Convert your 2D videos into 3D with a single click on YouTube

YouTube has pushed out an awesome feature that converts your uploaded 2D videos to 3D with a single click of a button. Just go to the video you have uploaded on your YouTube account then to 'Edit Info' and then finally click '3D Video' to convert your 2D video into 3D.

YouTube said in it's Official blog post:
Creating 3D videos was pretty tough before. You had to set up two cameras, combine the footage from each, and use special software to make the effect look just right. Today we're launching 2D to 3D conversion. Once you've uploaded your 2D videos to YouTube, you can convert them to 3D with the click of a button. Converted videos will be viewable by everyone in 3D. You'll still get best results with a 3D camera, but it's a great new way to let people enjoy your finest moments. You'll find this feature by selecting "Edit Info", then "3D Video" on a video you've uploaded. (Note, you'll still need glasses to watch on most devices.)
Once you convert your video into 3D, it will take sometime to convert., maybe an hour or so. I have converted one of my video into 3D and it's taking quite long. Why don't you go ahead and experiment with your uploaded videos?

Apple to Launch 'iPhone 4S' This Year Not iphone 5

BGR relays an investor note from Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair who predicts Apple will only launch an incremental update to the iPhone this year.

Apple will reportedly unveil several new devices at next month's event but only one of those will be an iPhone.

"We expect the focus of the new iPhone will be iOS 5, a speedier A5 processor and a higher resolution 8 MP camera with a small possibility of a larger 4 inch screen," Blair wrote. "We believe the casing will be largely similar to the iPhone with some particular modifications to the antennae [sic]. We don't expect a second, dramatically different iPhone to accompany this as we don't think Apple needs to have 3 models in the market to address the high end, mid-tier and low end since the iPhone 4 (with memory lowered to 8 GB) will drop to $99 and effectively attack those markets."

"Why would Apple bump up only the processor specs of the iPhone 4 in addition to a newly designed iPhone 5 if the goal is to sell it into the pre-paid market at a lower cost?" Blair wondered in his note. "A 4S would simply cost more and a 4S itself wouldn't create a mid-tier market unless it was priced at $99 and the iPhone 4 went to $49 with the new iPhone at $199. We see this scenario as unlikely."

Blair also predicts a 3G enabled iPod touch will debut at the event which is reportedly set for October 4th.

This isn't the first time we've heard this. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently said he has seen no evidence of the rumored redesigned 'iPhone 5' in the supply chain.

When Will iPhone 5 Be Available , If it Announcement is October 4th?

Paczkowski's sources say "within a few weeks." But in a note to clients Tuesday, Ticonderoga's Brian White suggests that the lag time between unveiling and release is likely to be considerably shorter than that, especially given how late in the year the iPhone 5 event is occurring.
