Keep A Tab On All Email Accounts With MMM-3 2007-07-11 00:46:00 Magic Mail Monitor (MMM) is a free POP3 mail monitor with multiple accounts support.

MMM works by taking a peek at the stored email in a mailbox, without downloading or deleting it from the server.

You can use it to read and send emails. When sending emails with Magic Mail Monitor you can use the contact list from Outlook. When you receive a new email, Magic Mail Monitor plays a custom WAV-file and shows an animation in the system tray. You have the option to open the new email with Magic Mail Monitor or automatically start Outlook and automatically open the email in Outlook.

See The World Through Binoculars 2007-07-10 12:09:00 Binoculars are two identical or mirror-symmetrical telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (Binocular vision) when viewing distant objects. Most are sized to be held using both hands, although there are much larger types.Binoculars give users a three-dimensional image: the two views, presented from slightly different viewpoints to each of the viewer's eyes, merge to produce a single perceived view with a sensation of depth, allowing distances to be estimated. Binoculars come with two types of focusing mechanisms. Most people opt for the center-focus model, which uses a centrally mounted wheel to adjust both eyepieces at once. There is also a separate adjustment for the right eyepiece, which helps to correct for any difference in near or farsightedness between your eyes. All binoculars are described by using a pair of numbers, such as 7x50 or 8x30. The first number, including the x, represents magni Read more:World

After Your Each Post, Ping Them Hard 2007-07-09 22:35:00 Most of the blog authoring tools automatically ping one or more servers each time the blogger creates a new post, or updates an old one.Open ping servers, like Weblogs.com and blo.gs, let other web-services subscribe to a list of blogs that have recently pinged them. Blog search engines can provide fresh results very quickly by polling only the newly-updated blogs. Similarly, aggregators use results from ping servers to tell subscribers which items on their subscription lists have fresh material. A few of the blog aggregators that can be pinged directly include: BulkFeeds, FeedBurner, Google Blog Search, IceRocket, Technorati, and Yahoo. In addition to open ping servers, there are an increasing number of proprietary ping servers that gather information only for their own applications. Most of the major blog search engines operate such ping servers.Following is a list of available ping servers -http://1470.net/api/pinghttp://api.feedster.com/ping.phphttp://api.moreover.com/RPC2http:/
A Nice List of Tech Blogs 2007-07-09 11:47:00 Micahville posted a nice post about the 69 Tech Blogs
That Don’t Suck. In this post the author listed 69 Tech blogs which is really a nice list, though we at The Digital World are very curious to know why he listed 69 and not 50 or 100. We at TDW too have our own list (with continuous addition and deletion, it is hovering some where around 80-90), and we have some common blogs . Lifehacker, techcrunch, gizmodo etc. will definitely appear in any list, but there are some other which are not so well known, but content wise they are deserving candidates.Definitely a page to be bookmarked.
ASCII Art 2007-07-09 04:15:00 Wikipedia says - "ASCII
art is an artistic medium that relies primarily on computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable characters defined by the ASCII Standard."ASCII art can be created with any text editor, and is often used with free-form languages. Most examples of ASCII art require a fixed-width font such as Courier for presentation.ASCII Art has a long history among geeks. Back in the sixties it became quite common to see computer generated images of well-known personalities made up of alphanumeric characters. At that time it was very time consuming process as one had to do it the hard way with typewriters, but now a number of softwares are available in the market which can create an Ascii art within seconds.My favorite is ASCII Art Generator . It allows you to convert any digital picture into a full-color or black & white text style easily and quickly. You'll be blown away by how cool, fun, and easy it can be with ASCII Art Ge
Google - Making Of A Giant - I 2007-07-08 11:28:00 In January of 1996, Larry and Sergey had begun collaboration on a search engine called BackRub, named for its unique ability to analyze the "back links" pointing to a given website.A year later, their unique approach to link analysis was earning BackRub a growing reputation among those who had seen it.In September 1998, Google
Inc. opened its door in Menlo Park, California. The door came with a remote control, as it was attached to the garage of a friend who sublet space to the new corporation's staff of three.Already Google.com, still in beta, was answering 10,000 search queries each day. The press began to take notice of the upstart website with the relevant search results, and articles extolling Google appeared in USA TODAY and Le Monde. That December, PC Magazine named Google one of its Top 100 Web Sites and Search Engines for 1998. Google was moving up in the world.Google quickly outgrew the confines of its Menlo Park home, and by February 1999 had moved to an office on Universit
Track Satellites With Gpredict 2007-07-08 06:33:00 Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application.

