Two up of my favourite Windows tinkerers -- Rafael Rivera plus Long Zheng -- were given uninterested in waiting for somebody, somewhere to form make use of of Windows 7's cool, built-in sensor support. Rather compared to twiddle his or her or him thumbs prefer certain non-coders who are writing concerning them (read: me), they decided to perform something about it. Go back into Geosense, a at no cost download for Windows Seven which enables you to activate location awareness on your system while not the legal necessity for GPS hardware. Once it has installed, you could be sufficient to be ready to build use of geolocation features in assorted apps. Granted, the listing is lovely short right currently. The Geosense website purely mentions MahTweets (a Twitter client), their own Google Maps demo app, and the overall built-in weather gadget in Windows 7. Geosense works nicely, and that i cannot wait for location-aware apps to do situations like automatically switch my default printer after i cart my portable up of home to figure. Hopefully about that will help give app developers a kick during the pants and we'll be told a bunch of added cool apps soon.
