			<title><![CDATA[ Gmail Labs Adds Multiple Inboxes [Gmail Labs] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/multiple-inboxes_01.png" width="800" height="403" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GMAIL LABS" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/gmail-labs/"&gt;Gmail Labs&lt;/a&gt; adds a new Multiple Inboxes feature today that allows you to keep an eye on multiple buckets at once while you're viewing your inbox.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just head to the &lt;a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/labs"&gt;Labs tab in your Gmail account&lt;/a&gt; to enable the new feature. Once enabled, you'll get a new &lt;a href="http://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/lighttlist"&gt;Multiple inboxes tab&lt;/a&gt; in your Gmail settings. From there, you can choose up to five different panes to display to the right of your Gmail inbox, above your inbox, or below it. For label and filter junkies, the Multiple Inboxes feature is a must. When setting up your multiple inboxes, you can use any of &lt;a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=7190"&gt;Gmail's supported search operators&lt;/a&gt; to create any sort of search you want. For example, good choices for your multiple inboxes might include searches like:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;is:starred&lt;br&gt; is:unread&lt;br&gt; has:attachment&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let's hear which labels or search operators you're keeping an eye on in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-in-labs-multiple-inboxes.html"&gt;New in Labs: Multiple Inboxes&lt;/a&gt; [Official Gmail Blog]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Losing Weight the Flexitarian Way (No Wheatgrass Required) [Dieting] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/wii_fit_normal.jpg" width="504" height="230" style="display:block;" /&gt;I've dropped about 10 pounds so far, and a little more falls off every day. The fix hasn't been running, lifting, or anything trendy&amp;mdash;I'm just eating less meat, and enjoying what I eat more.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What I'm doing isn't exactly new or original. You could call it &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexitarianism"&gt;flexitarianism&lt;/a&gt;, or a more regimented form of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-vegetarianism"&gt;semi-vegetarianism&lt;/a&gt;. You could accuse me of jumping all over the latest thing foodie guru Mark Bittman said or wrote, and, given how often he shows up in my food-focused posts, you'd have good reason to bust out the fanboy flag.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However I came to it, I'm avoiding meat for all but one meal of the day. This plan has worked where a lot of other plans and diets haven't.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/burger_baby_01.jpg" width="250" height="184" class="right" align="right"&gt;First, a quick step back. I carried, in December, about 205 pounds on my 6-foot-1-inch frame. By all accounts, I've got a lucky metabolism, but I also love food&amp;mdash;all of it, everywhere, in any amount&amp;mdash;and dark, regional beers. And I've spent most of my career sitting down to write or edit words. So an excess of physique-softening, energy-reducing weight gradually accumulated on me, and it was defeating to think about. I'd read most of Michael Pollan's popular eat-better-or-else books, and my family history is full of diabetes and obesity. Still, fast food drive-thru visits were written off with excuses about a tight schedule, vegetables were given the same respect as salt packets, and my sedendary life left me feeling pretty unfit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most diets seem to be based around broad concepts (Don't eat carbohydrates!), ridiculously strict regiments (any crash diet focused on one type of food), or lists of "good" and "bad" foods so varied and long that scanning a restaurant menu feels like a course in advanced database queries (next stop: South Beach).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/food_matters_01.png" width="210" height="223"&gt;The diet suggested, or at least discussed at length, in Mark Bittman's new book, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1416575642/ref=nosim/gizmodo-20"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, is simple, and centered around a rule a four-year-old can understand: Don't eat meat before dinner. It might sound like sacrilege to those who truly relish a good meal, or foolishly restrictive to anyone raised on bacon with their breakfast, meat in their sandwiches, and a dinner plate with starch, vegetable, and entree. But for this Lifehacker editor, it's an easily-defined, sensible challenge, and one that's paying off the more I rise to it. It doesn't punish you for dreaming of applewood-smoked pork ribs, it shouldn't turn you into a waiter's worst nightmare, and it makes it harder for you to overeat.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bittman's diet suggestions stem from a wider-focused concern about the earth's ecology, the food production demands of our modern diet, and other pressing topics of the day. If vegan, organic, or locally-sourced foods are what you're into, a daytime vegetarian diet can certainly accommodate. But the weight loss that's worked for me and the New York Times food writer is more due to how scaling back on meat&amp;mdash;dense with calories, a great hider of fat, and easily eaten too quickly&amp;mdash;tricks you into consuming less. It almost goes without saying that avoiding the processed, mass-produced meats in burgers, re-heated chain restaurant meals, and packaged entrees is better for you in any situation. But avoiding \any kind of meat forces you, or at least me, to get creative with your daytime diet, and makes the evening meal something you really want to enjoy, not just scarf down.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here's how I've made a flexitarian/daytime-vegetarian/Bittmanist diet work for me as a day-to-day reality:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/antipasto_pizza.jpg" width="200" height="150" class="right" align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Broaden your food base:&lt;/strong&gt; Hide these from your friends with the "Meat is murder&amp;mdash;tasty, delicious murder" T-shirts, if you must, but there are tons of great cookbooks, websites, and idea wells to grab meat-less meals or snacks from. The &lt;a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/tags/recipes/Meat%20Lite"&gt;Meat Lite recipe series&lt;/a&gt; from the foodie blog &lt;a href="http://seriouseats.com"&gt;Serious Eats&lt;/a&gt;, and a cookbook from the authors of that series, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1580089615/ref=nosim/gizmodo-20"&gt;Almost Meatless&lt;/a&gt;, are just what they sound like&amp;mdash;scaled-back quantities of meat that use it for good flavor. Sites like &lt;a href="http://vegkitchen.com"&gt;VegKitchen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://101cookbooks.com"&gt;101 Cookbooks&lt;/a&gt;, and others have creative takes on meals that work great at breakfast, mid-day, or dinner. My personal source for endless inspiration? Asian cookbooks&amp;mdash;any cuisine, any recipe. You can swap in tofu, if you dig it, or beans, fresh vegetables, or pretty much anything for most dishes, and you'll find a few that work great with any ingredients.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't get held hostage at restaurants:&lt;/strong&gt; If you're sitting down for breakfast or lunch and the vegetarian offerings are unappealing, consider getting a salad and an appetizer, two appetizers, two salads, or asking the waiter for a plate with a few of the menu's appealing sides. Last resort? Ask the waiter (gasp!) if the chef recommends any vegetarian substitutions. In a lot of cases, you'll pay less than if you grabbed a full-fledged meal, and if you end up eating less, well ...&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Re-think your hunger:&lt;/strong&gt; As Bittman notes in &lt;em&gt;Food Matters&lt;/em&gt;, most of us can't (or, at least, don't) have sex every single time we think about it&amp;mdash;we'll wait for you to finish up whatever wisecrack you got going with there. But hunger, real or routine, is something many of us satisfy with an unnatural level of urgency. You can fight off some of those pangs with a slow, steady stream of healthier stuff, like popcorn, almonds, or snacks that don't come in thin foil, but it's easier to engage in something, anything time-consuming when your body feels hungry and you can't remind it that dinner's only an hour away. There's a reason critics always swipe at artists by referring to the work of their "young and hungry" days&amp;mdash;being a little hungry is far from a bad thing.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/korean_bacon.jpg" width="300" height="197" class="right" align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's a guideline, not a religion:&lt;/strong&gt; Your buddy's in town, and wants to meet at Texas Jack's House of Steak for lunch. Go for it, try to eat just a reasonable amount&amp;mdash;about the size of a &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5127225/eat-meat-in-deck+of+cards-portions-for-a-healthier-earth"&gt;deck of cards&lt;/a&gt;, and switch to vegetarian fare for dinner. But your spouse planned a great chicken dish! Okay, eat a healthy amount of that too, tell her you're stuffed from lunch, and eat as many veggies as you can. This plan isn't about quick results, or proudly waving a trendy diet flag in everyone's face. Eat as realistically vegetarian as you can in the day, eat small amounts of (really good!) meat at night, and you'll eventually adapt to eating smaller portions. You could eat nothing but Snickers bars all day and technically be eating vegetarian, but that's not the point&amp;mdash;use your meatless day to inspire your diet, not constrain it.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;em&gt;Photo by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moriza/112339681/"&gt;moriza&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is, of course, just one man's plan for losing weight, and anyone picking it up has to do a bit of research into what kind of meat-less meals are nutritious and relatively painless to cook and eat. It should be accompanied with real exercise; I'm just putting it off that part until spring because, well, it's 12 degrees here on days like today. And results will vary, based on a lot of factors. But feeling good about what you're putting in your body, and having a simple rule to manage it all, has worked out great so far.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anybody in the crowd made a switch to lower-meat diets? Got any suggestions for staving off hunger and replacing those big hunks o' flesh? Gather 'round the kitchen and offer some tips in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

