New York subway schedule turned into a beautiful, musical visualization (video)

HTML5, JavaScript and a tiny pinch of Flash. Those are your ingredients for building one of the neatest, simplest websites we've come across in a long time. Conductor, as its maker Alexander Chen dubs it, is a visualization built on New York's publicly available subway schedule API. It shows the progress of the Big Apple's underground carriers throughout the day and garnishes the experience with a delightful musical trick every time two lines cross. You can see it on video after the break or just hit the source link and experience it for yourself.

This Video Will Further Ruin Crime TV Shows for You [Video]

After seeing this clip I have decided to never watch another CSI-style TV show again. I just can't possibly do that after having such a ridiculous parody video hit so close to home. More »

Enchanted Keyfinder quickly discover or change your Windows and Office product keys

We've all been there: you need to reinstall Windows or Office, but you can't find the blasted product key! Perhaps you've mislaid the disc's paper wallet, or more commonly the sticker on the bottom of your laptop has been rubbed off. The only solution, other than grabbing a pirate version, is to use a tool like Enchanted Keyfinder.

Enchanted Keyfinder, which is free, open-source, and only 400KB big, does just two things: it shows you the product keys for your Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP, Vista and 7) and Office (2007 and 2010) installations -- and in the case of Windows XP, it also lets you change your product key. If you have a broken Windows installation, you can also use Enchanted Keyfinder with a Linux live CD; neat. There's also the option to export your product keys to a flat text file, which is probably a good idea!

In the next version, the developer wants to add remote registry access, which could be a handy tool for a system administrator. He also wants to add serial key snooping for other programs. Incidentally, if you're looking for a tool that can extract product keys from programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver, Softkey Revealer is still going strong!

Wolfram Alpha opens up API, makes it free for personal use

Wolfram Alpha is already very powerful; just the other day I used it to chart United States crime rates, because I wanted to see at a glance if they've been going up or down over the last few years.

And now, Alpha has gone on to make all of its rich data freely available via a new API for developers. This means it's now easier than ever for developers to query Alpha and pull specific information back into their app for display to their users.

The API returns the result as a bunch of XML, which is very easy to slice and dice. You can either use Alpha's built-in charts and graphs, or just get the numbers and display them as part of your app.

Better yet, the API is free for personal use. I'm not sure what exactly qualifies as "personal use", but that does sound encouraging.

If this piqued your curiosity, you might be happy to know that Wolfram has put together a nice API Explorer. That's what you see in the screenshot: You can just feed it with any query you would feed into the "regular" Web interface, and then analyze the XML it spews out. Now we just have to wait and see what apps developer community comes up with!

ABC to Revive iPad Sync App with Grey's Anatomy [TV]

ABC's My Generation was a turd. Mercifully, the network canceled it after just two episodes. The My Generation Sync iPad app that accompanied the show, however, was actually very clever! Sadly, it died with that awful show. Or did it? More »
