New web site on Graphene

July 8th, 2009

Graphene is a sheet, one-atom-thick of carbon atom, in a honeycomb crystal lattice. If you use many layers of graphene, stacked one on top of the other, you’ll get Graphite. Graphene has many uses – Spintronics, sensors, ICs (for example a transparent backplane for OLEDs), ultra-capacitors and more.

We have started a new blog on Graphene, called Graphene-info. Enjoy…

Updating the design of our blogs…

March 26th, 2009

A long time after we updated OLED-info‘s design, today we also updated other blogs – Spintronics, MRAM and ExpressCard.

Hopefully it’ll make them easier to read and navigate.

New E-Ink blog

March 25th, 2009

We have launched a new blog today, about E-Ink displays. E-Ink is used today by many book readers (such as the popular Amazon Kindle). E-Ink displays are very efficient and ‘easy on the eyes’ – great for such readers.

As you can see we now have several display related blogs on OLEDs, Pico Projectors and E-Ink displays. Stay tuned for even more new blogs coming soon.

The blog’s address – http://www.e-ink-info.com

New blog about Pico Projectors

March 4th, 2009

We’ve recently launched a new blog, about Pico Projectors. Those tiny devices can project large images, and be embedded inside phones or cameras or PDAs.

Even though the quality is far from perfect (main issues today are brightness), people are exciting about this tech. Texas Instruments for example thinks that in a few years a “projector phone” will be as common as a “camera phone”…

Interestingly OLEDs might be used as the light source for pico projectors – in the future this might even make them smaller and brighter then current LED technology.

Three new hebrew blogs…

January 19th, 2009

Update: The MRAM and ExpressCard blogs are discontinued…

We have just published 3 new blogs, in hebrew. These are mostly translations of our english blogs about OLED, MRAM and ExpressCards.  If you’re an Israeli, or know hebrew, it might be easier to follow these blogs – although not all posts are translated.

Hopefully we’ll get some local, original content in there as well.

Professional yet not-expensive logos

January 5th, 2009

A few people commented that the Video-Alerts logo is rather nice. It was done by Dollar Logo Design, which I can say I’m very happy with.  The prices are great (starts at 29$, although I recommend the 49$ package which gets you more formats and revisions). They now throw in a free business card design, as well.

You get several design concepts and revisions, it all works pretty well and rather fast too. I got great support from their designer. 

They also have an interesting affiliate program. I get a coupon (3388) – and if you buy and use that coupon, you get 5$ discount, and I get a referral bonus. Nice idea. So be sure to use coupon 3388 if you want to get your logo.

New service launched, Video-Alerts

December 29th, 2008

I’m excited to announce a new service by Metalgrass software: Video Alerts.

http://www.video-alerts.com

Video-Alerts is a simple yet powerful service for people who want to get notified when new videos are uploaded to YouTube. We think this can be a great tool for bloggers who wishes to find new videos in their niche first, or anyone, really, who is interested in a subject and wants to follow it on YouTube.

Testing out TrialPay

December 16th, 2008

Trialpay is an interesting company. They offer shareware publishers a way to give their software for free – and still get paid. Basically the user can choose to complete an ‘offer from an advertiser, and in exchange he gets the software. The offer can be to fill a survey, to enroll to a new credit-card, etc. It’s an interesting scheme, and we have enabled it on our Square-Off game. Normally it sells for 9.99$, but now it is possible to get it for free using TrialPay.

I’d love to hear what you think!

AdSenseLog 5.3.0 released

November 25th, 2008

We’ve just released a new AdSenseLog version. This new version includes a feature that was requested by several users – the ability to ‘expand’ the Channel selector. In case you have many channels, it was difficult to use the small selector (in table and graph reports). Now it’s much easier and quicker.

Download the new version

New AdSenseLog build released
