Gazopa , a search engine that uses features from an image to retrieve similar images, has been in private beta since it launched during TechCrunch50 last year .

YouTube alternative and video sharing site Motionbox has acquired competitor and fellow video site Viddyou for an undisclosed amount. Motionbox, which raised $6 million in funding earlier this year, is similar to YouTube in that it allows users to upload and share their videos on the web, but it includes a more in-depth suite of privacy settings that make it better suited for sharing clips with a select group of friends rather than the whole world. Motionbox also got a boost from AOL, which recommended Motionbox to as an replacement for its Video Uploads service, which was shut down last November. [...more]
Faculte , a startup that presented at last month’s DEMO conference, is looking to help companies produce high-quality video presentations online, without having to deal with the uploading and editing hassles associated with desktop apps. The service can be used for any kind of presentation, but the company is primarily marketing towards businesses looking to create product demos, internal training videos, and customer support movies, among other things. While there are obviously plenty of options out there for creating presentations, including PowerPoint and Apple’s Keynote, Faculte is looking to offer a solution that’s cloud-based so that presentations (called ‘broadcasts’ by the site) can be easily edited collaboratively.

Honestly, this song is catchy as hell. The kid looks like a bit of a tool singing at the Apple Store on 5th Ave in NYC, but he isn't the only vlogger to use the store as a recording studio. Uh, is that a homeless guy in the back [...more]

As a cyclist, I can appreciate the message being put forth in this Biking Rules PSA. As a Lego lover, I can't help but smile at the cuteness inherent in the violent auto accident portrayed at the end. Talk about mixed signals [...more]
![Nintendo DS "Sings" Daft Punk With a Little Help From Korg DS-10 [Nintendo DS]](http://tekpop.com/wp-content/themes/newspress/thumb.php?src=http://tekpop.com/wp-content/uploads/226ac3e48deus1283.gif&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=80)
The Internet is pretty ripe with cool Korg DS-10 videos, but this is the first one I've seen where the "game" got the venerable DS humming a tune alongside the duo from Daft Punk . Sorry if that makes me sheltered or whatnot, but impressed I am, nevertheless. Credit is due to Denkitribe, who used the musically inclined gray matter in his noggin to tweak the analog sound waveforms available in DS-10 to sound like words from Daft Punk's Harder Better Faster Stronger .

Picking out the right gadget to buy is so difficult that an entire publishing industry (Cnet, Engagdet, CrunchGear, GDGT) has grown around helping people sort through the process. A new site in private beta called Measy is taking a different approach. You take a quiz answering questions about what you are looking for in a digital camera, flat-screen TV, or netbook, and it comes up with the gadgets that match your requirements. [...more]
China Unicom, the country's second-largest carrier, will offer the iPhone starting in mid-October. And in pricing that is rather the opposite of the low upfront cost and high monthly pricing at AT&T, they'll be selling the device almost at cost and pairing it with plans that make ours look positively extortionate. Prices will start around $300 for an 8GB iPhone 3G, which seems a bit high until you consider the fact that they'll be paying less than $20 per month for service [...more]
