			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few short years ago it would have been a pipe dream to think of  following information on TV shows through your phone or computer, much  less watched them there. Even when smartphones began to roll out, it was  something most could only yearn for.</p>
<p>Now, it is a pretty standard part of life. We watch television  streaming online all the time. Companies are starting to offer more  content on such sites as <a href="http://machoarts.com/10-tips-for-creating-memorable-marketing-campaigns-using-youtube">YouTube</a>,  Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Comcast Xfinity. Not to mention all the  unauthorized streamers that have popped up all over the web.</p>
<p>No longer is it a matter of where to find <a href="http://blog.psprint.com/printing/why-i-dont-trust-tv/">TV</a> content, but who has the best app for the job. Sticking with the legal  ones, here are the five best authorized apps for streaming your favorite  TV shows, both old and new.</p>
<h2>1. <a href="http://showtime-app.com/">Showtime</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-apps-to-keep-up-with-your-favorite-tv-shows-01.jpg" alt="Showtime" width="550" height="381" /></p>
<p>One of the most well know premium channels out there, Showtime has  offered some incredible shows in the last several years. &#8220;The L Word&#8221;  and &#8220;Dexter&#8221; are two examples of wildly popular ones that were  considered instant hits. If you have a love for these shows and want an  app to help you watch them, and you have a subscription to the service,  try this download. It is a nice, streaming app free to subscribers and  it is smooth and easy to use.</p>
<h2>2. <a href="http://www.matcha.tv/">Matcha</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-apps-to-keep-up-with-your-favorite-tv-shows-02.jpg" alt="Matcha" width="550" height="227" /></p>
<p>Find ratings, catch up on missed shows and create queues on this  website. User friendly and simple to use, it has remained a favorite for  years and will continue to be over time. It has a nice system that  tells you what you have yet to watch, so you don&#8217;t have to keep track  when you fall behind or start on a series that has been running for  awhile or already finished.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="http://www.tvrecaps.com/">TV Recaps</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-apps-to-keep-up-with-your-favorite-tv-shows-03.jpg" alt="TV Recaps" width="550" height="247" /></p>
<p>This is a good place to learn about where shows you want to watch are  located on the web. It goes by episode, providing you with a list of  links to choose from in a similar way to sites like SideReel or  ProjectFreeTV. There isn&#8217;t much to it, but if you want a simple master  list for your favorite shows, this is a great place to go.</p>
<h2>4. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hulu-plus/id376510438?mt=8">Hulu Plus</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-apps-to-keep-up-with-your-favorite-tv-shows-04.jpg" alt="Hulu Plus" width="550" height="379" /></p>
<p>Hulu is quickly becoming one of the biggest streaming websites  around. The Plus service allows you to get a wide access of content,  such as full TV shows and even series for viewing, for a very low price.  Right now they are giving new users a month-long free trial, so check  them out. The app is available for both Apple and Android, as well as a  desktop app.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netflix/id363590051?mt=8">Netflix</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-apps-to-keep-up-with-your-favorite-tv-shows-05.jpg" alt="Netflix" width="550" height="382" /></p>
<p>The biggest online rental service around, the instant streaming  service is both cheap and fantastic. Of course, they don&#8217;t provide new  shows but they are quick to update series once it ends. They also have a  ton of movies. Their app is one of the better ones, and of course you  can easily stream them through devices onto your TV.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Piracy online is a hot button topic, especially since laws like SOPA  and ACTA have been argued or enacted. But there are plenty of safe,  legal ways to watch your favorite shows. What are some of your favorite  sites? Let us know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you obsessed with <a href="http://creativeoverflow.net/unusual-color-combinations-to-make-website-design-unique-and-unconventional/">color</a>?  Maybe you find yourself daydreaming about color palettes and schemes or  making mental notes of combinations you just feel work. Or you could  always be seeking out that next great hue to use in some kind of  personal or professional project.</p>
<p>You aren&#8217;t as strange as you might think. Plenty of people absolutely  love color, and they look out for it all the time. If you are an iPhone  owner, you can use your smartphone to help fuel your obsession, such as  through these five excellent apps offered through iTunes.</p>
<h2>1. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/color-stream/id327350953?mt=8">Color Stream</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-iphone-apps-to-color-inspire-01.jpg" alt="Color Stream" width="550" height="380" /></p>
