Nice!
- Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ Ⓟⓘⓡⓘⓛⓛⓞ
been waiting for this for a long time. Now you can seamlessly browse Cooliris in a browser tab enabling you to cmd-click / ctl-click images and have them load in background tabs to fave/comment/etc later. This new release is really great news.
- Thomas Hawk
About time!
- Simon Wicks
LOL, they don't have a version that works with 3.5 currently that I can find. So you have to wait a little longer on that. I love the app though, and was so excited to see this.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Humm. Seems that its only works in browser view, if you hit the fullscreen view and do the command click it closes out and goes back to normal. Still opens the tab behind though. So, almost there for me :)
- Simon Wicks
and i just realised you said browse in a browser tab... Silly me :(
- Simon Wicks
I am using it in 3.5.
- Kreg Steppe
BTW, Thomas...have you used the Slideshow on Flickr to browse contacts? I would do that and fav from it.
- Kreg Steppe
I have Kreg, this is far better than Slideshow. The ability to increase both size and speed with the mouse is massive. I've seen nothing on the web more visually enticing for photos than Cooliris.
- Thomas Hawk
Kreg, I'll have to see if I can get it to update then.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
I agree Thomas. I have used Coloris in the past. I love it...and it is more useful now.
- Kreg Steppe
from email
Thanks for the info. I had it once but didn't find it useful, the new version looks much more useful. About the hyperlink: if it takes you to a page that tries to get you to use cooliris than it best be used in moderation. When photoplow started up and encouraged chatters to post comments to photos with the line "seen in a discussion on photoplow" there were spam complaints in the help...

- Theresa
Yeah, I hear you Theresa, but browsing a pool/set/etc using it is just so damn beautiful and now that they've got the cmd/click piece down it makes it fully operable as a way to both browse photos and interact. It might be hard for me to resist posting links to great sets/pools/etc. with it. Here's another GREAT view, the DMU saved photos pool: http://www.cooliris.com/tab...
- Thomas Hawk
I tried it once before and found its operation kind of clunky, even though it is very visually appealing. I'll have to give the new version another try.
- John (bird whisperer)
John the new version feels smooth as a silk.
- Thomas Hawk
Now if I could just get it to default back to fullscreen instead of a tab, I'd be real happy. Been using Cooliris for a long time. Changed the way I browse the web.
- mike fabio
Thx for this, cooliris is a wonderful tool!
- timepilot
i used cooliris back in the day, but i think ill need to install this again...
- Cass
Thanks for posting, Thomas! Good to have you back on Cooliris - we hope we can keep rolling out releases that you and everyone else will love :) And for those of you who may have been experience FF3.5 compatibility problems with Cooliris, please go back to our site and download Cooliris again. That should take care of any problems.
- Cooliris
For pages that have 2 Media RSS feeds, Cooliris 1.9 would find the one with id="gallery". That feature was handy because you could have one blog-style feed with media and another slideshow-optimized feed. The feature is missing in 1.10 and 1.11. Will it return in a future release?

I must be missing something... how do i integrate flickr into cooliris? as in, how do i view a photostream or set?

Bruce, not sure at the moment, but we'll be keeping that in mind. I'll submit it as a feature request!
- Cooliris

I absolutely LOVE Cool Iris -- secret: make your PowerPoint slides image files and zip thru your preso with Cool Iris and watch your audience's jaws drop on the conf. rm table :)
- Susan Beebe
Impressive. Great way to view photos on Facebook too.
- Mike Doeff
They still haven't implemented the one or two features which I consider most important. 1. The ability to Fav (on Flickr) a photo without leaving the Cooliris interface. 2. The ability to comment on a photo (on Flickr) without having to leave the Cooliris interface. Having to bounce in and out of Cooliris, even if just between browser tabs is very disruptive.
- TranceMist
TranceMist, hear you loud and clear - will also add to feature request. We love your feedback/ideas about Cooliris so keep it coming! :)
- Cooliris
Is there a way to make Cooliris open a picture in a new tab just by control clicking the main picture? The only way I can get the new tab feature to work is to control click on the tiny arrow at lower right...
- Sam Posten
Sam - yes, clicking the arrow icon is still the way to launch Cooliris. We'll look into the ctrl click you suggested!

my trick question to ask job interviewees is: "Venus or Serena?" it tests sports/pop culture chops and creativity. but the answer is always: VENUS!

I heard on the radio Venus is on a streak. So I'll root for her.