We want to hear which bit Lifehacker exclusive code is the best. Many of you are long-standing readers who have seen each chunk of code published as it occurred; for those who haven't, we took the liberty of rounding up the following list. Entries are sorted from the oldest addition to the newest additions, with exception for code that was updated such as the Better Gmail 2 Firefox extension. &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/149252/invisibility-cloak-update"&gt;Invisibility Cloak&lt;/a&gt; (Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/232375/lifehacker-code--about-this-site-add+on-firefox"&gt;About This Site&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/240522/lifehacker-code--the-ly-detector-greasemonkey-user-script"&gt;Ly Detector&lt;/a&gt; (Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/238306/lifehacker-code-texter-windows"&gt;Texter&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/241245/lifehacker-code--clipboard2phone-windows"&gt;Clipboard2Phone&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/242811/lifehacker-code-supercharged-gmailthis-bookmarklet"&gt;Supercharged GmailThis&lt;/a&gt; (Bookmarklet)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/245774/lifehacker-code-dropcloth-windows"&gt;Dropcloth&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/252008/lh-code-gmail-date-search-greasemonkey-user-script"&gt;Gmail Date Search&lt;/a&gt; (Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/255055/lifehacker-code-swept-away-windows"&gt;Swept Away&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/257609/navigate-backward-and-forward-with-rocker"&gt;Rocker&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/259456/invert-web-page-colors-with-the-darken-bookmarklet"&gt;Darken&lt;/a&gt; (Bookmarklet)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/260074/enhance-google-calendar-with-the-better-gcal-firefox-extension"&gt;Better GCal&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/260445/automate-timed-mouse-clicks-with-clickwhen"&gt;ClickWhen&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/262020/trick-out-google-reader-with-better-greader"&gt;Better GReader&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension) &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/263985/upgrade-flickr-with-the-better-flickr-firefox-extension"&gt;Better FLickr&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/288443/clean-out-old-files-with-the-windows-janitor-script"&gt;Windows Janitor Script&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/319925/better-youtube-firefox-extension"&gt;Better YouTube&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/320618/better-gmail-2-firefox-extension-for-new-gmail"&gt;Better Gmail 2&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/341950/belvedere-automates-your-self+cleaning-pc"&gt;Belvedere&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/355281/dvd-rip-automates-one+click-dvd-ripping"&gt;DVD Rip&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/355580/mimic-vistas-file-rename-feature-in-xp"&gt;Vista's File Rename in XP&lt;/a&gt; (Windows)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/391810/google-inline-mp3-player-user-script-streams-linked-mp3s"&gt;Google Inline MP3 Player &lt;/a&gt;(Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/393844/always-show-gmails-cc-field-user-script"&gt;Always Show Gmail's CC:Field&lt;/a&gt; (Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/396518/the-browser-stopwatch-speed+tests-page-load"&gt;Browser Stopwatch&lt;/a&gt; (Java) &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/397409/better-lifehacker-firefox-extension-enhances-this-site-and-its-siblings"&gt;Better Lifehacker&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/397946/better-amazon-firefox-extension-upgrades-amazoncom"&gt;Better Amazon&lt;/a&gt; (Firefox extension)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5060791/always-show-the-subject-line-when-composing-a-gmail-reply"&gt;Always Show Subject Line When Composing GMail Reply&lt;/a&gt; (Greasemonkey script)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now that you've had a chance to peruse the list, it's time to review the rules of the Hive Five vote: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;code&gt;VOTE: Favorite Lh Code Goes Here.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; About the Hive Five: &lt;/em&gt;The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5143477/five-best-system-tray-applications"&gt;Hive Five Best System Tray Applications&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Get $30 Off Eye-Fi Wireless-Upload Memory Cards from Evernote [Dealhacker] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/evernote-eye-fi.png" width="504" height="136" style="display:block;" /&gt;We've had &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/stuff-we-like/add-wireless-sync-to-your-camera-with-eye+fi-317771.php"&gt;great things to say about Eye-Fi&lt;/a&gt; in the past, and now that the wireless photo uploading tool has &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5106529/evernote-teams-up-with-eye+fi-for-wireless-photo-uploads"&gt;teamed up with Evernote&lt;/a&gt;, they're offering a $30 discount on the Eye-Fi for Evernote users.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I've been a happy Eye-Fi user for well over a year now (it's great for &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/363311/effortlessly-document-your-party-with-simple-photo-projects"&gt;fun party projects&lt;/a&gt;), and I'm also a big proponent of &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5041631/expand-your-brain-with-evernote"&gt;using Evernote to expand your brain&lt;/a&gt;, so I was thrilled when the two &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5106529/evernote-teams-up-with-eye+fi-for-wireless-photo-uploads"&gt;joined forces&lt;/a&gt;. If you've been interested in either tool, the Evernote deal is a great way to get them working together without giving up too much cash. Granted, a quick &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=br_ss_hs/002-6940686-1537663?field-keywords=eye-fi&amp;platform=gurupa&amp;url=index%3Dblended"&gt;Amazon search&lt;/a&gt; puts the Eye-Fi cards at almost the same price point, so it's not really &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; impressive of a deal (the Eye-Fi Share&amp;mdash;which is the version that I own&amp;mdash;has dropped from $100 to $60 from Evernote, $66 from Amazon). Still, whichever route you go, the Eye-Fi is an excellent tool worth another mention.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eye.fi/evernote/"&gt;Evernote and Eye-Fi&lt;/a&gt; [Eye-Fi via &lt;a href="http://blog.evernote.com/2009/02/05/eye-fi-discount/"&gt;Evernote&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ PlayOn Streams Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and More to Your Xbox 360 and PS3 [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/playon_01.png" width="504" height="289" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5069505/playon-adds-hulu-and-others-to-your-xbox-360-ps3"&gt;Previously mentioned&lt;/a&gt; Windows utility PlayOn&amp;mdash;which streams popular online video to your PS3, &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged XBOX 360" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/xbox-360/"&gt;Xbox 360&lt;/a&gt;, and HP MediaSmart TV&amp;mdash;has officially left its beta phase in the dust.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When we &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5069505/playon-adds-hulu-and-others-to-your-xbox-360-ps3"&gt;first featured PlayOn&lt;/a&gt;, users reported occasional bugginess on their devices (and we experienced the same). From what we can tell from the full release, those bugs should be worked out and PlayOn should be a big win for anyone desperate to add these streaming services to their home theater. The biggest downside: A PlayOn license will set you back a whopping $30. It's available for a 14-day trial if you need convinced that it's worth your money.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Know of a better&amp;mdash;or freer&amp;mdash;alternative to achieve the same results? Let's hear it in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.themediamall.com/playon"&gt;PlayOn&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://www.geektonic.com/2009/02/playon-released-from-beta-netflix-hulu.html"&gt;GeekTonic&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Reclaim Your Airline Seat Space with a Water Bottle [Jerkhacker] ]]></title>

