Jon Peter Lewis Breaks The Silence Bookmark This
2008-04-07 15:45:00
Jon Peter Lewis is primed for a big-time breakthrough courtesy of his new full-length album, Break The Silence.The new album finds a more seasoned JPL balancing 'sitting in my bedroom all alone' melancholia, with the inviting, offbeat wit that put him on the short list of Idol cult favorites. Silence was produced by Chris Garcia (Santana, Michelle Branch) and features the talents of drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Indigo Girls) and guitarist Nick Lashley (Alanis Morissette, Natasha Bedingfield).Emotionally charged and overflowing with brainy pop hooks, the debut single and title track, available now online, is an assured, infectious cut that recalls equal parts Ben Folds, Duncan Sheik and vintage Beatles.

Ramiele Malubay Reflects On Her AI Journey Bookmark This
2008-04-07 15:43:00
Although Ramiele Malubay admits that "Idol" has taken over her life since her initial audition, she is grateful for the experience. As she said, " It’s exposure, it’s a future and I’m very grateful for the judges to get me as far as I did to let America judge." She's taking away a lot from being on the show. Ramiele said it taught her humility, and to be courteous to each and every person that works on the show, as everyone was there to help. As far as advice for any future contestants, Ramiele said, "Totally be yourself and enjoy every single minute of it because if you think too far ahead you’re going to miss the fun stuff, when you look back. And I’m just glad that I took everything in and I didn’t regret anything."She might have no regrets but Ramiele does admit to some mis

Search Result Limit Increase
2008-04-12 14:27:00
Early this morning we turned on a highly requested feature... The AJAX Search API now supports up to 32 search results as well as pagination through result sets. I understand that this might not match everything that you have been asking for, but at this point in time, delivering a 4x increase in the number of available search results is all that we are able to support.You can see the new code in action in all of our samples that are based on the default search control:Tabbed Hello World (web, news, and book tabs)Custom Search Engine Sampleetc.The pagination logic is built into the default search control. If you like to code your own search control, we have updated the Raw Searcher sample with a few lines of code that implements result pagination.For a number of complex reasons, this featu

The PartnerBar - Contextual Cross Linking
2008-04-12 14:25:00
A few weeks ago, our team received a call from the Executive Producer of EW.com, the online extension of Entertainment Weekly Magazine. She asked if our Feed API could be used to build a module that they could configure to promote and link to their partner's sites. The result of that phone call is our brand new PartnerBar control.Working closely with the Executive Producer and production staff, we developed the control to meet the demanding needs of EW.com's site while ensuring that the same code and model could support the rest of the Time Inc. network, as well as the network of sites you are likely to care about. The result is a professional level component that gives the design team complete control over all aspects of styling and site integration and delivers a widely used control at a

gearsAJAXHelper: Use Google Gears with AJAX APIs for Faster Queries
2008-04-12 14:23:00
Google Gears is an API that is known for giving developers the ability to have their webpage viewable offline. However, it can also be used to speed up your website. In the case of the AJAX APIs, you can use the Google Gears local cache and client-side database to have queries load fast with cached data while requests for fresh data are done in the background.We decided it would be cool to write a small library to make it easy for you AJAX APIs developers to write quick-loading, always fresh searches/feeds. The gearsAJAXHelper has two main features - it allows you to store and return key/value pairs from the local database, and it allows you to choose whether you want all resources files on the page (images, CSS, Javascript, HTML) to automatically be cached in the Gears cache.The key/value

Introducing the latest AJAX API: Google Visualization API
2008-04-12 14:22:00
We are excited to launch the Google Visualization API, a new API designed for visualizing structured data. The API adds the ability to send queries to data sources and process the response. The first data source that already supports this API is Google Spreadsheets. We are also launching a set of visualization gadgets that use this API.With this API, you can read data from a data source that supports the API. You can read an entire table, or you can run a query on the data source using the API's query language. The query response is an easy to process data table designed to simplify data visualization. It includes both the underlying values and the formatted values, column types, headers and more.Use this API to create your own data visualization that is decoupled from data source implemen

Introducing the AJAX Language API - Tools for Translation and Language Detection
2008-04-12 14:21:00
The AJAX Search and Feeds team is happy to announce a new member to their API family -- the Language API. This new API boasts two functions, language translation and language detection - which cover 13 languages and 29 translation pairs.The best part? Using the API is simple. To begin, go ahead and add the script tag below to your page:Next, load the API functions into the page with the AJAX API Loader:google.load("language", "1");Before we can start using those functions, though, we have to wait until the page is loaded. The AJAX APIs have a standard method for this that will call whatever function specified when the page has loaded:google.setOnLoadCallback(onloadCallback);Once in the onloadCallback function, we are ready to use either the translation or the language detection methods.