<p>An excellent (and free) app, Color Stream allows you to create unique  color palettes using several different tools. They can be easily  generated from scratch, through using the color schemer or by drawing  the colors out of photos taken from the web or through your iPhone  camera. <a href="http://www.chethstudios.net/2011/07/tips-tricks-and-tools-for-planning-your-color-scheme.html">Color palettes</a> can be saved, named and rated, so you can sort them more efficiently.  They can also be shared by placing them in your photo library, where  they can be emailed to any contact.</p>
<h2>2. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cliqcliq-colors/id291725775?mt=8">cliqcliq Colors</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-iphone-apps-to-color-inspire-03.jpg" alt="cliqcliq Colors" width="550" height="391" /></p>
<p>Originally, this ran with Colors, a company that helped designers  create color palettes through their site. But the company is closing in  August and will not be available after that point. However, the app  itself is still great. It is a useful generator that lets you pull  colors from images or make your own hues and then save and send them to  email addresses, photo-editing software and sharing sites like Flickr.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="http://www.code-line.com/software/colorexpert/">Color Expert</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-iphone-apps-to-color-inspire-02.jpg" alt="Color Expert" width="550" height="424" /></p>
<p>One of the more feature-heavy color apps out there, it is also more  costly at $9.99 for the download. But the tools are more advanced and  powerful, which makes it worth the cost. You have an interactive color  wheel with easy hue and shade selection with different types of color,  which can be saved. Then there is the ability to tap to draw a color  from any image, including those you take while in the app. There is a  great feature that gives you access to Pantone&#8217;s swatch library, as  well.</p>
<h2>4. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/picture-effect-magic/id392277683?mt=8">Picture Effect Magic</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-iphone-apps-to-color-inspire-04.jpg" alt="Picture Effect Magic" width="550" height="391" /></p>
<p>One of the best photo editing and effect apps on the iTunes market,  this isn&#8217;t just for color. But it allows you to manipulate and play with  color, bringing some out and drawing back the rest to black and white.  It can be a great way to take photos and isolate hues and shades.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clairevue/id438182255?mt=8">ClaireVue</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-iphone-apps-to-color-inspire-05.jpg" alt="ClaireVue" width="550" height="391" /></p>
<p>Another interesting photo app, this one will give you a new angle to  use for viewing colors. It works by taking pictures in the dark and can  actually draw out some really cool hues that you might not have  otherwise seen. It is amazing what differences there are between one  color in the light and in the dark.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>There are a lot of photo apps around, but not so many involving  color. These are the best I have found, even though there are a few good  ones that are available internationally. Sadly, some of those don&#8217;t  work in the United States at the moment &#8211; fingers crossed that they will  soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Combining Facebook and the Apple iPad is like adding chocolate syrup  to already delicious ice cream; two awesome things coming together tend  to result in only more awesomeness! While it is definitely possible to  simply surf to Facebook via an iPad browser, a whole world of fun and  useful functionality is waiting to be unlocked by the right apps.</p>
<p>More than a few of them are available in iTunes to access the world&#8217;s  favorite social networking site; here we&#8217;ll help you narrow down five  of the very best!</p>
<h2>1. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mypad-for-facebook-twitter/id412133981">MyPad App</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-best-apps-to-facebook-on-your-ipad-01.jpg" alt="MyPad App" width="550" height="298" /></p>
<p>Endorsed by Wired Magazine as the best app for Facebook on the iPad,  there is no question as to why MyPad is the most popular Facebook app in  the iTunes store. Where even the official Facebook app fails to offer  the new timelines feature, MyPad takes the functionality and excels,  offering a stream of cover photos in a way not possible even on the  Facebook web site. Chat, a much-maligned missing feature for Facebook  users on an iPad, is built-in and an included browser handles any  external links you may come across.</p>
<p>MyPad also serves as an award-winning Twitter platform for the iPad, an added draw for users of both social networks.</p>
<h2>2. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friended-for-facebook/id418446347">Friended App</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-best-apps-to-facebook-on-your-ipad-02.jpg" alt="Friended App" width="550" height="399" /></p>
