Given that most RSS readers only check for new feeds every half hour, listings in the feeds won't have an end time less than 15 minutes from the time the feed is retrieved. eBay also said the RSS feeds won't initially support all search parameters available through advanced search pages.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The new RSS feed is part of an effort to make more of eBay accessible via the technology. Last November, the auction site began its foray into the RSS world with feeds for the announcement board, discussion boards and listings from specific eBay Stores. Arturo Za&lt;b&gt;car&lt;/b&gt;ias, eBay's senior product manager for new technologies, said that the company will add RSS feeds to other areas of the site "in the coming months."&lt;br&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href=http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200603.shtml#2006-03-20091242&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/28/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/forward/603512/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/28/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches/" title="Linking Blogs"&gt;Linking�Blogs&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/28/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;map name="google_ad_map_127-603512"&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/127-603512?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /&gt;&lt;/map&gt;&lt;img usemap="#google_ad_map_127-603512" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=127-603512&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/28/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches/" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href='http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/03/28/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches/'&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-5017135513807135588?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/5017135513807135588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=5017135513807135588' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/5017135513807135588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/5017135513807135588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/ebay-expands-rss-feeds-to-searches_13.html' title='eBay expands RSS feeds to searches'/><author><name>Blogging Together</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06064271002828952645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02489865890381537091'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445286427948604805.post-2677772560701827060</id><published>2008-10-13T07:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T07:40:02.977-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Screen Grabs: Nokia 5800-branding womanizer snaps pics of Britney Spears</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Filed under: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.engadget.com/category/cellphones/" rel="tag"&gt;Cellphones&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Screen grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today's movies and TV.

Wouldn’t it be fabulous if you could just get all the headlines of the most current stories from all your favorite websites and blogs in one place?&lt;br&gt; Well now you can, and it is called RSS feed.&lt;br&gt; The Oprah definition&lt;br&gt; The technical acronym for RSS is “Really Simple Syndication”, an XML format that was created to syndicate news, and be a means to share content on the web. Now, to geeks and techies that means something special, but to everyday folks like you and me, what comes to mind is, “Uh, I don’t get it?”&lt;br&gt; So, to make RSS much easier to understand, in Oprah speak, RSS stands for: I’m “Ready for Some Stories”. It is a way online for you to get a quick list of the latest story headlines from all your favorite websites and blogs all in one place.

In a real sense computer gaming was the driver behind my interest, in the early 1980&amp;#8217;s, in becoming computer literate, and then taking that literacy to new levels.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/game-assets-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Computer gaming has changed enormously of course from the early 1980’s to the present. The technical changes in both the games themselves, and the platforms the games run on, would have seemed like science fiction viewed from the perspective of the early days.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Online gaming has effectively opened up a whole new world of computer gaming, both literally and figuratively, and has changed the face and the complexities of computer gaming.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Played over the internet, online games allow gamers to become part of a virtual world, consisting of literally millions of players who form online communities with all the associated social aspects of real world communities; the good, the bad, and the ugly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/game-assets-4.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just as there are crooks and cyber criminals in a real world community, these same type of characters also inhabit the virtual worlds of internet gaming.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You might wonder why virtual reality would mimic real life so closely that it would include virtual criminals. The answer is very simple - money, and lots of it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many virtual worlds, virtual currencies are used to purchase virtual possessions. You may be surprised to learn that these virtual possessions have real world value, in real world cash, and as in real life; a market exists for stolen goods in these other worlds.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The first step cyber criminals employ in stripping gamers of their virtual possessions (remember, real world cash), is password theft - an activity that has increased dramatically recently.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/game-assets-5.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Stolen passwords for games such as &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml"&gt;World of Warcraft&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lineage2.com/"&gt;Lineage&lt;/a&gt;, are particularly valuable, since in these games it is common for less skilled gamers to buy/pay for the virtual possessions they have been unable to acquire through skilled game play.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Increasingly, the theft of passwords relies on specially designed malware, whose function is to steal online gaming passwords, allowing crooks access to gamers virtual possessions so that these possessions, just as in real life, can be sold.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/game-assets-2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Explaining just how this works Greg Hoglund, CEO of &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hbgary.com/"&gt;HBGary&lt;/a&gt;, developers of advanced software security technologies says,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Once a criminal learns a gamer’s username and password, he can log into the game and sell the victim’s virtual possessions for virtual gold coins. Those coins are then handed to another character in the game who sells the gold for real-world dollars at an online exchange such as &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ige.com/"&gt;IGE&lt;/a&gt;.  IGE operates a network that deals with the legitimate buying and selling of virtual currencies and assets on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Video gaming companies are now fighting back through the use of authenticators. An authenticator is an electronic device which generates a unique, one-time use password which combined with the user’s regular password provides an increased security level against malicious attacks, including keyloggers and Trojans.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blizzard.com/us/"&gt;Blizzard Entertainment&lt;/a&gt;, the company behind such popular games as World of Warcraft, Lineage, Diablo and StarCraft sells an authenticator for $6.50 USD through the &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000182"&gt;Blizzard online store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/authenacators-blizzard1.jpg" alt="wow password authentication" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So, if you are one of the millions of virtual gamers, purchasing an authenticator to help protect your virtual assets, it seems to me, is vital.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you’re interested in FREE online gaming then check out an excellent article by Simon, one of my fellow writers here on Makeuseof.com - &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-five-free-online-shooter-games/"&gt;Top Five Free Online Shooter Games&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;style&gt; 					.muo_af_style { background-color: #CCC; border: 3px dashed #999; } 					&lt;/style&gt;&lt;p class="muo_af_style"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(By) Bill Mullins.

