Download Your Images From Flickr To Your PC

Posted in: Freeware, Software, Today's Chili

This article was written on November 22, 2006 by CyberNet.

The great thing about Flickr is that they host your photos without costing you a thing in bandwidth or storage costs. That is awesome but a problem arises when you want to get your pictures from there. Sure you could go through and save each one individually but that could take an insanely long time for some people! Flickr has a tool to do that though, right? Nope, they have bulk uploading tools but the last thing they want you to do is waste their bandwidth downloading all of your photos to a PC.

Have no fear…FlickrDown is here! This freeware utility will let you download any user’s images in just a few clicks and they will neatly be stored on your computer. You can choose from certain sets of photos, a few images here and there,  or just check the last box and it will download everything that is available to the public. The program isn’t made to be all fancy but it sure gets the job done and couldn’t be much easier to use.

Motorola Droid 4 exposed to our wandering eyes, comes with LTE in tow?

Posted in: 4G, Android, gingerbread, Google, lte, mobilepostcross, motorola, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw
We were just a tad disappointed when the Motorola Droid 3 came out without Verizon’s signature LTE logo on the back, but a mere three months later the QWERTY slider is back with a new model that should be packing 4G. The images above and below, procured by Droid-Life, show what looks to be a super-slim device with the same slight curves on the corner as the RAZR, and tapered back akin to the Droid Bionic. And, interestingly enough, it appears to be nearly complete, judging by the non-Mr. Blurrycam quality of the images and the tutorial stickers on the screen. Not only does the device appear to offer LTE, it also adds Webtop and should be compatible with the LapDock 100 and 500. Rounding out the tentative specs are a 4-inch display, spacious five-row keyboard (with number row included), 1080p HD video capture, front-facing camera and a non-removable battery. It also comes with Android 2.3.5 installed instead of Ice Cream Sandwich, something which we hope to see remedied soon after launch. Looks like we’re finally close to having a high-end QWERTY option on Verizon’s 4G lineup.

Download IE Tab 1.0.7 Official Release If You Haven’t Already

Posted in: Newly Released, Software, Today's Chili

This article was written on January 12, 2006 by CyberNet.

Download IE Tab 1.0.7 Official Release If You Haven't Already

IE Tab is an extension that I use all of the time, but mostly for eBay. Currently the browser of choice for eBay seems to be Internet Explorer and despite the many people complaining, they don’t seem to be changing. The biggest example is when listing, in Firefox you have to code the HTML yourself but in Internet Explorer you can use a Rich Text Editor. Now we all know that shouldn’t be a hard fix for eBay (after all, GMail did it) but Firefox has been popular for quite some time and nothing has been done to fix it.

Anyways, recently IE Tab 1.0.7 Beta 3 came out of the beta stage and was officially released. I have been using it for a few days now and they seem to have worked out the glitches in the beta. Good work guys…Again!

Grace One City e-motorbike review

Posted in: bike, engadget show, EngadgetShow, review, Today's Chili, video

There comes a time in nearly every person’s life when they need to get up, get out the door and get to work. Some drive, some walk, some take one form of public transportation or another — but a noble few do something different. Those people ride their bikes, holding on to the passion gained in a childhood of racing around the neighborhood on Huffys and Schwinns, skinning knees or elbows when the latest attempt at a sweet jump turned a little sour.

Sure, those people may say they’re saving money or the environment by riding a bike into work, but we all know they do it for fun. As is the case with most wheeled pursuits, the fun factor increases with the speed, and with that idea we welcome to you to the Grace One. It’s a German electric bike that offers more high-tech trappings than your average economy car — a good thing, because it costs nearly as much as one. What does this $6,000 bike offer? Speed. Sweet, effortless speed (up to 25MPH without you burning a single calorie), and we recently had the chance to put one through its paces. Read on to see how we fared.

Nokia’s N9 gets its tap-to-pair on with the Play 360 Bluetooth speaker (video)

Posted in: bluetooth, meego, mobilepostmini, Music, nfc, nokia, speaker, Today's Chili, video

Oh, Meego, we barely knew ye. Yet, the Finnish OS that could continues to shower us with glimpses of what might’ve been… more widespread, that is. At least we have the consolation prize of seeing your host hardware, the N9, effortlessly display its untapped powers of NFC. Shown off here in a demo taken at the just wrapped Nokia World, that tap-to-pair functionality we’d previously seen in HP’s webOS devices and, more recently as ICS’ Android Beam, bridges the blue polycarbonate slab to a Play 360 speaker by a mere gentle swipe. That’s all it takes to send tracks from Nokia’s Music app direct to the Bluetooth peripheral’s curvature continuous form. Like what you see? Then hopefully these tricked out features will make their way to identical twin Lumia’s Mango-fied line. Full video awaits you just after the break.

