Here's an example:
If I wanted to share all of the non-Lifehacker Gawker Media sites with someone, I could simply send the following ShareTabs link: http://www.sharetabs.com/?gawker
When you follow that link, you'll see the page below.
Macworld details a simple keyboard shortcut that will launch iChat or Adium without logging into any accounts. The trick: Just hold down the shift key when you launch your respective IM app. Doing so will start the app offline. From there you can log into whichever individual account you want and control your status ahead of time. I tried this trick on Pidgin and Digsby to no avail and searched for similar shortcuts without luck. (If you know the proper shortcut, let's hear it!) It's such a smart and simple shortcut, and having been exposed to it, you can't help but wonder why all IM apps don't have this option.
FeedMyTorrents isn't the only web site of this kind—perhaps the most notable alternative being tvRSS—but it's a good deal more simple to understand and use than tvRSS. Where tvRSS has an undeniably larger collection of shows, FeedMyTorrents is strict about a duplication-free feed, meaning you don't have to tweak the feed or weed out downloads you don't want. Just pick the show you want to subscribe to, set it up in your BitTorrent client of choice, and you'll always have the latest and greatest episodes of your favorite shows as soon as they're available. Thanks Jason!
FeedFlix is a great tool to help determine if your Netflix subscription is worth the money you're paying. If it's not, you can save the cash by canceling your account or let FeedFlix help you stay on top of your rentals so you're making the most of your account.
This alpha mostly improves upon the speed, smoothness, and usability of Fennec's existing features, but the newest thing to try out are two recommended extensions that can be installed. URL Fixer attempts to auto-fix common misspellings entered by fat thumbs into the address bar (like Gogle.com, perhaps?), while AutoAuth simply adds password memory for sites that require authentication.
Hit the link below for free, no-install try-outs of Fennec Alpha 2 on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. If you happen to have a Nokia N815 tablet, you can install the alpha natively.
The Garritan Community Christmas album includes tunes from O Holy Night to Auld Lang Syne. What's most interesting is how they were recorded:
A community of musicians from all over the world met on the Garritan community forum and agreed to submit their own recordings of holiday music, to be freely distributed. Each of these orchestral recordings were made not with large live orchestras in vast recording studios at huge expense, but rather were created by a single person working on their own desktop or laptop computer. What they have in common is the use of Garritan libraries representing software musical instruments based on samples of real instruments.
Preview the tunes on-site before you download, then grab the entire album (with art) to add to your collection for free.

These quantum dots, as they're referred to, would theoretically fluoresce when hit by light packets, and serve as a light amplifier for retinal images. The patent says early tests on rats have been successful, as they showed improved vision over the control group. The upside is that this solution requires no power source, and can target specific areas of the retina, making it more of a reality than bionic eyes or begging for an eye cam.
