PAINT.NET (free software)

Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.





It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. The source code is available under the terms of the MIT License.

Audi TV

Audi tv Goes on the Air.
Audi has started its own internet TV channel. With immediate effect, Audi tv is on the air in English and German at www.audi.com/tv and www.audi.de/tv. But the carmaker from Ingolstadt, Germany, goes far beyond what other brand channels have broadcast to date. "Audi tv provides viewers with exciting, original programming that offers new levels of access to the multi-faceted world of the brand with the four rings," commented Ralph Weyler, AUDI AG Board Member for Marketing and Sales.

Viewers are offered a wide range of exciting and informative reports from the fields of culture, sport, lifestyle and technology. Audi has produced its own magazine programmes in HDTV quality and in 16:9 format. The hosts present these shows 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Besides regular broadcasting times for the individual programmes on the "Live" channel, viewers can also call up reports about specific issues at will on four "on demand" channels. "We regard Audi tv as an innovative communications channel that operates like a TV channel but which also reflects the merging of traditional TV broadcasting with the internet," explains Hans-Christian Schwingen, Head of Marketing Communication at Audi.

"This mix of unconventionally-produced brand, technology and lifestyle topics makes our schedule very attractive. The range of topics we cover is broad enough to ensure that every viewer will find something to enjoy in the world of Audi," explains Liane Scheinert, Head of Audi tv.

Here are just a few examples of Audi tv programming: a stroll around the Bode Museum in Berlin, impressions from the catwalk during a fashion show by the star designer Michael Michalsky, kite surfing in Namibia, a flying visit to a perfumer in Grasse or the Audi nose team in Ingolstadt, portraits of an Audi DTM racing car driver, or the duel between an airboat and an Audi S4 Cabriolet in Florida's Everglades.

The channel is managed by a small team at Audi in Ingolstadt, with the support of editors from different divisions of the company, for example Marketing, Communications, International Sales, Design and Technical Development. The programmes are created by Ziggy Film Mediahouse in Munich. They are responsible for programme compilation, production management, project management, art direction and programming. Technical operation of the station is the responsibility of GRID TV AG in Munich.

Audi tv also benefits from the brand's existing TV experience. In 2005, Audi successfully launched the "Audi Channel", a digital TV channel broadcast to some 7.6 million households in the United Kingdom. (Taken from cartype.com).

Nissan to Offer Color-Changing Coupe

Picture this: You enter a car showroom and find yourself engulfed with gamut of cars. Feels crazy! Which one to pick? Nissan 350Z, Okeah! Which color? You like glistening black but your dear wife wants to go with haute Red. But a mutual decision calls for RED, for your lady’s love. But worse is within days of your purchase a new color hits the road and you are full of regret and remorse about your quick decision.

This happens with everyone and even has happened with me as well. In those pitiful times, I use to wonder if there could be some magic through which we can change the color. Howzaatttt? And now my weird thought seems to be turning into reality as Nissan is engaged in developing color-changing auto paint. Suiting the nature of your mood, your coupe will dress accordingly.

With a click of a switch, it would be switched from white to black to green and to whatever suits your silhouette. Mind you it doesn’t expect you to spend bucks on buying colorful paints as the actual paint itself is altering shades. This is possible due to a polymer-based substance with tiny iron oxide particles. Yah, it surely raises insurance glitches as you need to give a serious thought about which color to mention on your registration papers.