I disagree. I'd say the answer is probably Serena. Power FTW

- chaz2b
John ...hahaha! that's why i ask it. I just want to see what someone will do with the question. the most creative answer i got was: "Verena." Another applicant, who earlier had indicated that tennis was one of her interests, completely waffled on the question; she got hired, though, and turned out to be, you guessed it, a waffler when it comes to on-the-job decisions. You should try asking this question if you have the chance. ;)

As far as actual tennis goes, I say Venus, because although she's less powerful than little sister, she's got better technique ...but @chaz2b is right: it will be decided later today.

Members Of Congress Call For an End to Federal Marijuana Penalties - http://capwiz.com/norml2...
Brandon, John Ford, Mona Nomura and 18 other people liked this
"Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank, along with co-sponsors Ron Paul (R-TX); Maurice Hinchey (D-NY); Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA); and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), has reintroduced legislation to limit the federal government's authority to arrest and prosecute minor marijuana offenders. The measure, entitled an "Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults," would eliminate federal penalties for the personal possession of up to 100 grams (three and one-half ounces) of cannabis and for the not-for-profit transfer of up to one ounce of pot - making the prosecutions of these offenses strictly a state matter. Under federal law, defendants found guilty of possessing small amounts of cannabis for their own personal use face up to one year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. Passage of this act would provide state lawmakers the choice to maintain their current penalties for minor marijuana offenses or eliminate them completely. Lawmakers would also have the option to explore legal alternatives to tax and regulate the adult use and distribution of cannabis free from federal interference."

- Mona Nomura
In a frying pan over medium low heat works great. Lower heat means less splatter. Just keep an eye on it and turn it as it cooks. Also, don't worry about having a heap of bacon in the pan. As the strips cook, they shrink enough and you can cook two or three layers of strips if you are careful. Mmmm bacon!
- Jeremy Brooks
@Mona: Use the baking meathod but line the tray with foil. That way you can let the grease cool, wrap up the foil and toss it. Makes clean up nice and easy.

Don't buy crappy bacon full of water. Get dry cured bacon. There will be less splattering, and very little shrinkage. It will also leave you with enough fat to cook your eggs in.
- Chris Nixon
I just bake it in the oven on a foil-lined cookie sheet for 7 mins at 350 deg F, flip, and then another 5 or 6 mins. Yes, it gets greasy from sitting in the rendered fat, but if you transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and dab the tops with paper towels it doesn't take long at all to absorb the extra grease. The rack is a good idea for sure, but with my method I just get rid of the foil for one-step clean up. :)
- Cheryl Jones
As far as using bacon grease to cook eggs in, I just drain a tablespoon or so off of the cookie sheet into a frying pan (been using cast-iron lately) after I've flipped the bacon. Works out quite well.

Anyone know how long bacon grease keeps in the fridge? I've read that it's good to save the bacon grease for using in other recipes, but since I don't actually make much bacon, it'd take a while to save up a significant amount. Suggestions on the best way to store bacon grease?
- Cheryl Jones
It lasts a long time and you can freeze it if you're paranoid. Strain it first to remove any bits of flesh. You can store it in glass or tin, I suppose. My aunt used to have a ceramic jar shaped like a pig that she saved hers in.

"Some commenters seem to believe that because I am critical of the current conservative movement, I must be a liberal--maybe even a left-wing Democrat. To those commenters, disbelief in global warming, in the regulation of gun ownership, and in the criminalization of early as well as late abortions is a litmus test of "true" conservatism. There are, in fact, multiple conservatisms, as Becker and I have emphasized. Like Becker, I believe in limited government and so do not support government activities that cannot be justified convincingly by reference to considerations of economic prosperity, basic individual liberties, or domestic or national security. I do not favor the curtailment of individual liberties on the basis of religious beliefs, nostalgia for the "good old days," or traditional social beliefs (such as distaste for racial minorities or homosexuals) that cannot be related to economic, libertarian, or security values.

The GOP is distinct from the Conservative Movement. Moving away from Conservatism, as in failing to cut spending when in power or nominating McCain for President, is what has the GOP in trouble.
- Robert Hafer
Robert Hafer: a number of factors have done in the GOP: attacks on U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, crony (corrupt) capitalism, embrace of police state culture, fiscal irresponsibility, hate radio, messianic and reckless foreign policy, neoconservatism, religious fundamentalism, subversion of the intelligence process, torture. It has been an amazing performance and decline. And they seem hell-bent on digging themselves deeper into the hole.

Sean, seven of the things you mention could also be said of the Democrat party. Eight if you include Global Warming as a religion. The truth is that more average Americans are Conservative than Liberal; if they have a party that represents that, they will vote for them.

