> Green Revolution in Iran - Support !
Posted by j03x2 - 06-15-09 16:56 - 4 comments


#IranElection

Ahmadinedschad's opponents bypass censorship

After Ahmadinedschad's landslide election (getting twice as many votes as his closest challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi :roll-eyes:), most of the supporters of Mousavi assume voting irregularities.
Mousavi supporters clashed with the police in the last few days... (google for more information)

Although the web is under heavy censorship and the cell phone service was cut off, the young Iranians were able to reach out to the world.
In general, social web is now heavily being used by the representatives of the green revolution.
The social web, websites such as Youtube and Twitter, are now the platform of communication among supporters.

If you want to support the anti-Ahmadinedschad movement, then please go to this site and help to bring down some of Iran's official websites (among those the website of Ajatollah Ali Chamenei)

Also hit the following twitter channel : #IranElection

> FetchMP3: The Review
Posted by bns06 - 06-14-09 22:07 - 7 comments

The average computer user is overly lazy and sick of being told everything they're doing is "illegal", which is almost everything these days. It was also announced recently that one of the most dangerous things to search for was 'free music' with spyware and the like being attatched to the kinda' sites you find with that search, so where am I going with this?

You're lazy, right? Want free music too? And you'd be surprised if you could get an easy, legal solution to these problems? Well, you can...

The ultimate solution to all your problems; FetchMP3

With this great site you don't have to bother with downloading software and putting in unnecessary effort, it's all there on the web with easy access. FetchMP3 allows you to grab the audio from any video on YouTube, MySpace and others, so you practically have the chance to grab any music track you want... legally! Pop onto fetchmp3.com and search for the track you want, so lets confirm what you already know about me and search for a Jesse McCartney song (can't wait for the comments on this one grimace.png).

Type it in like so;

After that simply click 'fetch', from there you get a list of results with filter options for different video sharing websites, here you can preview the videos so you can decide which you want to download, once this is done simply click the convert button. Easy, yeah?

Attached File  2.JPG ( 96.86K ) Number of downloads: 28


When that's done you'll see text appear in the information nar at the bottom saying 'Click to Download' you click that and you're done! On your desktop pops a high quality MP3, incredbily small in size too. Registering for free gives you the chance to get the MP3's in higher quality, up to 128kbs from the standard 64kbps. Not bad for free, ey?

But we're all to lazy for that, obviously! If you have Firefox there's an even easier way to use the service, on the FecthMP3 homepage you may have noticed the link to a Firefox addon (2,820 people a day already have), if not here's the link; link. Once you've downloaded and installed you need to restart firefox, and you're done. So you're listening to a new track on YouTube and can't be bothered to put in the effort to go to FetchMP3 to download? No worries.

You're on YouTube watching Halo by Beyonce, but you want an MP3 for on the go; simple, just click the 'Convert Video to MP3' in the Firefox status bar. Here you get the usual option to preview it as well as options to both, download the video and the MP3. Exactly the same process as usual and you can grab your MP3 within a few seconds.

Attached File  3.JPG ( 165.44K ) Number of downloads: 30


Some of us however are awkard and don't use Firefox and like to use Chrome or IE, or God forbid; Opera. FetchMP3's creator, Andrew realised this and decided to take advantage of a growing market; Twitter. I asked him why he wanted to give Twitter users the chance to use FetchMP3 via it; "Twitter is much more than a social networking platform, we've already seen various unorthodox applications of the brilliant service, we wanted FetchMP3 to have a slice of the ever growing cake"

Twitter can be used on your mobile phone, right? Well you guessed it; so can FecthMP3 with the ability to download the MP3 direct to your phone. You just do the same easy steps as you would normally, sign up for Twitter and follow FecthMP3. Once you've done that simply send a tweet like this '@fetchmp3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBtU8POWZgA' and in under a minute it'll tweet back with a download link, in this case it looked like '@bns06 Download link for: http://tinyurl.com/62awoz is http://tinyurl.com/mwt94z big_smile.png #fetchmp3 #music #mp3' all incredibly easy!

That just about wraps it up for my review today, I hope you enjoyed it and remember to get over to FetchMP3 and grab your free, high quality music!

> Boycott Opera!
Posted by Jared - 06-13-09 03:49 - 15 comments
QUOTE
You may have heard it in the news recently, Microsoft is currently the target of an antitrust lawsuit by the EU for bundling its Internet Explorer web browser as the default browser in Windows. That's right, they're being sued for including their own browser in their own operating system.

Who is behind all of this? Opera Software, makers of the Opera web browser. In December of 2007, Opera pushed the EU to open a case against Microsoft as Opera believed it to be anti-competitive for Microsoft to include its own browser as the default browser within their own OS.

For some unknown reason, instead of combating the lawsuit, Microsoft decided to settle, and on Thursday announced that they would no longer include Internet Explorer in versions of Windows 7 (Microsoft's next operating system) sold in Europe, and would leave it up to OEM builders to decide which browser to install.

Well, things took a turn for the worse today when Opera made a statement saying this was not enough, and have now pushed the EU to pursue with the antitrust case. Opera believes the only reasonable solution is for Microsoft to include a "ballot screen" for users to select which browser to use.

That's enough. And it's time we do something about it.

Today, we are proposing a complete boycott of all Opera software.

This is absolutely nothing more than a company, who can't legitimately gain market share, trying to squeeze their unpopular browser onto Windows systems. Opera is simply upset because their browser is dead last in market share, and has already been surpassed by the recently released Google Chrome browser and Apple's Safari browser for Windows.

Microsoft is entirely within their right to include Internet Explorer as the default browser within their own OS, just like Apple includes their own Safari as the default browser in Mac OS X, and just like Opera Software would be free to include Opera as the default browser in their own OS, should they ever make one.

No company should be forced to include a competitor's product within their own products. This is as ridiculous as suing Coca-Cola to include Pepsi in their cans and bottles, or suing Toyota to use engines manufactured by General Motors in their vehicles.



Please join in the boycott, and remove all Opera products from your computers and devices. Opera needs to learn that this is completely unacceptable, and since they refuse to listen to us, it's time they learn the hard way. If they're disappointed with their current market share, they ain't seen nothing yet.

Please consider these great alternatives to Opera Web Browser:

•Internet Explorer
•Mozilla Firefox
•Google Chrome
•Apple Safari
Use Opera on your mobile device? Here are some fantastic alternatives:

•Skyfire
•Iris
•Bolt
And most importantly, spread the word! Use whatever means necessary to get the word out there, Opera doesn't deserve your business. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and share it on your favorite forums!


Boycott Opera and the EU's decision to on go the antitrust probe on Microsoft!