Yesterday was a notable new chapter in the saga, as 35 of our university&amp;#8217;s finest information specialists (with more on a waiting list) packed into a lab for a three hour workshop on RSS and academic libraries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Much of the time was spent on the basics, though about half the attendees had at least set up a newsreader already. But the preparation for the more advanced and context-specific elements unearthed some useful and powerful resources that I thought I would pass on&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Electronic Journals and RSS - Librarians at my old school in Saskatchewan maintain a couple of valuable lists &amp;#8212; electronic journals with an RSS feed and publishers and sources for academic RSS.

But that may have changed. After all, there are a good five or six solid RSS readers for the Mac that can do the job better. Well, there seems to be a way to move those RSS feeds out of Safari and into the reader of your choice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By using an XML stylesheet and running it in the Mac terminal, you can convert the RSS feeds into an OPML file. Nearly all RSS readers -- both desktop and online -- will let you import feeds via OPML. Here's how you do it:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Download the XML stylesheet from &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://homepage.mac.com/koyeung/.Public/SafariFeeds2OPML.xslt"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Then run it in the terminal with these commands:&lt;br&gt;$ cd ~/Library/Safari&lt;br&gt; $ plutil -convert xml1 Bookmarks.plist&lt;br&gt; $ xsltproc SafariFeeds2OPML.xslt Bookmarks.plist &gt; SafariFeeds.opml&lt;br&gt; $ plutil -convert binary1 Bookmarks.plist&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Now you have an OPML file called SafariFeeds.opml. Download a news reader or use an online one and import the file. Now you can enjoy those RSS feeds in a more comfortable reading environment.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Via &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006013006545417"&gt;Mac OS X Hints&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006013006545417&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/02/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into-an-exportable-opml-file/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/forward/589834/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/02/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into-an-exportable-opml-file/" title="Linking Blogs"&gt;Linking�Blogs&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/02/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into-an-exportable-opml-file/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;map name="google_ad_map_127-589834"&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/127-589834?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /&gt;&lt;/map&gt;&lt;img usemap="#google_ad_map_127-589834" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=127-589834&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/02/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into-an-exportable-opml-file/" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href='http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2006/02/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into-an-exportable-opml-file/'&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-1227647106737051110?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/1227647106737051110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=1227647106737051110' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/1227647106737051110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/1227647106737051110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/converting-safari-rss-feeds-into.html' title='Converting Safari RSS feeds into exportable OPML file'/><author><name>Blogging Together</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06064271002828952645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02489865890381537091'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445286427948604805.post-165253011136494583</id><published>2008-10-09T12:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T12:38:01.701-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Audi confirms pure electric car, will likely be based on VW Up!

