Growl for Windows

Growl for Windows: "Keeping up with the Joneses. We all want the latest do-dad that the neighbors have; after all, who wants to be left behind? In the computer world, this is particularly true. New machines, new peripherals, new software—we want it all.

Mac users are probably familiar with Growl, the notifier app that gives you a heads-up when things happen on your system: a download is complete, a Skype call is coming in, that sort of thing. Well, now Windows users can take advantage of this same functionality with Growl for Windows.

You can configure this app for the type of notification you want—visual, audio, both—when a target event happens. The program that generates the event, whether a web browser, RSS feed aggregator, IM application, of something else, must be compatible with Growl for Windows for it all to work, but there are a fair number of popular tools that do just that, and they're adding new ones all the time.

Growl for Windows is a free download.

Twitter Guidelines

Today on the Twitter blog, the company wrote a post that was all of three sentences to let people know about their new logos. Yay!

But there's actually quite a bit more to it then it seems.

If you follow the link they provide to Guidelines page, you'll find some interesting tidbits. Among them:

• Don't: "Use anything other than the most current versions of the Twitter logos."
• Don't: "Use screenshots of other people's profiles or Tweets without their permission."

Both are interesting because both are broken all the time. Well, okay the first one doesn't quite count yet because Twitter just officially launched their new logos. But hundreds if not thousands of sites around the web have been using old or fake Twitter logos to represent the company for a long time.

The latter rule is definitely more troublesome. Tweets are known to be public items, but Twitter is saying you can't use screenshots of them without permission. We do this all the time. So does just about every other publication. We've never been told this is wrong, it seems to reek of fair use, but now Twitter is saying it's a no-no. (Update below from Twitter)

A few months ago, Twitter tried to come up with their own solution for this with their own Blackbird Pie tweet embed tool. It's interesting that in their post on it, they never said this screen-grabbing of tweets was wrong. In fact, they note "Mostly, we just think it's a pain to take screen grabs of tweets." Notice they call it a "pain", not "wrong".

Twitter does say it's fine to use others' tweets that you have permission to use. But again, isn't this stuff already public?

Also interesting:

• Do: Make sure that if mentioning "Tweet," you include a direct reference to Twitter (for instance, "Tweet with Twitter") or display the Twitter marks with the mention of "Tweet."

This would seem to be all about Twitter gaining the trademark to the word "tweet", which they've been trying unsuccessfully to do. They also later note, "Please remember to capitalize the T in Twitter and Tweet!" As a commenter notes, it's funny that they don't even capitalize it in their own logo!

Update: Okay, we've clarified some things with Twitter.

From their spokesperson regarding the new logos:

The purpose of the update was to provide access to our new resources and to better clarify some guidelines.

We're encouraging people to use the new marks. It's okay for them to continue to use the old ones, but we're hoping people will use the new ones. We said this before too, as this isn't the first time our marks have changed.

And regarding the screenshots:

This isn't a new part of the policy and was stated in the guidelines before. This serves primarily to protect users from their tweets being used as endorsements without their knowledge. Public tweets are public. But if you're going to use tweets in static form (e.g. in a publication), you should have permission from the author/user. For instance, if someone famous were to tweet about liking something and then it was used on a billboard.

This doesn't apply to broadcast — there are separate display guidelines about that. Our policies also don't attempt to control the appropriate use of tweets in news reporting.

That's a bit confusing (and I've asked for further clarification), but it sounds as if they won't be enforcing the rule for individuals (including reporters) taking screenshots of tweets. It's more for advertisers attempting to use tweets as endorsements without permission.

Update 2: More clarity from Twitter:

For news, whether online or print, it's okay to use screenshots of Tweets. The permission applies more to merchandise, billboards, etc. Users' rights are key.

In other words, screenshot away, bloggers. Which is good — but basically they're just saying they won't be enforcing the rules. That's still a bit troubling going forward. They could enforce them anytime — why not just make the specific rules more clear? This reeks of the legal department covering asses here just in case they have to drop a hammer.