Now The iPhone Is On Hackers Hit List 2007-07-02 22:02:00 Less than 72 hours after the iPhone
's introduction, researchers have reported at least one flaw that could allow an attacker some level of control over the device, while other hackers have uncovered passwords hiding in Apple software that could prove key in gaining root access, they said. The most serious flaw, reported by Errata Security, resides in the iPhone's Safari browser. By effecting a buffer overflow in the application, an attacker can take control of the browser and run code on the device.Since Friday's release of the iPhone, hackers have raced to spot bugs in the device or get it to behave in ways its designers didn't intend. Researchers have yet to unlock the phone so it can be used on networks other than AT&T's or get it to run Linux, but they say they're making progress. They've also assembled a Wiki designed to foster the sharing of information relating to topics such as breaking the activation, unlocking the phone so it can run on multiple networks and allowi Read more:Hackers

Microsoft, Adobe in Battleground 2007-07-01 21:52:00 Microsoft has announced that it has chartered a new Technical Committee to submit a new standard to the standards-setting body Ecma International. The would-be standard involves "creating an XML-based electronic paper format and page description language that is consistent with existing implementations of Microsoft's XML Paper Specification (XPS)."Adobe
, of course, wants PDF to remain the dominant format for exchanging document information over the web and is even considering suing Microsoft over its efforts to establish XPS as a new standard by bundling an XPS document writer with Windows Vista (and Office 2007). Adobe has also submitted the PDF format for approval as an ISO standard.the outcome of this "standards war" is unlikely to affect the public in any significant way. Both Adobe and Microsoft are powerful software titans who wish to preserve their respective market positions. Adobe, for their part, has never opened up the whole of the PDF format—only a subset of its full fun Read more:Microsoft
Core 2 Duo Errata 2007-07-01 21:40:00 OpenBSD founder Theo de Raadt publicly denounced Intel’s Core 2 processors on the OpenBSD mailing list. Raadt cited 38 pages of processor errata from Intel’s published CPU specifications (PDF).Linux coordinator and former Transmeta employee Linus Torvalds, thought otherwise and considers these bugs “totally insignificant.” Processor errata is nothing new, Torvalds said. Commodity CPUs such as chips based on the Intel Core 2 architecture have a considerably lower bug rate than proprietary boutique CPUs.“Yeah, x86 errata get more attention," said Torvalds. "But those things are pretty damn well tested. Better than most.”The errata document specifically mentions the Core 2 Duo E4000, E6000, and X6800 series processors. None of the errata are nearly as insidious or widespread as more infamous problems, like the original Pentium floating-point bug, although some can lead to buffer overflow exploits, claims de Raalt. All of the current errata have patches in the w
Alt.Music Festival in July 2007-06-28 22:24:00 Auckland can expect unprecedented levels of diverse sound art and outsider music activity this July with imminent visits from internationally renowned sound artists for this year’s Alt.music festival.Alt.music is an ongoing series of audio events, regularly bringing a vital injection of contemporary sound art from around the world to New Zealand. Organised by the Audio Foundation, Alt.music began as an international festival of experimental music and sound art under ARTSPACE in 2001, followed by successive festivals in 2002 and 2004.Alt.music 2007 does not offer a unifying framework into which a genre (‘sound art’) is neatly packed. Rather, it attempts to disclose an – often clamorous - discursive space in which ongoing debate about what comprises an innovative art of sound can be publicly articulated. Aligned to such utterance is the experiential listening space, which is the ground where sound art thrives and where you, as listener, are given a chance via the live Read more:Music

Beat The Stock Market With Fibonacci Numbers 2007-07-12 03:54:00 The Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, even all of mankind, and STOCK MARKET!We all (almost) know that, after making sustained moves in one direction, markets tend to retrace a part of that move before resuming the move. Fibonacci levels provide insights used to forecast support levels and price targets, based on the strength of the move. Levels are generated using mathematical ratios discovered by Leonardo Fibonacci in the 12th century. The Fibonacci series is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144... and so on. The sum of any 2 consecutive numbers is the same as the next bigger number. The ratio between any number and the next higher number approximates 0.618 Read more:Stock

God Paints With Fractals 2007-07-11 09:43:00 A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole". The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured". A fractal as a geometric object generally has the following features-It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales.It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language.It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically).It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curves such as the Hilbert curve).It has a simple and recursive definition.During my graduation years we used to program in Turbo C, though there were limitations with the colors but fractal generations always attracted the best of comments.