The suggestions don't end there, but the water-bottle trick is by far the most clever suggestion for a desperate situation. It's not the neighborliest thing to do, and the post is written a bit tongue-in-cheek, but you also get the impression that Logan is serious about getting things done on his flights.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/angus_logan/archive/2009/02/04/last-4769-mile-innovation-approaches-to-in-plane-productivity.aspx"&gt;Last 4769 mile innovation : approaches to in-plane productivity&lt;/a&gt; [Angus Logan's Blog via &lt;a href="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2009/02/05/use_a_water_bottle_to_stop_the_next_plane_seat_reclining.html"&gt;Lifehacker AU&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Fences1.png" width="504" height="244" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: Desktop icon organizer Fences arranges your cluttered desktop icons into containers so you can clean up the mess into useful groups of shortcuts&amp;mdash;or optionally hides them altogether.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once installed, Fences will run through a couple of first-time beginner screens asking if you'd like to use one of the built-in layouts, and will attempt to auto-detect which icons should be placed inside each fence. You can modify any of the fences by simply moving or resizing them around the screen, and then use the Lock item on the desktop context menu to fix them into place when you are done.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The thumbnail on the left shows my cluttered test desktop before, and the one on the right shows the default organizer layout generated by Fences&amp;mdash;much cleaner.&lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Fences2.png" class="center" width="611" height="193" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; Right-clicking on the desktop gives you a couple of new options, including quick and easy access to the settings panel, where you can tweak the look &amp; feel as much as you'd like.&lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Fences3.png" class="center" width="730" height="583" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; The best feature is the ability to double-click on the desktop to toggle visibility of the icons&amp;mdash;but you can optionally exclude certain fences, a very useful feature for hiding clutter while keeping application launching icons visible all the time.&lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Fences4.png" class="center" width="731" height="582" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; After only a few hours of using this application, it's already a must-have for keeping my desktop clean and organized. If you aren't worried about eye-candy and just want to organize your icons, check out &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/397707/iconoid-manages-your-desktop-icons"&gt;previously mentioned Iconoid&lt;/a&gt;, or you can &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/396825/toggle-desktop-clutter-with-a-keyboard-shortcut"&gt;hide your desktop icons with a keyboard shortcut&lt;/a&gt; instead.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fences is a free download, works on Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 or Vista in both 32-bit or 64-bit versions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/"&gt;Fences&lt;/a&gt; [Stardock]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Get HP's Dark-Themed Mini Look on Your Ubuntu Desktop [Featured Desktop] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/hp_mie_splash.png" width="504" height="250" style="display:block;" /&gt;HP has an Ubuntu-based netbook, the &lt;a href="http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/mini1000/hpmini1000_mie.html#gallery"&gt;Mini 1000 Mi Edition&lt;/a&gt;, that brings a whole new look to Linux laptops. Luckily, regular ol' Ubuntu users can put some of the Mini's black-and-blue looks on their desktop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unless you're rocking a netbook compiled for LPIA (Low Power on Intel Architecture), you can't get the slick looks of HP's custom launcher or other hardware-specific tools. But since everything's based on Ubuntu 8.04, any updated Ubuntu user can grab the basic theme, colors, and backgrounds from HP's remix.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6680821&amp;postcount=17"&gt;described by an Ubuntu Forums poster&lt;/a&gt;, those keen on a dark theme can head to &lt;a href="http://hpmini.archive.canonical.com/mie/dists/hardy-hpmini/universe/binary-lpia/"&gt;the universe section of the Hardy-HPMini site&lt;/a&gt;, and grab three pre-compiled packages: &lt;code&gt;glassy-bleu-browser-skin_0.5_all.deb&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;glassy-bleu-theme_21_all.deb&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;gnome-backgrounds-hp_0.4_all.deb&lt;/code&gt; (or the updated versions of those packages). Download, double-click to run the package manager on them, and open the Appearance tool to change your theme and background. Your next launch of Firefox will bring up a new theme installed, which you can select to mesh with your new black and blue theme.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here's a shot of the theme in action; click for the full 1680-wide view:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/whole_desktop.png" rel="lytebox" class="ppImgCont2" style="background-image: url('http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/2009/02/custom_1233863177714_whole_desktop.png');width: 804px; height: 503px;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; If you've found any other parts of the HP Mini theme that work for standard desktops, let us know in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6680821&amp;postcount=17"&gt;HP Mie interface download&lt;/a&gt; [Ubuntu Forums via &lt;a href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/02/04/hp-releases-netbook-interface-for-ubuntu/"&gt;Download Squad&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/2009-02-05_141030.png" width="788" height="377" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;Web-based application i like b-sides takes a peek at your uploaded iTunes library and, based on your listening habits and collection, suggests new tracks to check out.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To use i like b-sides (their non-capitalization, not ours), browse your computer to find the XML file that contains your iTunes database&amp;mdash;and consequently all of your music information, most frequently played songs, rated songs, etc.&amp;mdash;zip it up and upload it on the webapp's main page. Once you've uploaded your musical fingerprint, i like b-sides analyzes your library and suggests new music that you may be unaware of, as well as songs in your collection that you may have overlooked. It's basically a more automated way of &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/352365/find-lost-music-in-your-itunes-library"&gt;building a "lost songs" playlist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The site suggests a few dozen songs at a time, with audio previews and purchase links for the iTunes store and Amazon. If the suggestions seem a bit off, you can always hit the shuffle button and get a whole new list of suggestions. For more ways to discover new music, check out our feature on &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/343095/download-and-listen-to-free-music-on-the-web"&gt;downloading and listening to free music on the web&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ilikebsides.com/"&gt;i like b-sides&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10156013-2.html?part=rss"&gt;Webware&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

