Is there a decent download manager for Safari on the Mac? Looking for something similar to DownThemAll for Firefox.
I'm not sure if anything for Safari directly compares w/DownThemAll, but folx is a not-bad free download manager and will have bitTorrent as well, in the longerterm. Leech is not bad and is shareware. I did some searching awhile back and found a few (whose names escape me) that might be good, depending on your requirements. Just google or search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker. Good luck! - Seth Greenblatt

If your having trouble with the new Geo location not working in Firefox 3.5 here is the fix. First, clear all Google cookies. Then go to Google Maps http://maps.google.com/ - after there go to Tools > Page Info > Permissions > Share Location (check "Allow"). Then you should be all good.

Check Out Open Source Library and Collections Management Software - http://www.linux.com/news...
"Libraries--the brick-and-mortar institutions that amass book and periodical collections, not software modules, that is--get taken for granted in the Internet age. They have to manage vast arrays of information and lend them out to patrons for free, but they often have to do so with shoestring budgets. Academic institutional libraries may fare better than public libraries, but both have to be cost-conscious customers when it comes to the technical infrastructure that catalogs their collections, manages circulation, and enables staff and the public to search the archives. Not surprisingly, although there are proprietary products available, open source software plays a big role in library management." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

Google Finally Adds Creative Commons To Image Search
"As a blogger, I search Flickr and other photo sites for Creative Commons commercial licensed content on a daily basis. I like Google’s image search feature but the ability to search Creative Commons and other licensed content was a missing. Today, Google is launchingthe ability to create and advanced search for images that you can use for free and that have been tagged with licenses like Creative Commons. Searches will also include images and art that have been tagged with other licenses, like GNU Free Documentation license, or are in the public domain." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

"Whether you prefer Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X, you can probably get almost everything you need done with your chosen OS. However, sometimes a task demands an OS that you are not currently using. That's where virtualization programs like Sun Microsystem's VirtualBox 3.0 come in. What is it? VirtualBox is an open-source virtualization program which lets you run guest operating systems with your native desktop operating system. For instance, if you need Windows to run Quicken, but prefer Linux for all your other work, VirtualBox enables you to bring up Windows and Quicken without leaving your Linux desktop......" - angrykeyboarder™ (Scott) from Bookmarklet

A Little Noise » Blog Archive » Workbench loses its crutches - http://thenoyes.com/littlen...
"When MySQL Workbench was still in alpha and beta stages, some dark murmurs in the community suggested that the OSS (free) version was crippleware, part of an evil plot to make you pony up $99 if you wanted to get any real benefit. Closed source and profits and bears, oh my! The new GA release of Workbench gets some of those “crippled” features back. In particular, the OSS version now allows connections to a live server, so you can reverse and forward engineer without having to go through a dump file. I also have it on good authority that the OSS version will be able to print diagrams directly, instead of you having to export an image. If you see any merit in a visual diagram of your database, but you wrote off Workbench based on earlier experiences, give it another try now." - Arnaldo M Pereira from Bookmarklet

I am looking for an opensource app to encrypt sensitive data (passwords, bank account numbers etc), better if portable. Do you know a reliable one?

Truecrypt is great (full disk, lots of features), agreed. Depending on the scenario, 7zip http://www.7-zip.org may be an interesting option.