<p>Offering a unique column view allowing for heaps of data to be neatly  presented on a minimal screen, users with a large circle of friends and  those who use Facebook for extensive content consumption will find the  Friended app invaluable. Built specifically for the iPad&#8217;s screen real  estate and touch functioning, there simply isn&#8217;t a Facebook app  available for the iPad today that beats the excellent interface offered  by Friended.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/facely-hd-for-facebook-chat/id392550341">Facely HD App</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-best-apps-to-facebook-on-your-ipad-03.jpg" alt="Facely HD App" width="550" height="356" /></p>
<p>Speaking of <a href="http://www.orphicpixel.com/the-essential-basics-of-usability-testing/">usability</a>,  Facely HD is an app aimed at making life simple for the average  Facebook user through a large and easily navigable interface. It&#8217;s crisp  and over-sized layout is fully skinable to give it a unique look and  always makes for simple Facebook surfing with a negligible number of  distractions.</p>
<p>Facely HD doesn&#8217;t stop with its pretty look, though; full-featured  chat (missing in the official Facebook app) is available along with push  notifications for messages, friend requests, chat notifications, pokes  and more, meaning that you are alerted to your friends&#8217; actions faster  than with any other Facebook app; faster even than surfing Facebook.com  on a PC!</p>
<h2>4. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658">Friendly App</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-best-apps-to-facebook-on-your-ipad-04.jpg" alt="Friendly App" width="550" height="301" /></p>
<p>Many Facebook users are photography buffs, visiting the site to share  their latest pics with friends, family and fans. For the photo lovers  out there is the Friendly app, a Facebook app with a fun twist for  images that gives you the ability to add cool effects to your pictures  before adding them to your Facebook albums, including options such as  black and white, mirror image and sepia tone, along with 13 others.</p>
<p>Additional exclusive features of the Friendly app include multiple  logins, allowing you to share your iPad with other Facebook users with  zero disruption to your account, and the ability to edit profile details  via a nifty included browser.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facebook/id284882215">Official Facebook App</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-best-apps-to-facebook-on-your-ipad-05.jpg" alt="Official Facebook App" width="550" height="378" /></p>
<p>The original Facebook app available in the iTunes store gets an  honorable mention here for its official status and high-usage. Covering  all typical uses of Facebook save for chat, the official app is, of  course, free and will suit the needs of many non-power users with its  simple interface and intuitive functioning. If no bells and whistles are  required, you may find this app is all that you need.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The Facebook app you choose will end up being based on your  individual needs, and don&#8217;t forget that multiple apps can be installed  to serve multiple functions, if necessary. If an all-purpose app like  MyPad doesn&#8217;t have you covered, there are always specialized apps  available in iTunes to help you cover all of your favorite Facebook uses  on your Apple iPad. In any event, it should be clear to everyone that  there is just no need to settle for the Facebook experience within a  mobile browser!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://musikki.com" target="_blank">Musikki</a> is a new musician directory which combines information from YouTube, Last.fm and more. On a typical Musikki page you can find music vides, tour dates, maps for tour dates, bio, twitter conversations, discography and more.</p>
<p>Musikki seems like a pretty good idea, but it feels like a cheap version of Last.fm at the moment. It needs to be a little more than just a simple music directory / search tool.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-15154" title="total.slacker" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/total.slacker-577x295.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="295" /></p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 102px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;">If typing “Artist Name” and “Band” into Google is way too much effort  for you, it might behoove you to check out Musikki, a search engine  especially for bands.Although simple — and still in the beta stage — <a href="http://www.musikki.com/" target="_blank">Musikki</a> is an odd delight to use: Simply search for a band to surface videos,  tweets containing the band’s name, Last.fm events, bio, discography and  photos.</p>
<p>Also — and this is probably the coolest part — the service suggests  similar or related artists. A search for “Total Slacker” reminded me of  the existence of Philip Seymour Hoffman (the band), which I promptly  downloaded.</p>