Mail Beta Adds RSS</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Yahoo! again demonstrates its facility with RSS by adding feeds to the beta Mail which is still in restricted distribution. (&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://yahoo.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000380058717/"&gt;Original review of it here&lt;/a&gt;.) Yahoo! Mail takes advantage of the Outlook-styled interface to create an intuitive RSS package. It's preloaded with selected feeds, and, remarkably, that selection appears personalized. I'm waiting for confimration of this, but it seems that the preset feeds are taken from profile information and personal-interest choices in Yahoo! 360. Naturally, that information wouldn't be available for every user in a wide rollout of the new Yahoo! Mail, but millions of people have Yahoo! IDs that contain a bit of profiling, so perhaps Yahoo! plans to mine every bit if personalizable information it can get. I'm all for it. This level of integration makes for a satisfying experience from the first click.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;   &lt;img alt="yahoo mail beta rss 01" src="http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3060000000056170.JPG?0.7459760734626919" align="middle" border="1" height="335" hspace="4" vspace="4" width="500" /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;   Of course, you can add feeds. Yahoo! provides a recommended list of about 25 feeds, asnd users can specify an RSS address. NOTE: Users should be able to paste in a Web-page address also, and the feed reader should have the smarts to find the feed; Yahoo! has started a tradition of RSS invisiblity in My Yahoo!, and it should be &lt;b&gt;car&lt;/b&gt;ried over into Mail.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;   Somewhat oddly, Yahoo! presents the feed in a three-pane view: feed list on the left, feed items in the middle ... and nothing in the right-hand vertical pane. I expected the source page for the feed item to appear in that pane, and was disappointed to see Yahoo! opening a new browser window to display that page. that system works best on some monitors and resolutions, granted. I'd like to have a view choice. Put the source page in the same window as the feed item, and you're really starting to emulate a desktop newsreader. Since Yahoo! mail (beta) emulates a desktop mail program, this would make sense.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;   Good start! Excellent start. Yahoo! is going to have one rowdy, boat-rocking launch when the new Mail emerges from beta.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/30/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/forward/103164/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/30/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss/" title="Linking Blogs"&gt;Linking�Blogs&lt;/a&gt;�|�&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/30/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;map name="google_ad_map_127-103164"&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/127-103164?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /&gt;&lt;area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /&gt;&lt;/map&gt;&lt;img usemap="#google_ad_map_127-103164" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=127-103164&amp;url=http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/30/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss/" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href='http://rss.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/30/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss/'&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-1504817462327981460?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/1504817462327981460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=1504817462327981460' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/1504817462327981460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/1504817462327981460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/yahoo-mail-beta-adds-rss.html' title='Yahoo!

There's a growing need in the market for this application, and Mike is now &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://shareit1.element5.com/product.html?cart=1&amp;productid=300169371&amp;languageid=1&amp;backlink=http%3A%2F%2Fvidblaster.com&amp;cookies=1" target="_blank"&gt;offering it at an affordable price&lt;/a&gt; so churches, community groups, schools, and individuals can have access to software that gives us all a live TV studio at our fingertips.   			&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-2976457435583418802?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/2976457435583418802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=2976457435583418802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/2976457435583418802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/2976457435583418802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/gbtv-0389-small-geekbrieftv_09.html' title='GBTV #0389 (small) | GeekBrief.TV'/><author><name>Blogging Together</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06064271002828952645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02489865890381537091'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445286427948604805.post-4059094411241447959</id><published>2008-10-09T12:37:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T12:37:09.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>GBTV #0393 (small) | GeekBrief.TV</title><content type='html'>&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://tuneupmedia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;TuneUp&lt;/a&gt; is an app for Windows iTunes users to keep iTunes clean and organized. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;  The &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.worldwidefred.com/hacked.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Hacked OH! *#% Flash Drive&lt;/a&gt; make geek 2GB or your data safe in a completely unique way. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;  The &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hometroller.com" target="_blank"&gt;HomeSeer HomeTroller&lt;/a&gt; is an energy efficient home automation appliance that can controll your lights, appliance, climate, security, telephones, irrigation, window shades and home entertainment equipment.

