We all know that in order to protect ourselves online, we must have strong passwords. How do you know, though, if your passwords are strong enough? Head over to The Password Meter. This is a free service that will check your password for you and report back to whether your password is weak or strong. The Password Meter checks for minimum requirements of at least eight characters, and at least 3 out of the following 4: Uppercase Letters Lowercase Letters Numbers Symbols It measures your password by several factors: Number of Characters Uppercase Letters Lowercase Letters Numbers Symbols Middle Numbers or Symbols Requirements At the same time, points will be deducted for things like having letters or numbers only, repeating characters, and sequential and consecutive characters. This is an excellent test, and I highly suggest you check every one of your passwords using this. Also, when you re ready to set a new password for something, why not run it through this test prior to using it? It only takes a few seconds. Isn t your peace of mind worth those seconds?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I recently received an email from Grant, discussing his grandmother and a recent episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Here is what he had to say: My grandmother, like so many other grandmothers, doesn t know a thing about technology and has the habit of watching the Oprah show. So when Oprah had a special about a teenager who became infamous online with the help of a webcam, my grandma concluded that webcams are the spawn of the devil. I did not watch the show, but I read about it and watched excerpts of it after I had heard my grandmother talking about the evils of webcams. Basically the boy s story goes like this The boy, Justin, was only 11 years old when he got a webcam and used it on his computer in his room. He went to chat rooms ,where he lied about his age, and got paid to have cybersex with the perverts in the chat rooms. Eventually he started his own website and made quite a bit of money using his webcam/website for porn. Justin claims that he did not know what he was doing, and that he was just taken advantage of. Eventually he stopped stripping for the camera, and (with the help of a reporter) went on the Oprah show to warn people of the dangers of the Internet. Oprah was interviewing the reporter who somehow saved Justin (again, I didn t watch the whole thing so I don t know the exact details), and was telling parents that they should monitor their kids online, and that children should not have their own computers in their rooms. I totally agree. But what really troubled me, and made my grandma scared of the Internet, was when the reporter told parents to throw away any webcams in their house! What? Doesn t he realize that webcams can be used for so much good? They are a great way to communicate to other people, and are not always used for cybersex. My other problem with the show is that they made this kid look like a victim. He wasn t. He claimed that he thought the old men in the chat rooms were his friends what?? What kid would take off his clothes for a 50+ year old man in front of his computer for money?? How could his parents have not known about this? Why was there a computer in this kid s room in the first place??? The people who should be blamed are Justin s parents! So Chris, could you please tell people that webcams are not these evil things that perverts use to abuse children. Rather they are tools that can bring families closer together. I think that it is important that people stop being so afraid of technology. Thanks! Grant, I have to agree with you 100%. If you follow this line of thinking, then screwdrivers are evil, because they could be used to stab someone. Cars are evil because people die in car accidents. They are merely tools. If you (the general you ) don t teach people and children the proper use of these tools, that s what can invite disaster. Parents need to set up guidelines for their children. They need to monitor what is going on. With great power comes great responsibility with ALL things. This would include a webcam. The webcam itself is not evil. The potential evils lurk behind any person who is not given boundaries, knowledge and understanding. Technology is not a babysitter. Impart wisdom. Teach your children, friends and relatives the proper way to use technology, and the matters of safety. If you are a minor, listen up. This is not your world yet. You do not yet have the maturity level that adults do. You have to respect webcam technology. You are in control of the webcam. It is not in control of you. Period. End of story.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed It s hard to get my attention these days with a glut of new products being released on a regular basis. mDialog got my attention quickly with their amazing marketing promotion. Thanks to them, we re doing a special giveaway for the Moderators in my chat room. In three easy steps, mDialog’s innovative mLoader software allows you to encode, describe and upload video of any size and length from your Mac or PC. Download it for free today and start enjoying these great features. Because the encoding and uploading is done locally on your PC or Mac, mLoader can go as fast as your computer can. We don’t believe in size limits, so go ahead and upload that 30 or 60 minute presentation, instructional video or independent film for the world to see. We can handle it! It’s your choice - mLoader allows you to instantly make your video optimized for viewing on desktops, iPods, iPhones and Apple TV’s. You no longer have to create multiple versions for each type. mLoader takes care of that for you. We’re committed to making your video look as good as possible on the web, and we use the MPEG-4 h.264 video codec to do so. Don’t worry if you don’t know what that means - once you’ve seen the video you’ll understand. With some services, there’s a wait after you’ve uploaded your video for it to be ready for viewing. With