GoogleMaps Hack – DIY Exercise Bike uses GoogleMaps as Virtual Map!

max — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:08:28 +0000

Here’s a rather cool hack where the hacker uses his bike as a GoogleMaps Virtual Map. Using Vuzix iWear as display device while he’s cycling (around the world) on GoogleMaps, this simple hack shows how far GoogleMaps Street View can be applied for adding a little fun to your next workouts.

It’s still in the works but kudos for what he has done so far! Brilliant hack!

Pragmatically explained, it means that I don’t have to sit in the darkness or stare at my garage door while I’m huffing away. Hopefully once this is done, I’ll be able to spend a few nights a week pedalling away downstairs and work my way across the US or Australia over the course of the year. The irony of this project is, well, while it’s supposed to help me entain myself while using the exercise bike, the project itself has been keeping me from exercising. Oh well.

Google Announces GoogleMaps Navigation!

max — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:05:08 +0000

Google has just announced GoogleMaps Navigation for Android platform smartphones like the G1 Phone and more. I think this is going to be big in the next few years and definitely take a big chunk out of the current on-board GPS market.

I think this is actually good for the GPS navigation business since more competition means lower prices and better GPS systems. Even now, I see all these outdated GPS systems on new cars, they simply can’t compete against even my Palm Pre’s (or Blackberry’s) GoogleMaps.

GMail Hack – How to Block Annoying Emails that Makes if Through your Spam Filter!

max — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:44:43 +0000

You know in GMail, there’s sometimes annoying emails you get from spammers who don’t care about CAN SPAM Act?

Even if you mark it spam, sometimes they keep making it through your spam filter.

There’s a way to block those e-mails (or send them an automated reply to annoy them back).

First, simply check off the e-mails you don’t want to receive anymore then click on More Actions->Filter messages like these.

Then, simply click on Delete It or perhaps forward it to another e-mail of your liking that will auto-respond.

I get hundreds of e-mails per day from spammy Chinese manufacturers. I never open them because they keep sending e-mails that I never asked for.

GMAIL Tip – How to See Unread Emails in GMail!

max — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:31:24 +0000

Here’s a simple tip for those of you who need to see all the unread e-mails and mark them read. (like old e-mails)

Simply do a search for “label:unread” in your searchbox in Gmail.

Then select all then go to More Actions->Mark as read.

These unread messages might be annoying especially if you have couple hundred of these, it might be hard for you to filter actual new mail. But do this every once in awhile and you won’t have those problems.

Happy GMailin’~

Google GMail Back UP!

Well, Google GMail is finally back up after couple hours of service outage.

Think about how many businesses rely on GMail to run their businesses. (including me)

Now that said, the world ecommerce/commuication now moving again, forward. Yey!

I was actually a little worried myself there for a second, we received an influx of too much traffic while the GMail down blog post was up and GMail was down. It seemed like a LOT of people were searching why Google was down on Twitter and Twitter kept sending a LOT of traffic over here. Well, good thing Zedomax.com didn’t go down either. :p

GMail Hack – How to BackUp Your GMail!

max — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:38:57 +0000

All things man-made will break, even Google’s own GMail. Now, you don’t need to fuss about it if you had all your GMail data backed up.

Here’s a bunch of great resources on how to back up your GMail so the next time GMail goes down, you will still have access to your e-mail:

If you use MS Outlook and pop your mail from GMail, you are already all good since you have downloaded all your e-mail. (unless you deleted it) I use MS Outlook every once in awhile just to pop my e-mails from GMail. That’s my 1st backup.
Even if you don’t have MS Outlook, you can use any computer’s default e-mail system to setup a simple POP3 e-mail. Just hit send/receive every once in awhile and you will have backup copies. You can also use Firefox Thunderbird, which is completely free. (Instructions on how to setup Thunderbird with GMail here.)
There’s a free software called GMail Backup you can use to backup all your GMail.
For linux users, try referring to this guide on how to backup your GMail.
Of course, you can also “forward” all your e-mails to another public e-mail address so you will always have 2 copies. – Instructions on that here.
There’s even how to back up your GMail using “restricted” Google Groups method.

Well, that’s just a handful of ways you can back up your GMail so the next time there’s GMail outage, you will still be able to keep going.

I think the simplest way is to actually have an EMail client such as MS Outlook or Firefox Thunderbird and pop your e-mails every once in awhile. Of course, make sure you set the e-mail POP settings so they leave GMail e-mails “unread” if you want to keep using GMail web version. (That’s how I do it. I have MS Outlook but I hate using it to actually send mail over my GMail web/mobile.)

How things used to be

David Allen — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:00:58 +0000

In the olden days search engines were slightly different to what are used to today, a long time ago things were done at a much slower pace and many people would think that things were better in those days.

Just take a look how Google started off, they were bold in those days to even call it Google Classic, but they did not allow much space for the search term, even back then. As for the query result, this would probably take around twenty eight days. Of course, most people will make note of today’s date and realise the significance of this find.