If this concept seems familiar to you, it's because we've featured many of these applications before. Previously mentioned apps like &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/389619/drivespacio-finds-whats-filling-up-your-hard-drive"&gt;DriveSpacio&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/"&gt;Windirstat&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5146605/free-disk-analyzer-finds-the-largest-space+wasting-files"&gt;Free Disk Analyzer&lt;/a&gt; all do the same thing with slightly different interfaces: help you &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/disk-space/geek-to-live--visualize-your-hard-drive-usage-219058.php"&gt;visualize your hard drive usage&lt;/a&gt;. This application is lightweight and contained in a single executable file, making it worth a look as another addition to your flash drive toolkit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;SpaceMonger 1.4 is a free download for Windows only. The latest version isn't free, but you can still download the freeware version from their downloads page. &lt;em&gt;Thanks, &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/people/nikcoley/"&gt;Nik Coley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php"&gt;SpaceMonger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ FICO Credit Score Calculations Change Today [Credit Report] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/credit-repair.png" width="305" height="290" /&gt;In the current economic downturn, the last thing you want to see is your credit score go to hell. Today, a new system for determining your credit score has rolled out, and here are the highlights.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photo by &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/thetruthabout/2720239113/"&gt;TheTruthAbout...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The new FICO system&amp;mdash;called FICO 08 (apparently it was meant to debut last year)&amp;mdash;has tweaked many factors, hoping to distinguish between consumers who've made an isolated mistake and those with habitual credit troubles. Our friends over at Consumerist have covered the highlights:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Debts less than $100 that go to collections will matter less.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They will look at the total picture more. A single repossession, for instance, won't matter as much if everything else looks good.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Head over to Consumerist for a closer look at four other ways the scoring has changed, then let's hear how you feel about those changes in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://consumerist.com/5146660/6-ways-your-credit-score-changes-thursday"&gt;6 Ways Your Credit Score Changes Thursday&lt;/a&gt; [Consumerist]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/2009-02-05_124214.png" width="504" height="381" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: Hailing from the camp of "do one thing exceedingly well"," Batch Image Resizer is a small utility for speedily batch processing your image files.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bulk Image Resizer supports popular image formats like JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF among others without any limitation on file size. The documentation for the program describes the resizing method as a "high quality distortion-less image resizing." While "high quality" isn't exactly a scientific measure, during testing, our resizing results were comparable to other resizing applications, and reasonable upscaling had good results. If you have a multi-core processor, the application is optimized to use it for speedier processing. One small but handy feature is the ability to pull source images from multiple directories at once, rather than demanding a folder-by-folder run. Batch Image Resizer is freeware, Windows only.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mariussoft.com/products.aspx?Product=BulkImageResizer"&gt;Bulk Image Resizer&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://freewarehome.com/index.html?http%3A//freewarehome.com/Graphics/Graphic_Manipulation/Image_Resizing_t.html%231162"&gt;Freeware Home&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

Well, the same holds true for your location-aware computer, and Apple appears to be taking its first step with &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged SNOW LEOPARD" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/snow-leopard/"&gt;Snow Leopard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;According to AppleInsider, developers who've been playing around with early builds of Snow Leopard report that OS X 10.6 includes the same CoreLocation framework that the iPhone used to triangulate your location using surrounding Wi-Fi networks. As Gizmodo points out:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Given that CoreLocation requires no special, costly hardware, I say why not? It's sad that, even from my couch, I close my notebook to use my iPhone whenever I want to look up directions.&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Agreed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/05/apples_snow_leopard_to_include_location_multi_touch_tools.html"&gt;Apple's Snow Leopard to include location, multi-touch tools&lt;/a&gt; [AppleInsider via &lt;a href="http://i.gizmodo.com/5146968/snow-leopard-to-triangulate-a-computers-location"&gt;Gizmodo&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Screen2Exe Saves Screencasts to Executable Files [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Screen2exe1.png" width="504" height="323" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: Screen capture utility Screen2exe records video of your desktop and outputs an executable file that runs anywhere, free of codec requirements&amp;mdash;useful for carrying on a flash drive.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If this idea sounds familiar, you're probably remembering &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/399453/makeinstantplayer-converts-videos-to-executables"&gt;previously mentioned MakeInstantPlayer&lt;/a&gt;, an app that converts any video file to an EXE&amp;mdash;it doesn't actually help you &lt;em&gt;make&lt;/em&gt; any screencasts, though. Creating videos is a simple, wizard-driven process that walks you through a number of steps: First, you draw a rectangle around the section on the desktop that you want to focus on; next you record your video; finally, you hit the F10 key to stop the recording. Sounds simple enough, right?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you've created your video, you'll be taken to the Edit screen, where you can first optimize the video by removing unnecessary frames, and then use standard annotation tools to add images or text to your video.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Screen2exe2.png" class="center" width="673" height="510" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; Once you've perfected your video, you can choose the output quality (best is much better) and give it a title and filename. You'll want to use the Save Now button to save&amp;mdash;not the Finish button.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Screen2exe3.png" class="center" width="672" height="514" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; At this point you have an executable file which can be dropped onto a flash drive and played wherever you want.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br clear="all"&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/Screen2exe5.png" class="center" width="598" height="433" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; While Screen2Exe doesn't have all the features of a commercial suite or the easy upload and embedding of &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/279768/take-and-share-screenshots-and-screencasts-with-jing-project"&gt;previously mentioned&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.jingproject.com/"&gt;Jing&lt;/a&gt;, it could come in handy if you want to share a screen demo or record a few helpful training videos for mom. Screen2exe is a free download, Windows only.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.screen-record.com/screen2exe.htm"&gt;Screen2exe&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/screen2exe-free-instant-screen-video-capture-recorder/"&gt;Addictive Tips&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

It's a tip backed up by both &lt;a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/400040/butter_will_keep_mold_off_of_cheese.html"&gt;recent how-to articles&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=_XQEAAAAYAAJ&amp;pg=PA356&amp;lpg=PA356&amp;dq=use+butter+preserve+cheese&amp;source=web&amp;ots=FjOoqQpixN&amp;sig=Z-XPdC6hMc4RUuEBU0cfC6dXh_g&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=MgyLSdCTJpWksAPj0tmoBQ&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ct=result"&gt;really, really old cookbooks&lt;/a&gt;. If you don't like the idea of plebian butter infecting the taste of your aristocratic cheese choices, simply shave off the borders of your block before serving.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Got your own advice for keeping the expensive &lt;em&gt;fromage&lt;/em&gt; fresh?

That likely means extension support will arrive before then, or at least at the same time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now we'll see if extension support could &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5052460/is-google-chrome-with-extensions-your-tipping-point"&gt;really get users to switch&lt;/a&gt;. Oh, and whether Mac or Linux versions launch before, simultaneously with, or in the never-ending "soon" after the extension features come out. &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nick.pro/2009/02/04/google-chrome-extensions-coming-out-by-may/"&gt;Google Chrome Extensions Coming Out by May!

