| 2 Greasemonkey Scripts to Permanently Highlight Websites in Google Search Results Posted: 06 Dec 2010 05:30 PM PST
We have already seen a few examples of how the addon can enhance your Google searching experience: there are a number of user scripts that let you remove redirects from Google search results; there are at least 9 scripts that make your Google searching more productive and there’s also a cool script that lets you highlight Google search results on the target page.
1. Highlight Multiple DomainsLocate Multiple Domains in Search Results is a Greasemonkey script based on this one that allows to highlight multiple domains in Google search engine results page. You can set the domains to highlight as well as the colors by editing the script. To edit the script, go Greasemonkey -> Manage User Scripts, select this one and click “Edit” button. The script should open in your preferred editor where you need to scroll down to this lines to edit and add your domains and colors:
Note: For less clutter, consider setting same color for all your favorite domains if you don’t really need to differentiate between them. I selected three different colors and here’s what I saw for my choices in Google search engine results:
Known issues:
2. Tuned Google ResultsTunes Google Results is another very interesting script that, among other features, can highlight several domains in Google results. Besides that, the script also:
The most interesting feature of this script is that it allows to easily jump between your chosen domain in Google results using the navigation links to the right:
I found that it’s a very handy way to click among your favorite domains while navigating through Google’s results pages. As mentioned above, to specify your favorite websites, you need to edit the script in your preferred HTML editor:
Also, the script adds new search operators, which you can use in queries:
Known issues:
Do you think these scripts add something new to your Google searching experience? Can you think of the ways these tools might turn really useful? Let’s discuss! Do you like MakeUseOf articles? Don’t forget to share our articles with others! It’s really important to us.

| 2 Free Applications You Can Use To Convert F4V Videos Posted: 06 Dec 2010 03:30 PM PST
However, if you fancy editing this type of video, even simple edits like trimming, you might have a hard time finding compatible programs as not many any video-editing software available for free, can handle it. Most software that claim to do this are of the commercial variety, which you’ll find roaming the web and Google search results (try MakeUseof’s master list of search tips).
Avidemux [Cross-Platform]I first expressed my satisfaction with the open-source Avidemux video editor, noting how it could embed subtitles in MP4 and FLV files, file types which the more commonly-used application for permanent subtitle “burning”, VirtualDub, doesn’t support (while it can do plenty of other tasks, like merging multiple videos). It actually can also read F4V files. If you have some experience using VirtualDub, you probably won’t have much trouble using Avidemux. If you’ve never used it, here’s a quick rundown. After you open the video you want to use, Avidemux initially will ask you whether you want to use another non-crashing mode, but since it might also lead to changes applying to inaccurate frames, I usually choose ‘No’.
You might also get a warning about rebuilding your frame index, which you can usually just click ‘Yes’ to.
Then you can apply filters to your video (using Xvid or Divx), which means you can trim it, or embed subtitles, as detailed here, and finally choose an output format.
Free Video To iPhone Converter by DVDVideoSoft [Windows]The generic name of this application may not hint at specific file formats, but rest assured, it does handle the file type in question. There’s a collection of video-ripping and converting software from this software publisher so just perform a search on CNET’s download.com for your specific device. Make sure to opt out of the DVDVideoSoft toolbar, unless you desperately want your homepage and default search engines to be changed to DVDVideoSoft’s web search.
As the name suggests, you’ll be able to convert the video to an iPhone-friendly MP4. This converter is simple as simple gets. You can choose 3 quality presets that change settings for formats according to the device that the video destined to reside in. There are the standard options to mass convert and to turn off the computer once conversion is completed, but there are also some unique features — namely, the ability to add converted videos to a new iTunes playlist, change the theme, and the fact that it’s available in 12 languages.
Now, I’ve only seen listed these two which worked great for me, but you might have luck with other video converters. I know I tried Hamster Video Converter and it couldn’t open this file, while I did have more luck with Daniusoft Video Converter Pro, which is paid. Surprisingly, I did get a few converters that don’t actually list F4V in their supported file formats to read it fine, so I’d recommend trying whatever converter you have first. If you want to skip conversion altogether and own an iDevice; try these recently-featured free apps, VLC and OPlayer. If you know of an alternative for Android handsets or know of converters that support F4V, share it with us in the comments! Follow MakeUseOf on Twitter. Includes cool extras.

| UC Browser Provides a Feature-Packed Mobile Browsing Experience On Multiple Platforms Posted: 06 Dec 2010 01:30 PM PST
The browser is available for Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile devices as well as the iPhone. There is also a lightweight Java version available in case you’ve not got the latest in mobile technology. Oh yeah, and it’s free – of course!
