| Enhance Search Engine Experiences with SmartSuggestor Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:30 PM PDT
SmartSuggestor is a free browser add-on which is an effective search engine tool meant to help you surf the web better. It improves searching, sharing, and shopping on the internet. When you search on a search engine, it shows keywords related to your search to narrow your search better, it shows preview of videos in search results, it shows Wikipedia articles, shows shopping discounts, and more. InstallationInstallation was very easy and started immediately after I clicked the download button on the product page. I was however alarmed by the caution from Mozilla. It labelled the author of the add on as "not verified" and proceeded to inform me of the risk of installing. I chose to ignore the warning and went on to install Smart Suggester. Features of Smart Suggestor:Smart Suggestor has quite a number of features:
How to use it this search engine toolKeyword suggestions can be viewed at the top of the Google's toolbar. Click on any of them to access Smart Suggester bubble.Web results of the keyword are viewed as default. You can preview videos and pictures of the suggested keyword by clicking on the respective buttons on the bubble. Wikipedia articles related to the key word can be accessed via the Wikipedia button. You can view what people on Twitter are saying about the keyword you just searched.
Program settings can be accessed via from the icon at the top left corner of your browser or your search engine. From this interface you can remove Smart Suggestor from any search engine and enable or disable any feature.
OpinionI loved the idea behind Smart Suggestor and found it very useful. However, some of its features like the Smart search box were not any different from what you find on a search engine like Google. I felt a bit insecure trusting a third arty application which even Mozilla could guarantee its safety with my search history and other sensitive information. Smart Suggestor shopping and Buddy are a delight for online shoppers; you don’t have to pay a cent more with these two at your disposal. Unlike other toolbars which occupy too much space on your browser, Smart Suggester is able to stay out of sight while still working to make your online experience better. VerdictSmart Suggestor is definitely one Search Engine tool you need to have to experience the full potential of the web. Related posts:

| Download Flickr Photos to Digital Photo Frames: Flickr2Frame Posted: 02 Jul 2012 03:30 PM PDT
Flickr2Frame is a small and handy utility which can be used to scour the large collection of images that is available on Flickr and automatically populate your USB digital image frames with pics that were found online. Even though it doesn’t seem like that at first, the creators of this automatic image frame downloader had ease of use in mind when they were creating it, which can be seen from the rather simplistic interface that Flickr2Frame sports.
Similar software: Image Ripper, The image Collector. Depending on what kind of USB image frame you have, it will probably be detected by the program automatically. In our situation that was not the case, and that’s why we see a warning on the default program image above where we are asked to Select a Frame. Even if the Frame is recognized, you’re gonna have to enter options and enter Flickr information, so in any case the following step cannot be avoided. Configuring Flickr2Frame – automatic Flickr to Frame image downloaderConfiguration menu cannot be accessed directly from the main app, although you will be offered to open up the Config window once that the error that you can see above appears. If you miss the chance to open up the config menu it can be opened by clicking on the ConfigFrame.exe file which can be found in the application folder, the one that you’ve downloaded from the web. After you run the config, you should see the following window:
There are two portions of it that you have to fill out. First part would be Frame configuration, if it wasn’t recognized immediately. The Frame Type selection would be the most important field, because that’s where you select what kind of USB interface the program will use to communicate with the Frame. Generic setting should work on majority of devices, so try that first before moving to others which are offered. Another important option would be to choose the Photo Directory, directory where your USB Frame stores images it uses. Second part of the configuration relates to Flickr, it’s where you can choose what kind of account will be used to connect to this image sharing website. You can even access your own images by entering the information about your own account. Make sure to fill out all the fields with their proper information, like API key, authentication tokens and so on. Those who either do not have a Flickr account or are just not willing to share it with Flickr2Frame can click on the Use Flicr2Frame Sample Value button. After doing that, the default information provided by the program itself are filled out which makes things a lot easier.
Once that you are finished changing all the options, and after clicking on the Save button, you will be warned that the selected image directory on the Frame will be deleted, and after you click Yes, Flickr2Frame will start downloading images and populating it with images that it found on Flickr. You can then start enjoying images on your USB digital image frame, and if you want new ones just rerun Flickr2Frame. Simple and easy, try it, it’s free. No related posts.