mDialog, it’s instantly available. We know that you may want to syndicate your content on as many other video services as possible. To make this easier, mLoader gives you the option to save a copy of your encoded video to your computer. This optimized file can then be uploaded to any service you like from your corporate intranet to the latest video sharing site. It is your content to do with as you please. So I open the box from mDialog, and begin reading the marketing letter. They said they wanted me to try this new app, and installed it on a brand-new iPod Touch. What?! They were nice enough to engrave it, even. It definitely got me looking at the product. The letter even said that there was a personalized video waiting for me on it. It s a personalized video from the founder of mDialog. I can t believe that they sent me an iPod Touch to get my attention! The mDialog site is definitely worth checking out. They are definitely very high-resolution. The site is easy to use and get around in, and the quality of what they re doing is amazingly good. So, what s that about a giveaway? You heard me right. We re going to use this iPod Touch to thank the Moderators in our chat room. They work many hours every day for absolutely nothing more than our thanks. They are what makes the live community work, and work well. They keep order in chat, and make sure that it s a good place for people of all ages to come to. So what do they have to do? Simple! The Ops and Halfops who wish to enter will each send Kat a little writeup of their most embarassing or funny moment involving using a computer. On Thursday afternoon, July 24th, Kat will upload each other those blurbs to my blog anonymously. There will be no one s name attached to them. We will then open up a poll in the blog, and ask all of you to vote for your favorite. Then, on my birthday Saturday night, July 26th, we will reveal who the winner is, based on the most number of votes. So stay tuned, and check back here to the blog on Thursday so that you can cast your vote! Thanks again to all of the moderators for all of the work you do. You guys rock!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed In front of me is a small, light-weight device. I ve seen it advertised in the past. When I ask people to send me ideas for cool USB products, I keep getting this one sent to me. It s a USB beverage chiller. I was skeptical as to whether one of these would work or not, so I decided to try it for myself. Once it s plugged in for awhile, it will cool to about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which is definitely pretty chilly. I didn t realize Mac OS X could do this. I had this cooler plugged into the laptop, and at one point the Mac told me that it was drawing too much USB power and would shut it down. Wow. That s impressive. So, I changed it up and plugged it into one of the USB grommets on my desk. Or, you can plug it into a wall. If you drink cold drinks near your computer, you need one of these. This will keep your drink cold until you finish it. If you re like me, you can t drink soda or anything once it has gotten warm. This Cool It USB Chiller is worth every bit of the $24.95 cost. The next must-have computer accessory is here. With the USB Beverage Chiller at your side, you can keep your beverage chilled and stay at your computer longer. Just seconds after plugging the chiller into your computer’s USB port (no external outlet needed), the coldplate chills to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for keeping your beverage chilled. So what other cool USB gadgets do you want me to check out? Send me your recommendations! Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Several blogs have reported that the battery life of the iPhone 3G and the original iPhone running 2.0 have put a damper on the phone to last all day. Despite the fact that the battery life of the 3G is bad, it s still better than other phones like it. It s true that it drains fast. What are you gonna do? You could carry a cord around with you wherever you go, or get some kind of external battery pack. I ve had my Lenmar external battery pack for awhile, and never really used it much. It s an excellent device though. It s a high-capacity external battery that will charge any USB device, so long as you have the proper cable. That would includes a DS, PSP, iPhone, iPod, Zune.. anything that charges via USB. Yes, it s as big as the iPhone itself, but not nearly as heavy. It does the job, though, which is what matters. When you re traveling, using one of these just makes sense. Why carry tons of separate chargers with you? Simply take an external battery with you, and charge all your devices with it. It has a mini USB connection, and a regular one. There s an indicator light that will tell you whether anything is charging or not, and turns off when the device is fully charged. These aren t cheap to buy, but it s actually saving you money. Think of buying 3 or more separate chargers for devices. Keep in mind, as well, that even proprietary chargers still charge via USB. Using this helps me get through the day, and doubles my charge on my iPhone. I ll be looking for an external battery made specifically for an iPhone. So, pass along your recommendations!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Eric is a regular visitor in our live community, who goes by than handle of iBowler or Bowler4Ever. He is an avid bowler, and sent in his tips to help all of you bowl higher scores! While I read Eric s bowling tips, I had a video done by XXOwnsXY from our chat room. She was playing around with OECake in that video, and it s way cool. Know your shoe size! You need special shoes to bowl in, as street shoes can damage the approach. If you don’t know, check inside your shoe for a tag or the bottom part of the shoe. After you get your lane, look for the bowling ball that weighs the perfect amount for you and make sure it fits your hand! Whatever your body weight is, take 10% from it. That would be the weight of your ball. BUT, if it’s too heavy, keep going a pound lighter until it feels somewhat decent for you. Don’t EVER get the tightest fit for you. If you’ve checked out YouTube, people have launched balls into the ceiling…and clocks! Also, never get balls with the fingerholes too big…you don’t want to get a broken foot! Make sure it’s snug, but still loose enough for you fingers! NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE BOWLING AREA! There’s a reason why those signs are all over the place. What happens if you spill soda all over the approach? You stick! sugary carbonated water turns into a sticky syrup that is a PAIN to clean off the approach and the shoes!