Google Has Done Bad Moves in the Past. Chrome OS is One of Them. - Thoughts on social media, the web and technology - jungleG - http://jungleg.com/2009...
Google Has Done Bad Moves in the Past. Chrome OS is One of Them. - Thoughts on social media, the web and technology - jungleG
Chrome is already gaining acceptance as a browser. If you want to upgrade it to something, I’d say keep it as a client running on top of something else. But introducing another OS when Android is still struggling sounds like a bad idea - Jorge Escobar from Bookmarklet
I'm not sure how Android is "struggling" with Motorola making "several" devices that run on it, as well as other major phone manufacturers delivering Android devices this year. Seems to me, it's off to a good start, especially since everyone I know that has a G1 absolutely loves their phone. - Michael Koby
@Michael it is struggling in the sense that a lot of carriers have been reluctant or have had difficulty implementing it. T-Mobile's G3 may not see the light of day for 2009. And, by the way, I'm a G1 user and absolutely love it. My point with the post is the dual marketing of OS might hurt Google against the other big two guys, MS and Apple. - Jorge Escobar
Jorge, Android was never designed to run on everything, only on largely-pocketable devices (to avoid tying it to cell phones). As such, it carries functionality that may be of little use in larger, desktop-centered installations. Hence the Chrome OS (which, btw., we haven't seen none of it yet, so go easy on the criticism-in-advance pedal), which p.r.e.s.u.m.a.b.l.y is better integrated... more... - ianf ⌘
Valid points, ianf, but let me counterpoint quickly. Windows and Windows Mobile. See a common word there? Why not make Android (the version we have now for cellphones) Android Mobile and Android for larger apps? Isn't an OS an OS no matter what hardware it runs? (I believe Sun was the initial proponent of this back in the 90's). Don't tell me Google can't make Android the OS for... more... - Jorge Escobar
It seems likely that the two groups within Google couldn't come to a common vision and decided to fight it out. Otherwise it's quite irrational. - Todd Hoff
@Todd. E.X.A.C.T.L.Y. - Jorge Escobar
Jorge, Windows doesn't run clean or on ANYTHING, and Windows Mobile is just a brain dead attempt to port it down to far more mission-critical hardware than desktop ever was, ergo the comparison is moot. I don't know Android too well, so I'll stick to primarily philosophical and mercantile arguments... it may well be that Google decided it NEEDS to keep competition alive within the... more... - ianf ⌘
Another possible angle is that it's not a netbook OS only. They plan on embracing and extending other form factors and for that Linux is a better base. If you only want to produce a small form instant on browser base it's hard to see why android wouldn't work just fine. - Todd Hoff
@ianf, I believe calling Windows Mobile "brain dead" is a bit of a stretch, specially knowing Redmond. I had a T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur) and had nothing against the OS, more against the hardware. Plus Windows Mobile is coming with a new version that's supposed to be better/faster. Windows 7 is getting rave reviews, so watch out if we don't be surprised with a great WinMo. - Jorge Escobar
@ianf, now the internal competition thing, I agree could be the case. But as a marketing move, again, this is dumb. - Jorge Escobar
As a marketing move it only creates confusion in the marketplace and splits the brand. What works where? How do I develop for each? Where do I buy apps? Do my apps work cross Google? They will be on different bases with completely different release cycles and priorities for very similar needs. As a developer and a user I'm already confused. If I were MS and Apple I would exploit this confusion. - Todd Hoff
when I hear Android as "thing for netbooks", it makes me smiling... Chrome OS is wise step in sense it will make blow in on netbooks kicking MS & all other closed-sourced crowd. Android is too much lean and mean for that kind of fight. - A.T.
I think there is another, better example for comparison with the alleged Android/ Chrome OS function duality: it's the OSX Cocoa Touch for iPhone and iTouch devices. Right now they run the very same version of the OS, though the Touch, while sporting double onboard memory over the biggest iPhone 3GS model, lacks certain key hardware functions - no camera, no GPS module (ergo location... more... - ianf ⌘
Google has too many products, some are good, but I don't see myself switching OS anytime soon. - natalia ventre
@ianf, found the stats for Mobile OS penetration: "According to research firm IDC, Windows Mobile holds about 15 percent of the mobile OS market, while RIM leads with 48 percent and Apple's iPhone is in second place with 19 percent. Android only has 7.5 percent of the market." - Jorge Escobar
Variable features is common and expected. My code can ship with feature support or not or it can turn on/off at runtime. But it's the same code. Here it will be two different code bases. Completely different situation. - Todd Hoff
Jorge, »I believe calling Windows Mobile "brain dead" is a bit of a stretch« - it may well be. I only played with it for half an hour on some HTC smartphone, and I don't use any other device apart from unphony Palm Lifedrive, but the very concept of creating an OS for mobile devices while leveraging the GUI of the desktop made me puke. Also, I found it incredibly inconsistent in the... more... - ianf ⌘
Jorge, are those statistics for market share by unit delivery or dollar volume? If WinMo in 10+ years time and with several tens, if not hundreds OEMs within its dev corral couldn't capture more than 15% [of the overall figure], and measly Apple could surpass it in just two years, what does it tell you? BTW. I do not believe Apple will ever be the dominant [f]actor in that field simply... more... - ianf ⌘
You don't catch the point. Android is a brand and it's for Smartphones. iPhone is Osx basically but they say "iPhone OS". It's the same. Then welcome Chrome OS, that had different features, different target and different architectures to run on. Chrome OS is not a competitor or a brother of Android, probably is birth from a rib of Android, one day they'll tell us. The point for me is... more... - Lucio Riccardi
I'm sorry, but when you consider the big two, no mobile OS works cross platform with its non-mobile counterpart. That confusion does not exist. No offense, but I think that Todd and Jorge are manufacturing a problem out of thin air. Windows and Windows Mobile have the same word in the name, but so what? There is literally nothing that works across the two operating systems, so devs have... more... - Chieze Okoye
Consider MS had massive investment in a desktop OS that was completely dominant. It's understandable there's a difference between the two platforms. Now, phone capabilities and notebook and even desktop capabilities are quickly converging. On phones we have GPUs, multi-cores, many devices, lots of RAM, lots of disk. Not that much different than a desktop. What's the rationale for a... more... - Todd Hoff
Chrome OS is the right move at the right time. Android isn't struggeling. How can you say that if there are over 10 devices announced and already 3 on the market in that short time? Chrome OS is for desktop computer. Android is for mobile devices. There might be an overlap at netbooks, but other than that it's okay. - Ryo
@Ryo, I believe iPhone OS has been much more effective than Android. Android is the also-ran kid, as Chrome is on the browser world. Don't get me wrong, I love Android, I have a G1. My main browser is Chrome. I just think, as I said in my article, at this point of time Google needs to be more focused to have a chance to succeed, and not have a myriad of products that non-techie consumers can't even begin to understand. - Jorge Escobar
For me Google is very focused with this: they want to deliver their services as first class applications to the user. This does require a redesign of the OS. This would be crazy if they started to build this stuff from scratch, but they rely mostly on existing open source projects. And while Chrome OS and Android look very different, I'm sure they still have a very large common code base. - Oliver Bouchard
@Oliver there's something called Linux that is already nimble, and look where it's gotten to. Google should pick their battles better. - Jorge Escobar
I don't believe they want to battle Linux, they just want to optimize it for their purpose: running Google applications the same way as local application. - Oliver Bouchard from IM
In the end the Chrome OS will just be a gateway to Google's online services. Moving to the cloud has some great applications but I think most prefer to have control over their data. Now if it is a full OS, we'll need developers to write programs for it. In short I see it being introduced in response to MS Gazelle. - Keith Beucler
Hmm, taking a POSIX OS and customizing the hell out of it till you get what you want. Hmmm, now where have I heard of a company doing that before? Hmmmm. @Jorge, as far as Android being less effective, there is a big difference between "less prevalent than the market leader" and "struggling." For a new entrant into the mobile OS game from a company that is not also making the hardware,... more... - Chieze Okoye
Regarding your point on focusing, I definitely agree with you that focus is a good thing and key for Google to succeed, but there is plenty of room in a company as large as Google to "focus" on more than one thing at a time. And indeed, I think that a company that overfocuses in one thing to the detriment of exploring other possible revenue streams and product lines runs the risk of, in the end, painting itself into a corner. - Chieze Okoye