<p>One can also share band search results via Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<p><img title="total.slacker" src="http://5.mshcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/total.slacker.jpg" alt="" width="639" height="327" />Again, Musikki is nothing fancy at present, and still appears to have  some bugs — a search for “Man Man” delivered The Tallest Man on Earth’s  discography — but it’s definitely an amusing way to cruise for music.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there&#8217;s one thing that CES is good for, it helps build up feverish anticipation for the latest consumer gadgets soon to hit the market in the coming year. Many devices stood out during this year&#8217;s convention, but few garnered as much critical praise as the <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/best-phone-of-ces-2012-nokia-lumia-900/6392">Nokia Lumia 900</a>. It&#8217;s got the goods required to make it one of the top-selling smart phones of 2012, and can easily do so as AT&amp;T&#8217;s network continues to improve. Why is the Nokia Lumia 900 so widely-lauded? Let&#8217;s take a look at the relevant information, and you can decide for yourself whether or not the hype is justified.</p>
<p>Hardware and Features</p>
<p>Under the hood, the Lumia 900 boasts a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm CPU, 512 MB of RAM, and 16 GB of on-board storage. It sports front and rear-facing cameras as you&#8217;d expect from any phone, as well as a few aesthetic touches that are lacking in other phones on the market at the moment for the same price. One thing that strikes you immediately when seeing the Lumia 900 for the first time is its effortless class. It just looks solid, despite the lack of brushed aluminum. It&#8217;s one of the slimmest smartphones phones available on the market, and comes in a distinctive cyan tone that&#8217;s tough to forget.</p>
<p>Software, UI, and More</p>
<p>Once released into the wild, the Lumia 900 will be running the excellent <a href="http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/reviews/2011/10/real-competition-from-redmond-windows-phone-7-mango-reviewed.ars">Windows Phone 7.5</a> operating system, one that&#8217;s gaining market share and consumers every day. According to <a href="http://www.mbaonline.com/">MBA Online</a>, Understanding market context is necessary for implementing innovative products. Microsoft understood that a competitive operating system today needed visible icons and informative home screens, and Windows Phone does just that. That alone should give potential buyers a reason to at least give it a shot. Aside from WP7&#8242;s technical merits, it&#8217;s particularly peppy on the Lumia 900. Microsoft doesn&#8217;t really get enough credit for WP7, because it really is a decent operating system. It looks great, and performs even better. It&#8217;s a bit of a change of pace from Android or iOS, but it&#8217;s well worth making the effort. Mango&#8217;s tile-based interface is easily one of the slickest mobile experiences you can get nowadays.</p>
<p>Network and Carriers</p>
<p>Like the Nokia Lumia 710 before it, the 900 will come on AT&amp;T&#8217;s still-evolving 4G network. At present, the 4G layout of AT&amp;T&#8217;s wireless setup is obviously behind that of Verizon. However, that&#8217;s hardly the drawback that many make it out to be. AT&amp;T offers much the same speeds that can be achieved in certain areas on Verizon, though that&#8217;s more or less only applicable in urban areas. Elsewhere, you&#8217;ll have to rely on Ma Bell&#8217;s 3G HSPA+ service to get you through the night. Still, 3G with AT&amp;T can be appreciably better than with other networks, as some field tests will attest.</p>
<p>Final Thoughts</p>
<p>The Nokia Lumia 900 has many things going for it, and none of them are particularly superlative in their own categories. The hardware isn&#8217;t dominant, the operating system isn&#8217;t Android, and AT&amp;T isn&#8217;t really the best 4G network. The Lumia 900 is generating such massive levels of enthusiasm due in large part to its flawless execution. Some times these things happen by design, and other times by happenstance. Regardless, the Lumia 900 running WP7 is one of the most promising phones of 2012. Absent a gigantic solar flare that renders the world&#8217;s telecommunications infrastructure useless, it&#8217;ll be a hit because it&#8217;s one of the best overall phones to come along in a long time.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of problems people can have with their eyesight.  They might be colorblind and so have trouble viewing certain sites. They  could be legally blind and so unable to see anything, instead using a  reader to help them navigate the web. Or, they could just have vision  problems or &#8220;old eyes&#8221;, their sight deteriorating over time.</p>
<p>Whatever the case, if you are one of these people you might be  wanting to make your computer a little more user friendly. Here are a  couple of handy tools to help you along.</p>
<h2><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/">NoSquint</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-tools-for-those-with-poor-eyesight-01.jpg" alt="NoSquint" width="550" height="315" /></p>
<p>Are you tired of having to squint your eyes at the computer screen?  Do you find yourself unable to turn the font size up high enough? This  Firefox addon allows you to zoom in and out of sites either globally, or  on a per-page basis. You are able to override the default of the site  on text only and full page formats, and change foreground and background  colors to your specifications.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/readpal-reader-tool-helps-focus-reading-windows/">Readpal</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-tools-for-those-with-poor-eyesight-02.png" alt="Readpal" width="550" height="336" /></p>