| LibreOffice: Free Office Suite for Linux, Windows and Mac Posted: 02 Jul 2012 09:30 AM PDT
LibreOffice is one of the best free alternatives to Microsoft’s Office, because it offers the most complete office suit out there. You get practically everything with LibreOffice, which is not the case with similar office programs that we reviewed before, like Kingsoft Office. Set of tools that hides behind LibreOffice is really amazing, you get:
You can probably guess on your own what some of these are, Writer is LibreOffice equivalent to Office Word, Impress to Power Point, Calc to Excel and Base to Access. There are also other useful utilities like Math and Draw which can be used for writing mathematical equations in case of Math and to draw logos and flowcharts in case of Draw.
Libre Office is a sibling of OpenOffice, in fact you could say that OpenOffice is an ancestor of LibreOffice because Libre is built on top of the OpenOffice code. OpenOffice was the flagship office suite of the open source community but then the company which was backing OpenOffice, Sun Microsystems, was bought by Oracle and in fear that their favorite office suit will become a commercial product, the open source community forked OpenOffice thus creating LibreOffice. LibreOffice Writer – Free .doc and .docx editorLibreOffice Writer is the free alternative to Microsoft’s Office Word and it can even open up Word formats like .doc and .docx.
From the interface screenshot you can see how very similar LibreOffice Writer is to Word, just not Word 2007 or 2010. This is good news for all those who enjoy the look of Office 2003, but not for all those that fancy Word 2010 design more. Good news is that even though the style is not the same, functionality is there, you can open up the problematic .docx, problematic at least to those who are using Office 2003, where it is not possible to open the file format of newer Word versions.
Formatting and the layout of Word files are preserved, like you can see from the image above where a standard table is open. Create presentations, spreadsheets and databases with LibreOfficeAll of the three apps from the Libre suite mentioned above come with a lot of the same things that you can see in commercial applications, and just like with the LibreOffice Writer, all of these application are offering support for Microsoft Office file formats, and anything that you might have been working on in Office, you can just continue to work on in LibreOffice.
Impress, Calc and Base come with pre-made templates which you can edit to your liking if you’re not interested in creating documents from scratch. There are a lot of options available, and the best way to see how powerful these office applications are is to test them out. ConclusionLibreOffice gives you the opporutnity to edit and save Microsoft Office documents for free, and not only that. Since this application is cross platform, you can use it on your Windows, Mac, Linux and even BSD systems. If you are looking for a free alternative to Office, then this is what you need, download for free. Related posts:

| Monitor tracking cookies in Firefox with Mozilla Collusion Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:30 AM PDT
Mozilla Collusion is a Firefox addon which should be used by every individual who’s worried about privacy intrusions that we are exposed to as soon as we open up a website. This handy little addon will give you a 3D display of all the cookies which are left in Firefox by every internet location opened inside the browser. You will also see a display of connections between various cookies and how they are all interconnected with each other.
It might not seem much, but what you see above actually tells us a lot about what is happening in the background when, in the case of the picture above, we open up the very famous IMDb website. Right off the bat 3 tracking cookies are placed on our computer, one of which is called atdmt.com. If you do a Google search on this particular cookie a lot more information about it can be found, for example who’s the owner and what exactly is tracked by it. Same thing can be done for every other cookie that can be seen on the image above. How bad can tracking cookies really be?They can be very bad, and you can discover how exactly once that you continue using Mozilla Collusion. Main thing that is problematic about tracking cookies wouldn’t even be the invasion of privacy, a lot of people don’t really take privacy invasion very seriously, as they should, the more problematic thing would be content filtering which is causing you to see only things that cookie controllers want you to see.
The image that you see above is what waits for you after you for example leave the IMDb website and then open up your favorite newspaper website. This new website also has it’s own set of cookies, but what’s more interesting would be the Doubleclick cookie that can be seen pointed out on the image above. This is a tracking cookie that is shared between these two websites and the data which was collected about you on the IMDb site will be given to the cookie on the newspaper site so that the site can change what you see. Web search and content filteringMozilla Collusion is great to show people graphically how exactly the content that they are seeing is being manipulated by majority of websites. On the example of IMDb and the newspaper site, we can imagine that news which we receive upon opening the main website will be suited to the movies or movie stars that we were reading about on the IMDb website. All this is of course done so that the users reach the information that they are interested in more easily, and it also helps ad agencies to server better targeted ads, for example for the DVD of the movie that we were looking at on the IMDb website. There’s a downside to this type of thing also, because if the content which we are reading only talks about the things that we are interested in, then we will not be informed about other things, and perhaps even about the other side of the story. With Mozilla Collusion you can see more clearly who and how is controlling the information that you’re seeing. Install this Firefox addon for free and see who tracks you exactly. No related posts.