What are your biggest Social Media pet peeves? One of mine are people who use a tinyurl or other shortened URL as their Twitter link. You?

People who use the term "Social Media" - Blake
I'll probably think of more throughout the day, but I hate it when people purposely put misleading images in the middle of their youtube videos and it's used as the thumbnail - Cassidy
@Blake what term would you use instead of "Social Media"? - Aline Ohannessian
Blake: I bet you also love the term "Social Graph" haha - Mike Bracco
1) Tacking the term "social" onto everything 2) Hyping (as opposed to facts) 3) Nonsensical trends & memes 4) Pointless joke posts (especially on Digg) 5) Baseless bashing 6) Poor spelling/grammar in FB statuses 7) On FriendFeed, pointless posts by prominent people that get liked by 50 other users and clutter my Home Feed 8) On FB, no tags or captions in pics 9) Using Twitter as a copy... more... - LANjackal
Have you guys ever tried www.lunch.com? It doesn't have any of the problems 1-9 that LANjackal said and I completely agree! I HATE it when you have a constant stream of nonsensical 13-year olds posting jabs to each other, often misspelled jabs. It's a combo of Yelp and Wikipedia, so you get quality reviews on stuff you want to check out by people that share similar interests with you.... more... - DJ Evoke

When people submit those "This is why I love Digg" stories to Digg - Cassidy
Also: Inaccurate Digg submissions: people who title their submissions misleadingly in a manner that doesn't agree with what the link itself says - LANjackal from IM
Facebook quizzes..., Facebook apps, the four people that are fans of "Tickling/Smiling/Sleeping/Eating/Breathing/etc" on Facebook, the fact that when I closed my Facebook account, people called me to ask why they couldn't find my profile to write on my wall (YOU CALLED ME, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY?!).

@DJ Evoke, I think it could get annoying to hear about peoples' bowel movements, but that's kinda how twitter/FB started. Other uses kinda just developed after people started seeing it as a platform for something more than just a way to share what you ate for lunch. Though, there are some people (family, friends) where I want to see random, "purposeless" updates. - Cassidy
I deal with annoying FB statuses by checking them via Digsby's FB chat feature only. That shows only the people who're online and is a lot more manageable. + it allows me to use the site without actually having to be on it - LANjackal from IM
dealing with spammers and trolls :( - Shane
@LANjackal- thanks SO much for that suggestion- I'm going to look into it! @Cassidy, you're right- I want to see the random BS updates from friends and family, just not complete strangers that I could care less about...I know that sounds harsh but, once you belong to a couple of these things it gets tedious to scroll through. - DJ Evoke
DJ Evoke and Cassidy: You might (or probably not :) be interested in two fascinating projects built around Twitter and bowel movements - LOL - http://twishitter.com/ and http://gizmodo.com/5259381... - Mike Bracco

