Download XBMC ~ Best media player for HTPC, netbook

MPCSTAR is of the video players that I like. Using it on my desktop PC now. It has lot of codecs supports so no worry of playing all type of video formats. However, I discovered that MPCSTAR is slowed on Asus Eee PC 1215B netbook with AMD Fusion APU E450 CPU and Radeon HD 6320 GPU. It does not optimize to use Radeon HD GPU. And AMD Fusion APU E450 CPU does not have enough power to play Full HD 1080p video. Thanks to XBMC. I am able to play all 1080p videos like MP4, MKV formats on my Asus Eee PC 1215B netbook smoothly now.

How to measure heart rate with Android phone?

Measure heart rate with Android phone? Seriously, can a smartphone do that? I stumbled on a free Android application ~ Instant Heart Rate by Azumio Inc. It turns your Android phone into a heart rate monitor. In short, it uses phone built-in camera to track color changes on the fingertip that are directly linked to your pulse. This is the very same technique that medical pulse oximeters use. Accurate or not? Try it out yourself to find out…
