Download mp3, mp4 and other media files in a few simple steps.

Requirements

Assuming you have installed FireFox, go ahead and get downloadHelper and install the plugin.

That is it!

Next you need to find the media files. You can use online playlists like mixtape, or mp3 search engines like sadsteve.

The cool thing about DownloadHelper is that it recognizes media files on the pages as soon as firefox loads the page.

All you need to do is save the file to your local machine and you are done!

Downloadhelper can also convert media file formats. That is another topic for another post.

Consider donating or purchasing the upgrade version of DownloadHelper to help keep the good software updated and maintained.

This is what my uncle got for letting his teenage daughters run

Get Rid Of Your Back Pain (Don't Blame The Mattress/Bed)

8 out of 10 people experience back pain when they wake up in the morning.
The common cause of these pains according to most is;

I Slept wrong.
That mattress is bad.
The list goes on....

But consider that most of these people are more than likely 24+ year old and this is
not just a coincidence.
Younger people, seldom have these pains. For example kids can sleep in your bed(with the 'bad mattress'), on the floor, couch and just about anywhere and they won't wake up complaining.

Anyway save your money and pain because the problem is that you most likely have weak and/or unconditioned back and stomach muscles!
So the solution is to take 3 minutes of your day to make these muscles strong because they are
as they say YOUR CORE MUSCLES.

The following video has some good exercises that you can do to strengthen yourself and you can kiss the back pains away.

Of course Check with your physician first before you start any exercise routine.

Not only will you 'cure' the back pain, you will lose some inches and feel good everyday as a result of these simple routines. Start with the easy exercises then move on to the hard ones as you get physically fit. In the video, the exercise where you can use your couch or bed to do the leg lift ups is what 'cured' my back pain.

GM vs Microsoft

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and
affection for the way computers have enhanced our
lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX),
Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry
with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up
with technology like the computer industry has, we
would all be driving $2500 cars that got 1,000 miles
to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued
a press release stating: If GM had developed
technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving
cars with the following characteristics and I just
love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash
twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road,
you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway
for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of
the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car,
restart it, and reopen the windows before you could
continue. For some reason you would simply accept
this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left
turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to
restart, in which case you would have to reinstall
the engine.

5. Macintosh! would make a car that was powered by
the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice
as easy to drive -- but would run on only five
percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator
warning lights would all be replaced by a single
"This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation"
warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?"
before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car
would lock you out and refuse to let you in untl you
simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the
key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers
would have to learn how to drive all over again
because none of the controls would operate in the same
manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn
the engine off.

The car had better developed in the current pace

You saw a couple in an intimate pose, right?

Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.

What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture!

So, I guess we've already proven you're not a young innocent child... now... If it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted and you may need help .

The New Government People Tracking Tool will use DNA Sniffing

In a world where the government is looking for an easy way to track bad guys and criminals, there is research in all kinds of possible tracking people and basically invading their privacy.
There has been tremendous breakthroughs in the biomedical fields in part because of technology and surpringly, perl programming for DNA sequencing and searches.
As computer processors are getting faster and faster, it will not be long before small handheld computers will be able to be preprogrammed with DNA from a suspect or even, a suspects family member and the hand held devices can "sniff out" DNA from surfaces e.g. door handles and even the air in enclosed areas. DNA takes some time to process and once this time can be reduced and processing can be handled with a small device, then watch out for big brother.
With databases now within easy reach (cellphone and satellite), it will be possible to access these databases from basically anywhere.
There are some interesting devices and readings here .

Annoying Sales Representatives.

I am sure you have been to bestbuy, circuit city and other stores and everything was good until the sales person tried to sell an extra service, warranty stuff that you really don't need.
I happened to refuse an extra warranty ($200) on my new $800 laptop and the sales guy almost went crazy, he became an annoyance within no time.
I repeated that I did not want the warranty because the product has a manufacturers warranty. But he would not give up, he kept bothering me until he realized I was not going to get the warranty and that is when he started going around the store, talking to other employees.
It got to a point where he even refused to go get me the laptop from storage, his manager ended up doing it. I know I will not go back there (CompUSA).

Every month I also have to go through this: I walk into a cingular store where I usually pay at the paying booth. As soon as I walk in, there is a Bellsouth rep ready to start asking me if I want to bundle my services with them. They want to bundle my phone, internet and directv services. I used to listen to them, then end up declining but now they are really serious, because they insist on asking you for your phone number so that they can tell you how much you could be saving.

