"Auto-magically adds lyrics to songs in iTunes from lyrics.wikia.com. You can choose either a selection of tracks, or the current track. Or turn on "Active Tagging" to get lyrics for songs as you play them. You can also browse and edit the lyrics of your iTunes tracks right from Get Lyrical." - Now if this was made for Spotify .. - Thomas Bøhm from Bookmarklet

Dislike. Take Twitter out of the equation and just use web sockets. - raphaeL

"La longue marche d’un amendement censé garantir droits et libertés des citoyens sur Internet, finalement passé à la trappe, illustre, encore une fois, le déficit de démocratie de l’Union européenne. L’histoire législative qui suit met en lumière la prégnance du pouvoir des États sur celui des élus européens." - Miguel Caetano

"And when I say that “we” have a hit on our hands, I’m really giving you way too much credit, because let’s be honest, the success of iPhone has nothing to do with you. In fact, iPhone is a smash hit in spite of your network, not because of it. That’s how good we are here at Apple — we’re so good that even you and your team of Bell System frigtards can’t stop us. You know what it’s like being your business partner? It’s like trying to swim the English Channel with a boat anchor tied to my legs." - j1m from Bookmarklet

My favorite article in the last few weeks. Worth reading aloud (and censoring) to others. - Louis Gray

Yeah, I forget how funny these are. - j1m

I've discovered that over 70% of my media consumption (TV, music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, etc) comes from TWIT, but it costs me much less relative to my bills from DirecTV, Netflix, etc. I've been a recurring contributor since the beginning, and will continue. My only fear is that I hope this doesn't lead to Leo trying to constantly please the audience....the vocal minority could ruin it. - Larry

It's worth it, it's definitely worth it. - echostreamer

"A worldwide coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations, consumers unions and online service providers associations publish an open letter to the European institutions regarding the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) currently under negotiation. They call on the European Parliament and the EU negotiators to oppose any provision int the multilateral agreement that would undermine the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens in Europe and across the world." - Miguel Caetano

"A source familiar with the matter said the iPod, iPhone and Mac maker is seeking new ways to expand iTunes to move it beyond being a predominantly download service for songs. The source asked not to be named. "Apple recognizes that the model is going to evolve into a streaming one and this could probably propel iTunes to the next level," said the person." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

That might explain why the lala iPhone app has been stuck in App Store approval limbo for months. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF from iPhone

"The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), suggested by the US administration in 2007, aims to redefine global trade rules. The intention is to stem losses from counterfeiting and internet-mediated piracy of content like music and movies. It will do that by penalising internet service providers and websites that carry, or help people to find, pirated content. ACTA has quickly proved a hit with G8 nations, the European Union, South Korea and Australia, who are all using it as a basis for future national laws." - Miguel Caetano

""Netaudio? Big Success!!!" shouts psycoded in his email after we asked him to join the Best of CC Music Moments in 2009. As one of the members of the Cologne Commons team he helped organising one of those rare events where people meet in real. And when not working on the next Cologne Commons Festival he dedicates himself to techno music, releasing music on his label Zimmer Records or shoots awesome photos under his moniker psycoded. And, don't forget his thrilling mixes full of creative commons techno music." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

Just installed it on my server. Working great. Did have a little trouble with bridging and DHCP on boot, but resolved it. When I'm setting up a server, it's a choice between Debian and FreeBSD. - Paul Grav

"The government-controlled company, through its new "Deed for Lease" program, will allow borrowers to transfer ownership to Fannie Mae and sign a one-year lease, with month-to-month extensions after that." - AJ Kohn from Bookmarklet

The irony about this is that when a citizen tries to help a homeowner out by taking over the deed an then tries to rent the property back they would go to jail. I guess what's good for the goose is not good for the gander. - David C. Cooper

"Microsoft has had discussions with News Corp over a plan that would involve the media company's being paid to "de-index" its news websites from Google, setting the scene for a search engine battle that could offer a ray of light to the newspaper industry. The impetus for the discussions came from News Corp, owner of newspapers ranging from the Wall Street Journal of the US to The Sun of the UK, said a person familiar with the situation, who warned that talks were at an early stage. However, the Financial Times has learnt that Microsoft has also approached other big online publishers to persuade them to remove their sites from Google's search engine. News Corp and Microsoft, which owns the rival Bing search engine, declined to comment. One website publisher approached by Microsoft said that the plan "puts enormous value on content if search engines are prepared to pay us to index with them". Microsoft's interest is being interpreted as a direct assault on Google because it puts... more... - sofarsoShawn

Funny how most people are paying to make their content show up in google. I hope they do it and we can see what happens. Of course if it takes off then sites that search all the search engines will spring up very quickly. - John Cooper

"“It is kind of like storing all your secret messages right next to the secret decoder ring,” said Jonathan Zdziarski, an iPhone developer and a hacker who teaches forensics courses on recovering data from iPhones. “I don’t think any of us [developers] have ever seen encryption implemented so poorly before, which is why it’s hard to describe why it’s such a big threat to security.”" - Itachi from Bookmarklet

I'll leave the HD video for my (future) HDTV and the phoning for the phone :) I had fun for a while with video clips and concerts on the Gmini but it's basically for mp3 and data storage (has a slot for my CF photo cards, handy for trips). Of course, a bigger and better screen would suggest more use of the video possibilities. - Luis Canau

"It’s not too often that legacy media learns a new mass communication tool along with its audience. But that’s exactly what’s going on now because of Google Wave. Although it’s still invitation only and in preview, the real-time wiki collaboration platform is being used by some media companies for community building, real-time discussion, crowdsourcing, collaboration both inside and outside the newsroom, and for cross publishing content. Google Wave may seem familiar to older users of the Internet, who have been using the parts that make up the whole of the platform for years. Wave, however, brings those pieces together cohesively to allow users to share photos, embed videos, and converge other Google applications such as Google Maps and Google Calendar to create customized blocks of user-editable content on the fly. Here are four ways that newsrooms are using Wave." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

Será que há algum meio de comunicação social português a usar o Google Wave? RTP? Público? Jornal I? Anyone? - Miguel Caetano

No Brasil só tenho conhecimento da Revista Época estar usando, mas ainda bem ao modo "beta" - Micael

The HypnosEye lets you project images from the screen of your iPhone, iPod Touch or other mobile device onto a screen. It uses a special anti-glare mirror and lens to blow up the screen onto a projection surface. - Praveen Vasudev from Bookmarklet

Facebook links never work for me. For some reason, they always take me to my news feed... - Andrew Terry

Andrew, I believe so - I'll post it if I become aware of it. - Jesse Stay

"All-in-all, this is an extraordinary document with which I find myself in pretty much total agreement.

"What's the best way to get people to listen to your music? For her Monitor Mix blog, Carrie Brownstein at NPR posed the question to a group of industry folks -- musicians, label owners, managers, record store owners, journalists and others. The responses are short on actionable tactics and long on larger issues, but two interrelated themes emerge. First, word of mouth is a main driver of awareness. Even people knee-deep in music rely on recommendations of friends. Second, people believe good music will eventually be discovered." - Miguel Caetano

"1. Have plush offices in the most expensive part of town. 2. You can’t tell me what you do in a single Tweet. 3. If I look around and don’t see programmers. 4. You hire a PR firm. 5. They spend money on the wrong things. 6. (This should be #1) They don’t fire fast enough. 7. You picked the wrong infrastructure. 8. You let VCs control your management team and strategy too early. 9. You have a too cool name and logo. 11. Startups pick old technology because it’s familiar. 12. You don’t change direction fast enough. " - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from Bookmarklet