<p>Whether you have poor eyesight or difficulty focusing on text, this  program for Windows can really help you. It isolates text and  restructures it in an easier to view format that will keep you  concentrating and reducing eye strain. It can be applied to compatible  Windows applications such as Word, Notepad, Internet Explorer and  Outlook Express.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/firefox-address-bar-font-size/">Size Firefox Addon</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-tools-for-those-with-poor-eyesight-03.png" alt="Size Firefox Addon" width="550" height="371" /></p>
<p>URL&#8217;s are hard to read at the best of times, but when you have  trouble with your vision it is especially difficult. The address bar can  be increased, however, using this nifty little add on. It is compatible  with the latest version of Firefox, and there is no configuration  needed. Just download it and enjoy the larger URL bar.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.vischeck.com/">Vischeck</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-tools-for-those-with-poor-eyesight-04.jpg" alt="Vischeck" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p>Are you making a website and you want to make sure colorblind users  are able to view it? Vischeck is an excellent program that simulates  colorblindness in various forms, showing you want sites and images look  like for someone who cannot properly process certain tones and shades.</p>
<h2><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/readable/">Readable</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/5-tools-for-those-with-poor-eyesight-05.png" alt="Readable" width="550" height="383" /></p>
<p>This is a default format override addon for Firefox. It allows you to  choose the layout, background color, font color and size of text and  images. They have a manual select feature for simplified versions of the  same text, as well.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to strain your eyes or avoid certain sites. These  tools are great for increasing the readability of any web page. What are  some of the tools you use? Let us know in the comments.</p>

<p>Besides, in the world of satellite radio and in-car MP3 players, who  listens to the AM/FM format while driving anymore? But I, like most,  still love traveling by car, and so traffic jams are always a risk.  Checking the net for traffic information isn&#8217;t helpful if you can&#8217;t do  it on the road, with conditions changing through the day and a sudden  accident enough to lock up a freeway for hours.</p>
<p>That is why I have turned &#8211; as I so often do &#8211; to my Android phone  and the many apps that have been created to maximize convenience in  today&#8217;s busy world. It is great that they now have traveling and traffic  apps, because this smartphone is in my hand so often that my family  probably thinks a prankster has super glued it there.</p>
<p>Here are some of the best apps for avoiding traffic jams to download onto your Android phone:</p>
<h2>Google Maps For Mobile</h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/New/road-trips-01.jpg" alt="Google Maps For Mobile" width="300" height="487" /></p>
<p>Price: <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/">Free</a>!</p>
<p>This can officially be labeled a classic choice. Google is the single  largest web company around, and they are famous for their many  products. One of their most used is their Google Maps, which you can now  get on your phone.</p>
<p>You get the usual features of looking up any area on a map grid, but  there is also a navigation aspect that they have on the program itself,  which will give you good directions. It will also let you know of any  traffic problems in the area so you can find and follow an alternative  route.</p>
<h2>Waze Mobile<strong></strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/New/road-trips-02.jpg" alt="Waze Mobile" width="300" height="451" /></p>
<p>Price: <a href="http://www.waze.com/download/">Free</a>!</p>
<p>A handy GPS unit, Waze is socially based, just like all of the  biggest Internet products. It works by allowing you and other drivers to  build interactive maps based on the on-board GPS unit in your Android  phone.</p>
<p>They have a navigation tool to plan rroutes for walking, running and  driving, as well as real time traffic updates to avoid trouble spots.  But it tends to have more information than some other apps, such as  information on local areas and a social networking feature.</p>
<h2>WHERE</h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/New/road-trips-03.jpg" alt="WHERE" width="300" height="450" /></p>
<p>Price: <a href="http://site.where.com/download-where/google-android/">Free</a>!</p>
<p>Where is like an all-in-one travel app. Not only does it give you  current traffic conditions updated in real time, but you can find local  restaurants, events, places of interest, deals and offers from nearby  businesses and more.</p>
