Create a Link List from Your Open Tabs
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
The URL Lister add-on for Firefox gives you the ability to grab all the open tabs you have, and collect them as a series of links, formatted in three different formats, so that they can be copied easily.
To use, all you need to do is right-click on one of the tabs, and select URL Lister. Next, you will see a box (like the one above) that will give you URLs (one per line) for each tab you have open. This makes it super easy to copy and save the links for later. You also have the choice to save the list as plain text URLs, a HTML coded list (for use in a web page), or a Linked List, which

KeyScrambler – Anti-keylogging protection
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Remember when everyone wanted to keep computer viruses off of computers because they were simply destructive? There were those that their sole purpose was to wipe data off of your hard drive. Some were bold enough to fire off a message on your screen, before continually rebooting your computer or other annoying actions.
Then along came spyware, a separate subset of computer viruses. Their purpose was to look for information on your computer or direct you somewhere on the Internet in order to get data from you. Spyware does not always want to harm your computer, although it can in the process of trying to extract information from your computer.
One type of spyware that is incredibly harmful, and typically very quiet, is the keylogger. What keyloggers do is exactly what the name implies, it logs or records your key strokes. They sit on your computer and watch what you type. While recording your key strokes, it will send them off to another computer where they are reassembled, usually by criminals, and put into a format they can use. Think about it, when you pay bills online, if you access your bank account through the Internet, maybe even an email to friends; they may all be recorded.
“Well I have the latest and greatest anti-spyware, anti-virus, and a firewall protecting my computer.” your friend says. Fair enough, but how often does he or she update their software? How often is their computer scanned with their security tools? What type of Internet sites are they visiting? How apt are they to open email from anyone? The better question here would be, “What is the harm in having one extra application that encrypts your key strokes, is light on system resources, and is designed in mind to circumvent even

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Worried about leaving your iPhone or iPod on the front seat of your car to tempt thieves?
A new car stereo from Parrot has a ’secret’ compartment to hide your tech from envious eyes and recharge it at the same time – although it won’t help much if you want to use your iPhone for navigation, too.
The removable front panel of the Parrot RKi8400 is equipped with magnets for simple insertion/removal of the front panel with one hand.
Smaller screen than Apple’s
The RKi8400 is an FM/AM RDS car stereo that comes festooned with Apple-friendly features. A large dial and full colour 2.4-inch screen lets you view album covers stored in your iPhone (or iPod) and enables easy navigation of playlists, while Bluetooth enables you to play music sent from the iPhone 3 (or other mobile phones and players), via Bluetooth Stereo

Nokia Delays U.S. Launch of Music Service
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Nokia will postpone the launch of its ‘Comes with Music’ music subscription service in the U.S. to next year, according to reports.
Nokia launched the service, widely seen as a potential iTunes competitor, in the U.K. last year by bundling free unlimited music downloads with some of its handsets. The first of Nokia’s phones, the 5310 XpressMusic, featured the service. Nokia would offer a year’s worth of music to its users free and charge users for it after that. Customers were allowed to keep all the music they already downloaded.
If successful, Nokia could be in a position to challenge Apple’s iTunes hegemony in the music distribution business, said some analysts.
However, the service met with lukewarm reception in Europe. In the U.K. only one carrier partnered with Nokia to offer the service.
The company’s problems with the service have been much greater in the U.S. Nokia stumbled in its launch of the 5800 XpressMusic phones after users complained of crippling connectivity problems with the device. Nokia pulled the U.S. version of the phone off its shelves and offered the handsets a few days later after a fix.
The company is now reportedly rethinking its strategy for the music subscription service in the U.S. Without subsidies from carriers such as AT&T and Verizon, American mobile phone users are unlikely to pay the high cost of handsets that are bundled with music. Nokia will also have to simplify the Digital Rights Management (DRM) issues in the service that could potentially cripple how users listen to the music before it is introduced in the U.S.