FeaturesMuch like the popular Opera Mini mobile browser, UC Browser doesn’t handle each destination within the application. Each request is handled by a server, compressed and sent to the phone. This essentially provides you with a fast, thin client perfect for use with mobile data plans.
As you’d (probably) expect by now, there’s multiple tab support and unlike Bolt Browser, you can have a whopping 12 open at a time. There’s also direct in-built support for searches too using your choice of Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask.com as an engine.
The mobile web browser’s home screen is an attractive and responsive hub with fast access to some oft-used services. You can pin 4 bookmarks to your home screen, and access to the rest of your favourites are only a click away. The rest of the home screen is essentially made up of recommendations, and despite the odd dead link is functional with services like Orkut, GetJar and Zedge a few taps away.
There’s a couple of what seem to be sponsored links at the bottom, but they’re pretty easy to ignore and it’s free after all. UC Browser 7.4 is able to tackle full web-pages, as well as the mobile web. You would probably be disappointed if it didn’t, considering most of the latest built-in mobile browsers do it by now. With this feature you’ve got the choice of multiple view modes for full web pages, to facilitate viewing on a tiny mobile screen.
Zoom mode (above) is much like Opera Mobile’s handling of web pages, providing vertical and horizontal scrolling and with text formatted so that it can be read easily. Adaptive mode (which is UC Browser’s default setting) removes the need for horizontal scrolling and works by stacking web content into one vertical stream. I personally really liked this feature, as I find myself constantly moving the screen left and right whilst browsing with Opera Mobile – and the option of turning it on and off allows you to make your own mind up. This isn’t all – the browser is absolutely jam-packed with other features. There’s even a file browser for sending files via Bluetooth (which I barely looked at, as most phones have that one covered), a night theme for dimming the screen in the dark (many phones also do that), quick sharing via SMS, and a powerful download manager that has a handy resume feature. PerformanceStarting UC Browser takes only a few seconds, and it’s generally very responsive. The home screen is easy to understand and provides for a nice clean interface and supports multiple themes.
Navigation is handled using the bar at the bottom of the screen, which acts as a context menu with different options appearing depending on what you’re doing. Whilst browsing a website you’ll have five options available – back, forward, menu, open tabs and home. The menu button brings up an overlay menu with three separate tabs – Common, Settings and Tools. This is essentially the inner workings of the browser, and where you can make changes to the way the browser works.
Rendering is very fast on mobile sites and still quite speedy for full websites. I’ve not got my stopwatch out, but UC Browser is pretty much on a par with Opera Mobile (which makes both valid, speedy solutions). There’s flash support (at least on the Symbian version I tested) for sites like YouTube, though I found I sometimes had to refresh the page in order to get videos working. Flash is not immediately loaded with the page, and you must select the object to load it.
Support is there, if a little flaky. Download UC BrowserThere’s a total of five different versions of UC Browser available for download, depending on your phone’s operating system:
ConclusionUC Browser provides a well rounded mobile browsing experience that handles nearly everything you throw at it. Video support could use some work, but that’s my only real complaint. The attractive interface, speedy rendering and sheer number of features makes this mobile web browser stand out as a real contender. The added bonus of compatibility with older mobiles means you can enjoy this one even if you’ve not got the latest smartphone. Let us know what you make of it and how it compares to your current favourite in the comments. Got Questions? Ask Them Now FREE on MakeUseOf Answers!

| Let Your Reading Experience On The iPad Go Social with Copia Posted: 06 Dec 2010 11:30 AM PST
Available as a free iPad app [iTunes link], as well as a free desktop app, Copia is accessible at home, on the go, and gives you a way not only to download and read eBooks, but allows you to also catalog your actual library of books. While Copia’s library is significantly smaller than its competitors, its social network features make it an interesting option to keep in mind as its virtual library grows.
Your library can be displayed either as a mosaic, as a list:
Or as a grid:
Even if books are not available to download as eBooks for Copia, you will find that titles are catalogued anyway, allowing you to add it to your library as books that you have already read or want to read.
In this sense, Copia becomes a little bit more like GoodReads, where you can still add books to your library, and show off just how well-read you are. It is also accompanied by a community rating and value, which we assume is determined by the number of users who have catalogued and rated the title. To rate a book, you can only do so from the website itself, rather than on the iPad app or desktop application. From there you can also share the title through Facebook, add a review, start a discussion or even check out the Google Books preview, if available. You can start or join groups, with existing groups including Books For Geeks, Armchair Journeys and groups for fans of specific authors from Douglas Adams to Shakespeare.
