain characteristics, making Xopus a particular case.

As indicated on the website:

Xopus is a good solution for any business That has a back-end content management system and front-to-end publishing systems and Therefore Which two systems use the examination information. That structure to information, to make ends meet Both, Therefore is a must.

Poete watch the video demonstration that introduces the advanced editing features. Also you can try a demo directly.

We often talked about the use of the Web Application (Web2.0) and how the software market is moving to online applications typically installed on our machine. Last important signal to Adobe (see Net Software ) that wants to release - or is starting to drop - a series of software online.

Today I propose you a really great tool, Weebly , which aims to create a website online, complete with domain (tuoweb. weebly.com) and tools for editing really interesting. See the video demo below.

The idea, of course, is not new, but the approach Weebly clearly shows why short to have Adobe Photoshop online will really be a step forward. In addition to ease of use this service offers interesting editing tools such as RSS readers, inclusion of Google Maps, inclusion of videos (from various sources) and more. The use of Ajax and DHTML (Dynamic HTML) is really used for, which makes the editing job really easy and affordable for everyone.
The interesting point, in my opinion, is that when you insert an image you can turn a small editor for daily operations as diverse as Crop - crop - and Resize - resize.

We just rolled out a couple of new features: You can now Edit, Crop, Resize, Adjust and Enhance your pictures in the new integrated image editor Snipshot, we'll present a warning (but allow you to continue) if you are using an unsupported browser, we released some small updates to the themes, and a couple other small changes & fixes.

The fundamental issue lies here. A quick tools like Weebly can use image editor like Adobe Photoshop, which will make the business of Web Design Online like traditional editing.
Obviously this is only part of what might happen; editor Video, Audio and Text are the next advanced to forcefully enter online!