…And if you fall and hurt yourself…it’s nobody’s fault but your own. Don’t even bring water down there (precautionary measures). You see that black line where the gutters start? Don’t you DARE go past it! That line is called the foul line and what it does is a) Lets you know that you went too far down and b) saves you from injury. Why? Because after that line there is a ton of oil that goes the rest of the way down the lane a certain distance. That oil is clear and very slippery and you WILL get hurt! Bowler’s Courtesy. Now I know you’re new to the game and all that, but league bowlers (such as myself) HATE it when people just rush up right beside or even in front of them and bowl. It’s very agitating and dangerous! Bowling balls weigh up to 16 pounds and if yo get smacked by one of those suckers, you’re going to get some broken bones! If you’re bowling on the first or last lane of the bowling center, do NOT go down that aisle and knock down the pins that way. Why? It’s dangerous and you can get kicked and banned from the center. It’s happened! So don’t do it! If you re a bowler, what s your highest score ever? What silly mistakes or oopsies have you made while bowling?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If you have your own website, sit still and listen closely. What I m going to talk to you about is that important. Even more important is for you to pass this information on to your friends, family and coworkers. What happens when you go to open your favorite website and it s not there? Well, it s possible you have some malware there, yes. But it s also likely it s a security flaw in your DNS. Recently, a significant threat to DNS, the system that translates names you can remember (such as www.doxpara.com) to numbers the Internet can route (66.240.226.139) was discovered, that would allow malicious people to impersonate almost any website on the Internet. Software companies across the industry have quietly collaborated to simultaneously release fixes for all affected name servers. The problem is, there is a flaw that is going through your DNS. You can protect yourself by setting yourself to OpenDNS. This can affect you no matter what computer or operating system you re using, and no matter what ISP you may have. If you connect to the Internet, you need to have DNS servers. Your computer needs to know how to match an IP address with a domain name. How do you know if your DNS settings have been compromised? Head over to DoxPara. Dan has done a fantastic job of putting all of this information together for you, along with the tool to help you see if you ve been compromised. Whether you re an Expert or a novice you need to check your DNS now. You ll be safe if you switch to OpenDNS. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If any of you subscribe to CPU magazine, you know I m a monthly columnist. I ve become a huge user advocate. I even recently suggested that the hardware and software industry adopt an operating system that isn t Windows in order to benefit Windows. More competition on the desktop is good for everyone. I got an email here about something I know I have heard about in the past. I just haven t had an occasion to tell you all about it. Sam pointed me towards ReactOS. ReactOS is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture. The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow your Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on your Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow you to remove Windows and install ReactOS without the end user noticing the change. Please bear in mind that ReactOS 0.3.5 is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is not recommended for everyday use. Certainly the hope for open-source will grow. I ve had a long-standing belief that open-source is the future of software. It s more than just a marketing tactic. Not only do you get software for free, it s about learning from the code as well. I m no coder. I can work my way around a file or script, but I can t do much of it on my own from scratch. I can do a bit of HTML and CSS but I only learned that by looking at what others have done. Thanks, Sam, for passing this along. If any of you know about something equally unique, let me know about it! I d love to take a look. Cracking The Forex Code.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed After I blogged recently about wanting to try TiVo, I was sent a unit to review for a few weeks. I ve been wanting to try it out, so this was a great opportunity. With certain software, you can take programs you record on TiVo and transcode them on your computer. You can then turn them into videos you can watch on pretty much any device. All the DVRs I ve had are boxes unto themselves, they couldn t be networked in any way. By networking my TiVo, I can then do as I described, to create videos I can play on my computer, iPhone or any other device I wanted to use. Here are a couple of programs you can use to accomplish this. TiVo Butler is an application that can track programs from multiple TiVo devices that you have on your home network. It s free, and allows you to browse the recordings you ve made on your TiVo. You can download them, encode them and much more. TiVo Butler is only available for Mac OS X. However TiVo Playlist is the Windows equivalent. Everything that