Lookee here, it’s the other new Windows Phone-packing Nokia handset. No, not that one, this is the Lumia 710 — you know, the budget phone with the 3.7-inch LCD and those colorful backplates. The Mangoriffic phone appears to have made its way through the FCC, with the ID on the filing matching up with listings on the Finnish phonemaker’s site. Don’t get too excited, however — while this and the product page are certainly enough to get some stateside Nokia fanatics’ blood pumping, the company has given us word that the Lumia is not destined for our shores, sadly — at least not in any official capacity.
Update: We just received word from Nokia that, contrary to earlier information, Lumia devices will in fact be arriving in the States. As far as what those specific products will be, however, the company isn’t quite ready to talk just yet.

It was always ironic to me that Google specializes in search, yet they didn’t offer a search option in Google Reader. The ability to search through feeds was one of those things that many Google Reader users said was needed, and now finally it’s there. If you know you read an article about how to speed up file transfers and you wanted to reference it again, now you can just use the search feature to find it instead of manually going through all of your feeds.
When you’re searching, there are a few different options to narrow your search. A drop-down menu will list all of the options for you. One option is to enter your search query and search through "all items." If you knew that you read that article about speeding up file transfers at a certain site, you could select that you want to search for example, only the "CyberNet News" subscription. Aside from searching through all items, or a specific subscription, you can search through starred items as well as shared items.
Besides the addition of a search box, Google Reader has now learned to count to 1,000! That’s right, your unread feeds will go all the way up to 1,000 now. Another change you’ll notice is that you’re able to hide the side navigation bar. All you have to do is click in the area between the navigation bar and your content (the separator), and it will disappear. To get the navigation bar back, just move your mouse to the left of the content where the navigation bar would be placed, and click the separator once again.
The only major complaint I’ve heard so far and experienced is that as of last night, Google Reader won’t work in Opera. There’s already a discussion going on in the Google Reader Help Group regarding the problem. If you’re using Opera, you’ll notice that it will only display the logo and the toolbar at the top. Hopefully this is something that will be fixed soon…
Thanks for the tip Curtiss and XPGeek!

Tutorial Thursday
There was a topic in our forum started a few months back regarding the User Account Control (UAC) in Windows Vista. The question asked whether there was a way to prevent the UAC prompt on applications you know are safe, and at the time the question was specifically directed towards Joost.
Unfortunately there is no way to tell the UAC to “remember my decision,” but there really should be. The UAC should be smart enough to watch for changes in the file, and if something does get modified it should notify the user.
One of my own peeves is in regards to modifying items in the Start Menu. The Start Menu Programs folder is where a lot of applications install their shortcuts. After I install something I like to cleanup the Start Menu so that there aren’t a ton of folders, and also delete shortcuts that I’ll never need. Vista already lets me modify my own Start Menu items, but modifying items that were installed for all users forces a UAC prompt each time.
The method that I’m about to demonstrate is a workaround I found, and works great for disabling the UAC on specific files or folders. It is important to know that the UAC will be completely disabled for the files or folders you choose to apply this to, so be careful how you use it.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
That’s all there is to it! Now in that example I won’t receive a UAC prompt every time I move or delete an item in my Start Menu, which I do quite often. Being able to do this has saved me a lot of headaches, but I just wish I thought to try it sooner.
This can also be done for applications that you’re having problems with running in Vista. You can just go into the corresponding folder for your program (which is normally located in the Program Files) and add your username to the permissions. That way you’ll never need to run an application as an administrator because it already has full access to its own folder.
You do want to be careful for with what you choose to do this with, because it is essentially disabling the UAC for that specific file or directory. That means a virus or spyware would be able to access those files as easy as if you disabled UAC system-wide, so think twice about what you apply this technique to.
This solution isn’t the type of fix that I would have liked to do, and as stated earlier I would like to see Microsoft address an easier way to prevent files, folders, and applications from constantly displaying a UAC prompt. I’ll cross my fingers and hope that Vista Service Pack 1 brings some welcomed updates to the User Account Control!

If you’ve been concentrating on which Windows Phones are coming out this fall, here’s two more to add to your meditating mind: the Samsung Focus S and its little brother, the Focus Flash, are heading to AT&T on November 6th, according to AT&T’s Facebook page. The Focus S, brandishing its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.4GHz single-core CPU, front-facing cam and 8MP shooter, will be up for grabs at $200; the Flash, meanwhile, can be yours for $50 and still offers the same processor with a smaller 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, front-facing cam and a 5MP rear camera. Get ready, get set…
[Thanks, Neil]

Windows only 
I rely on my Gmail account for just about all of my email communication, and I’d be pretty sad if I lost some of my emails. After all I have emails dating back to the middle of 2004 in my Gmail account, and so it has almost 7-years worth of my email history. Over the years I’ve put a lot of trust into Gmail, but so much of the service is out of my control that I still feel like I need to make backups just in case my Gmail account mysteriously disappears one day.
A free program called IMAPSize is nice because it lets you view a breakdown of all your labels and the space used by each one, but it is also capable of doing incremental backups for specific labels or the entire account. By doing incremental backups only new emails that haven’t already been backed up will be retrieved, and so it should only be the initial run that takes awhile. Each email is downloaded as an individual EML file, which is a standard format used by many email clients. The EML files will keep all the header information intact so that you can still see the original dates and whatnot.
IMAPSize will work with any email service that provides an IMAP interface, but I’m going to focus on Gmail here. After you download IMAPSize you’ll be prompted to add an account, and these are the things you’ll need to enter in the fields:
After that’s done you can proceed with the various configuration options. You’ll find most of the options you’ll need in the Account menu, which includes calculating sizes and performing backups.
Curious what all IMAPSize is capable of? Here’s a rundown of features provided by the developer:

Could the writing have already been on the wall for webOS when former VP of worldwide developer relations Richard Kerris left HP for Nokia this week? While nothing is yet confirmed, The Guardian is now reporting that HP will indeed finally shut down its webOS division, which could affect up to 500 jobs (either through reassignment or layoffs — we’ve previously heard that some layoffs had already begun). That word comes from some unnamed internal HP sources, who reportedly expect an “imminent closure,” with one employee adding that “there’s a 95% chance we all get laid off between now and November.” For its part, HP remained noticeably mum on any news about webOS when it announced that it would hang onto its PC business this week, and its decision to use Windows 8 on tablets certainly didn’t do much to inspire the webOS faithful.