Regarding the capital "T" in tweet:

We view Tweet as meaning content on Twitter, rather than a generic word. With that, it should be capitalized when it's a noun. This isn't new, and it's not something we enforce.

Again, that seems to be all about copyright — and mainly when used in publications.

Fw: How to Boost Your BitTorrent Speed and Privacy

 

By Whitson Gordon How to Boost Your BitTorrent Speed and Privacy BitTorrent's been around for a whopping ten years, but it continues to evolve and remains one of the best file-sharing tools available. If you really want to make your downloads soar—and keep Big Brother out of your business—this guide's for you. We showed you how to get started sharing and downloading files with BitTorrent a few years ago, and most of that still applies, but if you're looking to up your BitTorrent skills, things have changed a lot since then. In fact, some of you may find BitTorrent a bit old school for your tastes. Sure, the ISPs are cracking down and throttling peer-to-peer users, and you have other great file-sharing alternatives like Usenet, but that doesn't mean BitTorrent doesn't still have a place in your routine. It's pretty easy to ward of prying eyes with today's BitTorrent clients, and while Usenet is certainly great, BitTorrent is still more widespread. As such, it tends to have a better selection on certain things, and is at the very least a good fallback method for when you don't find what you're looking for elsewhere. After all, there's no reason you have to be loyal to only one file-sharing protocol. This intermediate guide to BitTorrent is designed to help you do three things: jack up your speeds (without consuming your bandwidth) and keep unwanted snoopers from seeing what you're doing. We've divided them up into three sections: Increase Your Speed and Privacy with a Few Easy Settings Keep That Newfound Speed from Hijacking All Your Bandwidth Really Hide Your Traffic with External Solutions For the purposes of this guide, we're focusing on two BitTorrent clients: uTorrent for Windows and Transmission for Mac OS X. That doesn't mean you can't use other clients like Vuze (or KTorrent and Transmission for Linux, if you are of the Linux persuasion), but there are just too many clients out there for us to give specific instructions for each. uTorrent and Transmission are some of the most popular clients out there, and they're our favorite here at Lifehacker, so where appropriate, we'll give you specific instructions for each client. Note that uTorrent for Mac is not nearly as mature as uTorrent for Windows, and may not have some of these features—so, in this particular case, when we reference uTorrent, we mean uTorrent for Windows. Keep Your BitTorrent Speed and Privacy at the Max with a Few Simple Settings BitTorrent clients have come a long way in the past few years, and where it used to be much more difficult to hide your BitTorrent activity, it's now a matter of checking the right boxes. Here are a few settings every BitTorrent user should have enabled. Randomize and Forward Your Router Ports If you're connected to your internet through a router, it's likely that many of your ports are closed, meaning your speeds will be much slower than you'd like. You'll need to let your router know which ones you want open for BitTorrent traffic, which is known as port forwarding. Furthermore, many ISPs or organizations (say, if your neighborhood or leasing company provides your internet) will block popular BitTorrent ports, so you'll want to switch up the port you use every once in a while to keep them guessing. Both of these are extremely simple in uTorrent and Transmission. in uTorrent, just to go Options > Preferences and hit the connection tab. Make sure all four boxes under the "Listening Port" section are checked—Enable UPnP Port Mapping, Enable NAT-PMP Port Mapping, Randomize Port Each Start, and Add Windows Firewall Exception. In Transmission, open up the app's preferences and head to the Network pane. Check both the Randomize Port on Launch and Automatically Map Port boxes. If you see that the light next to the port's number goes from red to green, then you've successfully opened your current port to BitTorrent traffic, and you should notice a good increase in speed. Note that for best results, you'll want to make sure your router is UPnP capable and has UPnP enabled. Most routers are UPnP ready, but if you find that you're having trouble, you may need to look at your router's manual and settings page to enable its use. Encrypt Your BitTorrent Traffic Nowadays, many internet service providers will throttle your bandwidth, prevent you from seeding, or do any other number of annoying things to try and stop you from torrenting. Apart