Friends of the Brief (affectionately known as Fothbas or Briefers around our house) ask at meet-ups and in email for a new one. Neal was moving archives from 500 GB My Books to a Drobo this week and he found 5 unreleased blooper reels with about 20 minutes of non-stop giggles. These are the ones that made us laugh the most. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;  Thursday was a big day for domain name purchases at &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.godaddy.com"&gt;GoDaddy.com&lt;/a&gt; because it was the first time the .me top-level extension was available. People were pinging me on &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitter.com/calilewis"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and calling me on the phone asking which promo code would be best, but then it turned out promo codes weren't working on some .me purchases. If you're in the market for a .me or a .com or a dot something else, I apprecieate you trying my promo codes GB1, GB2 or GB3 at check out and I apologize if they aren't working to give you a discount. I've called &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mevio.com"&gt;Mevio&lt;/a&gt; to get it figured out. &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bobparsons.tv"&gt;Bob Parsons&lt;/a&gt;, the CEO of GoDaddy is a great guy. I don't think this was intentional. It seems like their system was overwhelmed by all the orders because .me (nothing to do with &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://me.com"&gt;MobileMe&lt;/a&gt;) is such a great extension.  			 &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href='http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=119140&amp;tId=2 			'&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-7540316714485661860?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/7540316714485661860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=7540316714485661860' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/7540316714485661860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/7540316714485661860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/gbtv-0395-small-blooper-special.html' title='GBTV #0395 (small) | Blooper Special'/><author><name>Blogging Together</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06064271002828952645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02489865890381537091'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445286427948604805.post-5822085975756411476</id><published>2008-10-09T12:36:00.005-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T12:36:55.691-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MacBreak 60 : iTheater Video Glasses</title><content type='html'>&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://pixelcorps.tv/macbreak60 			" &gt;MacBreak 60 : iTheater Video Glasses 			&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Leo and Kendra discuss the iTheater Video Glasses for use with your &lt;b&gt;iPod&lt;/b&gt; video. 			&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445286427948604805-5822085975756411476?l=ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/feeds/5822085975756411476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6445286427948604805&amp;postID=5822085975756411476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/5822085975756411476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6445286427948604805/posts/default/5822085975756411476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ipod-car-adapter.blogspot.com/2008/10/macbreak-60-itheater-video-glasses.html' title='MacBreak 60 : iTheater Video Glasses'/><author><name>Blogging Together</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06064271002828952645</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02489865890381537091'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445286427948604805.post-3285043071421128948</id><published>2008-10-09T12:36:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T12:36:47.438-07:00</updated><title type='text'>7 Firefox Quick Searches You Should Set Up</title><content type='html'>A Firefox Quick Search is one of the coolest Firefox features and at the same time the least known one.

Using Quick Search feature you can search a website of your choice directly from the Firefox address bar.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://makeuseof.com/images/firefox-quick-search-demo.png" alt="Firefox Quick Search Demo" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So instead of say going to www.youtube.com and then searching for &lt;em&gt;standup comedy&lt;/em&gt;, you can set up a Firefox Quick Search for Youtube and then type in the address bar &lt;em&gt;y standup comedy&lt;/em&gt;. Hit enter and you will be taken straight to the search results on Youtube.com. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let me illustrate how this actually works by setting up a quick search for MakeUseOf.com. And the best thing about this feature is that it takes only about 10 seconds to set up. So, follow me! Once we&amp;#8217;re done you will be able to do this for any other website as well.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How To Create Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; (1) Right click on the our search field and choose &amp;#8216;&lt;em&gt;Add a Keyword for this Search &amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#8216; option.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://makeuseof.com/images/quick-searches-1.png" alt="Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;(2) Next, you should see a small window like the one below. Here basically you need to enter a name for that Quick Search (I usually use the name of the website here) and the keyword that you want to use for it. You might want to use something short and easy to remember for the keyword. For instance, for MakeUseOf it can be &lt;em&gt;muo&lt;/em&gt;, for Youtube &lt;em&gt;y&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;yt&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://makeuseof.com/images/quick-searches-2.png" alt="Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;(3) Once it&amp;#8217;s been added to your bookmarks you will be able to search the website right from the address bar. For instance, as can be seen above when creating Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com we used the keyword &lt;em&gt;muo&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now let&amp;#8217;s say I want to search MakeUseOf.com for some reverse phone number lookup website. To do that I can simply type &lt;em&gt;muo reverse phone number lookup website&lt;/em&gt; into the address bar and hit enter. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://makeuseof.com/images/quick-searches-3.png" alt="Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;And here is where it takes me &amp;#8230; directly to the search results.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://makeuseof.com/images/quick-searches-4.png" alt="Quick Search for MakeUseOf.com" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;So as you can see, quick searches can be major time savers. Instead of going to the website and searching from there you&amp;#8217;re able to search directly from the Firefox address bar.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I highly recommend you setup Quick Searches for the websites you frequent. Here are some of the essential sites I have on my quick searches. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/"&gt;MakeUseOf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; -  Whenever I need to find some web app or software I first search for it on MakeUseOf. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/"&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - I guess it&amp;#8217;s fair to assume that for many of us Youtube became the to go place for videos. It&amp;#8217;s the only video sharing site I visit. I use keyword &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; for it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com"&gt;IMDB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - I am a major movie addict and frequently use IMDB (Internet Movie Database) to check reviews and ratings before watching the movie. A quick address bar entry &lt;em&gt;imdb some_movie_title&lt;/em&gt; takes me straight to the needed page on IMDB.com.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - The Wikipedia search is already included among default Firefox search engines, nonetheless it&amp;#8217;s still a lot faster to search it directly from the address bar. My keyword for Wikipedia search is &lt;em&gt;wik&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://delicious.com/"&gt;Del.icio.us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Believe it or not but I use del.icio.us as much as Google these days. Since you&amp;#8217;re searching through people&amp;#8217;s bookmarks it can be quite effective when it comes to finding the right website for the task.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pricegrabber.com/"&gt;PriceGrabber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - This lets quickly lookup the price of a product across different retailers. No need to digg through eBay or Amazon listings, simply type in the keyword and product you want to check inside the address bar and hit enter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://thepiratebay.org/"&gt;ThePirateBay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - If you frequently download torrents then setting up a keyword search for your favorite &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-apps-to-make-most-of-torrents/"&gt;torrent search website&lt;/a&gt; might be a good idea as well. I prefer to use ThePirateBay, you may use something else. &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;What are you favorite Quick Searches?

