How to Use Blink:

Using this SIP client is very easy if you have idea on how to handle SIP clients. But don’t worry even if you don’t have any experience on it. After installing the software, click on the software icon to launch. You will see a window where you have to add a SIP account. If you have an existing SIP account, you can click on add an existing SIP account option and then write down the display name, SIP address and password of that account. Or, if you don’t have a SIP account, simply click on Create a free SIP account. If you are using your existing account, you will see all your contacts on the Blink contact list or you have to add your contacts manually if you are inside Blink with your new SIP account.

Let’s take a look at the features of this free SIP client:

With the help of this software, you can make audio conferences with multiple people. And it’s surprising to know that the number of participants you can add on a conference is unlimited. You can mute a specific person or also continue multiple conferences with one SIP account.
You can dial to telephone numbers or SIP addresses. You can reject calls with 603 Decline or 486 Busy. You can also check missed calls by looking inside history.
You can share your desktop like Mikogo. While sharing your desktop, you can combine your chat and audio session with it to get more fun on desktop sharing experience.

These are the features of the free version. There are some more features available in the pro version of Blink which is available in the Mac app store.

Digital camera with GPS and panoramic imaging

Casio Exilim GPS panoramic digital camera

The EX-H20G is equipped with a Hybrid-GPS system that combines a GPS engine with autonomic positioning made possible by a motion sensor. The system sets a new standard for geotagging and offers exciting new ways to use a digital camera. With the new EXILIM Engine HS, the EX-H20G features all of the essential capabilities expected from a camera. When used with Casio’s Single Frame SR Zoom function, the 24mm wide-angle, 10X optical zoom lens actually offers a 15X zoom range that maintains the image quality needed for 14.1-megapixel high-resolution photography.

Estimated price: US$299 = RM908.96

Exchange rate: US$1 = RM3.04

SLIDE PANORAMA

Capturing 360-degree panoramic images

This function makes it easy to take panoramic images, simply by panning the camera across the scene with the shutter button pressed.

LONG-LASTING BATTERY

The EX-H20G employs Casio’s advanced low-power technology, which ensures that the camera consumes only a small amount of power. Power consumption is suited for the various situations in which the EX-H20G will be used, including power-on and power-off, satellite acquisition and even while the three-way accelerometer and direction sensor are working in the background while the camera is off. With the EX-H20G, users can rest assured knowing that they won’t need to sacrifice battery life to enjoy highly precise and speedy position tracking.

Ontology language

In computer science and artificial intelligence, ontology languages are formal languages used to construct ontologies. They allow the encoding of knowledge about specific domains and often include reasoning rules that support the processing of that knowledge. Ontology languages are usually declarative languages, are almost always generalizations of frame languages, and are commonly based on either first-order logic or on description logic.
