Inspired by the instructable by Kipkay I thought I’d pick up some of my own batteries of a different brand…And, boy, was I surprised!





Open sesame:



I bought the batteries in a two pack at "ye ‘ol supercenter" for about $1.88 US. After unpacking them, I just used my handy dandy mini lea…

Windows/Mac/Linux (Firefox/Opera/IE): Scan any file for viruses before you download it to your computer with web site Dr.Web. After installing the Firefox extension, performing the Internet Explorer registry hack or adding the Opera tweak, you can scan any directly linked file for viruses through your browser’s right-click context menu (re-directed downloads—like those in Gmail, for example—won’t work). Dr.Web will download the file to their servers, scan it for viruses and report back whether or not it’s clean. Dr.Web is free to use, works with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera.

Music search engine SkreemR turns up a nice selection of MP3 files from all over the web whether you’re looking for Mozart or Justin Timberlake. Pop in your favorite artist, song or album and get back links to MP3s (no other audio file format.) A few search operators to know:

• Use double quotes to pinpoint a set of words, ex. “my favorite song”

• Use + operator to pinpoint particular words, ex. my favorite song +extended +remix
• Use - operator to eliminate unwanted results, ex. my favorite song -live

Grab the Firefox SkreemR search plugin and see some of the top searches. As always, download copyrighted material at your own risk, yadda-yadda, blah-blah.

Webapp Qipit turns a digital photo of a whiteboard, handwritten notes or a typed document into a PDF. Much like previously mentioned ScanR, you can email cameraphone snaps to Qipit, or upload images via email or the web site. Qipit stores up to 100 scanned documents in your account for free, where you can make them public and tag them, too. When you sign up for Qipit, optionally register your cameraphone’s make and model, and the app will tell you what it can do with images from it (whiteboards, hand-written notes and/or printed documents.) My 1.3MP Nokia can do everything but finely-printed documents, as shown.

You don’t have to use a cameraphone, though—you can upload documents via the web site or via email from your regular digital camera. Qipit can also rotate documents once they’ve been uploaded (for the ones you shot landscape.)

Qipit’s concept is a good one, and it groks lower-res photos than ScanR (ScanR requires a 2MP cameraphone at least), but the site is slow and a bit flaky. (One of my uploads never made it, and the app threw an ugly error during testing.) Still, once it stabilizes and speeds up, Qipit will be a nice option for students and professionals who want to capture that whiteboard quickly. Here’s my test cameraphone document scan—not bad!

Basically, Ipods Don’t let you re import the music off of it, they only let you delete it.



For example, If you where to put you’re favorite songs on your Ipod, but then, accidentally delete them all off of your computer. So you sat there in a bad mood and it hit you, My Ipod still has all my music!…

I got tired of looking at the scratches and dents my MacBook suffered every time i tried to take it somewhere without throwing it in my rather large backpack.
