There is GPS data in the iPhone Videos! [geek post]

February 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Computer, Default, Geek

// This is pretty geeky stuff but it is really fun for me.  Basically it is about GPS data in iPhone 3GS videos and how I now access it.
I knew the iPhone 3GS’s pictures had GPS coordinates in them. You can easily access this data via the ‘exif_read_data’ in PHP 4.2.0 and above. [...]

In a tweet today from TechCrunch, they point out that the iPad might run Flash media player.

January 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Default, Geek

Google returns how many queries a second?

December 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Computer, Default, Geek

I was reading an article from Joe Stump on Distributed vs Redundant systems and started geeking around.
I chose Google and how I would implement the their entire model. I read another article where Google serves up 293 Million queries a day (March 2009 numbers). I looked at that number and thought it was unimpressive. [...]