<p>You can save personalized ”favorites” that keep track of spots you  visit often to target results when accessed, such as any accidents or  slowdowns on the way there.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a similar app for iPhone coming later this year from <a href="http://www.cheaphotels.org/">Cheaphotels.org</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get stuck in traffic, or stuck listening for a quickly-spoke  traffic report on the radio. If you have an Android phone, the details  are just a few clicks away. What are some of your favorites? Let us know  in the comments.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to entertaining or taking care of pets, nothing is too  much, not even the craziest iPhone apps for animal lovers! So if you  have a cat or dog and want to get familiar with some of the most popular  tools and apps used for improving their health and mood and for  immortalizing the best moments of your animal, take a look at the list  below!</p>
<h2>1. <a href="http://www.iphoneapps-home.com/pet-notebook-iphone-301255805.html">Pet Notebook</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-10.jpg" alt="Pet Notebook" width="275" height="395" /><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-11.jpg" alt="Pet Notebook" width="275" height="395" /></p>
<p>A fun yet very useful iPhone app for animal lovers, Pet Notebook  gives you the best tool for keeping your pet&#8217;s important information all  together:</p>
<li>Your favorite pictures, organized in a personalized library for each of the pets you want to keep track of</li>
<p>Flexible, resizable, editable and designed to store information for  multiple pets, this app is the ultimate organizer for pet lovers!</p>
<h2>2. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-pets-ask-the-vets/id428410673?mt=8">Ask the Vets</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-05.jpg" alt="Ask the Vets" width="550" height="397" /></p>
<p>By installing this app on your iPhone you get a professional  veterinarian&#8217;s opinion on any concern and doubt you may have regarding  your pets. The answers are provided by a team of specialists from the  Caldas Veterinary Hospital in Brazil, one of the oldest vet centers in  the world with more than  73 years of experience. Although you don&#8217;t have to pay for the  consultation itself, you are charged a variable fee depending on the  number of questions you ask.</p>
<h2>3. <a href="http://jive.me/apps/petfirstaid/">Pet First Aid</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-06.jpg" alt="Pet First Aid" width="550" height="327" /></p>
<p>Whenever you need some emergency information regarding your kittens  or puppies, this app is the perfect tool to use! Providing valuable  pieces of advice, pictures and detailed videos that explain you, step by  step, how to give your dog or cat the first aid when dealing with cuts,  bleeding, bruises, choking or shock. Very useful for anyone who wants  to be always ready to help their pet, this iPhone app is definitely  worth the money!</p>
<h2>4. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dog-translator-free%21/id351995731?mt=8">Dog Translator</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-01.jpg" alt="Dog Translator" width="550" height="397" /></p>
<p>As crazy as it sounds, this app does exactly what it claims to: It  translates your dog&#8217;s &#8220;words&#8221; and helps you learn the doggish language  for free! All you have to do is record your dog or puppy&#8217;s bark and then  let the app do its job and analyze the recorded sounds. In the end, the  Dog Translator gives you the English translation of your pet&#8217;s barks.</p>
<h2>5. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pet-acoustics/id333229175?mt=8">Pet Acoustics</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-02.jpg" alt="Pet Acoustics" width="550" height="398" /></p>
<p>Somehow similar to the previous app, Pet Acoustics gives you the  perfect sounds and music for your pets&#8217; entertainment. Whether you want  your cat to fall asleep listening to a calming and relaxing music or you  want your dog to get rid of all the stress caused by thunderstorms and  loud noises, this app is the best tool you can use.</p>
<h2>6. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/petsnap/id335303967?mt=8">PetSnap</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-03.jpg" alt="PetSnap" width="550" height="367" /></p>
<p>One of the best camera apps for taking snapshots of your cats, dogs,  horses or parrots, PetSnap is very easy to use and features more than  30 different sounds specially created to attract your pet&#8217;s attention  for the coolest pictures possible! From meows and woofs to bell rings,  this app provides all you need for creating wonderful photos of your  animals:</p>
<p>Among the possibility of styling your pictures:</p>
<h2>7. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/petcentric/id365214222?mt=8">Petcentric</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/fun-iphone-apps-for-animal-lovers-08-1.jpg" alt="Petcentric" width="550" height="398" /></p>
