Latest News: Microsoft Launches Webcam With 1080p HD Sensor

Microsoft has launched a new webcam dubbed LifeCam Studio with a Full HD (1080p) sensor.
The LifeCam Studio features 360-degree view range, improved auto focus and Microsoft’s TrueColor and ClearFrame technologies, which keep the colors bright and the video smooth even under low-light conditions.
Microsoft’s Windows Live Messenger 2011, which is currently available in beta, supports HD video calling in 16:9 format, a feature that should go hand-in-hand with the company’s new webcam.
However, bear in mind that the video software that comes with the camera caps video chatting/recording at 720p.
LifeCam Studio will be available exclusively at Best Buy stores later this month for an estimated price of $99.95. It’s currently available for pre-order on the retailer’s website.

An Easy Way to Embed YouTube Playlists

youtube video playlist
If you are planning to embed multiple YouTube videos on a web page, you may even consider putting all these videos into a single YouTube playlist and then embed the playlist into your page. This offers two advantages:
1. You can squeeze in more video content in the same amount of (visual) space.
2. A video playlist will reduce the (byte) size of your web page considerably because, technically, you now have to embed the YouTube Flash video player only once on your page.

How to Embed YouTube Video Playlists

The default embed code for any YouTube video playlist looks something like this (remember to replace the word “ID” with the actual YouTube playlist ID) :
<object width="480" height="385"> 
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/ID"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/ID" width="480" height="385"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
If you find the above code confusing, there a much simpler way as well.
YouTube offers an IFRAME option for embedding individual videos and the same code can be extended to embed video playlists as well.
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p/ID" 
width="100%" height="500" frameborder="0"></iframe>
You may have to modify the value of height and width attributes to make the video player fit your page.
What’s the advantage? The code looks clean and, going forward, Google could make these playlists HTML5 ready. Then your existing video playlist will play on browsers that don’t have the Flash plugin without you having to change the embed code.
Here’s a sample YouTube playlist embedded using the new IFRAME style.

Display Google Analytics Stats On Your Website

Some websites may like to make their traffic stats public so that both visitors as well as advertisers can gain more insights into the traffic patterns of that site.
Google Analytics, a free and unlimited web stats service, doesn’t offer public reports like Sitemeter or StatCounter. That means if you were to share your traffic details with another person, you’ll have to add him as a user to your Google Analytics account.
google analytics reports - public
Since that’s not a very practical solution, there’s a new service called SeeTheStats that will easily solve your problem.
Make your Google Analytics Reports “Public”
To get started, you simply need to authorize SeeTheStats to access your Google Account and then choose a profile of the website for which you want to make the data public. Then, with the magic of Google Analytics API, the service pulls your Analytics data and generate Flash-based charts (or JPG images) that you may embed as widgets on your website.
You may choose to display your website page-views, unique visitors, the time they spend on your pages, which countries they are coming from and almost every other metric that’s available in Google Analytics.
Here are some sample sites that have chosen to make their Google Analytics stats public via SeeTheStats.com.
The service will automatically update your traffic charts based on your current statistics. If you ever want to block SeeTheStats from further access to your Google Analytics data, you may simply delete the authorization access from your Google Accounts settings page.
