Search for Glory

2008-07-26T17:30:01-05:00

Has anyone tried this online game?

Beside shooting blood everywhere and doing quests for others, talking to monsters that I’ll never find in real life ... I found this game interesting for surviving ( although are lot’s of topics to be covered ).

A difference from Wikipedia ( you only have content ) this game kind of force you to read about topics / ideas / concepts ( learning without knowing it )

Idea of the game: Win credits for solving questions and use the credits to post your own questions for other users to solve!

Take a look around you can find the concept useful for you.

Isis Dei Memory Foam MacBook sleeves any good?

2008-07-10T16:02:18-05:00

Hey! I just became a member of applelinks and was wondering if anyone has ever purchased an Isis Dei laptop sleeve. I love their designs but I haven’t heard much about the company or their products for that matter. Anyone have any opinions? I came across their website last night (http://www.isisdei.com). Thanks in advance!

Here’s one from apartment-dweller land:

“...It’s a Talking Clock..!”

A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a
couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his
bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.

“What’s that big brass gong?” one of the guests asked.
“It’s not a gong. It’s a talking clock,” the drunk replied.
“A talking clock? Seriously?” asked his astonished friend.
“Yup,” replied the drunk.
“How’s it work?” the friend asked, squinting at it.
“Watch,” the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave
the gong an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back. The
three stood looking at one another for a moment.

Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed:

“You @$!#%&*!..it’s Three-Fifteen in the morning!!”

How to Put TV shows on iPod and Play iPod On TV

2008-05-26T05:17:27-05:00

There is a guide about how to download TV show for free, put TV show and free movies music on iPod, and play iPod on TV without Apple TV.

It includes four parts:
Part one: How to download TV show for free.
Part two: How to put TV show on iPod.
Part three: Where to download free movie for iPod.
Part four: Play iPod on TV without Apple TV.

[B]Part one[/B]: How to download TV show for free.
For iPod users, you can buy one episode at a time or a whole season from the iTunes Store and you can watch on your iPod, computer, or widescreen TV using Apple TV, but it cost $1.99. If you feel it�s trouble to download TV show from iTunes, you can follow this guide to download TV show for free.

Here�s a quick video tutorial on how to download TV shows for free:
http://www.cucirca.com/2007/12/28/how-to-download-tv-shows/.

[B]Part two[/B]: How to put TV show on iPod.
After download TV show on your PC, please take your time to put TV shows to iPod, coz iPod can only play MP4 and H.264 video, but many TV show play as AVI format, even some shows plays with BETA and World Cup play as HDTV, so you need some thirty part
software to help you rip DVD and convert video to MP4 video, and then sync it to iPod via
iTunes. I highly recommend the Daniusoft DVD to iPod Suite, it can easily rip CSS copy
protected DVD to iPod and convert WMV, AVI, MOV, FLV, DivX, XviD video to iPod touch/ Nano/ Classic with high quality.

Here is the official download site;
And the official step-by-step guide about how to put dvd video TV show to iPod.

You just need to Install and run it, click �Load DVD� to import DVD or click �Load file� to add
video file (or TV shows). If you don�t want to convert the whole DVD, you can click �trim� to cut segment you like. DVD regular have many chapters, if you want to join them into one
file, you can pitch on �Merge into one file�, and your iPod can display only one image of whole movie as in music.
But don�t forget that it�s legal convert DVD to iPod for personally not any commercial purposes.

Part three: Where to download free movie for iPod.
There are some free movie websites for movie fans to download movie for iPod and other
players.
ShowStash: Lots of popular TV shows, cartoons, etc.
Mefeedia: “Find thousands of video blogs (video
podcasts), and watch them on your computer, video iPod or PSP.”
The Internet Movie Database: Movie reviews, information about upcoming movie premieres,
movie clips, and more.
Free Public Domain Movies and Documentaries: Free movies and more, all available for free download.
iFilm: One of my favorite places on the Web for great videos, trailers, etc.
Here is a listing of free movie download webistes.

Most of downloaded movies are AVI file, you can use [B]Videora or Daniusoft DVD to iPod
Suite[/B] to convert AVI video to iPod video.

[B]Part four[/B]: Play iPod on TV without Apple TV.
This part is about how to play iPod on TV without Apple TV. As you know, Apple TV is a
connector which allows you to stream media files from your computer and view iPod video on TV. You can also store the media files on the unit’s hard drive, but the current price of the unit is $300 more or less. So, the article helps you play iPod on TV so you can watch iPod video on TV for free. And you also can watch the video here to know more Why Apple TV is pointless if you’ve got an iPod.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXd66cNZYD4.

It just includes three steps:
Step 1.take a composite video cable. As picture follow:

Step 2, simply plug one end of the cable into the headphones port on iPod and the other end into TV. There is a little problem to plug the composite video into TV because you can’t plug it in like you normally do.

Here is the diagram helps explain what cables go where in TV.

In fact, the plugs on TV will be in this order: Red, White, yellow. Plug the cables in this
order: yellow, White, Red. Now you’ve got the cable set up.

Step 3 , set iPod on TV up. Don�t worry, it doesn’t hack the iPod and everything goes safe.
From the main screen of your iPod, go to ‘Video’ -> ‘Video Settings’. Scroll to TV Out and make it ‘Ask’ instead of ‘Off’.

Then, 1) Scroll down to TV Signal and make sure its NTSC if you live in North America/Japan or PAL if you live anywhere else.

2) So after you’ve set iPod on TV up, back out to Video menu and go pick an iPod video to watch. I chose an episode of Family guy protect Lois Hi.

3) Before the video starts, select ‘TV On’ , turn on TV and go to wherever you go when you use your video games, VCR, etc.

Hi,

I’m new to this forum and to Mac OSX so I hope I posted correctly. (I recently got a Mac Air)

1.) I would like to be able to see ALL files and extensions when I open finder BUT I do not want to see these extensions on my desktop with the .apps extensions or see .DS_Store (or any . files) on my desktop. Is this possible and if so how?

2.) Is it possible to modify the menu bar located at the top of the screen - how?

3.) Whenever I use a usb key it will auto create a bunch of . files (ie: .Trashes, .Spotlight, .fsevent) - is there any way to prevent this and how?

4.) I do not use Spotlight and have followed instructions that I googled to stop Spotlight and prevent creation of the .Spotlight-V100 files - but it doesn’t seem to work as it continues to create .Spotlight files after I delete them and also on any usb keys that i connect. Spotlight seems to have a mind of its own!!

Thanks for any helpful replies.

headphone/audio out jack fried?

2008-08-01T00:04:26-05:00

All of a sudden the headphone jack on my MacBook Pro shorted out or something. No sound at all. At first I thought it was the speakers, but I plugged those into my portable cd player and they worked. Then I took some headphones and plugged those into the MacBook and there was no sound on those either. The headphones also worked on my cd player. Anybody else have this problem? My MacBook is still under warranty for another year and I assume that would be covered, but I was just wondering if anybody else has had similar problems.
