Google Site Information I've come to terms with the fact that Google is a benevolent Internet overlord, quietly gathering statistics and other information about the sites we visit every day. Well, today I decided to make some of that info mining work for me for a change. So, here's a Google trick that will help you find information on a given webpage, like what pages link to it, similar pages or pages that have the web address listed somewhere on the site. All you need to do is type info:(web site name) into the Google search box. Like this: You won't get any "results", per-say, but you'll have around five options to choose from that will give you extended information on the web address you entered. It's kind of fun, plus it's really handy for web designers and search engine optimizers (SEO). Give it a try today! ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version
Still Lugging Around a Case of CDs? You Don't Need Stacks of Discs... To Listen to Music Inside Your Car! Give Your Car an MP3 UPGRADE! Plays Music Right Through Your Car's Speakers Just Plug It Into Your Car's 3.5mm Jack... And Enjoy ALL of Your Music Collection
All The CDs You Keep in Your Car... Right in Your Pocket Driving around everywhere can get pretty draining... the only thing that keeps any of us sane is listening to our favorite music. But keeping all those CDs together and in the car is a REAL pain. They're supposed to be COMPACT discs... they don't seem very compact to me! Think about those bulky, obnoxious CD booklets. Or even worse, how about those organizers that hang from your visor? With all that weight you can't even get the visor to stay out of your way, and I've even heard some horror stories about CDs flying out.... imagine getting hit with one of those sharp discs! Ouch! What you need is a device gives you the power to keep your music collection neatly organized and ready to go. That device is the CarTunes MP3 Player and you've NEVER seen it at a cheaper price! Heck, you've probably never seen ANY MP3 player at this great of a price! It comes with a flip-out 3.5mm plug that you can pop right into your car's audio input jack. WOW! Playing the music right through your car's speakers, you're going to enjoy your entire library without needing ANY CDs. That's right, no more CDs, no more hassle. You'll have access to hundreds and hundreds of songs right in the palm of your hand. That means you can finally reclaim your glove compartment, your dashboard, your backseats, or wherever else you were stashing your stacks of discs. Big things comes in small packages! 4GB means you'll be able to store up to 1000 songs, which is about 83 CDs worth of music, in a device that easily fits in your hand! And it practically weighs nothing! The familiar USB interface lets you easily transfer music from your PC right to your new favorite MP3 player. An OLED display and play/pause buttons right on the device give you complete control over the tunes you're listening to. Bonus Earbuds!! Yep! Your brand new MP3 player comes with a free set of conveniently sized earbuds that make sure even AFTER you're done driving, you can keep your music with you. With an MP3 player this small, you'll want it practically attached to you at ALL times.. And since it has a clip-on attachment... you can! Wow! Is there anything is DOESN'T do? We have to be honest, there is one thing it doesn't do... it doesn't destroy your bank account. Think of all the MP3 players you've ever seen... iPods, Zunes, whatever... have you ever seen one for as low as $19.97 with FREE US SHIPPING? We didn't think so... and most of them can't be played DIRECTLY through your car's 3.5mm jack, either! http://store.worldstart.com/product/8218 PS - Don't let a deal this great drive off without you. If you keep on the brakes through Friday the price'll drive up to $26.97!
Rachel asks: I went to delete a file the other day and it just deleted the file without asking! Do you know why it would do this? Hi, Rachel! I had that happen to me once and I thought I had lost the file; I about had a heart attack. Somehow your settings got changed (I never did find out how mine did). Here's how to get the right settings back: First, right-click on your Recycle Bin and left-click Properties. Your Recycle Bin Properties box will pop up; it is multi-tabbed; each tab is for each hard drive you have in your computer. There is one tab that is all-inclusive, and that is the Global tab. Click on that. Note: In Windows 7, this tab is labeled General. If you look at the box, you will see Display delete confirmation dialog at the bottom with a box next to it; click on the box to put a check mark in it. Then click on Apply, and then click on OK. And that's it! Next time you delete a file, you can make sure that you want to! Thanks for writing! ~Lori Cline Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Google Offline Maps for Android If an upcoming wilderness trek or urban adventure could place you in a location where a data signal may not be available, a little advance planning–along with the latest version of Google Maps–may help you find your way. A recent update (for Android 2.2 and up) includes a feature which offers the ability to download maps into a mobile device. These maps (up to a 10 mile radius) can then be viewed without a data signal. Also, with GPS enabled, your location and orientation will be displayed (orientation is available if your device is equipped with a compass). However, a data connection will still be necessary for a satellite view, or to get directions. Read the whole tip here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) Back Up Your AutoCorrect Have you invested a lot of time tweaking the AutoCorrect lists in your MS Office programs? Are you looking for a way to back up those lists? Well, the trick is to know what type of file it is you're looking for. The "secret" is to know that AutoCorrect files have an .acl file extension. With that information, you'll need to run a search in Windows for these files. I searched on my system and found several of them in a variety of locations, so you too will need to run a search.

MyRouter - Turn Your PC In To A Wireless Router Did you just get a brand new tablet, smart phone or WiFi connected device (camera, bluray player, etc), but you only have a wired Internet connection?

Made in just 24 hours at Music Hack Day Boston 2011 by @leyink, @han, and @flaneur, Drinkify is an awesome site that pairs what you're listening to with a drink. How does it work? Simple, you just type in the name of a music artist or band, and click the What Should I Drink?button. It will then generate a cocktail to pair with your music selection. For example, I was being cheeky and wanted to see if it would accept musicals, so I typed in The Phantom of the Opera, clicked the button, and it generated "The Andrew Lloyd Webber" which is 1 bottle of Macallan Scotch and 1 bottle of Sweetened lime juice. It then gives directions for how to mix the drink! Want to try again? Well then, just click the Change the Music button, and you'll be whisked back to the main page to enter in a new artist or band. I dare you to find an artist or band that's not on here, because I have put in tons of obscure stuff (like my brother's old band), and it always generates a drink that seems to fit the style of music. ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com OK!