Funny that you asked. I am annoyed by my own posts that get duplicated or posted more than twice because of the other sites that I aggregated(?) with other social sites. FF for example. I attached a lot of my social networks to it, then a post hits twitter, then twitter hits FB, then FB hits my blogs and you got the idea. Then my twitter and friendfeed end up receiving and reposting the same post that originated from soup.io for example. Any suggestion? - RON08

I've been using bambooINVOICE http://bambooinvoice.org/ for a few month now, and it though it has a lean feature-set (it's a web app, and really well done one), I like how it gets the job done for me. - Micah Wittman
Nice, downloading now. I've used DeskAway before but don't really like the interface. I like the idea of putting something on my own server, though. Thanks Micah! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I've bounced back and forth on a bunch of them, but I needed different stuff than you (I didn't care about the time tracker/invoice generator part, and it mostly got in my way). CreativeProOffice was full-featured, but buggy. Zoho Projects came really close, but the free version didn't have multiple projects. - Jandy
Check out this Wikipedia Entry - they list them all out in a nice grid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Mike Bracco
@CW Pretty expensive - Shevonne
Nice suggestions all, however most of these are specific to just invoicing. I'm looking for more project oriented things, like ability to track time entries denoted by tasks. Definitely geared towards web design/development types. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Basecamp does the project management (http://basecamphq.com/) and Harvest (http://www.getharvest.com/) connects to Basecamp and does your invoicing. Timetracking can be done in either Harvest or Basecamp (I prefer Harvest). Invoicing is a breeze. Harvest has an excellent iPhone app for timetracking on the go. That should convince the design types ;-) - Peter van Teeseling

Anthony: that's just baloney and FUD. Microsoft's TOS are the gold standard. THIRTY DAYS notice http://dev.live.com/terms... for example, but it's pretty much all the same for any of their services. Even Google and Facebook promise to at least make you aware of changes through the interface of the service you're using. And Facebook is also specific about the "minimum days notice" for different types of changes. - Joel Bennett
Hi Joel. Microsoft's 30 days notice looks great for the future. For the moment we have been asking for a lot of feedback on our terms from our users (thanks for yours :)) and made changes accordingly that have always been beneficial to our users. Terms are very important for photographers and we will keep our incremental approach a little more until we reach a version that satisfies all. - Fotopedia
It's awesome that you're listening! I'll keep checking back, I'm at my limit of how many TOS contracts I can keep checking every day :( -- I'm looking at you #Friendfeed - Joel Bennett
@Joel: I swear I came across a specific site that tracked TOSes and EULAs and such. I can't find it now with a quick search, but we could probably aim a generic site watching service at TOS and EULA pages, I suspect. - Pistos
not to mention that in law, that line in the contract is unenforcable and the consumer (in the UK at least) has all the protection here. If a company changes the T&C's without informing you, you *must* agree to the new terms for them to be applicable else the contract is actually void. - alphaxion
@Pistos: I've used http://trakkor.better-idea.org/ with some success (For instance, you can add this feed http://trakkor.better-idea.org/tracker... as a Virtual Friend to find out about Friendfeed TOS changes IN Friendfeed) - Joel Bennett
@Alphaxion Yes, and a lot of people *think* that's the case where *they* live, but I would advise people that unless they know for sure of a specific court case in their home state, they should assume it's enforceable. - Joel Bennett

What is the best client for FriendFeed on the iPhone? (so far)
Freshfeed - Isaac Zahavi
I've seen Fftogo on people's posts. Robert Scoble doesn't use any client. Is ff native UI good enough? - Franc ☺
I have no iPhone but I've seen ffeed on a nokia it feels just as smooth. - Franc ☺
I think it is /iphone. As well as for the G1. - Jorge Escobar
I tried some.. But +1 still for /iphone - Lucio Riccardi from iPhone
Agreed with /iphone. Definitely adequate, though haven't tried too many of the other options. - Gus

What planet is that? Ask Wolfram Alpha | Education IT | ZDNet.com - http://education.zdnet.com/...
"My youngest son often asks whether a particular object in the sky is a planet or a star. If it’s a planet, of course, he wants to know which planet. Some of them I can pick out. Venus isn’t usually rocket science (no pun intended). Mercury can be a little tougher. Fortunately, I stumbled across a video blog from Wolfram Alpha yesterday that describes their efforts specifically in the field of astronomy. Can you imagine what a search for “planets” would give you on Google? The same search on Alpha was downloadable as this PDF. A search for “big dipper” was equally useful and, like all Alpha searches, provided bibliographic references as well." - Arnaldo M Pereira from Bookmarklet
