rovi - the new name for Macrovision

Aka the guys from this letter: web.archive.org/web/20070704073736/http://www.macrovision…

Thanks for the heads up, I was nearly forgetting about all of the damage Macrovision has done so far to the music and video market…

Mac Chromium 4.0.246.0 (31808) - Preferences now offer bookmarks sync

It’s available only in Chromium (for now) and to show up you need to launch with the –enable-sync flag in the Terminal (for now) but Google’s browser fi-nal-ly can sync bookmarks exactly as the Windows version does.

Since Mac Chromium 4.0.224.3 (29991) which was released on 23rd October 2009 it is possible to drag n’ drop urls into the Bookmarks Bar.

The feature is not yet available in the latest Google Chrome for Macintosh, which is 4.0.223.11

p.s. Yes, I downloaded and tried out every build of that day to identify the exact one which has the feature enabled.

080214_wormCNET’s at it again.

They resurrected this image from many years ago: www.flickr.com/photos/nda/37361709/in/set-465146/. It features the old LC/Performa/Quadra 630 (a Macintosh, nonetheless!) to illustrate a news item about a Facebook Trojan on its’ Webware website.

On Flickr I collected a whole set of similar illustrations, called “Macs@CNET”, all featuring Apple computers. See www.flickr.com/photos/nda/sets/465146/

Five things Delicious could (and should) fix

Pubblicato il: 19/10/2009 — Tematiche: Web 2.0, bookmarking, del.icio.us, english, informazioni, segnalazioni

I appreciate and use a lot the social bookmarking features of Delicious but there are some issues which detract from the otherwise great experience of the site.

So here’s a list of pleas suggestions for the Delicious team about some things they could (and should) fix in the next version/revision.

  1. When you click on the “save” button to add a bookmark to your account, Delicious could (and should) also copy the valuable “Notes” field (i.e. the description)
  2. In the same way it could (and should) also copy the tags. In the meantime there’s a nice javascript bookmarklet that does it also adds a via:username tag
  3. Delicious send - Twitter @Disable the global “send” (i.e. sharing) of all bookmarks on Twitter and make it only a per item option.
  4. Also: when sharing on Twitter Delicious could (and should) add automatically the title of the bookmark since the url shared on twitter show up as just a “mistery meat” icio.us with no clue about the content and destination.
  5. In the Network list it would be nice if the apostrophes wouldn’t show up as Html entities
