Get WinRAR For Free…Again!

Posted in: Software, Today's Chili

This article was written on August 04, 2006 by CyberNet.

WinRAR For Free...Again!I guess WinRAR must have felt bad that their servers were so overloaded last Sunday when they were offering their software for free, so they are letting you download it again! The bad part is that they changed the whole process so that you can’t just enter in a URL but this time you have to register.

After registering they will provide you with an email which gives you the link you need to download the registration key. Then you use the key to register WinRAR:

The download contains a RAR archive, including your license key. Please SAVE this archive to your disk. By opening it with double click on it’s icon, WinRAR registers your version automatically and you get the information:

“Correct registration: Thank you for support”.

Hopefully this time their site will stay afloat!

Insert Coin: BoardX is an open-source, modular motherboard for prolific prototypers

Posted in: arduino, diy, open source, opensource, Today's Chili

In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you’d like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” as the subject line.

BoardX

We’re more than a little enamored with Arduino and its DIY microcontroller ilk. But we’ll admit, there are a few limitations that the compulsive prototyper might find bothersome. Chief amongst them is the lack of modularity, Now, sure, you can easily add all sorts of sensors, ports and radios to your Uno (or Duemilanove if you’re old school) but that generally requires piling shield, upon shield, upon shield, until you’ve got a stack of boards three-feet high. And, if you want to use an ARM chip instead of an AVR for a project? Well that’s a whole other set of boards. Kevin Greene has decided to address these perceived “weaknesses” with BoardX — a modular, open-source prototyping platform.

AmtrakConnect free WiFi added to 12 East Coast routes, snack car will still cost ya

Posted in: minipost, Today's Chili, Transportation, wifi
Remember when we noted the existence of AmtrakConnect WiFi on the Adirondack train (number 69) about two weeks ago? Although it wasn’t official at the time, it is now — and it turns out that was just a sliver of what to expect. Amtrak recently announced that the free service is currently available on twelve of its East Coast routes, which should please many a railway commuter accustomed to WiFi deprivation. Eight of those routes (Northeast Regional, Keystone and Empire services, Carolinian, Downeaster, Ethan Allen Express, New Haven – Springfield Shuttle and Vermonter) feature full wireless connectivity from head to caboose, while the others (Adirondack, Maple Leaf, Palmetto and Pennsylvanian) have designated cars that allow for internet access. Factor in its Acela and Northwest Regional lines, and Amtrak says 60 percent of its fleet is now WiFi-capable with more additions due in California before the year’s out. Better yet, “4G speeds” are also in the cards for the future, but we won’t hold our breath waiting for an equally swift rollout. Full press release after the break.

Apple brings GarageBand to iPod touch and iPhone users, because rocking out shouldn’t require a tablet

Posted in: app, Apple, application, AppStore, audio, ipad, ipod, ipod touch, IpodTouch, minipost, Music, now available, NowAvailable, Software, Today's Chili

Lookie here — an iPad app just got miniaturized. It’s not too often we see the progress work in reverse, but one of Apple’s flagship iPad programs has just been converted for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. It doesn’t seem as if too much is changing — outside of the shrunken display options, of course. You can still plug your electric guitar into either of Apple’s more bantam iOS devices in order to record through classic amps and stompbox effects, or record your voice or any acoustic sound using the built-in microphone. The app enables users to record and mix up to eight tracks and then share the finished product with friends or send it to your Mac to keep working on it in GarageBand (the “real one”) or Logic Pro. It’ll run new users $4.99, but if you already purchased the iPad build, it’s a free update to get the new ports. Oh, and if you’re curious, the app now runs on iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch (third and fourth generation). Tap the iTunes link below to snag your own copy.

Google rolls out new look for Gmail: streamlined conversation view, high-res themes, better search

Posted in: Email, Gmail, Google, Today's Chili, video, web

Google gave us a hint of Gmail’s new look with a preview earlier this year, and it’s now finally begun to roll out the real thing. Sometime over the next few days you should see a “switch to the new look” link in the bottom right corner of Gmail which, if clicked, will open up a range of new features and design changes. Those include a streamlined conversation view (complete with profile pictures), three different density settings (plus “elastic density” based on your display), a new batch of high resolution themes, improved search, and a refined navigation panel. Head on past the break for a quick video detailing the changes.

Update: Well, it looks like those “few days” turned into just a few hours. Google’s now confirmed that the new look is available to everyone.

CNET details the death of Microsoft’s Courier and Bill Gates’ ‘allergic reaction’

Posted in: Microsoft, Today's Chili

For those that follow the twists and turns of the technology news business, the Microsoft Courier has practically become the stuff of legend. First leaked on Gizmodo in the fall of 2009, the device was never even officially confirmed by Microsoft until it axed the project in April of last year. And while we wound up learning quite a bit about the dual-screen tablet despite that lack of official information, we never really got the full story of its rise and fall within the company. Now CNET’s Jay Greene has published an extensive look at the device’s short history, which he says was “pieced together through interviews with 18 current and former Microsoft executives, as well as contractors and partners who worked on the project.” The story, as you might expect, is fascinating — read on for some of the details.

LG myTouch, myTouch Q available on T-Mobile November 2nd for $79

Posted in: 4G, available, LG, mobilepostmini, t-mobile, TMobile, Today's Chili

Magenta’s taken to its Facebook wall to announce the availability of its latest LG-made, Android 2.3.4 phones: the 3.8-inch myTouch and 3.5-inch myTouch Q. Word of these handsets’ existence leaked out via YouTube a few months back, but the carrier’s since made both official. The duo will hit T-Mobile’s site on November 2nd, each at a budget-pleasing $79.99 — that’s after a mail-in rebate on a two-year contract. But if you’re the sort to pick up your wares in-store, then expect to see this pair on offer come November 9th. What’ll you get for that sub-$100 price? Well, the devices run along the operator’s 4G HSPA+ network and pack a single-core 1GHz Qualcomm processor, as well as front-facing / 5 megapixel rear cameras. The only thing setting these two apart is your predilection for a landscape QWERTY slider, in which case you’ll want to snag the Q. So, if you’ve been waiting on T-Mo to roll this twosome out of the gate, consider tomorrow your lucky day.