you could hope to do with your TiVo, you ll be able to do with ease using TiVo Playlist. Retrieve TiVo Now Playing lists over an ethernet connection and calculate total recording time and disk space used Support for multiple TiVo units Estimate free space remaining given the capacity of the TiVo hard drive(s) Display either full List View or Folder View Mouseover Title shows description of recorded show along with Year Released/Air Date, Actors, Director, etc. View graphical representation of disk free space and space used by either recording status or recording quality Export of Now Playing lists to CSV files for use in other programs such as Microsoft Excel Batch downloading of recordings to PC (even from multiple machines) Tested to run under Windows 2000 and XP Pro and reported to run under Windows 98/ME, XP Home and Vista Works best at screen sizes 800 600 or larger if running 96dpi, or 1024 768 or larger if running 120dpi Downloads to FAT32 partitions support up to 4Gb filesizes, NTFS partitions support files > 4Gb (Windows 2000/XP/Vista only) Access via HTTP/HTTPS and requires TiVo software version 7.1 or newer You know how to email me, if you have other DVR or TiVo software or tips to pass along to me! I ll be glad to check them out and share them with the community. DishTVforPC.com. PCTV4Me. Voices.com - The Online Marketplace For Voice Actors.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Leo LaPorte and I worked together a few years ago on TechTV. Since that time, we have appeared at different conferences and conventions at the same time. People constantly ask when will you and Leo do something together again!? . We are each doing our own thing these days, but it was great fun to get together via phone during Leo s recent 24 Hours of iPhone . We had a lot of laughs, and discussed many different things. First and foremost, of course, we dished about the new iPhone 3G. Here s a peek at some of the other products we talked about. Tengu Here we have a cute little white plastic brick with a face made of LEDs. The tiny microphone in the base picks up sounds in the room, whether it’s music, or your loudmouth boss, and makes his mouth move in time. It’s like he’s lip synching to the song! Kinda like Britney, only much much smaller, and probably smells better. He’s USB powered, so plug him in to any powered USB port, set him near your favorite sound-source, and your little buddy will perform for you all day long! USB Humping Dog It doesn’t serve any purpose, but it’s what they do. They are insatiable. And that’s all we really have to say. Harley is brown and Duke is black, and you can take your pick. Oh, and don’t worry - if the kids ask what the doggie is doing to your computer, just say, “He’s trying to jump over the computer, but he got a little stuck,” or “The computer is giving him a piggyback ride.” Either will suffice. We, of course, had to talk about live streaming. I explained to Leo that I love leaving the stream running all the time for many reasons. You never know what will happen at any given time throughout the day. You can see bloopers, chat it up with the Mods, watch me lose my patience and sanity, and even help me out when I m stuck. Leo said that I am his inspiration for his own live streaming. He said he caught what we were doing here one day, and thought to himself this is what I need to be doing! . It was great spending some time chatting one-on-one with Leo again. Keep your eyes and ears open. You never know when and where it could happen again.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I ll miss my iPhone. I will no longer be using it as my primary communications device. We ve had really good times together. We ve had good conversations together, and sent many a great text message. There s nothing wrong with my iPhone. It s just not for me anymore. We ve grown apart, that s all. I m breaking up with my iPhone. It s true. I won t be using it anymore. Maybe Wicket will want it. Instead, I ll be using my iPhone 3G!!! Oh come on. You should have seen that one coming. You ve been watching me wait for the 3G to get here for how long now? I gotta tell you. I m happy with the upgrade so far. It s not a dramatic upgrade, no. My initial impressions are good. For the most part, it s a good experience. Instabilities abound, many of which have been noted on iPhone and apple-related sites and forums. The hope of the community is that Apple will be releasing a firmware update at some point in the very near future, to clear up some of the hiccups that people are experiencing. Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again. Phone Make a call by tapping a name or send a text with the intelligent keyboard. iPod Enjoy music and video on a widescreen display and shop for music with a tap. Internet Browse the real web, get HTML email, and find yourself with GPS maps. What s new in the iPhone? 3G Speed 3G technology gives iPhone fast access to the Internet and email over cellular networks around the world. iPhone 3G also makes it possible to do more in more places: Surf the web, download email, get directions, and watch video — even while you’re on a call. Maps with GPS Find your location, get directions, and see traffic — all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever. App Store Tap into the App Store and you’ll find applications in every category, from games to business, education to entertainment, finance to health and fitness, productivity to social networking. These applications have been designed to take advantage of iPhone features such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, wireless, and GPS. And some are even free. You can download them wirelessly and start using them right away. There are so many more things, as well. You can check them all out for yourself on the Apple website, or in any Apple store. I m telling you. The iPhone is changing the way we communicate, work and play. If you have the 3G already, what are your initial thoughts? If you don t have one yet why not?