The economy hasn't been under 20 years of conservatives. Last I seen, democrats took control in '06 and lets remember, they control most of the strings. But hey, I should trust Obama and his huge spending, after all, a cabinet full of tax cheats is good, right?
- Spencer
Ooooh, that was witty. Where did you get that one from, Hannity or Rush?

And would those be the same Democrats who couldn't bend over fast enough for Bush whenever he wanted? You mean, THOSE Democrats?

@Rene - They were actually risk free for the originators, were they not?

Spencer, before this descends any further into 4th-grade insults, let me tell where I stand on political parties: I don't trust ANY of them. Not a one. There's a joke that Lewis Black once told that sums up my feelings on the subject: "Republicans and Democrats are like thieves that break into your house and steal your TV. Republicans piss on you on their way out. Democrats hand you an umbrella and tell you to watch out for the rain."
- Steven Perez
from IM
@Rene - Again, please show me one Unregulated bank in the US, that is an out right lie and fallacy!

So, that's why I like Obama a bit more than his predecessor. Obama may be lots of things, but at least he's not a self-righteous jerk who thinks that God's on his side, like more than a few neocons I could mention and which Sean already has.

Steven - Greed came from the Gov buddy, is fact! They created the entire market for Sub-Prime, they were threatening banks to do so! how come that market did not exist in the Reagan hay day of the 80s then?
- Brian
@Rene - There is a reason the market blossomed in the last 20 years and not in the last 30!
- Brian
@Rene- 1 thing you might have missed in the article is that even Fannie & Freddie refused to purchase in the Sub-Prime market in the early 90s
- Brian
@Rene - 1 last point, we do not argue that the free market does not have problems! they do! It is the left that REFUSE to acknowledge the Gov obvious huge influence here and that is going to lead to even bigger issues in the future, mark my words on that!
- Brian
@Rene - Maybe we could agree there!
- Brian
@Rene - Here is where our philosophies go in separate directions, I believe that we can have a greater impact on the free market than we can on Gov and that we can navigate the effects the free market has on us with less impact than we can the Gov. When the Gov makes a law or reg there is no way around unless you have undue influence like a lot of the Big Corps have.
- Brian
@Rene - 1 thing I know for certain is, Big companies benefit by lots of regs and higher taxes due to the fact that they truly have less impact on them than they do their smaller competitors, higher taxes and more regs will benefit the status quo in the end!
- Brian
@Rene - No one on my side argues for NO regs, I believe that they should be minimal and necessary! And no, I do not want the Fed Gov to run the banks by proxy! Fannie & Freddie have proven what will come of that!
- Brian
@Rene - How did this country of ours become the leading economy in a little over 200 years? I believe that freedom and liberty played a large role.
- Brian
@Rene, why do you want this country to be like every other country? Why does the worlds population immigrate here rather than us immigrating to the rest of the world?
- Brian
@Rene - Greedy Corps love reg and high taxes, you really need to give that some thought to that, the small innovator is the one who will be harmed the most by over-regulation and high taxes as they do not have any influence on our regulators and congressman, President, etc..... High taxes have less of an impact on large corps pricing and they have a huge impact on Small Co pricing, same...

- Brian
@Rene - And never forget the fact that the large greedy Cos can have a huge impact on regs so as to minimize their impact and they have the same influence on the tax code so as to shelter their profits from taxation, the fact is, the large greedy cos have more influence in WA with the right AND the left, they will use that to their advantage.
- Brian
@Rene - Isn't Sweden a favorite tax shelter in and of itself?
- Brian
@Rene - Have you ever heard of a small innovator who is too big to fail? Why is that? No influence!
- Brian
@Rene - I am sorry, I would never, I repeat, never, support 100% taxation, ridiculous, when you volunteer to do that let me know!
- Brian
@Rene - did you forget what I said about influence?
- Brian
@Rene - I do not believe you will ever get rid of that, unless the Gov takes over entirely.
- Brian
@Rene - Then you have Tyranny! Democracy or not.
- Brian
@Rene- Then you need to volunteer! there is a box on your tax form that will allow you to pay 100% What is good for the goose is truly good for the Gander!
- Brian
@Rene - We can punish the Rich by not buying their products, we do not need to have Gov do it for us!
- Brian
@Rene - China has a lower Cap gains tax on Corps than we do, the reason they are growing is because they opened up their economy not the opposite!
- Brian
@Rene - Funny you mention that, we (not Bush) argue that our Gov is spending us into bankrupcy!
- Brian
@Rene - Let me give you an answer to the Bank statement and Tax statement at the same time: Care to explain to me why a bank would pay someone interest to put money in his bank? It is because he is going to use that capitol to invest and make loans and we all know how important that is now don't we? Let me tell you how the owner of the company I work for made money in the 70s when the...