			<title><![CDATA[ Add Subtitles to Any Movie or Television Show [Subtitles] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/2009-02-05_093227.jpg" height="225" width="300" /&gt;Windows only: If you've wanted to put the subtitles for a video directly into its own file for maximum compatibility across players and platforms, VirtualDub and VobSub will help you merge the two.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photo by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76074333@N00/318034222/"&gt;WorldIslandInfo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why would you want to embed your subtitles, when almost all popular media players&amp;mdash;like the ever-useful &lt;a href="http://videolan.org/vlc"&gt;VLC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash;will load subtitles along with the master video file? Smaller media devices like the iPhone and PSP won't recognize subtitles, and burning your subtitles to a disc for playback in DVD players is an absolute crap shoot of compatibility. If the subtitles are part of the video file itself, they can be displayed on any device that can display the video.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Simon at technology blog MakeUseOf has put together a step-by-step tutorial on using the free programs VirtualDub and VobSub to embed subtitles into video files. If you don't already have the screen text for your video, make sure to check out &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5128327/sublight-helps-you-find-and-download-subtitles"&gt;Sublight&lt;/a&gt; (Windows) and &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/400681/subdownloader-grabs-subtitles-for-all-your-movies"&gt;Subdownloader&lt;/a&gt; (cross platform), which we've recommended for searching and matching subtitles. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;VobSub uses the VirtualDub engine the same way as the previously reviewed &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5040204/divxland-media-subtitler-embeds-subtitles-into-movie-files"&gt;DiVXLand Media Subtitler&lt;/a&gt;, although the interface on VobSub is slightly more user friendly. The entire process outlined below involves a re-encode of the video file and is quite CPU intensive, so expect the process to be nearly real time&amp;mdash;a two hour movie takes roughly two hours to embed with subtitles. Hit the link below for the full native subtitle lesson. &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-add-subtitles-to-a-movie-or-television-series/"&gt;How to Add Subtitles to a Movie or Television Series&lt;/a&gt; [MakeUseOf]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Foxmarks Bookmark Syncing Available for IE, Safari [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks_ie_splash.png" width="504" height="215" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows/Mac: Foxmarks, our favorite way to keep Firefox bookmarks synced across computers, is now offered for &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged INTERNET EXPLORER" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/internet-explorer/"&gt;Internet Explorer&lt;/a&gt; and Safari, giving anyone with multiple computers or browsers a pain-free way to keep it all together.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Foxmarks offers basically the same type of background bookmark-syncing awesomeness for IE and Safari as it does for Firefox, with a few key exceptions:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No password syncing:&lt;/strong&gt; A tough break, but not too hard to overcome by &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5063176/how-to-use-dropbox-as-the-ultimate-password-syncer"&gt;using Dropbox as a cross-platform password syncer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/bookmarks/hack-attack-back-up-and-sync-your-firefox-bookmarks-with-your-personal-server-235519.php"&gt;syncing bookmarks to your own server&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Probably not a deal-breaker for most users, but we hope it makes a showing some day soon.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;iPhone sync only for Mac Safari:&lt;/strong&gt; Actually, this isn't a feature Foxmarks even offers for Firefox, so it's kind of a bonus.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br&gt; If you're still down to try out Foxmarks in its newest forms, head to the &lt;a href="http://download.foxmarks.com/download/all"&gt;Foxmarks downloads&lt;/a&gt; page and grab your appropriate installer. I lack a Mac system, so I'll be stepping through an Internet Explorer setup below. &lt;p&gt;Double-click the installer, accept all the standard "Do you want ..." and "Allow ..." prompts, and you'll be asked to either create a Foxmarks account or sign in with the one you've got. After verification, you'll end up at this simple screen, familiar to Foxmarks veterans:&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks1.png" class="center" width="516" height="225" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The default action, if you simply hit "Synchronize," is for Foxmarks to merge any favorites you've got on your system with anything backed up in your Foxmarks cloud. That's fine for newcomers, but I generally like to get rid of all of the pre-loaded MSN, Windows Live, and similar bookmarks, so let's hit "Change sync settings" and switch it up:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks2.png" class="center" width="510" height="265" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks3.png" width="342" height="123"&gt;After that, Foxmarks gets going. Instead of installing an icon in Internet Explorer's bottom status bar, Foxmarks plants itself in your system tray. You'll see it pop up a notification when it's done grabbing or placing bookmarks to/from the servers. Right-clicking this icon gives you access to your Foxmarks settings, can open up your web-based bookmarks browser, and close down the Foxmarks process. It seems to run whether or not you've got IE up and running, which is somewhat memory insensitive, but also convenient for those who open and close their browser regularly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Foxmarks options are similar to what Firefox users have been used to: a quick-sync button, choices on how and when Foxmarks synchronizes, and, best of all, the same kind of &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/398099/foxmarks-gets-selective-bookmark-syncing"&gt;computer-by-computer selective bookmark syncing&lt;/a&gt;, or "profiles."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks4.png" class="center" width="438" height="475" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And here's the advanced options, where you can change your encryption demands, force a server- or computer-wiping sync, and turn off that Foxmarks tray icon. Turning off the icon still lets you at the Foxmarks options from IE's "Tools" menu:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/foxmarks5.png" class="center" width="468" height="479" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here's a video tour of Foxmarks features, composed by Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal/All Things Digital. It's somewhat introductory-level, but covers a lot of ground (and here's his &lt;a href="http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20090204/synchronizing-your-bookmarks-on-all-your-pcs/"&gt;full, positive review of Foxmarks' functionality&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;embed src="http://services.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/452319854" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=10134809001&amp;playerId=452319854&amp;viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&amp;servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&amp;cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&amp;domain=embed&amp;autoStart=false&amp;" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="486" height="412" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swliveconnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" class="center" align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Safari users, be sure to tell us how Foxmarks is working for you. Does tri-browser Foxmarks open up a new realm of synchronized browsing? Waiting for just one more platform (noting that mobile access is, of course, &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5054193/foxmarks-takes-your-bookmarks-mobile"&gt;already covered&lt;/a&gt;)?