Google Hack – How to Search Google Without Copy And Paste!

max — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:56:45 +0000

The guys over at Lifehacker have done a marvelous job of eliminating copy & pasting keyword searches. Whether you are on your MS Word or any other application, you can use AutoHotKey to eliminate the “paste” part when you want to search for something.

Sincerely,
Tired of Copy/Paste

Dear Tired of Copy/Paste,

Using the AutoHotkey scripting language we can throw together a tiny script that assigns the Ctrl+Shift+C shortcut key combination to automate coping the text to the clipboard, and then opens your default web browser with the Google search for the selected text.

You’ll want to start by downloading and installing AutoHotkey, and then simply create a new file with the *.ahk extension and paste in the following text, which uses the magic %clipboard% variable in the Google URL to pass in the search terms.

#InstallKeybdHook #Persistent #HotkeyInterval,100 SetKeyDelay, -1^+c::
{
Send, ^c
Sleep 50
Run, http://www.google.com/search?q=%clipboard%
Return
}

Once you’ve saved the file you can run it by double-clicking on the script, which will add a new icon to the system tray. If you want to remove the tray icon and have the script run completely in the background, add the following line to the beginning:

#NoTrayIconNow that the script is active, you can simply select text in any application, use Ctrl+Shift+C, and you’ll instantly see a Google search window for that term. If you want to use a different search engine, you can simply modify the URL line, or add a new hotkey (see the AHK Hotkey documentation).

How Long Does One Single Google Query Take?

max — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 05:59:40 +0000

Here’s some interesting news on how long it takes for a single Google query.

Well, the answer is that it takes about 200ms, using the power of 1000 machines. Now, those 1000 machines could probably handle a whole bunch more queries in the same times frame so don’t get surprised.

Google Fellow Jeff Dean, in a keynote talk at WSDM 2009, shared some numbers about Google’s impressive growth run from 1999 to 2009. According to Dean, while both search queries and processing power have gone up by a factor of 1000, latency has gone down from around 1000ms to 200ms. Crawler updates now take minutes compared to months in 1999.

Another significant change was the switch to holding the complete search index in memory, resulting in the use of 1000 machines to handle a single query compared to just 12 previously.

Google Chrome is now Official!

Yes, Google Chrome has been around and I have even made a blog dedicated to Chrome hacks, but Google Chrome is now going official. I really sense that Chrome will start picking up even more users due to the fact that they did fix a lot of security bugs with enhancements from the community feedback.

Go Google!

One thing I highly admire of Google over Microsoft is that they went with open-source when they could’ve made gazillions more money with proprietary code. Kudos to open-source, Linux, and of course, I will be open-source SiteHoppin next year some time.

Even more speed. Google Chrome starts up fast, loads pages quickly, and just keeps getting faster. Since the first beta, the V8 JavaScript engine runs 1.4 times faster on the SunSpider benchmark and 1.5 times faster on the V8 benchmark — and there is more speed to come.

Gmail Hack – How to Store and Play MP3 Files on Gmail!

max — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:05:05 +0000

Here’s a no-brainer hack I posted on my Zedomax.Net blog that explains how GMail can be used for MP3 file storage and player:

(Of course, we might start seeing some software hackers take advantage over this and actually stream live MP3 Files to their iPhone/iPod Touch, great idea!)

Even better, you could open a separate GMail account just for your MP3s….wow what would happen if Google actually built this further to “sync” with iPod? Crazy…

Although many probably already have noticed now, GMail can be used to store your MP3 Files and play them without separate MP3 player such as WinAmp or Windows Media Player.

I am not sure if this will work on the iPhone but it’s definitely a great idea if you can upload your favorite songs to your own GMail and E-mail then simply access them from any computer in the world.

You will see the option to “Play” when you open your E-mail in GMail and Google will “pop” a free MP3 player.

I believe this also works on many other audio formats.

max — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:42:24 +0000

Bedzine Blog Search Engine has been launched today and I had to work (or play,hack, whatever) for the last 24 hours w/o sleep.

The main reason I am spending so much on this new blog search engine idea is the fact that it can help readers find what they “want”, not simply the latest blog posts on the home page.

Of course, our web stats been hitting the roof last couple days too, mainly due to people “searching” after landing on a blog post they are not interested in.

I will probably doing this to more of our blogs in the network and also probably provide custom integration services to those of you who want it but don’t have the skillz to implement this new feature.

I am really stuffed with a few client consultings right now but if you want this feature implemented to your blog theme “seamlessly’ by the inventor myself, please leave a coment or send an e-mail to zedomax [at] gmail.com and I will put you on my priority list of people who can take advantage of the new Web 3.0 (we’d like to say) style blogs.

Of course, I won’t charge much for the service, maybe $200 to $300 depending on your current blog theme and also provide free upgrades on the various different improvements that will be coming down the road.

If you are tech savvy though, I do highly suggest you to download my free Wordpress theme, which I just implemented on the Bedzine Blog.