You can use these groups to share thoughts and start discussions about the books you are reading, and it can also serve as the motivation that you need to finish the book that you’ve started. Copia introduces a unique opportunity to start a reading club, whether locally with your friends, or even with a group of people from all over the world. When it comes to reading the book itself, rather than using the same page flipping method as Kindle and iBooks, you have to scroll the page up and down to navigate. The app supports landscape and portrait mode.
You can create notes for specific pages, that will be visible on the Copia website, by clicking the pushpin icon.
This can also be done for specific passages, by highlighting the passage and clicking the highlight icon. That said, to highlighted the desired passage is anything but user-friendly, particularly in landscape mode. When in portrait mode it’s a bit easier to get the exact passage you’re going for.
All of your notes can be accessed from the Notebook tab, regardless of which eReader you are using.
< Along with their iPad app, Copia is currently available as a desktop app available as a free download for Mac and PC users, giving you the added feature of importing PDF files from your computer to read on the go, once you sync your device. Windows 7 and Android apps are in the making. Using your free Copia account makes it easy to sync all of your titles on your devices, so that not only will you have access to the same titles, but you will also be able to access your bookmarks and annotations.
Copia is not without its kinks. The interface can sometimes be less than user-friendly, and the swiping method used to get from page to page is not very intuitive, especially if you have become accustomed to the Kindle or iBooks apps. However, if they continue to add more titles to their library, it could easily become an ideal way to take book clubs into the virtual world. What is your favourite way to read eBooks?

| Make Free Calls from Your iPhone With The Official Google Voice App Posted: 06 Dec 2010 10:30 AM PST
I’ve been using my Google Voice (GV) number primarily as a second contact number for which family and friends can reach me when I’m a way from my phone and working on my computer. I also post the number on trusted website forums and registrations.
How It WorksIn order to use GV on your iPhone, you need of course to have a Google Voice account. Once you're set up, you will be able to use your provided number to make online phone calls, receive online voicemail, and make free calls and text messages to the U.S. and Canada, as well as make low-rate calls everywhere else. After your account is set up, you can download the free app for your iPhone [iTunes Store link]. The app interface works similarly to the web platform. When you make a phone call using Google Voice, it first rings back the designated number of your iPhone and then it makes a call to the contact you're trying to reach. You're not charged by your carrier—in this case, AT&T. Similarly, when someone wants to contact you using your Google Voice number, your regular iPhone number is called by Google, which in turn reconnects you to the caller if you accept the call. Your GV number is displayed as the caller ID when making calls, so the contact never sees or knows your regular iPhone number. You can make phone calls from contacts in your iPhone address book or simply enter numbers on the dial pad.
Forwarding CallsI mostly don’t answer my Google Voice calls immediately. Instead, I have numbers forwarded to me via email. These emails will include not only the voice message, but also a written transcription of the message. The transcriptions are not always accurate, but they're great for seeing phone numbers spoken in the message. There are other call forwarding features you can do with Google Voice, but unfortunately you can't do them on the mobile platform. See Mike Fagan's article on how to set up call forwarding with Google Voice. NotificationsIf you want to be instantly notified when voicemail messages arrive in your Google Voice inbox, you will want to allow the app to send you push notifications, which means the app doesn't have to be opened in order for you to receive notifications.
Otherwise, you will have to open the app to find out what new messages were received. Other FeaturesWhile the Google Voice app doesn't provide you the ability to set your custom voice answer message or filter phone incoming numbers; it does allow you to star important messages, set up quick dialing for specified contacts, and view the history of your phone calls and messages — both received and initiated by you. Google Voice is pretty easy to use and as long as the service is free, there's little reason not to set up an account and use it. Hopefully, in future updates, Google Voice will be available for use on the iPod touch and iPad, just as Skype is. It shouldn't be too difficult to set up the app as a VoIP/SIP dialer. Also, note, there is a third-party app called GV Mobile+ [App Store link] that sells for $2.99. I have not used that app, nor do the features seem that different. Let us know how Google Voice works for you, both on the web and via your iPhone or other mobile device.

| 10 Spelling Bee Game Websites That Helps Your Child Spell Words Right Posted: 06 Dec 2010 09:30 AM PST
You would think that getting the right spelling wouldn't be important enough to warrant competitions that are fought tooth and nail. In fact, Spelling Bee contests are not only keenly fought in many English speaking countries but also broadcasted live in some just like a regular sports event. That proves something as simple as getting the spelling right has enough of crowd pulling power. Though children form the main focus group, a lot of the competitions are open for adults too. Think of spelling tests as a necessary requirement to get the language right. Or think of them as brain exercises. Either way, they are an important part of our vocabulary training.
Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee
The well known online word app throws two challenges – a Tournament Spelling Bee and the Community Spelling Bees. In the former, your goal is to get as many right spellings you can to move up the leaderboard. It is challenging because the words also adapt to your performance. You will hear the recording of the word and see its definition before you guess the right spelling. As the test is adaptive, it is suitable for all age groups and skill levels. In the Community Spelling Bee challenge, you can do the same thing but on word lists created by subscribed members. The Times Spelling Bee
You can have a feel of a real world Spelling Bee competition on this U.K. based site. The Times also hosts the U.K. edition of Spelling Bee (The Times Spelling Bee). The Spelling Bee Training Area is a bit unforgiving as one mistake gets you the boot. If you do well here, try out the Spelling Challenge and any of its three levels. Then in Head to Head you can invite a friend and have a face-off. Round it off with more word workouts available on the website. Tumble Bees
The Pogo.com word game takes your help to build a honeycomb for the bees with the rightly spelled words. Each word you make correctly will fill the honey pot with honey. You can sign up for free or play it as a guest. As a reward you get tokens. BigIQKids
The free spelling game gives your child a bit of spelling practice. The Spelling Program uses word lists to simulate a live word test and to help the child practice. You can also create your own word lists. Then for a spot of fun, you and the whole family can take part in the Spelling Game Contests on the site which is playable by grade level (with one for adults). Catch the Spelling
Hone your spelling and vocabulary skills on the lineup of word tests. It is fun too as you have to catch the letters to spell the word given on top of the screen. Other catching exercises like Voice of America (VOA) Special English Nouns or the ones that cover other word categories. Spin and Spell
This is a simple enough Flash game where a word has to be spelt correctly by looking at a picture. You have to spell it out by 'dialing' a wheel and selecting the right letter. This game can be played alone or with a friend. The simplicity of this game makes it just right for the very early graders. Spelling Bee Games (TVO Kids)
The bee makes a return and claps along as you go through 25 words. It's just 'buzzerific' if you manage to get them right. For a few pointers on how to play the game with your child, read the instructions for parents. YouTube Interactive Spelling BeeWe have covered this unique interactive spelling bee challenge in Angela's excellent post on The Top 10 Interactive YouTube Games. Christy Carlson Romano gives you 100 words from 20 different categories and you get to help the contestants by clicking one among three choices on the screen. The interactive spelling bee game is really fun as it is laced with humor. Miss Spell's Class
You can go for the $0.99 iPhone app or be a Scrooge and play it online for free. Either way it's a boost for your spelling prowess. The 20 word challenge tests both your speed and accuracy as you have to decide which of the words in the list are misspelt. The word practice is pretty handy for a Spelling Bee contest as the lists generally have the more commonly misspelled words on Dictionary.com. Merriam Webster's Spell It
This site could be your authoritative practice area as it is a collaboration with the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The study site gives you 1150 words, divided into sections by language of origin. The site says that – studying language of origin will enable you to learn and remember several important rules, tips, and guidelines for successfully spelling words in English. The site is not actually a game but a study course for acing the Spelling Bee competitions. The seriousness with which these websites approach spellings makes one realize that spellings are not only for textbooks and school graders. The importance of language and words can be gauged from the numerous word apps on the web. In fact, check out these two Android apps too if you have a fetish for getting your spellings right. And if things get too wordy, learn a bit more and laugh with this Spelling Bee YouTube compilation via ESPN. Image credit: Shutterstock Do you like MakeUseOf articles?

| Break Free From Cables With The Eye-Fi Geo X2 Posted: 06 Dec 2010 08:00 AM PST
It’s a tedious rigmarole — after snapping your photos, you’ve got to get home, whip out the sync cable, copy your images over to the desktop, and organise it before you get to enjoy the wonderful images that you shot. But with the Eye-Fi card, most of the work is done for you automagically. The Eye-Fi product that we’re looking at this month is the Geo X2 — a 4GB SD card that has Wi-Fi and a GPS module built-in. It goes for around $70 but guess what? We’re giving some away.
In addition to all that, it also has a feature called endless memory — without having to manually delete any photos from the Eye-Fi Geo X2, it very cleverly frees up space after successfully delivering the photos to your desktop.
And over on the desktop side, your photos are intelligently organised into folders chronologically. And might I impress that all this is done automatically while the Eye-Fi Geo X2 card is still in the camera. No cables are required.
The Eye-Fi Geo X2 will work with any camera and any wireless network. Although, a little setting up is in order upon initial use. This entails using the provided SD card reader to connect the Eye-Fi Geo X2 to your desktop and configuring the network connection settings to allow the card to properly connect to your home wireless network.
