What we thought might have been an AIR app in the making,
may be something entirely different. With social video sharing sites such as Youtube and Vimeo it can be hard to keep
the recommendations flowing. Hundreds of videos are added to these sites daily, but only a select
few are really worth our time. With no easy way to sort through these uploads, Vimeo is asking
the community for help in finding a solution. Today the site has announced the launch of Vimeo
Toys. These toys aims to give users an interactive and visually appealing way to find more
video content. Here's a look at what's available.
VimeoLand & Pulse
The VimeoLand toy gives a look at recent
happenings on Vimeo. VimeoLand displays an interactive landscape of characters that represent the
latest actions from Vimeo users. Hovering your mouse over a character will display a pop-up
containing one of the following recent actions:
A comment
A like
Recent signup
Recent upload
Each action includes a link to the profile of the user who completed the action and a link to the
video that the action took place on. What's a little random and unique about VimeoLand is an
airplane that flies back and forth above the landscape. Clicking the plane will cause a random
video to be dropped from the plane's cargo. It's pretty nifty. Vimeo fans will find this
particular toy to be very useful and entertaining.
If you're looking for something less flashy with the same notifications we recommend the only
other Vimeo Toy available at the moment: Pulse.
Making Your Own Vimeo Toy
We're interested in seeing what other unique visuals developers will create with Vimeo Toys. To
help developers get started, Vimeo has listed a sample XML file with over 50 activity items to
choose from. Vimeo's team of workers will decide whether or not your toy is worth being featured
on Vimeo. We'd rather see the community take a vote on what stays and what goes.
What we think would really be interesting is to see Vimeo and developers take things to the next
level and allow for a visual graph of what our friends, or a select group of users, are up to on
Vimeo. Nevertheless, we're happy with what we see so far and look forward to see what else is
next.
So I FINALLY got my iphone off of ebay for a decent price, after getting scammed several times.
The guy was nice enough to throw in all his accessories, most of which he never used. So I got the
apple iphone bluetooth headset and the dock and all that stuff, and it actually worked amazingly
well the first day. Everything is in perfect condition, I updated it to 2.0.2 and pwned it with the
newest winpwn.
Anyways, it worked fine the first day, as I said. Now whenever I turn it on, I can hear static even
on the beeps from the headset's own functions. When I'm in calls with it, there is reeeally bad
static and I can barely hear the person at all, and they say they cant hear me. It still shows the
battery meter on the top right and everything.
I searched on the net and it seems like alot of people have had the same problem... I tried all the
fixes I could find, restart the iphone, airplane mode on and off, repair, etc. No dice.
Im just wondering, is there a way to fix this without going to the apple store or trading it in?
This is just annoying, Id like to be able to use this while typing or driving.
The
Eclipse 400 looks is one of those airplanes that you can only imagine in movies or comicbooks. But
this is not the Avenger's Quinjet, it is very real, as the video shows. Right now it's
being perfected and will be delivered to Tony Starks wannabes in just three years. Its four-seat
interior looks more like an expensive sports car than a plane, and it has me saying "want":
A very expensive one: The 330-knots single-engine jet won't come cheap at $1.35 million, so it's
not the skycar we were all hoping for.
Everytime I plug in my FM transmitter into my iPhone, I get the message "This accessory was
not...." And I click "No," to stop it from going into Airplane mode.
Is there a way I can turn off this warning permanently?
My phone is jailbroken, so feel free to tell me if I can find the warning in SSH and turn it off,
too.

Charlie / Explorations: Palin
Rumors — Cripes, this has gotten ridiculous. Folks, look,
let's just run through a list here. (Updated.) — No, the Downs baby (Trig)
isn't Bristol's kid, and no, the kid wasn't born with Downs because (a) Palin flew on an airplane
(b) went home to have the baby after an amniotic leak …
Surely you come across web pages during the workday that are completely unrelated to actual work,
but that you'd love to save for later—and the previously mentioned (and award
winning) Firefox extension ReadItLater does just that really well. Once ReadItLater is part of your
everyday workflow, it's super-easy to park long articles or interesting tidbits you want to look at
over lunch or at home in a "staging area" that's available as an RSS feed, in your regular
bookmarks, and even on other computers. ReadItLater may appear unnecessary to power bookmarkers who
keep a "later" folder or tag, but on closer inspection it does offer features that make hitting the
snooze button on a link much easier. The Killer Feature: One-click Park
Without ReadItLater, to save a web page in your bookmarks in a "read it later" folder or tag,
it takes a couple of steps. (Even with Firefox 3's one-click bookmarking, you still have to tag or
file the link.) With ReadItLater installed, Firefox gets a checkbox in the address bar next to the
regular bookmark star icon. Click on that checkbox to automatically add the current web page to
your ReadItLater list in one click. That's it. Now you can get back to work.
Alternately, if you don't even want to open the tempting link but want to save it for
later, right-click on a link and choose "Read This Link Later" from the context menu.
If you're want to add a bunch of links on a single page to your reading list even more quickly,
then activate "Click to Save" mode (Alt+M by default, or click the ReadItLater icon in the status
bar). When you do, clicking on any link doesn't open it, it adds it to your reading list. This
feature is especially good for shelfing several items of interest you might find on link-heavy
pages like the Digg or Lifehacker front page. Check Your Reading List
Once you've added a few pages to your ReadItLater list, you can click on the ReadItLater dropdown
on the right of Firefox's search box to expand the list of items you've parked there. ReadItLater
conveniently sorts the links by oldest added (by default, you can change this), so you see the
stuff that's been hanging out there the longest at the top. You can quickly filter the list by tag,
page name, site, or URL, too.
See that handy number 10 on the ReadItLater toolbar button? That's the number of unread items you
have. This feature isn't turned on by default, but it's nice to instantly see how many items are in
your reading queue. To turn it on, in ReadItLater's options, under Appearance, check off "Show
number of unread items on the toolbar button," as shown. Read Your Pages
Now that you've built up a reading list, you're eating lunch at your desk and want to do
some personal browsing. Click on any link from that list dropdown to visit a page. All done? Simply
click the ReadItLater checkbox to mark the item as read and immediately take it off your list. If
you want tor permanently save it on your boomarks service of choice, hit the dropdown on that
checkbox and pick your bookmark poison. Syncing Your ReadItLater List
One of the really cool features of ReadItLater is that it automatically saves links to your Firefox
bookmarks in a folder you specify. So if you're already syncing your bookmarks across computers
with the likes of Foxmarks, your reading list
goes to other computers even if you don't have the ReadItLater extension installed on them (but you
don't get its neat interface).
ReadItLater has a syncing mechanism built in, too. You set up an RSS feed of your reading items,
and then log in with your feed ID and a password to get your list on other computers with
ReadItLater installed. Visit ReadItLater's Options dialog, under RSS/Syncing, to set that up. Keyboard Shortcuts and Offline Reading
If clicking around Firefox ain't your bag, baby, ReadItLater has you covered. Customize your
keyboard shortcuts for even faster access to your queue in the Options dialog.
ReadItLater also can save web pages you want to read on an airplane, for instance, to your hard
drive for offline access. From the ReadItLater list dropdown, while you're online, click on the
"Read Offline" link to make ReadItLater save local copies of the pages on your list.