Richard Kerris moves from HP to Nokia, becomes Global Head of Developer Relations

Posted in: HP, mobilepostcross, nokia, palm, Today's Chili, webos
Well, that certainly didn’t take long. Just a couple of days after leaving HP to “pursue an opportunity outside of the company,” ex-VP of Worldwide Developer Relations for webOS Richard Kerris has now turned up at Nokia, where he’ll be serving as the company’s Global Head of Developer Relations. As you may recall, Kerris only took on the HP job at the beginning of this year, having previously served as Chief Technology Officer at Lucasfilm. He’s also not the first individual to chart this particular course — designer Peter Skillman also left Palm / HP last year to take on a similar gig at Nokia, where he’s since had a hand in the N9 and the company’s new Lumia 800.

Are we going to see Safari in Windows? Nah…

Posted in: Software, Today's Chili

This article was written on January 12, 2007 by CyberNet.

Safari on Windows? There are some thoughts going around the Web that a version of Safari is going to be made for Microsoft Windows. Mary Jo Foley noticed in the Firefox Product Planning Guide (yes, I said Firefox) that there was some “speculation” of Apple releasing a version of Safari for Windows. This is the same guide that we used yesterday in revealing some features that are expected to be in the final release of Firefox 3.

If you looked at the Product Planning Guide that is hyperlinked above you may have been wondering where the Safari information is. Mozilla has actually changed it from saying:

Apple may have Safari on Windows with likely ties to iTunes & .Mac

to:

WebKit may be ported to Windows

Since this is a wiki you can go back and see the original version.

What it has been changed to doesn’t sound like anything special now. Actually, it sounds like what has already been done with the Swift browser. That browser is supposed to use the Safari’s rendering engine so that Web developers can accurately tell whether a website will work okay in Safari. I have used it before and for some reason the results are not the same as what I get in Safari on a Mac.

This begs the question to be asked: should Safari be available for Windows? I’m not so sure that a lot of people would migrate to Safari as their browser of choice, but I have read a lot of people who say that it is the most standard’s compliant browser available on the market. Not only that but I’m sure Apple could do an amazing job of marketing it like they do with all of their products.

Whether Apple would put Safari on Windows is another story. I think it would be a great idea because they would just be “infecting” Windows machines with more of their own products. They already have iTunes for Windows and porting their popular browser over could give Microsoft a real run for their money. Anytime someone installs iTunes they could offer to install the browser which would unleash it into a market that Firefox seems to have a hard time reaching: the casual user. Then if people love iTunes and Safari enough they might think to themselves “why am I not just using a Mac?”

In my opinion, I would love to see Safari come to Windows because the more choices there are for quality Web browser the harder companies like Microsoft will have to work to sustain their market share. I’m sure the person who posted the “announcement” on the Firefox Planning Page just confused Safari with the WebKit, but it sparked a lot of interest that Apple should look into.

HTC Raider 4G LTE available on Rogers today, Bell’s version coming soon

Posted in: 4G, Android, canada, gingerbread, HTC, lte, mobilepostmini, Today's Chili
Now that both Rogers and Bell have alive and kickin’ LTE networks, it’s high time we see a full lineup on them, right? HTC’s doing its part, at least, by offering the Raider 4G LTE (aka Holiday), a device we’ve seen announced in Korea and Australia so far. Curiously, Rogers lists the device as having a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a downtick from its Asian counterpart, though everything else appears to be the same: it offers a 4.5-inch qHD (960 x 540) display, a full gigabyte of RAM, an 8MP rear camera with LED flash and 1080p video capture, a 1.3MP front-facing cam for video chat and runs with Android 2.3.4 and HTC Sense 3.0 installed. Rogers will be the first in Canada to get the phone out the door, since it’s available in stores and online today for $150 with a three-year commitment, whereas Bell has it listed as “coming soon” on its official site with no actual pricing indicated (MobileSyrup says it will likely be sold for $170). If your heart goes pitter-patter for this Raider, go ahead and pick one up — just keep in mind that the lost ark is not included.

Future Nokia phones repellent, says water (video)

Posted in: hands-on, mobilepostcross, nanotechnology, nokia, science, Today's Chili, video, waterproof

Nokia’s latest “super” hydrophobic coating doesn’t take half-measures. This new technology binds a layer of nanotech magic to the surface of its devices that literally bounces liquids away. Although we’ve been told the nanotubes at work here are most effective with water, other liquids (and smudgy fingerprints) should also find the treated surface difficult to latch onto. Due to the thinness of this waterproofing solution, a spokesperson told us here at Nokia World that even the inner workings of a phone could be treated in the same way. No more incidents in the bathroom? Count us in. Check the video after the break for some slo-mo water slippage.