<p>Last on the list of fun iPhone apps for animal lovers is Petcentric, a  tool that helps you identify pet friendly locales in your area, whether  you look for hotels, bars or restaurants. You can also locate pet  stores and sitters, animal shelters, parks for dogs and cats, groomers  and vets or you can add new locations that aren&#8217;t registered in the app  already. Besides these features, the app also allows you to take  pictures, read articles or watch videos with useful information on your  pets.</p>
<p>There are, of course, lots of other apps you can use for keeping  track of your pets so it&#8217;s up to you to find the ones that suit your  taste and needs the best!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social sharing applications are starting to get more intriguing as new startups formulate novel ways of letting people interact and display their interests. While Facebook and Twitter are terrific ways for bachelor&#8217;s or <a href="http://www.mastersdegree.net/">masters degree</a> students to keep in touch with their friends and family, they&#8217;re not as interactive as other services when it comes to sharing. Many people are interested in what their peers are looking at, which is why social bookmarking platforms like Stumbleupon, Delicious and Reddit have become so popular. However the makers of Pinterest have taken this idea a step further by creating a visual bookmarking site that allows users to categorize web content by image.</p>
<p>What is Pinterest?</p>
<p>In a nutshell, Pinterest is a digital mind map that allows users to submit photos of products and places they find and like online. Once you&#8217;ve signed up and logged in, you can edit your profile to include interests and other information about yourself. Currently an invite-only service, those interested in signing up can request an invite either directly from Pinterest or from a Pinterest member. At present Pinterest is run by a seven person team, so resources are limited. However they are to refine the service before opening it up to the public.</p>
<p>How Pinterest is Different</p>
<p>Pinterest is fairly underground at the moment, but it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/if_youve_never_heard_of_pinterest_youre_a_big_dork.php">attracted a lot of interest</a> already from tech-savvy users and critics alike. Unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest gives you a number of options when it comes to discovering new content. A user can create collections of different items that they like, and other users can choose to either follow that collection or follow the likes of the person that posted them. Items posted on Pinterest can also be commented on by users, giving each collection a forum or community feel that&#8217;s lacking in Twitter.</p>
<p>Design and Layout</p>
<p>The design of Pinterest is similar to Google+ in many respects. The layout of the site strips away decorative elements and lets content speak for itself. It&#8217;s clean, simple and attractive, and is extremely fast and responsive in everyday usage. Every image post supports comment threads which you can expand by clicking on its tab. Likewise, the manner in which Pinterest is designed makes planning for events or compiling shopping lists easy and intuitive. Basically, Pinterest is a digital cork board that can be rearranged by using the built-in search capabilities to bring up new images.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18156" title="Pinterest" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Pinterest-547x450.jpg" alt="" width="547" height="450" /></p>
<p>Final Thoughts</p>
<p>Pinterest is a highly visual way of allowing users to find things that interest them in the quickest manner possible. These days, <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/06/rise-pinterest-shift-search-discovery/">the web is moving away from search and opting for discovery</a> instead. Thus, expect services like Pinterest to garner more interest from casual web surfers as they learn what such visual discovery tools can bring to the table. While Pinterest attracted an overwhelmingly female following at the outset, it&#8217;s catching on with techies and other demographics as well thanks to its innovative concept and design. You&#8217;ll no doubt be hearing more about Pinterest in the coming months.</p>

<p>There has been a lot of talk about Windows 8 recent, as it was announced that Windows Store will be integrated into all Microsoft products including Windows 8. However, when this was announced they accidently released that the Windows 8 beta will be available in late February 2012. Obviously Microsoft is yet to officially confirm this, but it is nearly 100% accurate.</p>
<p>This release date is much less consistent with a August or September release, so we are expecting Windows 8 to be officially released January 2013 (as seen with Windows Vista).<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is easy to become distracted from a project or task when working  online. The Internet is a digital playground for anyone, from children  to seniors, with everything you could want right there, a click away.</p>
<p>Checking email, chatting with friends, looking at amusing blogs,  playing flash games or MMORPGs &#8211; there are endless opportunities to  procrastinate. That really takes a chunk out of your productivity.</p>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/awesomely-simple-and-effective-productivity-tips-04.png" alt="Distractions" width="552" height="363" /></p>