			<title><![CDATA[ Google Apps Users Get Offline Calendar Access [Offline Access] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/gcal_updating.png" width="300" height="177"/&gt;&lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE APPS" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE APPS" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-apps/"&gt;Google Apps&lt;/a&gt; users may be noticing an "Offline (beta)" link in the upper-right corner of their Google Calendars. That's right&amp;mdash;Google's rolling out offline browser access to appointments, and, for once, Apps users get first dibs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you see the offline link in red, hit it and, if you've enabled any other kind of Google &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged OFFLINE ACCESS" title="Click here to read more posts tagged OFFLINE ACCESS" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/offline-access/"&gt;offline access&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href="http://gears.google.com"&gt;Google Gears&lt;/a&gt;, like &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5140668/gmail-goes-offline-with-google-gears"&gt;Offline Gmail&lt;/a&gt;, you'll get a familiar experience. You're prompted to enable offline access, and to install Gears if you haven't already:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/gcal_prompt.png" width="587" height="393" class="center" align="center"/&gt;&lt;br clear="all"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/gcal_offline.png" width="334" height="128"/&gt;If you've already got Gears installed on your browser (supported on Chrome, Internet Explorer 6 &amp; 7, Firefox 2 &amp; 3, and Safari 3), your calendar will hook up its first event synchronization. Lifehacker received offline access this morning, and since our shared staff calendar isn't stuffed with events, the first sync took less than a minute. Google doesn't make it clear in its &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/static.py?page=offline_faq.html&amp;hl=en"&gt;Offline Calendar FAQ&lt;/a&gt; if there are any limitations to the number of events synced, backwards or forwards, but it'd be hard to imagine not getting everything. If they can afford the bandwidth to &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5140828/how-offline-gmail-decides-which-messages-to-download"&gt;give you about 10,000 of your emails&lt;/a&gt;, attachments and all, it's hard not to believe the simple text of ical data isn't a gimmie for their servers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you're synced up, you get really basic options on your Settings page to manage which calendars you want synced to your account. Enabling offline access seems to only grab the default calendar on its first try:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/gcal_offline2.png" width="543" height="427" class="center" align="center"/&gt;&lt;br clear="all"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/gcal_offline4.png" width="419" height="209"/&gt;The big drawback&amp;mdash;and it's a surprising one, given the &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/398722/gmail-and-gcal-prep-for-offline-use"&gt;leaked screens from July 2008&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash;is that offline Calendar is read-only. That means no editing or adding to events when you're away from the net. There also doesn't appear to be a "flaky connection mode," a la Offline Gmail, that tries to connect only when you do something new&amp;mdash;you're either online or off with GCal, at least in this Google Apps offering.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What's your take on Google's version of offline calendars? Google Apps users, are you finding everything on your calendar synced up, or are there limitations? Tell us our findings and feelings in the comments. &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/static.py?page=offline_faq.html&amp;hl=en"&gt;About Offline Calendar&lt;/a&gt; [Calendar Help Center]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ bitRipper is a Dead Simple Solution for DVD Ripping [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/bitripper_basic.png" width="398" height="179" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: If all you want is computer-playable video off your DVDs, bitRipper is the most simple, click-one-button-and-you're-rolling solution we've seen. You can change your rip's audio and video parameters, but you don't have to.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Many apologies for the &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/384268/bitripper-converts-dvds-to-avis-in-one-click"&gt;duplicate post&lt;/a&gt;, but hopefully we provided you with a bit more detail this time 'round.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The screenshot above might be the only thing you ever see from bitRipper, if you're not the type to fiddle with video codecs, aspect ratios, normalizing, and bitrates. After installing bitRipper and starting it, you can change the output file name if you want, but loading a disc and hitting "Start" starts the ripping process and puts an .avi file in your My Documents-&amp;gt;My DVD Backups folder. Even our own &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/355281/dvd-rip-automates-one+click-dvd-ripping"&gt;one-click DVD Rip&lt;/a&gt; requires a tiny bit more configuration on the front end, though it's equally capable and simple in a general sense.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you were the type to fiddle, well, here's what you can get to with the Settings button:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/bitripper_settings.png" class="center" width="458" height="514" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And here's the list of video and audio codecs you can rip any DVD track to (&lt;em&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/em&gt; Turns out the list is dependent on what codecs you have installed, usually put there by other ripping programs. This is the basic list on a relatively untouched Windows 7 system):&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/bitripper_codecs.png" class="center" width="646" height="141" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There's little else to say, except that it seems to work&amp;mdash;I'm currently backing up a DVD from the default settings, and it claims it will finish at 8:30 a.m. (EST) or so, having started at 7:50 a.m. Speed demons can debate whether that's my drive or a standard run time, but everyone else can appreciate bitRipper's no-nonsense utility. It's free to download for Windows systems only.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bitripper.com/index.html"&gt;bitRipper&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://cybernetnews.com/2009/01/29/rip-dvds-to-avi/"&gt;CyberNet&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

The Largest Folders tab shows you a view that resembles the previously mentioned &lt;a href="http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/"&gt;Windirstat&lt;/a&gt; (another app that's a whiz at &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/disk-space/geek-to-live--visualize-your-hard-drive-usage-219058.php"&gt;visualizing your hard drive usage&lt;/a&gt;), with the option to drill down into folders. Hidden behind the options panel you will find some even better settings&amp;mdash;the ability to filter by file type, or only analyze files larger than a specified size, making this a great utility for &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/lifehacker-top-10/top-10-ways-to-clean-up-your-pc-294189.php"&gt;cleaning up your drive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Free Disk Analyzer is a free download for Windows users only.

			<title><![CDATA[ What Cellphone Is in Your Pocket? [Reader Poll] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/madness.png" width="455" height="345" style="display:block;" /&gt;It's no stretch to assume almost every Lifehacker reader owns a cellphone. Now we want to know which one you're carrying. &lt;i&gt;Photo by &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/alt1040/2675256698/"&gt;alt1040&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since this is a such a broad category, we tried to go as broad as possible with the choices. Still, rather than attempt to hit every mark, I've included some of the most obvious picks in the smartphone department, then lumped all the rest into the non-smartphone category. (The purpose of this poll is to give us a better idea of what phones our readers own so we can better hunt down mobile apps you'd be interested in.) If we've missed your phone, the Other option allows you to add your own entry to the poll.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" language="javascript" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/1341228.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href="http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/1341228/"&gt;What Kind of Cellphone Do You Have?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:9px;"&gt;( &lt;a href="http://www.polldaddy.com"&gt;polls&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If we missed anything glaringly obvious, tell us in the comments and we'll update the poll.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ GCalTasks Gadget Tracks Time in Google Calendar [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/goocalgadget1.png" width="424" height="239" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows 7/Vista only: Sidebar gadget gCalTasks tracks your time with a couldn't-be-easier start/stop timer that saves your current task directly to &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE CALENDAR" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-calendar/"&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Installing the gadget is easy&amp;mdash;just double-click on the downloaded file to add it to your sidebar, and use the wrench icon to add in your Google account details (works with Apps too). Once you've authenticated you can choose which calendar you want to send your time tracking data too. (It's probably best to create a new one to keep from cluttering your regular schedule.) At this point you can start tracking your time by simply typing what you are working on and clicking Start; when you're done, hit Stop to save your data up to Google. At the end of the day you can check the Agenda view in Google Calendar to see a nice list of everything you worked on throughout the day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The gadget has a few issues&amp;mdash;most noticeably it's too wide to fit in the sidebar so you really have to use it on the desktop, but the bigger problem is the lack of automatic sync, requiring you to remember to use the Stop button to save. The benefits of being able to easily track what you are working on and save to the accessible-everywhere Google Calendar outweigh the problems&amp;mdash;and make this worth a look for anybody looking to keep better tabs on their time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;gCalTasks is a free download for Windows 7 or Vista users. If you are looking for a hands-off, completely automated solution, take a look at &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5123041/productivity-meter-tracks-your-computer-usage"&gt;previously mentioned Productivity Meter&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/396940/slife-time-tracker-redesigned-now-free"&gt;Slife&lt;/a&gt; instead. Do you have a preferred solution for tracking your time?

