New Screenshot of Jolicloud Netbook Operating System

Netvibes founder Tariq Krim sent me a new screenshot of Jolicloud, the Linux-based Netbook-optimized operating system he’s building (we first covered Jolicloud last December).

The screen shot, which is significantly evolved from what we saw in Paris, shows a set of featured applications that mixes desktop and cloud software - Facebook, Skype, Meebo and Youtube, among others, are shown with large icons that make it easier on Netbook users, who have to make do with smallish screens.

Breathe new life into your old iPod - Make it an external drive

instead of coughing up the extra cash for a USB jump drive or external hard drive, why not breath new life into your old iPod by converting it into a combination of the two?

Putting your iPod into “Disk Mode” opens it up for use as a USB drive, and allows you to store basically anything on it:

1. Connect your iPod and computer, via the USB cable.

2. Restart your iPod before putting it into Disk Mode (hold switch must be off).

3. Press and hold the following combination (listed below) simultaneously for 15 seconds to reset your iPod. iPod 1G to 3G (scroll & touch wheel iPods): "Menu" and "Play/Pause" iPod 4G+ (Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select Center Button"

4. As soon as you see the Apple logo, release, and hold down the "Fast Forward" and "Rewind" buttons. This will put your iPod into Disk Mode (if your iPod did not mount on your computer, restart the computer).

5. Your iPod is now in Disk Mode, and should say so on the top of the iPod's screen. It should also be flashing the "Do not disconnect" icon.

6. Now you can surf the Internet and load it with portable apps, and begin to save all your photos, files, and music to your new portable disk drive.

Everyone Has Joined Michael Cera In 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World'

The fantastical and teen-angsty 'Pilgrim centers on a slacker who chases after the girl of his dreams, but has to thwart and battling seven of her evil ex-boyfriends all of whom possess special powers.

Michael Cera stars and Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the object of his affection. Evans and Routh play two of the evil boyfriends (#2 and #3 respectively), and Plaza and Larson both play Cera's ex girlfriends. Also joining the cast are lesser-known actors Mae Whitman (yet another -ex, she played Ann Veal on "Arrested Development," her??), Anna Kendrick (Pilgrim's sister), and Webber and Pill plays members of Pilgrim's band and Johnny Simmons plays their biggest fan. Satya Bhabha is yet another evil boyfriend.

On Friday, Dell quadrupled this to 256GB. The Samsung SSD is now available as an option on Dell's XPS M1330 and M1730 laptop lines.

Ricardo Montalban dies at 88

LOS ANGELES – Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, a city councilman said. He was 88.Montalban's death was announced at a city council meeting by president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor lived. Garcetti did not give a cause of death."What you saw on the screen and on television and on talk shows, this very courtly, modest, dignified individual, that's exactly who he was," said Montalban's longtime friend and publicist David Brokaw.

All Together Now!: 30GB Zunes Failing Everywhere, All At Once

tons of reports—tons—about failing Zune 30s. Apparently, the players began freezing at about midnight last night, becoming totally unresponsive and practically useless. Updated 12:00PMThe crisis has been dubbed by Zune users 'Z2K9', due to the apparently synchronized faceplantings across the country. According to tipster Michael, the Zune users experienced something like this: Apparently, around 2:00 AM today, the Zune models either reset, or were already off. Upon when turning on, the thing loads up and... freezes with a full loading bar (as pictured above).

Pre-Christian Alpine traditions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: 

"The word Krampus originates from the Old High German word for claw (Krampen). In the Alpine regions the Krampus is represented by an incubus in company of Saint Nicholas. Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly in the evening of December 5, and roam the streets frightening children (and adults) with rusty chains and bells. In some rural areas the tradition also includes slight birching by the Krampus, especially of young females."

Myst Online goes open source, fans to make their own worlds

Those fans will now have a chance to shape the future of the game, as developer Cyan Worlds has announced that the source code for the title will soon be released, giving fans the ability to mold and update the now-open source game as they see fit.

If I Die A Bacon-Related Death, I'd Like It To Be Because Of This

Although, I quickly followed that statement with "I'd like to try and see if I can eat this."

Turning the iPod Touch into a phone

The MP3 player can be transformed into a mobile phone with the help of a free app from Internet telephone company Truphone. The new app allows users with a Wi-Fi connection to make and receive phone calls via voice over IP with other iPod Touch owners, users of the Google Talk's messaging service, and customers of Truphone's Internet telephone service. The company said it expects to add the ability to handle landline calls.The app creates a virtual keyboard on second-generation iPod Touchs to dial calls and requires the addition of a headset and microphone.However, Apple doesn't appear to be too threatened by Truphone; the application is available for free download at Apple's App Store.

Hey You Guuuuyyyys! A New Electric Company Starts in January!

The new Electric Company will feature a group of four culturally-diverse teens—Lisa, Keith, Jessica, and Hector—who have powers to make and manipulate words in (educationally) cool ways. From a natural-foods diner, somewhere in New York City, they fight word crimes, particularly those of the mischevious (but not truly evil) Pranksters. Each episode will tell a story featuring these characters, with animated and live-action phonics lessons sprinkled in here and there, focusing on vocabulary. That's something the original show didn't really do, but that's another sign of the times, since PBS Kids' research has shown that kids today need a lot of help on that front. They have also, as with the original, made sure to make the show funny, because they know they'll hold kids' interest a whole lot better if they do. And there will, again, be someone in a gorilla suit making occasional appearances. (There've been rumors of Rita Moreno making a cameo on the new show, and I'm holding out a little hope for Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby, too.)
