Changes:

  • Add support for uploading videos.
    • Supported files are: .avi, .mpeg, .mpg, .wmv, .3gp, .asf, .mp4, .mov. However PicasaWeb can still reject any of those if it doesn’t like it. Note also that videos won’t be playable in the album immediately because they have to be postprocessed by PicasaWeb.
  • File size limits: 20MB for photo files and 100MB for video files.

Get it here.

Funky. However I truly dislike stereoscopic “3D”, so I doubt I will ever be using this feature.

Thankfully they can be disabled with a hack and here is how.

Using the Remote Registry Editor supplied with Visual Studio and with the Windows Mobile SDK installed change the following key value from 0 to 1 (and vise-versa to reset the change)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 1

That’s it.

Notice the “Ads by Google“. The video in question is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sekLEG8xsOs .

It not only adds a status update widget on the side but also a full interface to twitter as part of Gmail. Really cool and the interface is much nicer than the Twitter web page IMHO. Screenshot below. The Gadget can be found at http://twittergadget.appspot.com

To install:

1.   In Settings –> Labs enable “Add any gadget by URL” from the list.

2.   In Settings –> Gadgets –> Add https://twittergadget.appspot.com/gadget-gmail.xml .

You could also enable “Navbar drag and drop” so you can move the gadget up and down if you want.
