This Thoof project is really interesting. It's a new site for Personalized News. It has the same idea than Digg, where anyone can propose links for interesting news on the web, with a short description.
Nothing new for you?
Well, with Thoof every link can be "enhanced" for others visitors. It's possible to change the title, the description, the link address and add tags, if you want. It's a feature that I always missed on Digg, after all, what to do with a great link, but with a bad description?
After suggesting enhancements, all visitors can vote on the best version. But, you won't lost your favorite versions, every link you click will be registered, that way is easy to find all the articles you visited.
The system can learn what you like and start to suggest an exclusive page with your favourite subjects. It's like a mix of Wiki and Digg, allowing more visitors interaction.
Some great features:
when you scroll to end of the page, new content is automatically added to it.
after one minute or more, the page expires and a new one is loaded, with fresh links.
it was designed with Apache Wicket
it's a Ian Clarke's project, the guy behind The Freenet project.
It's a great tool for bloggers willing to attract visitors.

Since I started Josie's campaign, I've been learning a few things about monetizing a blog.
And here is my tips to make money blogging:
Sell advertising. Selling ad space might be the oldest way to make a buck, so you can find them in every right margin in every page in this site.
Help sell others' products. Many companies run "affiliate" programs. I'm Amazon affiliate. You can buy anything at Amazon through my blog. Just following these links: Buy at Amazon.com and Buy at Amazon.co.uk
Solicit contributions. If you're toiling away to maintain a blog that people enjoy, why not ask your guests to show a little monetary appreciation? Here you can follow this button “make a donation” using PayPal.
Market your services in your blog. Work in references to what you do and, in turn, what you may be able to offer any would-be client or customer who may be reading your blog. For example, you also can buy gifts from Cambridge (my works) following this link gifts from Cambridge, UK
Write Paid Reviews.
When monetizing your blog, don’t rely on a single source of income. There are lots of ways to get money out of your blogging work, so do a little research. So, don't give up and keep on blogging!
I hate when I visit a
News website, like journals and magazines and heave to pay to read
the content.
Information should be free.
But here is Congoo News to
help with this problem.
They offer you free
limited access with Netpass to subscription sites, including Wall Street Journal,
Encyclopaedia Britannica, Financial Times and others.
Congoo’s News Channel
has organized content from more than 25.000 sources.
"This innovative project takes a close look at the current state of this
exciting, rapidly mutating image environment.
A highly interactive
event, it welcomes submissions from across the globe, and invites both
live and virtual debates between visitors of all ages, educators,
representatives of industry, photographers, editors, curators and
cutting-edge internauts, netizens, and digerati.
And just as our image
world shifts with each passing hour, minute and second, so too will our
exhibition respond to new developments with constant updates.
...This is the first major museum project to undertake a comprehensive overview of the digital revolution as it impacts on everyone.
Wherever you are in the world, you can participate in its exhibition!
You can submit your images and they'd be displayed in its galleries.
Sometimes, I'd love to know what someone is really thinking.
Now we can.
“You Can Read Anyone”
a new book by Dr. David J. Lieberman, uses psychological techniques
to help figure out a person’s thoughts and feelings in minutes.
“You Can Read Anyone”
shows step-by-step exactly how to tell what someone is thinking in
real-life situations. For example, you will see how to determine if
an opponent poker player will stay in or fold, if that saleswoman is
being honest when she says that dress is perfect for you or if your
date you call you back when he says he will.
Does it really work? I
don't know, but, Dr. Lieberman's books are used by the FBI, The
Department of the Navy, Fortune 500 companies, and by governments,
corporations, and mental health professionals in more than 25 five
countries. You can get
more info on YOU CAN READ ANYONE at Amazon.com.
Dr. Lieberman is an
award-winning author and internationally recognized leader in the
fields of human behaviour and interpersonal relationships.
The New York Times put
it best, declaring in a feature article: “Don’t lie to David
Lieberman.”
Well, after reading his
book, nobody will lie to you too.
Discover Magazine has a contest where the best video explaining String Theory in Two minutes or less will appear on the Discover home page and the makers featured in the magazine and and broadcast via a prominent spot on the homepage of Discover.com.
Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, best-selling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos, will select the winner video.
What are you waiting for?
Your goal is to create a video that quickly and clearly explains
perhaps the most baffling idea in the history of the world: string
theory.
And the fun part is that you have just two minutes.

Alright, we've been following the RIAA's increasingly frequent affronts
to privacy and free speech lately, and it's about time we stopped
merely bitching and moaning and did something about it.
The RIAA has
the power to shift public policy and to alter the direction of
technology and the Internet for one reason and one reason alone: it's
totally loaded. Without their millions of dollars to throw at lawyers,
the RIAA is toothless.
They get their money from us, the consumers, and
if we don't like the way they're behaving, we can let them know with
our wallets."
