Podcasting
Friday, October 15th, 2004Getting Podcasts on a Portable Media Center (and other Windows Media Devices)
In a continuation of our Podcasting series, for this week�s HOW-TO we look at how to get Podcasts on non-iPod devices. A Podcast is usually an audio program somewhere on the web that can be downloaded automatically to your audio playing device, so you can listen to it wherever and whenever you want. You actually do not need an iPod to publish or receive Podcasts, but the �Pod� name caught on, so many folks have emailed us asking if they can use their Windows Media devices as well as Portable Media Centers. You can and we�ll show you how all using free programs.
Software from Adam Curry:
iPodder is small program that runs on your computer. It’s only purpose is to download audio files, usually mp3’s, directly to your mp3 device. Currently iPod is supported on both Windows and Mac.
And it’s not just for iPods! Other devices are supported through Windows Media Player. Any device that can exchange files with WMP will work with iPodder.
What are Live Bookmarks?
Thursday, October 14th, 2004Live Bookmarks is a new technology in Firefox that lets you view RSS news and blog headlines in the bookmarks toolbar or bookmarks menu. With one glance, quickly see the latest headlines from your favorite sites. Go directly to the articles that interest you — saving you time.
A site is enabled for Live Bookmarks when you see this icon 
on the bottom right corner of the browser. Clicking on the icon and selecting an RSS feed will bring up the Add Bookmark dialog. Select ‘OK’ and you will see Live Bookmarks with the rest of your bookmarks. Many people find it especially convenient to save Live Bookmarks in their Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
GMail as a storage medium
Wednesday, October 13th, 2004GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag’n'drop files to.
In Praise of PayPal
Tuesday, October 12th, 2004Paypal becoming a killer app? Some insomnia-fueled rambling from Matt Haughey:
But then I realized the real reason: I’m lazy. If I want to buy one of your custom shirts off your site using paypal, it’s about three clicks and a quick login that my browser already knows. It goes like this: 1) I want it! 2) hit checkout 3) login and 4) paid! It doesn’t matter if I have money in paypal or if it just gets pulled from my credit card on file, it’s still just a few clicks and I’ll have a shirt in tomorrow’s mail.When I hit a full-on shopping cart payment system, I see forms and forms mean tedious work, and I know I have to dump my credit card into yet another database that I blindly trust won’t get compromised anytime soon, but mostly it’s the work involved that diminishes my impulse buy. Impulse buying is all about respecting the customer’s impulse and not getting in the way of a sale. We’re talking about cool looking $20 t-shirts here, which are pure impulse. No one plans a purchase like that — it’s one of those things you see and instantly want and a minute later you can live without it.
