The Amazon Cloud Player: Another Reason to Love Amazon!

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

They’ve been in a the business of selling music (and other things) for a while. Earlier this month Amazon launched their Android App Store but they’ve just stepped up their game again. Taking on Apple and Google, Amazon just launched it’s very own music streaming service. The Amazon Cloud Player lets you shop 15 million songs and play your music on any Android device, PC or Mac. Existing customers in the US can now upload their MP3 purchases to their 5GB cloud space and if 5GB isn’t enough you can upgrade to a one-year 20GB plan for FREE when you purchase an MP3 album.

Pretty sweet stuff if you ask me… Where you at Google Music?

A new green file format: WWF

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

SAVE AS WWF, SAVE A TREE Thats the pitch behind the new green file format called WWF. It’s essentially a PDF that can’t be printed out.

It’s a simple way to avoid unnecessary printing. So here’s your chance to save trees and help the environment. Decide for yourself which documents don’t need printing out – then simply save them as WWF.

The WWF file format is currently only available on Mac but they have a Windows version coming soon. Check it out and let us know what you think? Will you use it? I first have to stop thinking of wrestling every time I hear it…

TeuxDeux is an ADD kid’s lifesaver

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

I have ADD to the extreme and sometimes find it hard to… (distracted by shiny object)…. get all my tasks in order. I can’t tell you how many different things I’ve tried but I found TeuxDeux the other day and after using it a couple days, I’m hooked.

TeuxDeux is a simple, minimal browser-based to-do app that is easy to use, visually compelling and did I mention free? Features include week overview, delete/move tasks and an awesome ’someday’ bucket – because someday I’ll finish transferring all of our old posts from Joomla!

Glo is the coolest Bible [experience] ever

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I don’t know about you but I really hate reading and growing up in church people always told me I needed to read the Bible more (were they saying I was a bad kid?). Let me tell you if it was like this, I would have. Glo ($90) is by far the greatest evolution of something being used for thousands of years. We usually try and stay away from religion and politics here on Freakn’ Sweet but I thought this was such a cool approach using all kinds of interactive media that is was worth passing along.

Glo is an interactive Bible with a world of media, resources and tools to help you get closer to the Word of God. The Bible comes to life through Glo, allowing you to experience and explore the biblical world in ways never before possible.

Unlike wading through pages of scripture, Glo is organized both by order of the big book or by geography through a topographical map. Fly overhead in a manner similar to Live Earth and zero in on biblical locations to see HD video and documentaries, 360 degree photo representations, and photos of works of art.

Learn more and check out the video after the break. You can also buy Glo here. Read More

Is Bing Maps trying to out-do Google Maps?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Microsoft’s Bing Maps for the desktop–and soon for Windows Mobile–seems to be taking on Google Maps and doing it well. They already have some features in place such as the “Bird’s Eye” viewing feature that I like a lot. Over the next couple months Bing Maps will be getting some new local features so consumers can explore their neighborhoods, upload photos and have them stitched together, and have an interactive experience with the Bing Maps interface. So will it be better than Google Maps?

Tell us your thoughts, you can explore some of these new features at http://www.bing.com/maps/explore/.

~~Strike 1 for me is that it doesn’t work in Google Chrome.~~

Update: Stefan @bing let me know that it was an issue with not having Silverlight. Installed and now it works beautifully in Chrome. No more strikes…