<p>One of the most crucial elements of <a href="../2011/11/03/manage-your-time-creatively-using-photos/">time management</a> is staying on track. Every day, we waste time and money playing online  when we should be focusing on work. When that work is of a creative  nature, you are even more prone to coming across something way too  interesting not to lose focus &#8211; an impulse that has to be fought and  fought hard, especially when a deadline is looming.</p>
<p>But that doesn&#8217;t mean there is no hope. You can increase your  productivity and work without the distractions (or at least as many),  using these three tips and a couple of helpful tools.</p>
<h2>1. Use Distraction Management Tools</h2>
<p>The Internet has more than just interesting things to make you lose  focus. It also has tools to help you potentially combat that and get  more from your day. Many of them are even free and so can save you money  while you use them.</p>
<h2><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock/">LeechBlock</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/awesomely-simple-and-effective-productivity-tips-05.png" alt="LeechBlock" width="550" height="391" /></p>
<p>It would be really great if we were able to use sheer force of will  to keep us off of those sites that tempt us. But that just isn&#8217;t the way  it works, unfortunately. The draw of funny cat pictures and YouTube  clips can just be too much for us, and we find ourselves thinking, &#8220;Just  a few minutes won&#8217;t hurt.&#8221;</p>
<p>But then an hour passes, and we go into panic mode. It is better to  just block those sites that take up the most of our time, and LeechBlock  does that. You download it as a Firefox attachment, then put in the  blocked domains of your choice and the times that they should be locked  out. That includes a time limit to block them out, such as a certain  number of minutes per hour.</p>
<h2><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji">StayFocused</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/awesomely-simple-and-effective-productivity-tips-02.png" alt="StayFocused" width="550" height="348" /></p>
<p>This extension does essentially the same thing, but for Google Chrome  users. It limits the amount of time you spend on time-waster websites  that you have listed yourself.</p>
<p>You can configure it more actively by deciding if you want a  whole domain blocked or just certain areas, setting time limits for  certain activities and more. You just set the amount of time, and once  that has been used up you are done &#8211; it locks you out for the rest of  the day.</p>
<h2><a href="http://www.rememberthemilk.com/">Remember the Milk</a></h2>
<p><img src="http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q62/anya678/task-11-10/awesomely-simple-and-effective-productivity-tips-01.jpg" alt="Remember the Milk" width="550" height="252" /></p>
<p>Remember the Milk is a simple to-do list program that consists of dozens of options (online to-do list, task management, <a href="http://www.psprint.com/resources/printing-tips-and-techniques/calendars/calendar-printing-techniques.asp">calendars</a>,  etc) and syncs up with your smartphone, PDA, tablet and other software.  You set tasks on the program, it syncs with everything you register,  and then it reminds you when something has to be done.</p>
<p>As you go through your day you tick things off your list. It even has  an RSS feed tracker, a Gmail attachment and more. You will be amazed at  how easy keeping a list is holding you accountable for yourself during  the day.</p>
<h2>Schedule Your Work</h2>
<p>Setting a deadline is a great way of getting yourself on the right  track and staying there. It sets a time when something needs to be  started or done, and so you can just go through the motions. For  example, say you have to finish a concept design for a website you have  been commissioned for.</p>
<p>You might give yourself until the end of the week at 3 p.m. to have that concept design completed and sent out to the client.</p>
<p>Just make sure that your schedule is a realistic one and that  everything in your day fits into it. Too many people keep separate  schedules for work and home life, and then it gets thrown off when one  thing intersects with the other.</p>
<h2>Share Your Progress</h2>
<p>Finally, hold yourself accountable by sharing your goals and progress  with someone else. This could be another designer, a partner or just  your client.</p>
<p>Make sure to show the different steps as you go along, so they can  watch you making progress and you have someone to answer to. Another set  of eyes can really go a long way toward <a href="http://freelancefolder.com/freelancing-accountability-tips-to-help-you-stay-on-target/">making you work like you are supposed to</a>. That is an opportunity that isn&#8217;t often afforded to freelancers or people who work from home.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Don&#8217;t allow distractions to keep you down. But also, don&#8217;t allow the  project to become the distraction itself. Make deadlines, use tools to  keep you on track and share your progress. All of this will allow you to  spend the correct amount of time on each project and meet your  deadlines as you are supposed to.</p>
<p>Just imagine, never having to ask for another extension!</p>