PhotoPerfect Express comes bundled with five pre-set photo enhancement methods&amp;mdash;each of which can be further fine-tuned if you desire. There's batch processing options, especially handy if you realize after tweaking the first few photos in a series that you're seeing the same issues throughout the set. If you're having trouble deciding which optimization is yielding the most pleasing result, press the A key while tweaking to display the original next to all five optimization algorithms for easy comparison&amp;mdash;a nice fix for those with photo-fixing self-doubt. PhotoPerfect Express is freeware, Windows only.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arcadiasoftware.com/photoperfect-express.html"&gt;PhotoPerfect Express&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://www.nirmaltv.com/2009/02/03/enhance-photos-with-photoperfect-express/"&gt;Life Rocks 2.0&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ File & Folder Unlocker Removes File Locks, Runs from Your Thumb Drive [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/FileFolderUnlocker1.png" width="422" height="216" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: Portable utility File &amp; Folder Unlocker makes quick work of unlocking in-use files&amp;mdash;so they can be moved or deleted without those pesky "being used by another process" errors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Using the application, which requires no installation, is as simple as searching for the file or folder and choosing Unlock Object from the context menu. You can alternatively kill the offending process, or double-click on the process in the list to see which other files it's holding open. This utility will come in seriously handy the next time you encounter an error copying files and don't know what process is holding your file open&amp;mdash;unless you are using Windows 7, which &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5132227/windows-7-tells-you-why-you-cant-touch-that-file"&gt;actually tells you&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;File &amp; Folder Unlocker is a free download for Windows users and makes a handy addition to your &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5133679/five-best-portable-applications"&gt;flash drive toolkit&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/266433/delete-a-locked-file-in-windows"&gt;Previously mentioned&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/"&gt;Unlocker&lt;/a&gt; covers the same territory and adds a handy new entry to your right-click menu to streamline the process, but it requires installation and a reboot to get the job done.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.diamondcs.com.au/freeutilities/fileunlocker.php"&gt;File &amp; Folder Unlocker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

Search Pad automatically detects when you start researching a topic and keeps track of the sites you've visited. You can add to and edit the items in your Search Pad within your Yahoo search results, and when you've finished your research, Search Pad can save the results to your Yahoo account, email them to someone else, or print them off. If the service is available to you (it's not to us), let's hear what you think in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ysearchblog.com/2009/02/04/search-pad-making-online-research-easier-2/"&gt;Search Pad: Making Online Research Easier&lt;/a&gt; [Yahoo Search Blog]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ WizMouse Adds Scrolling to Out of Focus Windows [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/2009-02-04_122455.png" height="154" width="218" /&gt;Windows only: WizMouse is a handy little application that enables scrolling of non-focused application windows with your mouse wheel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's as straightforward as it sounds. When WizMouse is running in the background, you can scroll any window by putting the mouse cursor over the application and spinning your mousewheel (instead of having to click on it and redirect the focus to that application). One bonus over similar utilities, like the &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/download-of-the-day/katmouse-scroll-wheel-enhancement-windows-256773.php"&gt;previously mentioned KatMouse&lt;/a&gt;, is that for the odd or vintage program that doesn't support mouse based scrolling, WizMouse converts the commands from the mouse wheel into scroll commands. Although at first glance it may seem trivial to have to click on a window before scrolling in it, after a short period of testing the application I'm amazed the feature isn't built right into Windows&amp;mdash;it's a godsend for dual monitors, or anyone monitoring a vertically-focused website. WizMouse is freeware, Windows only. &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://antibody-software.com/web/software/software/wizmouse-makes-your-mouse-wheel-work-on-the-window-under-the-mouse/"&gt;WizMouse&lt;/a&gt; [via&lt;a href="http://elitefreeware.blogspot.com/2009/02/wizmouse-is-simple-way-of-scrolling.html"&gt; EliteFreeware&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Make Ubiquity Your Ultimate Firefox Commander [Ubiquity] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/lh-search-ubiquity-header.png" width="504" height="280" style="display:block;" /&gt; One of the niftiest Firefox add-ons to come out of Mozilla Labs is &lt;a href="http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/"&gt;Ubiquity&lt;/a&gt;, a natural language commander that adds killer functionality on-page in Firefox. Let's take a closer look.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt; First, if you haven't already, &lt;a href="http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity/"&gt;install the Ubiquity add-on for Firefox&lt;/a&gt;. (Mac users, you should also install &lt;a href="http://growl.info/"&gt;Growl&lt;/a&gt; to get status messages from Ubiquity.) Ubiquity is still pre-1.0, so be prepared for possible hiccups or Firefox slowdowns with Ubiquity installed. While the current 0.1.5 release saw tons of stability improvements over the initial preview, it still is very beta software.&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;Basic Usage&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you've got Ubiquity installed, to invoke it, hit Ctrl+Space (Windows) or Option+Space (Mac) from any web page in Firefox and you'll get the Ubiquity command panel. (This action and result will look and feel very familiar to fans of &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged APPLICATION LAUNCHERS" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/application-launchers/"&gt;application launchers&lt;/a&gt; like Launchy or Quicksilver on the desktop.) From the command panel, you can do things by just starting to type an action related to a web service. Try it: any letter of the alphabet will bring up a list of matching commands in a suggest-as-you-type drop-down.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/ubiq-amazon.png" width="527" height="307" style="display:block;" /&gt; For example, you can search Amazon by typing &lt;b&gt;am&lt;/b&gt;, which will highlight &lt;b&gt;amazon-search&lt;/b&gt;, then hit Space and type a word, like Lifehacker. Inside the Ubiquity panel, you'll get your results, as shown.&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This works for every search engine you'd expect: Google, Wikipedia, Flickr, Google Image search, eBay. That's fine, but what makes Ubiquity special is that it has access to your personal data, too, like your &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE CALENDAR" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-calendar/"&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt;. For example:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/ubiq-checkmarch2.png" width="527" height="432" style="display:block;" /&gt;Invoke Ubiquity and type &lt;b&gt;check Tuesday&lt;/b&gt; to see what events are on your calendar that day, as shown. (In the screenshot, I'm checking out a specific date&amp;mdash;March 2.)&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/ubiq-email.png" width="527" height="296" style="display:block;" /&gt;If you're a Gmail user, Ubiquity knows your contact list. To email a link to the web page you're currently looking at, try the &lt;b&gt;email check this out! to adam&lt;/b&gt; command, as shown. You'll get a choice of all the people in your contacts list who match the keyword adam. (Note: This feature is either a bit buggy or I'm crazy, because Adam's address should be the first choice in my case but it's not. Hey, Ubiquity is still beta.)&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hit Enter and Ubiquity will open a new tab with a Gmail message all filled in, like this:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/email-web-page-result.png" width="434" height="366" style="display:block;" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This fun just doesn't stop. Check out more screenshots of a few useful Ubiquity commands in action below. Click each thumbnail to enlarge.&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5145709/make-ubiquity-your-ultimate-firefox-commander"&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/02/small_gal-weather_01.png" alt=" Check the weather " title=" Check the weather " align="left" hspace="2" vspace="2" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5145709/make-ubiquity-your-ultimate-firefox-commander"&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/02/small_gal-translate_01.png" alt=" Translate a word or phrase " title=" Translate a word or phrase " align="left" hspace="2" vspace="2" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5145709/make-ubiquity-your-ultimate-firefox-commander"&gt; &lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/02/small_gal-flickr_01.png" alt=" Search Flickr images (kittens!)