I have cable tv, cable modem, and bellsouth(for now) and I don't think I will be switching to bellsouth internet or direct tv. So I came up with an answer to one aggressive Bellsouth rep and told her I have Voip, so that she could just leave me alone. She was not pleased with that answer, she asked how long I have had it and I told her six months and she was quick to say that "yeah six months is about the average time that Voip starts getting bad" ?!! Just another sales rep who is bitter!

The reason I don't buy these extended warranties is because I bought a printer from office max for my job, it quit working after one year and I bought another one with an extended warranty because the sales rep told me that if I had the warranty for the old printer I would have got a new one, she even explained that with the extended warranty it is as easy as just bringing the bad printer in and getting a new one. So I kept my receipts and everything I needed and it just happened that the printer started acting crazy after a year.

When I took it back to office max, they said I have to mail in the printer, register it online and they will send me a gift card! I needed the printer right there and then for my boss. I did not want to go through all this mailing stuff as the sales rep had told me to just bring it for a replacement. So I ended up just going to staples and got a Canon (which we love at work) and mailed in the old printer. They did send us a gift card which we could only spend at OfficeMax.

Warning: stay away from the warranties unless you have extra money to give away. The sales reps get commisions on these warranties and I know some of you will say that is how they make a living but they should be more honest and they know we are suckers when we buy those worthless warranties.

So nowadays, my answers to "would you like to purchase and additional warranty on the product?" is NO because I will be using the product in Canada and to Bellsouth reps, I just tell them I have Voip and it has more services than Bellsouth for a cheaper price! And hope the sales rep will just leave me alone.

TI Graphing Calculator Emulator

VTI is a virtual Texas Instrument graphing calculator emulator. It can emulate any model TI graphing calculator. Currently, it will only emulate the TI-89 graphing calculator. I
Instructions

1. Download the self-extracting zip file here. Select Open or Run when prompted.
2. Extract the file to your Desktop (or your desired location). It will create a folder called TI-Emulator.
3. Run the emulator by double clicking the "Start TI-Emulator" icon inside the folder. You can drag this icon to your desktop and be able to start it directly from your desktop.
4. You can access the emulator options by right clicking on the graphing calculator.

This program apparently is written by a person named Rusty Wagner and I can not vouch for its accuracy. You should only use the ROM version if you own the graphing calculator.

TIVO or Cable DVR?

You have probably noticed that prices for TIVO have been constantly falling. One reason is because of the stiff competition that cable DVRs are giving them. Ok the services offered by cable DVRs are less than those of TIVO but cable does everything that you really need for a small price.
TIVO costs include equipment rental and then subscription, so it means double payment but you can get a rebate if you subsribe when you buy the equipment.
Cable DVR on the other hand is cheap because it is a rental of about $10.00 per month (that is it!), no equipment to buy while TIVO subscription is about $13.00.
Cable DVRs continue to improve and every new upgrade is available to you for no extra charge.
Clearly you should now see that cable is giving TIVO and Replay TV some serious problems and so you should shop around, compare specs and get your cable DVR for a cheap monthly price.
Also with the HDTV programming available, most cable DVRs can record the High Def content with no problem, no additional hardware required.

2006-02-04T05:52:00.000-08:00

We all know the best way to shop is to compare prices between the merchants. When buying electronics like TV's it is always best to compare prices online then go to your local store to see what the TV's look like, the picture quality and prices.
How do you get the best deal when buying a new digital TV to replace your analog box? First of all you have to make sure the TV have the right inputs and outputs because you don't want to go home and find out that you cannot connect other electronics without an adapter. Then check the picture quality and here Brand names do matter! I know some people believe a TV is a TV but even when at a store like Best Buy, if you look at two Tv's different brands and showing the same picture, there is usually a difference.
Also don't be fooled with the picture showing at the local store as the staff tweak and boost the signals to their display TV's for best effect. Same thing goes for the sound, they have subwoofers and other speakers connected and it sounds great at the store.
So basic minimum requirements: right screen size for your budget, the highest resolution you can afford, pc inputs, HDTV tuner built in, HDMI or DVI input, Cable card built in, digital audio inputs, the usual audio outputs with digital surround, and atleast dolby 5.1, memory card reader. Don't forget to look at the back of the TV to see what goes where and so that you have an idea as to the cables you will need.
I like the Sony projection LCD TV's, and the Samsung DLP Tv's, Sharp Aquos are also good.
Get the best deal by checking out the open box TV's, the prices are usually marked down way below list price. My friend got a 51 inch Hitachi for $750.00 and had been on display.
Checkout Sears, Best Buy, Circuit City and all other local stores before you buy.
