Here’s what your gonna need.

1 – Alarm Clock with an internal power supply of 9–12V DC
1 – PCB Mounted USB Port
1 - +5V Fixed Voltage Regulator (7805)
1 – Multimeter

First thing you want to do is open up your alarm clock and make sure that the internal power supply is giving out 9–12V DC using your multimeter.

Once we have satisfied those requirements, your going to want to find a suitable location to house the usb port, something that will not interfere with the internal componets of the alarm clock once you put it back together

With the USB port mounted you are going to want to wire the USB port and the 7805 as per the instructions that come with the voltage regulator. Make sure to leave enough slack with regards to wiring if you ever need to open the alarm clock back up again.

Voila, power to your usb device via your alarm clock.

We’ve all used Google to search the web. What if we could add Ajax to the web search operation? Google Ajax Search API does just that – could this facilitate searching?

Ajax is a web technique which refreshes content on a web page without reposting the web page and the Google Ajax Search API provides a search control and various searchers that can specialise a web search.

For example, using the Google Local Search service the web search may be localized to a specified region. Throw in a Google map and who needs to ask for directions? And the Google Blog search service is used to search only blogs.

To use the API, you will first need to sign up for an API key, and then follow the instructions below.

Facebook Video - Developer: Facebook

Facebook Video gives you the ability to publish your personal videos on Facebook and send video messages to your friends. You can publish videos in three ways:

1) Record right in your browser.
Use your webcam to record a video or send a message to friends.
2) Publish from your mobile.
Send your videos to us at video@facebook.com, and we’ll do the rest.
3) File Upload - 2 minutes/40 MB only

Facebook Video supports higher quality video and audio than most video-sharing sites. Plus, each video you publish has per-video privacy so you can restrict who can see it. Videos can be tagged and commented on, just like Photos. You’ll need the latest Flash Player to view videos and record video messages.

Profile Videos: You can now set one of your videos to be your Profile Video by clicking the “Make Profile Video” link on the video page. Profile Videos can be played directly from the Video box in the right column of your profile. You can change your Profile Video at any time, and you can even set a new video to be your Profile Video while it’s uploading. Go to My Videos

COMING SOON:
1) Cross-Application Support: Videos for Groups and Events.
2) The Video Wall: Record Video messages on your friends’ profiles.
3) Video Rotation: Rotate those vertical videos.