But Ubiquity's real power is in its ability to connect data between different web services inside its command panel. For example, you can translate text from one language to another in-page; email selected text, images, or video clips to a Gmail contact; or Google map a list of addresses from Craigslist all in one spot.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Watch this two-minute screencast to see these three advanced mashups in action in Ubiquity.&lt;br&gt; &lt;object width="506" height="380" class="left gawkerVideo embeddedVideo"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3079833&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1"&gt; &lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt; &lt;embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3079833&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="506" height="380" class="left gawkerVideo"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/3079833.jpg" style="display: none;" class="embeddedVideoThumbnail"&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If Ubiquity's existing selection of commands doesn't do it for you, you can add your own.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;Extend Ubiquity&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Even in this early version 0.1.5, Ubiquity's command selection out of the box is impressive, but you can add more, too. Anyone can create commands for Ubiquity, and I did just that by creating a Lifehacker Google search command that scours this site's archives for your keyword in the Ubiquity panel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://ginatrapani.org/workshop/ubiquity/lifehacker-search.xhtml"&gt;Install the &lt;b&gt;Lifehacker Search&lt;/b&gt; Ubiquity command from this page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; Hit the Subscribe button to add it to your command set. Once it's installed&amp;mdash;you can trust it!&amp;mdash;invoke Ubiquity and type &lt;b&gt;lif&lt;/b&gt; to call it up and add your keyword.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here's what it looks like searching for the word "Ubiquity" (before this post was published).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/lifehacker-ubiquity-search-screenshot_01.png" class="center" width="821" height="565" style="display:block;float:none;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sadly, unlike bookmark keywords, you've got to have some programming chops to create Ubiquity commands. If you do, &lt;a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity_0.1_Author_Tutorial"&gt;developer documentation is decent&lt;/a&gt; even at this early stage. You can even check out &lt;a href="http://decafbad.com/blog/2008/09/01/writing-a-delicious-command-for-ubiquity"&gt;Leslie Michaels' walkthrough of how he created the Delicious Ubiquity command&lt;/a&gt;. With Ubiquity installed, use the &lt;b&gt;command-editor&lt;/b&gt; command to enter your code.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Going forward, a community of Ubiquity users and programmers will be posting their commands&amp;mdash;which you can subscribe to&amp;mdash;to the &lt;a href="https://ubiquity.mozilla.com/herd/"&gt;Ubiquity Herd&lt;/a&gt; site.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;Pick Your Skin&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, like Launchy, Quicksilver, and Firefox itself, Ubiquity is skinnable. Right now there are only three skins available (use the &lt;b&gt;skin-list&lt;/b&gt; command to see them), but CSS mavens can edit the custom skin to make Ubiquity look how they like.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Have you spent much time with Ubiquity? What are your most-used commands? Got any tips or tricks to share? Post 'em up in the comments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://ginatrapani.org"&gt;Gina Trapani&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Lifehacker's founding editor, is loving Ubiquity's Wikipedia command, among many others. Her new weekly feature, &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/smarterware/"&gt;Smarterware&lt;/a&gt;, will appear every Wednesday on Lifehacker. Subscribe to the &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/smarterware/index.xml"&gt;Smarterware tag feed&lt;/a&gt; to get new installments in your newsreader.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Hackintoshes Possibly More Popular than Linux [Web Site Traffic] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/browser_chart.png" width="350" height="176"/&gt;A recent report listing &lt;a href="http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10"&gt;operating system usage by web browsers&lt;/a&gt; highlighted one strange quirk&amp;mdash;Mac OS X users with "no version reported" at 1 percent. Could the &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/348653/install-os-x-on-your-hackintosh-pc-no-hacking-required"&gt;Hackintosh&lt;/a&gt; be more popular than Linux?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Well, that depends on how you look at the numbers. The statistics are drawn from the 160 million users that web analytics firm Net Applications states are looking at its clients' sites, and whether they'd be more or less prone to Linux traffic. Lifehacker, for example, routinely draws between &lt;a href="http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&amp;s=sm3lifehacker&amp;r=19"&gt;four and six percent of traffic from Linux&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash;but we're a site that features Linux tips and downloads. Still, the idea that Hackintosh owners make up one percent of any site network's traffic is pretty intriguing.

			<title><![CDATA[ Seeking More Feedback Might Help Keep Your Job [Jobs] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;If the ax is about to fall at your office, the chief career officer at temp/HR franchise Adecco says now is the time to get all &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Koch"&gt;Ed Koch&lt;/a&gt; and ask everyone how you're doing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wired's How-To Wiki has a collaborative post up on how to lower the odds of your name being selected in the next round of layoffs. While a little sparse at the moment, the wiki-post does point out the two sides of keeping a high/low profile. You want to be seeking feedback and direction from as many people as you can, and be seen involved in projects, especially new ones, whenever you can. But you don't your theoretically on-the-sly job-hunting to be seen by anybody, anywhere, inside your firm, or your likelihood of being considered for a layoff shoots up exponentially.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Other than that, it's the same kind of advice&amp;mdash;upgrade your skills, network, look outside your field&amp;mdash;that we've previously explored in tips on &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/347756/how-do-you-recession+proof-your-career"&gt;recession-proofing your career&lt;/a&gt; (on paper and &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5056301/recession+proof-your-job-with-free-web+based-tools"&gt;on the web&lt;/a&gt;). Got a good (and anonymous) tip on putting your best feedback-hungry face forward around the office? Drop it in the comments. &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Keep_Your_Job"&gt;Keep Your Job&lt;/a&gt; [Wired How-To Wiki]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Eye Relax Reminds You to Stop Burning Your Eyes Out [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/2009-02-04_093245.png" width="362" height="395" style="display:block;" /&gt;Windows only: Eye Relax is small Windows application that reminds you to take a break from the computer and give your eyes a much needed break.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many programs designed as break reminders are simply timers under a different name, but Eyes Relax has a host of unique features that put it one step beyond. In addition to the basic setup, where you plug in your work period and break time lengths, you can also customize how Eyes Relax shows up to enforce eyeball rest: a balloon tip in the system tray, a screen blank-out, or a pre-selected image pop-in. There's also a "parent mode" where you can set a password to lock the reminder screen&amp;mdash;which would certainly put an end to dinner-time calls of "Just five more minutes!"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the handiest features by far however is the ability to save the settings as profiles. When you're poring over minute edits and restoration in Photoshop, for example, it fatigues your eyes much quicker than casual web browsing. To make sure you're using your break from the computer effectively, read up on &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/168261/"&gt;how to reduce eyestrain&lt;/a&gt; and give your other muscles a refresher with some &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/282125/practice-yoga-at-your-desk"&gt;at-your-desk yoga&lt;/a&gt;. Eye Relax is freeware, Windows only.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="related"&gt;&lt;a href="http://themech.net/eyesrelax/"&gt;Eye Relax&lt;/a&gt; [via &lt;a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/04/prevent-eye-strain-with-computer-breaks/"&gt;gHacks&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/&gt;

			<title><![CDATA[ Floola Syncs Music, Google Calendars to iPods Without iTunes [Downloads] ]]></title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/02/floola_thumb.png" width="257" height="128"/&gt;Windows/Mac/Linux (all platforms): Floola, the go-anywhere, no-iTunes-required iPod manager, has updated with some nifty new features, including the ability to natively sync your Google Calendars to your iPod.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We've been into Floola for some time now, ever since discovering that it was the ultimate solution for &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/ipod/hack-attack-add-music-and-movies-to-your-ipod-from-any-computer-without-itunes-237986.php"&gt;adding music and movies to your iPod from any computer&lt;/a&gt;, whether or not you were down with iTunes. The latest versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux (GTK2 required) add &lt;a class="autolink" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE CALENDAR" title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE CALENDAR" href="http://lifehacker.com/tag/google-calendar/"&gt;Google Calendar&lt;/a&gt; importing, plus a few bug fixes and optimizations sprinkled throughout.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As with previous versions, Floola 4.7 is a stand-alone app, and its best used by stashing it in the disk storage of your iPod to be run from any system. It doesn't support iPhones or iPod touch models, however.