We&amp;#8217;ve covered some browser screenshot web-apps in the past but most of them have some limitations. Kyle wrote about &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/take-screenshots-from-your-browser-with-kwout/"&gt;kwout&lt;/a&gt; but the screenshots can&amp;#8217;t be larger than 600 x 600 pixels. &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/superscreenshots-screenshot-generator/"&gt;SuperScreenshots&lt;/a&gt; works pretty well but the font rendering is changed slightly in the screenshot.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Luckily for Mac, we have Paparazzi! No, I&amp;#8217;m not getting excited, it just happens to have an exclamation sign in its name. Unlike the other two web-apps, Paparazzi is a desktop application. I prefer Paparazzi! over SuperScreenshots because it is more configurable and also provides an option to create thumbnails.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Launch Paparazzi! and you&amp;#8217;re presented with a simple interface where you&amp;#8217;ll see an address bar and some optional configurations for your snapshot output (minimum size and crop), a preview and a large Capture button.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/paparazzi.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;In order to take a webpage snapshot, you&amp;#8217;ll need to enter the site&amp;#8217;s address into the address bar. If the site is in focus within your browser (I&amp;#8217;ve only tried this on Safari), you could go to the File menu -&gt; Capture from -&gt; Capture URL from Safari. Pretty neat stuff if you have a bunch of websites to take snapshots of because it saves some &amp;#8220;Copy &amp; Paste&amp;#8221; manual labour.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After clicking on Capture and getting a preview, you can now save your snapshot. Clicking on &amp;#8220;Save image as&amp;#8221; will present a typical &amp;#8216;Save As&amp;#8217; pop-up. You will have the ability to save the image as the format you desire (PNG, JPG, TIFF or PDF). Out of the four options, three are high quality output formats. Brilliant! You also have the chance to save a thumbnail of the snapshot. A thumbnail is just a smaller version of the image which you can show as a preview. The fact that Paparazzi! does this for me automatically with one click is very useful. Normally, I would have to save the image in two sizes to achieve the same effect.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/paparazzi-output.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here is a snapshot comparison between SuperScreenshots and Paparazzi. Both are PNG formatted. Can you spot the difference?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/paparazzi-compare.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Paparazzi was last updated in 2006 but it still works fine on OS X Leopard 10.5.5. &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/"&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt; it for free!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Personally, I would prefer to use Paparazzi if the need arises compared to any web-app. But then, that&amp;#8217;s my opinion. What about you? Are there any other full-length website snapshot applications you would like to suggest?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;style&gt; 					.muo_af_style { background-color: #CCC; border: 3px dashed #999; } 					&lt;/style&gt;&lt;p class="muo_af_style"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(By) Jackson Chung is a full-time medical student attempting to perform a juggling act with relationship, studies and his future.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New subscriber?&lt;/strong&gt; Get your freebies at &lt;a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/makeuseof-downloads/"&gt;MakeUseOf Downloads&lt;/a&gt;.