How can you boycott
RIAA?
"Purchasing music from unsigned bands and bands on
independent record labels. There are tons of great artists out there,
many of which you're probably already a fan of, that have nothing to
do with the RIAA. Buy their records at eMusic,
an online store that sells independent tunes in beautiful, DRM-free
MP3 format.
Supporting RIAA-signed bands without buying their
music. Go see them live and buy their merchandise; they get a lot
more money from that then they do from album sales."
When his rich
grandfather Red Stevens (portrayed by James Garner) died, Jason (Drew
Fuller) thought he was going to inherit a piece of the oil man's
multi-billion dollar estate. Things didn't quite happen that way.
In
order to get his share of the willed inheritance, Jason must complete
12 separate assignments within a year long period of time.
Each assignment is
centered around a "gift". The gifts of Money, Friends, and
Knowledge are among the dozen that Jason must learn before he is
eligible for the mysterious "Ultimate Gift" his
grandfather's will has for him.
Along the way, the
movie spins a couple side stories that were not in the novel, adding
a love interest, Alexia (Ali Hillis), and her daughter Emily, a
mysterious girl (an up-and-coming Abigail Breslin who also co-starred
in Signs and beat out Dakota Fanning for the role of Olive in Little
Miss Sunshine) who has more to her than meets the eye.
And as Jason
works through these twelve gifts in twelve months, he comes to see
Red Stevens as more than a deceased billionaire.
Because of the
philanthropic message of the film, charities in a handful of
communities sponsored advance screenings of The Ultimate Gift to
coincide with National Philanthropy Day 2006.
Also on the opening weekend of this movie will be titled a "Weekend of
Giving" where $1.00 from every ticket sold will go towards a charity of
your choice, thanks to a special partnership with the Fox Film Fund.
Orbo produces free, clean and constant energy - that is our claim. By free we mean that the energy produced is done so without recourse to external source. By clean we mean that during operation the technology produces no emissions. By constant we mean that with the exception of mechanical failure the technology will continue to operate indefinitely.
Steorn issued a challenge to the scientific community in August 2006 to test our technology and report their findings.
Detailed specs on the Orbo energy system are promised by the end of Q1 of this year and the process of validation that has resulted from this challenge is currently underway, with results expect by the end of 2007.
So, what do you think? Is it possible?
I still believe that could be other Lost Easter Egg.
Digital rights issues have been gaining increasing
prominence as innovation accelerates, more and more digital media
products and services come onto the market and the consumer wants to
get access to digital content over different platforms. Many content
providers have been embedding access and management tools to protect
their rights and, for example, prevent illegal copying. We believe
that they should be able to continue to protect their content in this
way.
However, DRM does not only act as a policeman through technical
protection measures, it also enables content companies to offer the
consumer unprecedented choice in terms of how they consume content,
and the corresponding price they wish to pay.
It is clear though that the needs and rights of
consumers must also be carefully safeguarded. It is reasonable for
consumers to be informed what is actually being offered for sale, for
example, and how and where the purchaser will be able to use the
product, and any restrictions applied.
While there is good reason to
expect the market to reach a balance as these new markets develop, it
is important that consumers' interests are maintained in the
meantime.
Apart from the APIG (All Party Internet Group)
report on DRM referred to in your petition, Digital Rights issues are
an important component in other major HMG review strands on
Intellectual Property, New Media and the Creative Economy. In
particular, the independent Gowers Review of Intellectual Property
commissioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, published its report
on 6th December 2006 as part of the Chancellor's Pre-Budget Report.
Recommendations include introducing a limited private copying
exception by 2008 for format shifting for works published after the
date that the law comes into effect. There should be no accompanying
levies for consumers.
Also making it easier for users to file notice
of complaints procedures relating to Digital Rights Management tools
by providing an accessible web interface on the Patent Office website
by 2008 and that DTI should investigate the possibility of providing
consumer guidance on DRM systems through a labelling convention
without imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens.
You can see the full report on the HM
Treasury website.
The Government has welcomed the Gowers Report and
will now be looking to implement the recommendations for which it is
responsible.
Geeks are known to live, literally, at their desks. Their workspace can
become somewhat personalized and cluttered. Sometimes massively so. If
you think your workspace is one of the best (meaning worst), go to CrunchGear
and check out their workspace challenge. Whoever sends in a picture
with the most ridiculously horrible workspace wins a new Steelcase
chair.
The prizes for this thing are
incredible and I really couldn’t be more excited about it. The grand
prize is a brand new Steelcase chair. The winner can choose either any Think chair available or any Leap chair excluding the leather ones (so basically you can pick between the black or platinum base fabric Leaps). The value of these chairs are about $900 and you can pick your covering color.
Now for the rules. To enter, we need pictures of the worst workspaces.
