Hasta La Gadget!

CinemaNow’s movie library is about to get a bit larger and a good deal sharper, thanks to a new deal with Intel. Yesterday, the video on-demand service announced that it’s now offering a slate of 1080p HD movies for the first time, available on PCs packing a second generation Intel Core CPU. According to the company, “several hundred” new releases and other popular films from 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. have already been added to its library, in addition to the 15,000 movies and TV shows already on file. CinemaNow didn’t offer an exact number of titles, nor did it provide names of any specific films, but you can stream through the entire press release for yourself, after the break.

France is getting the Kindle! No, seriously, until now the land of baguettes and Nicolas Sarkozy has had to make do without the world’s most popular ebook reader. Starting today though, our French friends can pre-order a Kindle (no touch and no keyboard) for €99 and have access to over 825,000 titles from the newly launched Kindle store. The first French-language readers from Amazon will start shipping out on October 14th and, if you need some more details, you’ll find the full PR after the break.

Ever since we launched the CyberSearch extension I’ve been getting a ton of emails with recommendations on what I can do to make it better, and alongside those emails are also a few dozen from people who are having troubles trying to install it. What happens to them, and I’ve had this happen to me before, is they are prompted with this warning when trying to install the extension:

Firefox could not install the file at [URL] because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) -261

Believe it or not this has been a known problem for quite some time, and there are a couple of different things you can try to circumvent the problem.

1. Clear your cache. Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network / Offline Storage -> Clear Now and then try reinstalling the extension.
2. Enable third-party cookies. A few commenters (thanks Clark!) have pointed out that enabling third-party cookies in Firefox is also something you should do to get around the error message. To do this go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and check the Accept third-party cookies box.
3. Manually install the extension. The easiest way to do this is to just download the extension in another browser, and then drag the downloaded file into the Firefox window. This should initiate the installation process.
4. Suspend ThreatFire. I’m adding this one to the list because several of our commenters (thanks Sunny!) have pointed out that ThreatFire could be one of the reasons that extensions won’t install. Temporarily suspending ThreatFire should solve the problem.
5. Temporarily disable your antivirus. When all else fails the culprit could be that your antivirus application is preventing the installation of the extension. This is kind of a last resort, and not something that I really recommend doing.

Again, I apologize for those of you having issues installing the extension, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Once we manage to get enough (hopefully positive) reviews of the extension we will be able to get CyberSearch out of the experimental stage. From what I’ve read after that happens the “invalid file hash” errors shouldn’t really happen anymore. So if you’ve got a spare second go drop by the Mozilla site and leave a review for our extension.

Eggdisk may not be a service that you have heard about before but they are offering quite an amazing deal. If you sign-up for a free account before September 1st you will receive 4GB of storage and a 150MB filesize limit instead of the normal 2GB of storage and 100MB filesize limit.

It is obvious from the site that their goal is to make money off of Adsense but you can’t really complain when you don’t have to pay for anything. You’ll also receive 30GB of bandwidth to transfer your files.

You can upload images without even creating an account but once you register you’ll also be able to upload files with the following extensions:

jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, txt, mp3, wav, mov, wma, wmv, rar, zip, tar.gz, swf, xml, xspf, flv, m3u, asf, 7z, rm, esp, avim, flac, ogg, bsp, res, mdl, spr, wad, tga, doc, ppt, wrl, mp4, aac

Unfortunately there is no EXE or PDF support which would probably be some common files that people would upload. Still pretty great even though I couldn’t find any kind of privacy statement…so you might want to be selective at what you upload.

Have you ever thought to yourself that it would be nice to extract ZIP files online so that you can only download the parts that you need? I can’t say that thought ever popped into my head, but Wobzip is showing me just how useful that can be.

So why is an online file extractor so convenient? For starters it can handle quite a few different types of files: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, TAR, BZIP2, RAR, CAB, ARJ, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB, LZH, SPLIT, CHM, ISO.

Wobzip also offers two different modes for specifying a file to extract: from a file on your computer or from an URL. Of course if the file is on your computer it will have to be uploaded first, which seems a bit pointless to me. That’s a lot of extra waiting you’ll have to do depending on the size of the file. The true piece of gold lies within the extraction via URL.

Imagine finding a compressed file on the Internet that only has one file you need. With Wobzip you could give it the URL and have it extract all of the files it contains. It will pump out a listing of every file that has been compressed in it, and gives you the option to download each file individually. For high-speed broadband users there may be little point to this, but anyone still on dial-up will surely appreciate a feature like this. There is no way, for obvious reasons, to download every file at once.

I’ve known about this site for a few days now, and I was going to write about it yesterday except it appeared to be down a majority of the time. I’m not sure if the site being down was a onetime deal, but that may be a good sign that it’s not extremely stable yet. Either way it could come in handy, and has earned a spot in my bookmarks.
