gipfel helps to find the names of mountains or points of interest on a picture. It uses a database containing names and GPS data. With the given viewpoint (the point from which the picture was taken) and two known mountains on the picture, gipfel can compute all parameters needed to compute the positions of other mountains on the picture. gipfel can also be used to play around with the parameters manually. But be warned: It is pretty difficult to find the right parameters for a given picture manually. You can think of gipfel as a georeferencing software for arbitrary images (not only satellite images or maps). gipfel also has an image stitching mode, which allows to generate panorama images from multiple images that have been referenced with gipfel. The nice thing about the new image stitching is that it reuses the code that already existed for referencing images.

I'd like to try that GTD system that I keep hearing about. As an iPhone and mac user, what do you think are the best tools/applications/webApps I can use to Get Things Done ?
+1 on the book. OmniFocus (OF) is the best I've used and they also have an iPhone version. iGTD is a free, but annoying. OF is well worth it. Vitalist is a great online GTD alternative (I used it before OF was released) with iPhone support. IMHO, It is better than the popular RememberTheMilk (aka RTM).
- Zviki Cohen
If you decide to use Remember the Milk, ToDo by Appigo on the iPhone is a great app and worth the money. I use it constantly.
- Angel Smith
You should try a set of videos on GTD from the online soft i use, Nozbe. They are short and to the point, and the software itself should give you an idea of the mechanics of the system.

I am testing Things for both Mac and iPhone now. So far so good.
- Leon Ho
Like Leon, I'm currently using Things on Mac and iPhone. Excellent apps, excellent syncing between the two.
- Joel Falconer
things for me - great team, great development over time. looking forward to buy it.

What makes OF different is the amazingly-flexible outline capability. It is so easy to take a task and break it into sub tasks and than smaller sub-tasks, etc. until you're left with short term, simple, achievable tasks. Most other tasks managers provide fixed number of levels (2-3).

"The most important part of Swurl is the timeline view, where all the messages, bookmarks, album covers and photos you've saved in various services are organized in a calendar view. It's a great way to look back at days gone by - we've found already that it can't help but put your experiences into a different perspective."

For $5 per month (or only $45/year, because we’re bad at math), you can upgrade to a premium account. Premium users have their upload quota raised to 500 megabytes of new notes per month and get a number of other goodies, including enhanced security through SSL for all data transmission (free users only get SSL for login), priority access to the recognition queues (for much faster image recognition, even during peak busy times) and premium customer support.

Woooo hoo.. I love this 40 MB space every month!! Evernote rocks.. Free users will keep all of the features of the closed beta, including automatic synchronization between Windows, Mac, Web and mobile phone clients and advanced image search. There is no limit to the total number of notes that you can store. Free accounts can upload up to 40 megabytes of new notes into the service every month.
- Jigar Mehta
Evernote is really very cool and I love the option of accessing my notes using the web interface. You guys really rock!
- Sudar
excellent and welcomed news as I use Evernote more intensively for work. I love it.
- Eric Sausse
congrats evernote! i´m still not sure when to bookmark and when i should use evernote, but i try to figure it out in my daily experience...
- Dieter Schwarz
Congrats! You've got one of the best products most people don't know about, and I hope that it really takes off now.

Just setup Evernote on my Windows PC and Mac OSX one - cool application with potential easy aide memoire usefulness for me (my memory is going I'm sure of it..) Going to set it up on the Iphone next to complete the circle. Nice concept so far

“Think about this. TechCrunch blogs about MSFT/YHOO talks being back on and Yahoo's stock is up 5% on that news. TechCrunch just added $1.5 *billion* to Yahoo's market capitalization. Right now it's breaking on CNBC. Talk about the power of a blog. $1.5 billion. ” - http://friendfeed.com/e...

I'm not sure what it would give me that I don't already get, for free, from Google Apps for my domain. It might be a bit slicker in the interface but that's not worth the extra cost....via feedalizr
- Fraser Smith
I agree with Fraser on this one, Not really seeing the benefits. Although toss in Itunes storage and download with this and I would try it!.

I think its selling point is the push service to iPhone though. So it really depends if you think push service worth the price than syncing it thru USB?
- Leon Ho
I don't have an iPhone and, as all my e-mail is web based (GAfyD), I don't think I'd benefit anyway.
- Fraser Smith
i hope the push really works and is not as lame as the yahoo quasi-push. it's about time apple did something for .mac folks as this service has been the neglected step child for way too long.

The demo of push service looks pretty promising, but never know until we test the actual product.
- Leon Ho
If it's true push amongst every device in my home and abroad, then that alone is worth the price for me.
- Joel Falconer
I'd like to know if more than one iPhone can "sync" to the same account.

With no iPhone, what's in it for us desktop users?
- Paul W. Swansen
With regards to fixing .Mac it is a step in the right direct, but not far enough to get lots of people to buy in. I look at it as a very expensive way to wirelessy sync my contacts.
- Chris McLean
well, mobileme got me thinking about taking the one-year-subscription - it closes the gap between my mac and "regular pcs"
- Christoph Bauer
from twhirl
I think this is a ground breaking service... 3 years ago. LIttle benefit unless you have an iPhone and even then i don't know.
- Chris McLean
If you are happy using google apps there is no point. However if you are a small business and offline access is critical e.g. planes and trains then this is a simple alterative to exchange for an individual user. If apple add sharing of calendars/contacts plus private/public event invites then it could beat exchange for small businesses that use macs and iphones.

"Wenn da nur nicht diese ärgerliche Lady Bitch Ray-Affäre wäre. Die Idee, die Rapperin in "Candy Girls" auftreten zu lassen, soll nicht von Regisseurin Dehne, sondern von MySpace stammen. Lady Bitch Ray ist Mitglied des Portals. Über dessen Site vertreibt sie ihre Musik. Hier hat ihre Karriere begonnen. Erstaunlich, dass sich gerade MySpace nun "etwas überrascht" von ihrem vulgärem Jargon zeigt."