This includes your desk, chair, general work environment, etc. We want
to see disaster. Papers everywhere, gum stuck to stuff, coffee spilled,
broken chairs, smashed desks, whatever. It needs to be Bad, with a
capital B. Send your entries to contest at crunchgear dot com with the
subject “Worst Workspace Challenge.”
They’re going to run this one for exactly seven days. That means they’ll close next Monday, so get to work.
Note: I'll NOT participate in this contest, because it's not fair with others competitors.
Estou
impressionada com a capacidade criativa dos criminosos por aí. Já não
basta o próprio crime contra o menino João Hélio ter sido algo terrível, agora
estão usando o caso para roubar você.
É, roubar seus dados,
senhas, instalar programas maliciosos em sua máquina.
Acabei
de receber este e-mail, por sinal, muito bem feito, que diz conter um video da
reconstituiçao da cena do crime. O email, na realidade é um Phishing Scam, um tipo de
fraude eletrônica projetada para roubar informações valiosas particularesonde
voce recebe uma mensagem eletrônica, geralmente um e-mail, recado no site Orkut
("scrap"), entre outros exemplos, utilizando de pretextos falsos, que
tenta enganar o receptor da mensagem e induzi-lo a fornecer informações
sensíveis (números de cartões de crédito, senhas, dados de contas bancárias,
entre outras) ou baixar e executar e arquivos que permitam o roubo futuro de
informações ou o acesso não autorizado ao sistema da vítima.
O
que mais me impressionou neste caso foi a qualidade do Scam, que voces podem
conferir a seguir, que pode enganar muita gente. O arquivo que suspostamente é
o video, na realidade é um arquivo mal-intencionado, com extensão .src (Não
clique no arquivo).
Informem seus amigos, previna-os contra
mais esta fraude.

As
a prolific netizen, you generate lots of web-based feeds: your Flickr
photos, your del.icio.us bookmarks, your weblog posts and your
Lifehacker comments, to name a few. Instead of going here there and
everywhere to see all the content you create on the web, combine it all
into one master feed using with the newly-launched Yahoo! Pipes.
Sure,
feed aggregators are a dime a dozen these days, but Yahoo! Pipes can
filter and process feeds in lots of fun and useful ways, no programming
required. Today we'll make a master feed of all your online activity
using Pipes.
Fetch all your feeds
To get started, head over to Pipes
and start a new one. If you haven't used Pipes yet, the interface takes
some getting used to, but it's fun to work with once you get your head
around it. Basically you drag and drop modules from the left-hand
column onto the canvas, enter information, and then link those modules.
In
order to get all your feeds, you're going to expand the "Sources"
branch and drag and drop the Fetch module onto the canvas. Within
Fetch, you'll enter each of your feed sources, one by one, as shown.
Click
on the + sign to add more feeds. Here's what my fetch module looks like
with the Lifehacker feed, my del.icio.us bookmarks, Flickr photos, and
personal blog feed.
Filter and sort
Now, here's the fun
part. Using Pipes, you can filter, sort, and otherwise munge all those
feeds you just fetched. Pipes offers some fancypants Flickr, Yahoo!
Search, Local and other ways to process feed items, but we're just
going to use the simple Filter and Sort.
For example, I just want
to include the feed items from Lifehacker that have my byline in them.
So, I drag and drop the Filter module from the left hand side. Then,
click and drag on the dot on the bottom of the Fetch module, and
connect it to the top of the Filter module. This is how you "pipe" the
data from the URLs to the Filter.
Finally, enter your Filter
criteria. For me, it was "Block all the items where the link contains
lifehacker.com and the body does not contain the word 'Trapani.'"
Lastly,
you want to sort the items by date so the newest stuff is on top.
Things get a little dicey here, since different feed formats use
different date attributes (like dc:date or pubDate), but we'll press
on. Drag and drop the Sort module onto the canvas. Connect the Filter
output into the Sort input, and define your Sort rule. I used a "sort
by pubDate descending."
Preview your output
The
Debugger, located in the bottom panel of the Pipes maker, can show you
the current output of any module by simply clicking on that module.
Once your pipe is complete, connect the last one - in this case, the
Sort module - to the Pipe Output module. Select the output module to
view the results of your handiwork in the Debugger, like so:
When
you're satisfied, save your Pipe, and grab the permalink for it to view
the results, and subscribe to the feed or publish it on your site. Pipe
results are also available as JSON, information only you
programmer-types will find exciting.
Now,
after spending just a little time working with Pipes, you'll realize
just how beta it is, and how many more features you want. For example,
one thing I wanted to do for my master feed is prepend the item source
to each headline, like "From Flickr: My cat" for a photograph of my
cat. But, after wrestling with the Foreach modules for a long time, I
surrendered - it doesn't look like a simple operation like that is
possible. Yet. (Already more thanone person has asked for it in the developer forums.)
