Betaworks to rebuild Digg from scratch in six weeks

No comments:
Rethink Digg is an initiative to resurrect recently-dead Digg, a very popular website to find out latest and hottest stories on the Internet.

Rethink Digg, lead by a New York-based team of engineers, designers and editors, says
...we are taking over Digg and turning it back into a startup. What they didn’t mention is that we’re rebuilding it from scratch. In six weeks.
This is also the team responsible for News.me. Developing and maintaining largely-scalable and popular websites, apps requires a lot of effort and this team is perfect for the job, creating a re-though, better version of Digg in six weeks.

Help them by filling out the first user survey hosted at http://rethinkdigg.com/survey. Collected information will be used to roll out a better Digg on August 1, 2012.

 3. Carefully delete the Updates folder.

You can also use this command in Windows command prompt to delete the registry key. You can even save it as a bat file on your desktop.

Youtube introduces feature to blur faces in a video

3 comments:
Many a times, you'd want to share a video clip on YouTube but without revealing identity of people in the video.
Earlier if you wanted to do that, you could either use a video processing software to blur all faces (with no precision or guarantee) before uploading the video or you could simply drop the idea of sharing the video on YouTube.
Now it's easy because of a feature recently introduced on YouTube which lets you blur every face in a video by simply pressing a button.
YouTube Policy associate Amanda Amanda Conway, in an official blog post, explained
Whether you want to share sensitive protest footage without exposing the faces of the activists involved, or share the winning point in your 8-year-old's basketball game without broadcasting the children's faces to the world, our face blurring technology is a first step towards providing visual anonymity for video on YouTube.
 

Making use of this feature is extremely easy. Select the video you want to process and then head over to Video Enhancement Page, look for Additional features and you should see a feature "Blur All Faces". Click on "Apply" and all faces from the video will be blurred magically. This feature is still in it's infancy and hence there's no guarantee that every face in the video will be detected and blurred successfully which is why users have been advised to watch preview of video before publishing it to the world.

This is an amazing feature which can save lives, help people stay anonymous while spreading a message, protest without worrying about their privacy. I'm sure a lot of people are going to love this. What do you think? Drop in your comments.