from randomizing your ports, another thing you can do to try and keep them out is encrypt your traffic. It won't necessarily work on every client, but I've found that it nearly doubled my download speeds, so it's certainly worth a shot. In uTorrent, go back to the preferences and hit up the BitTorrent section in the left sidebar. Under Protocol Encryption, open the dropdown menu labeled Outgoing. You have three options: Disabled, Enabled, and Forced. Try Enabled for awhile, but if you don't see a good speed increase, using the Forced setting might give you better results. Also note the Allow Incoming Legacy Connections checkbox—If you have a specific torrent that doesn't have a lot of people seeding, you might want to check this box temporarily, though I try to keep it unchecked whenever I can. This ensures that any peers you connect to will use encryption and that your ISP will be less likely to throttle you. In Transmission, head over to the Peers pane of the app's preferences and check the Encryption section. Definitely check the "Prefer Encrypted Peers" box, and I'd highly recommend checking the "Ignore Unencrypted Peers" box, though again, if you are noticing that there aren't a lot of peers connecting for a specific torrent, try unchecking it to see if that helps your speeds. Block Peers that Might be Snooping Even worse than throttling ISPs is the threat of the snooping RIAA, MPAA, or other organization looking to take you down. Often, they'll post fake torrents of copyrighted material (or just join in on real ones) and track those downloading, leading them right to an unprepared you. While there is no foolproof way to avoid them, a really great simple way is to use a peerblocker. Transmission has this feature built-in, while Windows users will need to use a separate program. If you're a Mac user, open up Transmission's preferences and head back to the Peers pane. This time, check the box that reads "Prevent Known Bad Peers from Connecting" down under the Blocklist section. Hit the update button to make sure the list of bad peers is recent, and check the Automatically Update Weekly box to keep it up to date. Windows users will need to download previously mentioned PeerBlock (an updated version of the seemingly defult, previously mentioned Peer Guardian 2) to block the big boys from snooping. The first time you run it, it'll take you through a setup wizard, in which you can decide who you want to blacklist. Check the box for anti-P2P organizations (as well as anything else you may want, though the P2P box is the only important one for BitTorrent) and schedule it to update as often as you want. You might as well update it every day; there's no reason to be stingy with your privacy here. Then, just make sure it runs when you use your BitTorrent client—it'll keep you save from those bad peers. Automate Your Client and Free Up Bandwidth These are some tricks that have been around for awhile, and they won't exactly keep Big Brother off your back, but they are useful for keeping BitTorrent from overtaking your internet connection, especially if you've experienced some heavy speed increases from the above tips. Here are a few ways to automatically manage BitTorrent's use of your bandwidth. Set Global Bandwidth Limits BitTorrent downloads and uploads can hog a lot of your internet connection's bandwidth, especially if you're sharing popular content. The simplest way to keep BitTorrent from hogging your connection is to set global upload and download limits. In uTorrent, you can find them in the Connection section of the Preferences. The settings are fairly self-explanatory—just set your max upload and download rates (in kB/s), or choose 0 to keep the rates unlimited. In Transmission, it's under the Bandwidth pane of the app's preferences—just check the "Download Rate" and "Upload Rate" boxes and set your speeds however you want. You can also set a "Speed Limit" mode, if you want to switch between to different bandwidth limits—say, give it more bandwidth when your just checking email and the like, and cut the limits down when you need that bandwidth for streaming video or online gaming. Throttle Your BitTorrent Downloads on a Schedule You could just quit your BitTorrent client (or manually turn on Speed Limit mode) whenever you want to conserve your bandwidth, but if you're like me, you'll forget to start it back up—meaning you'll end up delaying your downloads (most likely until you want whatever was supposed to be downloading, at which point you will slap your forehead). To remedy this situation, uTorrent and Transmission both come with simple Scheduler features that you can access through the Preferences. In uTorrent, go to Options > Preferences, then find