New in Labs: Suggest more recipients
Posted by Ari Leichtberg, Software Engineer
Have you ever realized you mistakenly left someone important out of an email, or just spent too much time trying to decide who from your long list of contacts to include? Well, some of us on the Gmail team feel your pain, so we wrote a new Gmail Labs feature called "Suggest more recipients."
Once you've enabled it from the Labs tab under Settings, you'll see suggested recipients while composing messages. Gmail will suggest people you might want to include based on the groups of people you email most often. So if you always email your mom, dad, and sister together, and you start composing a message to your mom and dad, Gmail will suggest adding your sister. Enter at least two recipients and any suggestions will show up like this:
Click on a suggested name, and they'll get added to your email.
Hopefully having lots of friends and co-workers just got a bit less onerous for you. (Oh, the burden of popularity!) Enjoy, and as usual, please let us know what you think.

Prezi Makes a Zooming Map of Your Presentations [Webapps]
It's hard to capture exactly what a difference custom zooming and framing have on a presentation until you see it yourself. Prezi, unfortunately, doesn't offer embedding of its hosted presentations (at least with its free license), but anyone can check out Prezi's showcased works to see what the deal is about. Editing itself is done with a neat wheel/cog corner tool and a drag-and-drop grid background. The site offers a lot of tutorial videos and demonstrations, like this nice overview of editing and presentation:
Even a free account gets an offline player to use, which is a big plus, and upgrading to "Enjoy" or "Pro" accounts for €39 or €119 grants access to "Private Prezi," upgrades your Prezi.com storage space, and removes Prezi's logo from your presentations. It's similar to Microsoft's very protoype-level pptPlex, but with a refined interface and pretty impressive looks. Free to use, requires a sign-up and email activation.

SprintCam V3 HD Shoots Breathtaking Full HD Video at 1,000 FPS [Slo Mo]
Sure, the Casio EX-F1 shoots great slow-mo footage for a consumer camera. But it can't touch the footage that the SprintCam V3 HD pumps out. Good lord.
This is a professional broadcast camera that is likely to cost as much as a house, so it's not something you'll be picking up at Best Buy anytime soon. But you can bet that we'll start seeing incredible HD footage like in the below video on sports broadcasts in the very near future. Get ready to analyze the throws of pitchers and quarterbacks in a whole new way. [SprintCam V3 HD via NotCot]