However, the Geo X2 does have a few drawbacks i.e. it doesn’t allow transfers of RAW images nor does it transfer photos over an ad-hoc connection. But both of these requirements are usually demanded by professionals, who should get the Pro X2 anyway. So a casual photographer who doesn’t deal with RAW images or ad-hoc networks doesn’t have anything to worry about.
The Eye-Fi Geo X2 card does come with a desktop client which handles the synchronisation process and image sharing features. The setup file for the client is on the Eye-Fi Geo X2 itself so you won’t need to download anything, unless there’s an update. The instructions that come along are quite clear about what you need to do to get things moving along.
Once the desktop client is installed, it is always on and awaiting any possible transfers. As long as a new photo is taken with your camera (and the Eye-Fi Geo X2 card) and is powered on within the range of your home Wi-Fi network, the desktop client will retrieve and save the images to your computer.
We’re giving three of the Eye-Fi Geo X2 cards away. Would you like to get one? How do I win one?It’s simple, just follow the instructions.

| Store Confidential Details on your Phone with SafeWallet [MakeUseOf Giveaway] Posted: 06 Dec 2010 07:30 AM PST
When it comes to keeping track of your secure details, SafeWallet has you covered across multiple platforms — including your smartphone! So, you can enter in bank details, passport numbers and even more trivial details like clothing sizes. These are all kept safe from prying eyes, yet convenient for you to access when you’re out and about. This week, MakeUseOf is giving away 25 combination copies of SafeWallet for both your desktop and mobile so you can benefit from this incredibly useful phone and desktop application. Give it a go! FeaturesMulti-DeviceSafeWallet is available for Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, Symbian and Blackberry. This makes it incredibly versatile, so you can easily add information to SafeWallet using your PC and access it later on your phone. Easy to useSafeWallet is very easy to use. Once installed on your phone, Mac or Windows device it is fairly straightforward to create a new wallet, some sub-folders and enter some new cards. Start with just one wallet on one device, as you can sync them later very easily. A new card is made for each secure item you wish to document, eg. social security number, credit card, frequent flyer number, etc.
There are also numerous templates for cards ready for you to use, which also serves as a reminder for important numbers you might want on hand. You may also create templates for cards — those made on your computer will be available on your phone for future use.
To copy data from a card, try clicking in the field. For other useful tools related to that data, look to the right of the information and you will see device-specific icons to send email, browse addresses or make a phonecall.
Wi-fi SyncTo sync your devices, there are two main options. The basic sync is to sync via your local wi-fi network. When your computer and smartphone share the same wi-fi network, you can navigate to the sync screen on both devices and it will share the wallet with the other device (For Android use Menu > Sync; For Windows use File > Settings > Sync or Tools > Sync Manager). Whenever you want to re-sync, simply follow the same process.
Cloud Sync with DropboxA more automated sync process is to use Dropbox. However, don’t sync with Dropbox as well as the wi-fi sync as you will end up with multiple copies of your wallet. To sync with Dropbox, visit the settings/preferences menu on each device and check the “Store Wallets in Dropbox” option (For Android use Menu > Settings > Dropbox; For Windows use File > Settings > Library). On a computer where you already use Dropbox, there’s no need to enter more details. The application simply finds your Dropbox folder and uses it. On the phone, you will need to log in to Dropbox via the SafeWallet application.
Once this Dropbox setup is complete, changes on any device automatically reflect in the others quite soon after the change is made. So, it’s effectively a multi-device automated sync. Try SafeWalletThis handy application definitely worthy trying, as is such a simple and painless answer to the problem of storing your important confidential data on your phone. If you miss out on the giveaway, SafeWallet is available with a free trial for your computer and a modest fee on Android and iPhone. How do I win a copy?It’s simple, just follow the instructions.

| Facebook Launches New Profile Pages [News] Posted: 06 Dec 2010 07:00 AM PST
A few hours before Mark Zuckerberg was scheduled to appear on 60 Minutes, the blogosphere was buzzing with the news of major changes coming to Facebook profile pages, with the news program touting the fact that the first exclusive look would be on their show. We didn’t have to wait long to get a first-hand look, with Facebook officially launching the latest changes before Zuckerberg’s appearance.
You can also highlight specific relationships, whether with family, friends or coworkers.
Another interesting addition is seeing how you connect with each of your friends, including pages and people you have in common, photos you’ve been tagged in together, events you’ve both attended, and wall posts and comments on each other’s profiles. Basically any interaction between you and each of your friends is documented on a single page.
