If you are a mac user this site is something you need to know about.  There are tips that are updated constantly throughout every day and some you may have already known, but others you will be surprised to learn.  One of the most useful tips that surprised me was the ability to use your Facebook chat with iChat.  All you have to do is setup a few quick things with the iChat server, and you are done. Each post is put into a category such as, web browsers, 10.6, iPhone and much more. This allows for easy access to what concerns you.  Additionally, there are help forums for any problems you have with your mac computer or apple product.  Everything from applications to X11 can be discuss there, and there is a section for any feedback you'd like to give out about the site.
          Also, the tips aren't always given by the writers themselves, but you can submit your own.  The writers will check it out and post it if it works.  I visit this site everyday, because they always have something new for me to learn.  I have subscribed to it in "My Blog List" so you can see the latest tip there or you can subscribe to it yourself.  Obviously if you use Windows the site wont be of much use, but you can still find out new things about your competitor.
          Thanks for reading and as always, if you have any comments or questions please leave them.

          If you didn't know, there is a way to download different parts from a website using Safari.  Such as an image, .GIF animation, .SWF animation or even a video.  If you click on "Window" in the top menu bar and then "Activity", you will see all of the contents of the website(s) you are looking at.  It may not seem useful, but it is a great simple way to download a video from a site such as Youtube.  When you are on a website with a video you want to download, you just go to "Activity" and look for that video file.  Make sure that you are looking at the content of the page with the video because "Activity" will show every window or tab you have open.  Now to locate the video, you just have to scroll down slowly and pay attention to the file sizes while you scroll.  For the most part, everything should be a few kilobytes (KB) or bytes until the video.  The video will normally be the largest file you see, that is in megabytes (MB).  With Youtube you will have to wait until the video has fully loaded until you can download it.  So it will look something like "4.0 of 11.0 MB", until it has fully loaded the video.  Once it is finished you just double click the file in "Activity" and it should download to your desktop.  I've noticed that some files download as a flash file (.FLV) or mpeg4 (.MP4), so you can use your own video converting software if needed.  Now this wont work with every site, because some sites are more protected than others, so don't expect to download everything you see.  I find this very useful instead of downloading some other software to just simply download videos from different web pages.  What do you think?  Did you already know this? Please leave any questions or comments below and thanks for reading.

          

          Creating my own website has been something i've always wanted to do.  And I have started but have had a lot of trouble because of my little experience with html coding.  While looking around for help on various websites, I stumbled upon W3Schools.  I was amazed on the helpful tips that were given, as well as all of the coding examples you can try for yourself.  It is a completely free site that teaches you HTML, XHTML, Javascript, DTD, and much much more.  It has helped me so much because I was having trouble with flash videos and after going to that site, the problem was solved.  

          You don't even need to use your own HTML code software with some of the tutorials.  There are numerous of "Try-it-yourself" examples that allow you to use their online text editor to test out things before putting it onto your website.  So if you put a little time into reading some information from the site you will be able to create your own website like a pro.  Now when you create an amazing website, don't forget to mention who told you about the site (just kidding).  

          So go on and design your personal web page.  You don't even need a fancy HTML code software, you can start it in a simple text editor.  For Windows users: Notepad and for Mac users: TextEdit.  Just save the file as .html and there you go.  Here's the link: W3Schools Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them.

        

          Lately I've been interested in finding ways to stream music to/from portable devices and computers, I recently found Lala.  Lala is an online music store that allows you to buy web songs/albums.  Web songs are only 10 cents to buy and you can listen to the song as many times online (not a download) and a web album is the same, but range from around 50 cents to $1.50.  What is even better is that buying a web song or album, deducts that cost from the full download.  So if you wanted to listen to a new song or album online for awhile before making a full purchase, you won't have to worry about paying twice for something you already have.  I have actually found that most individual songs are either 79 cents or 89 cents, with very few 99 cent songs.  Even albums are occasionally cheaper than other music stores like iTunes and Amazon.
          Now what does all of this have to do about streaming your music?  Well every song or album you buy is put in your online library.  You can go on any computer, sign into your account and start playing a song.  So simple and nice because of the easy access.  However, the fun doesn't end there because you are also able to upload your music library from your computer.  With the free Lala Music Mover application, you just effortlessly select your music folder and it does the rest of the work.  So you can have access to your entire music library from any computer with internet (and flash).
          Since it uses flash you can not use Lala with a mobile device (at least not yet), but with Lala's merger with Apple there may be hope for an iPhone app soon.  So tell me what you think of it.  I'm definitely going to be using this site often for my music purchases.  Thanks for reading and I hope this was useful to you.  If you do want to sign up, please use this link: Sign Up 

          FeedMyInbox is one of the simplest websites to use.  All you need is a website that has an RSS feed (look for the blue or orange icon in your url address bar) and an email address.  You type in the website and your email address and hit submit.  You should get a confirmation email, and you will receive an email about your site within 24 hours of confirmation.  It is useful because there are some news sites that I will forward to my phone so I can read it when I want.  This is free and requires little work to setup.  Check it out for yourself with the provided link above and get daily news delivered right to your email.
          And with my post on how to Receive Email on Any Phone, this is available to everyone.  If you have any comments please leave them below and thanks for reading.

          Then you need to keep your eye on these sites.  AppShopper and 148Apps, they both post apps that have recently changed in price.  As well as provide ITunes store links so you can easily download them.  It's perfect because for people like me who don't want to spend a lot of money (if any) on apps, they save me from spending when I don't need to.  I've downloaded about 15 different apps that would have cost me around $20.  It's really smart shopping and every Ipod touch and Iphone user should know about it.  Everything from GPS, games, and utilities apps are shown on the sites.  So you may find an app that you've never even heard of or thought of.  Each site is updated daily, so you wont miss a thing.
          Just think of all of the money you'll save.  You could use it to buy a case, so you can prevent scratches from your very precious and delicate device.  Just thought I'd post this quick notice so you readers could start keeping money in your wallet.  Thanks for reading, and as always feel free to leave a comment or two.