I know, he died in January, 5th, 2007, and I'm late for my tribute, but I need to do it.
This man changed our lives forever. There are hundreds of more spectacular varieties of instant ramen on
the market at this very moment, but they all owe a great debt to
Momofuku Ando and this very product - a satisfying snack created by a man with noble intentions. Japan considers
instant noodles its greatest contribution to the world. The CD cames just in 5th.
I can live without my noodles, or as we use to say in Portuguese: Miojo.
In my opinion we always have to be open for new theories. This is
what scientists should be doing anyway. All theories about anything
should always be challenged with new verifiable evidence or controlled
experiments. Now, Darwinism is facing a paradigm.
I don't support theories like Intelligent Design. The following text does not express my opinion. I just like to share with you that there are non-religious people who don't accept Darwinism as a fact. And I always like to hear all points of view.
"During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines
such as cosmology, physics, biology, "artificial intelligence" research,
and others have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism's central
tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater
detail.
Yet public TV programs, educational policy statements, and science textbooks
have asserted that Darwin's theory of evolution fully explains the complexity
of living things.
The public has been assured that all known evidence supports
Darwinism and that virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory
to be true.
The scientists on this list dispute the first claim and stand as living
testimony in contradiction to the second. Since Discovery Institute
launched this list in 2001 over 600 scientists have courageously
stepped forward to sign their names. The list is growing and includes
scientists from the US National Academy of Sciences, Russian, Hungarian
and Czech National Academies, as well as from universities such as
Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and others.
A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism
"We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and
natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful
examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."
There is scientific dissent to Darwinism. It deserves to be heard.
"We know intuitively that Darwinism can accomplish some things, but not
others," added Egnor. "The question is what is that boundary? Does the
information content in living things exceed that boundary? Darwinists
have never faced those questions. They've never asked scientifically if
random mutation and natural selection can generate the information
content in living things."
"More scientists than ever before are now standing up and saying that
it is time to rethink Darwin's theory of evolution in light of new
scientific evidence that shows the theory is inadequate," said John
West, associate director of the Center for Science & Culture.
"Darwinists are busy making up holidays to turn Charles Darwin into a
saint, even as the evidence supporting his theory crumbles and more and
more scientific challenges to it emerge."
The list of signatories includes member scientists from National
Academies of Science in Russia, Czech Republic, Hungary, India
(Hindustan), Nigeria, Poland, and the United States. Many of the
signers are professors or researchers at major universities and
international research institutions such as Cambridge University,
Moscow State University, Chitose Institute of Science & Technology
in Japan, Ben-Gurion University in Israel, MIT, The Smithsonian and
Princeton."
AppScout interviews Office's Group Program Manager, Jensen Harris on the subject of Office 2007. Harris reveals that Clippy, the bane of all semi-sentient Office users everywhere, is officially dead. The decision apparently revolved not around the passionate hatred for the unfortunate sprite, but simply out of a desire for UI coherency.
"The lights dim. Roll film. The music starts gently at first--it's Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," possibly, or perhaps Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi." The film is a montage, candid moments from a life caught on film. Young Clippy is being brought home from the hospital, in a box alongside the other paperclips in his litter. Now there's his first head scratch and his first screen tap. Next it's little Clippy looking sleepy. He's had a long day helping out confused Office users. There's the time he rode the paper airplane away from Outlook. Wasn't that exciting? He's such a brave little Office Assistant. Look, there he is with all of his friends. Doesn't he look happy? There's the Albert Einstein looking guy, and the dog, and the wizard. Is that Will Shakespeare? The last scene is a still photo of Clippy standing proudly on his prized piece of notebook paper. The dates "1997-2007" appear, and then simply, the words "Goodbye Clippy." The place is packed. There's not a dry eye in the house. Tux the Linux penguin and Sonic the Hedgehog are seated in the front row, holding hands, bawling their eyes out."
"The Consumerist is running a story about a house burned down by a Dell laptop. '
My 130-year-old former farm house was engulfed in flames, with thick dark smoke pouring out of the windows and roof... Hours later, after investigation the fire marshal investigator took me aside asked me if I had a laptop computer. Yes — I told him I had a Dell Inspiron 1200.' It was determined that the laptop, battery, or cord malfunctioned after its owner left for work, leaving the fire to spread through the entire house. All attempts to contact Dell have failed.
'I have tried to call Dell to at least notify them of my problems, but each time I have called I get transferred into an endless loop of "Joe" or "Alan" all speaking a delectable version of English I presume emanates from Bangalore.
I have been outright hung up on each time I get someone who speaks a reasonable version of English, or sounds like they might be in charge of something. Promises of call backs have gone, of course, unreturned.'"