- Brian
@Rene - I would argue that freeing their economy was the All important factor, the fact that their Gov is still Communist is why there is still oppression of their people occurring!
- Brian
@Rene - restricting our economy will only make us less competitive.
- Brian
@Rene - Why would you ever believe that 600 blowhards in DC can run an effective and competitive economy? They will do what comes naturally, they will create a Political mess of the entire thing! SSI & Medicare shows the way, you, me and everyone alive today would have to come up with $175K each to cover the unfunded liabilities of those 2 programs alone! Do you have it? I know I don't.
- Brian
@Rene - In fact you can confiscate the net worth of every rich person in the country and you would still fall short of covering those obligations! I think were headed for massive printing of the $$$$ so you might want to buy Gold!
- Brian
@Rene - Just putting it in an account with interest would have been safer, again, do you have 175K?
- Brian
@Rene - exactly, as my Boss did!
- Brian
@Rene - All I know is were a headed for some scary times and I am not too sure that Freedom and Liberty had much to do with it, they all coincide with our Gov becoming more burdensome and more powerful and having more influence on our everyday lives. We shall see though! The Gov is no doubt going to grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years, we shall see if it is the start of a great Nirvana :-)
- Brian
@Rene - Also, I would gladly agree to getting rid of ALL tax loopholes and subsidies! Then have a few REASONABLE rates! Then enforce all laws period!
- Brian
@Rene - As you said earlier, we can agree to disagree as the old statement goes.
- Brian
@Rene - But it is only debates like these where you can put your beliefs and idealogy to the test and for that I commend you! I find I learn more debating those who disagree than I do with those with whom I do agree!

You gets no love from me.

doubtful considering the constituents, though perhaps a non-christian president in your lifetime.
- xero
John, Douglas, please reread the Constitution. Nowhere will you find a reference to Christianity or the Bible. At best the majority of the founding fathers were deists. Then read Jefferson's writings from that period. These days he'd be considered a non-believer. BTW-"In God We Trust" was added to coinage and paper money in 1954 as a reaction to the Communist threat.
- Jack&Cleo
@Jeff Jones, I have to agree with @John Head. Christian morals and beliefs founded the USA. However, they felt tolerance of other religions (mainly other denominations) was important. Very few of the founding influential would even publicly consider atheism as viably PC at the time; the populace just wouldn't have it. If those governing the public did not answer to anyone other than themselves, the public would have felt the system corrupt. 1st amendment must be read in concert with the constitution.
- xero
@Jack Carlson, privately deist perhaps (many were mason's after all), but publicly Christian en masse, at least in legislative writing. You'll be hard-pressed to find a reference to "a god" or "whatever god" except when speaking specifically cross-religion. You'll find "God" and "our God" on many more of the public documents they wrote. Given, our fear of communism did change many things we see today to include a reference to "God", such as the coinage and pledge. Good point btw, and TJ was an exception
- xero
Quote seen on http://www.netalive.org/topics... "Deism says it is rationality and reason that leads to God. To the Deist, the evidence is the creation and the idea of what brought about the evidence is the Creator." It seems that, like an atheist, a deist is also an anti-religious rationalist, only having reached a different conclusion. I once called 18th century deists "the athiests of their day" and after reading some more about deism, I think I still stand by that.
- Pierre Houston
"God" is the basic Christian/Jewish god, why not "god(s)" or "Allah" or "Shiva" or "Zeus" or "the Creator(s)" or even better, why even bother mentioning a deity or creator? Given, references are mixed, but they really didn't need a reference at all, ever.

To those asking if one would want a non-Christian president: One does not need to be a Christian to have Christian values - or, indeed, the values held up by any religion.

abhorrent to have an elected official be religious? There's only a handful of federal elected officials who are NOT! Why is it abhorrent to the majority to have an elected official who is NOT religious? Can they not separate morality and ethics from religion and see how someone could be moral and ethical without being religious? Freedom of religion should mean freedom NOT to believe, as well, but so far not in this country.

Dale: my producer, Rocky helped build his studio when he was 12-years-old.

We listened to his music recorded at 192 and then on CD and it's not even close. The quality difference is so extreme.