Scheduler in the sidebar. Tick the box next to "Enable Scheduler" and you'll see a grid of green boxes light up. The grid runs Monday through Sunday, midnight to midnight (or 0:00 to 23:59), one box per hour. Here's how it works: Dark green boxes indicate that uTorrent will download and upload at full speed (or whatever you've set as its full speed). Light green boxes indicate limited download and upload rates. White boxes indicate that uTorrent will not download or upload any content. Pink boxes indicate that uTorrent will only seed, not download. I'm not exactly sure when one would be inclined to use this, but it's there if you want it. I've always got a little bandwidth to spare on my connection, but I certainly don't want uTorrent hogging my bandwidth while I'm working, so I set the Scheduler to limit speeds from 8am to midnight every day. During the wee hours of the morning, when I'm very unlikely to be at my computer, I open the flood gates and give uTorrent unlimited upload/download speeds. Also, since I generally stay away from my computer on Saturday, I keep uTorrent at full throttle. See the screenshot above to see what this sort of schedule would look like. Like I said, my connection can handle a little bit of bandwidth bleeding all of the time, so when I'm running at limited rates, I set my upload speed to 5 kB/s and my download speed to 15. Handy, huh? In Transmission, it's a bit more basic. Just open up Transmission's Preferences and to to the Bandwidth tab. You only have two modes instead of three—your global bandwidth limits and Speed Limit mode. You can schedule the speed limit mode to turn on and off at a specific time either every day, on weekdays, weekends, or on a specific day of the week. It's not quite as flexible as uTorrent's scheduler, but works well enough—I'll generally just limit its speed during the day, and let it tear up my connection when I'm sleeping. Ensure a good share ratio without wasting extra bandwidth As Adam mentioned in our beginner's guide, an important part of BitTorrent is sharing, and a good member of the BitTorrent community gives as much as he/she takes. In fact, many sites, especially private trackers, keep a close eye on your share ratio and may even ban you if you don't keep your ratio above a certain point (i.e., if you are a "leecher"). This isn't as widespread as it used to be, but it does still happen—and besides, sharing is just a nice thing to do. I'm in total agreement of the whole share-and-share-alike attitude, but once I've shared an equal part of what I've downloaded, I don't want to waste too much extra bandwidth on that torrent. Rather than constantly checking your torrent ratios so you can remove them as soon as they cross the 1.0 barrier, go to the Queuing section of uTorrent and find the "Seed While" section. There you can set a goal ratio for a file you're sharing, then set how much bandwidth uTorrent will allocate to the torrent once that goal is reached (in the screenshot, for example, uTorrent will stop sharing the file after its share ratio reaches 150%). If you prefer, you can just limit the upload rate when uTorrent reaches its goal by checking the corresponding box at the bottom of the window. In Transmission, head to the Transfers pane of the preferences and click on the Management tab. Check the box that says Stop Seeding at Ratio and set the ratio to whatever you want, like 1.50 (meaning when your ratio reaches 150%). External Solutions for Hiding Your Traffic We won't go into too much detail here (as these solutions could be posts of their own), but we thought some of the more extreme measures deserved mentions in this guide. Here are a few other ways to really keep others out of your business. Use a VPN While there are a number of great solutions to hide your identity while downloading, using a VPN is usually a very cheap and popular way to do so. You can use any number of VPN services (like previously mentioned ItsHidden), which will route your traffic through another server, keeping your IP address away from prying eyes. Set up a Proxy One of the other popular methods of obscuring yourself is using a proxy, which works similarly to a VPN. You could roll your own SSH proxy or use something a bit easier like BTGuard, which we've covered how to do before. You very well may see a speed drop when using this method, though, so if speed is more important to you than privacy, this may not be the best route to go. As always, this guide is not all-encompassing. There are any number of tweaks, methods, and preferences that you could use to quicken, hide, or all-around improve your BitTorrent downloads. If you have any favorite settings we didn't cover, share them with us in the comments. Share this:

Use Windows 7 Event Viewer to track down issues that cause slower boot times | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com

Use Windows 7 Event Viewer to track down issues that cause slower boot times | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com: "Windows 7’s Event Viewer includes a new category of event logs called Applications and Services Logs, which includes a whole host of subcategories that track key elements of the operating system. The majority of these subcategories contain an event log type called Operational that is designed to track events that can be used for analyzing and diagnosing problems. (Other event log types that can be found in these subcategories are Admin, Analytic, and Debug; however, describing them is beyond the scope of this article.)

Now, within the operating system section is a subcategory titled Diagnostic-Performance with an Operational log that contains a set of a Task Category called Boot Performance Monitoring. The Event IDs in this category are 100 through 110. By investigating all the Event ID 100 events you will be able to find out exactly how long it took to boot up your system every time since the day that you installed Windows 7. By investigating all the Event ID 101 thru 110 events you will be able to identify all instances where boot time slowed down.
Getting started

You can find and launch Event Viewer by opening the Control Panel, accessing the System and Security category, selecting the Administrative Tools item, and double-clicking the Event Viewer icon. However, you can also simply click the Start button, type Event in the Start Search box, and press Enter once Event Viewer appears and the top of the results display.
Creating a Custom View

Once you have Event Viewer up and running you can of course drill down through the Applications and Services Logs and locate the Diagnostic-Performance Operational log and begin manually looking through the events recorded in the log. However, you can save yourself time and energy by taking advantage of the new Custom View feature, which is essentially a filter that you can create and save.

To do so, pull down the Action menu and select the Create Custom View command. When you see the Create Custom View dialog box, leave the Logged option set at the default value of Any time and select all of the Event level check boxes. Next, select the By log option button, if it is not already selected, and click the drop down arrow. Then, drill down through the tree following the path: Applications and Services Logs | Microsoft | Windows | Diagnostics-Performance.

Encrypt your communications with a number of major websites

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.

Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.

Internet security plan under review would alert users to hacker takeover

Internet security plan under review would alert users to hacker takeover: "Internet security plan under review would alert users to hacker takeover

The government is reviewing an Australian program that will allow Internet service providers to alert customers if their computers are taken over by hackers and could limit online access if people don't fix the problem.

Obama administration officials have met with industry leaders and experts to find ways to increase online safety while trying to balance securing the Internet and guarding people's privacy and civil liberties.

Experts and U.S. officials are interested in portions of the plan, set to go into effect in Australia in December. But any move toward Internet regulation or monitoring by the U.S. government or industry could trigger fierce opposition from the public.

The discussions come as private, corporate and government computers across the U.S. are increasingly being taken over and exploited by hackers and other computer criminals.

How to share a file from an OS X computer to an XP computer

As discussed in a recent editorial, more and more households are going the multi-platform route, with Droids or iPhones, Macs or Linux machines living under the same roof as Windows computers. If you have an OS X computer (or one of your family members does) and you want to be able to share its file with your XP system(s), here's how: First, the Mac and PC must belong to the same workgroup. XP's default workgroup is named "Workgroup," and by default the Mac creates a workgroup called "Workgroup" for connecting to a Windows machine. If you've changed the workgroup name on the XP computer, you'll need to change it on the Mac, too. If that's the case, you can find out how here: http://www.wxpnews.com/0WJMWV/101019-Share-Mac-Files After making sure they belong to the same workgroup, on the Mac you need to open System Preferences from the dock or the Apple menu. Click Sharing in the Internet & Network section. Check the File Sharing checkbox. This will share the public folders of all user accounts. You can add folders by clicking the + button below the Shared Folders list.

How do I open a new instance of a program?

QUESTION:
Help! I know I'm a little late to the game but I just recently switched from Vista to Windows 7. I like it, but there is one little thing that's driving me batty! In Vista if I clicked a program in the Quick Launch bar, I got a new instance of the program. For instance, a new Internet Explorer window. I like the jump list in the task bar but there's no quick launch bar. Is there a way to get a whole new IE window to open (or Word or other programs)? Thanks! - Edward J.

ANSWER:
Yes, you can open another separate instance of most programs from the taskbar, but it may not be obvious at first how to do it. Right click the program in the taskbar and look for the program name in the bottom half of the jump list. Clicking that will give you a new instance of the program. And if you want your Quick Launch bar back, you can have it. See