(I have also uploaded to the Wordpress Theme section, so you should be able to download it through there soon.)

I’ve also have some great ideas on for advertisers on my new blog search engine, so if you are interested, make sure to shoot me an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com.

We are only exclusively offering to this service and new advertising programs to the first-comers and quality blogs so, get on the waiting list before I die from working too much.

Blog posts will continue hopefully by end of the week, if you want to guest post during the next couple days, please feel free to send me any blog posts related with DIY, Hacks, and HOWTOs with photos.

I am also working on new AJAX search function, which will allow search results to show without page re-load in the future. That I might sell as I have been putting hours of work into it but let me know what you think I should do.

GMail Hack – How to Access GMail when It’s Down!

max — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:30:17 +0000

Well, Google Operating System blog shows the different modes you can use to access GMail when it’s down.

These are of course methods that would ultimately require that GMail servers are running but there are times when you will need hard copies of your GMail.

To do that, I think the best way is to have a separate domain name (such as Zedomax.com) and use the POP service to store your old e-mails. (in Outlook or any free e-mail client) At least that way, you can have access to your e-mails even when all those methods don’t work.

But my favorite among the list is the iPhone mode, it’s kinda fun to browse in smaller spaces.

Google Chrome Hacks Blog Launched!

max — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:03:54 +0000

Google Chrome Hacks Blog Launched!

Google Chrome Hacks Blog was launched today.

We had to settle on Chrome-hacks.net although we wanted to get Chromehacks.com.

We will be doing a lot of posts on the latest tips, hacks, and other news just for the Google Chrome browser so make sure to subscribe to RSS feed.

For the mother of God and for whatever reason, we just launched another new blog, of course it’s called Google Chrome Hacks Blog.

Basically, the blog will cover all kinds of tips, hacks, and news about the new Google Chrome Browser.

It took us exactly 2 hours to sign up for a domain name at godaddy, stuff it with Wordpress plugins and themes, write 5 blog posts. (Not too bad of a start ey?)

New blogs are always great opportunities to pounce on, especially if it’s new technology.

Where did we get the idea for Google Chrome Hacks Blog?

Well, you should take a looky at iphone-hacks.com and their stats. (It’s like they simply took a knife and stuck it on a whale before the it leaped)

Google Chrome EULA in question?

max — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:55:42 +0000

Google Chrome EULA in question?

Google Chrome EULA has been confusing some of the bloggers recently, check out what the fuss is about at Zedomax.Net.

In a recent post over at Gizmodo about the Google Chrome’s End User License Agreement (EULA), Google supposedly owns everything that you “do” on the Google Chrome.

Of course, we think that the EULA was just worded vaguely but probably didn’t mean to mean that Google is going to own everything you do on the Google Chrome browser.

Google Chrome Logo and Simon are Distant Relatives!

Google Chrome Logo and Simon are Distant Relatives!

Simon is a long pastime of Americans, a memory game which has been popular in the 80s and the 90s.

Although we agree that Google Chrome’s logo does remind us of the Simon, there’s a clear difference in that the Google Chrome logo has 3 buttons on the outside whereas the Simon has 4. Of course, you can use the center button but still, they are “distant” relatives in our opinion and I am sure the logo designers didn’t whoop out a Simon just to make the logo.

Gmail HACK – How to Protect yourself from Gmail Session Hackers!

max — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 20:29:23 +0000

Here’s an interesting video that shows hackers sniffing the Wifi to retrieve Gmail cookie. Of course, this is when you are using Gmail without HTTPS secure access.

For secure Gmail, simply use https://gmail.com instead of http://gmail.com.

via hackszine

For analyzing your network whether that be Wifi or wired, you might want to consider trying the following TCP/UDP network analyzers.

Download Ethereal – I have used Ethereal for a long time before when I used to work as an embedded network engineer. It’s a great tool and shows pretty much every packet your network passes around. (great for wifi)

Download Wireshark – Similar to Ethereal, I believe this tool is based on the same core as the Ethereal.

Google Hack – Get Olympic Scores/Schedule on Google!

max — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:11:12 +0000

Google is providing some live scores and schedules if you type, “xxx olympics”, where “xxx” is the name of your sport.

Try this for soccer

Search Engine Land noticed that Google now shows a onebox* for certain Olympics-related queries, like tennis olympics or taekwondo olympics. This seems to work in the US and China but not, for instance, using normal google.com results from Germany. In the onebox, you’ll see an icon alongside the upcoming events for the sports category, linked to Beijing2008.cn.

Some Cool Hacks for GMail, GoogleDocs, and more!

max — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:00:06 +0000

Lifehacker has a new post that features some cool hacks for GMail, GoogleDocs, and some other hacks you can’t miss.

Are you using Google Spreadsheets as your web-based spreadsheet editor alternative to desktop programs like Excel? If you do, give the “magic” auto-completions a try. To understand what this does, enter “Superman” in the top left cell, and enter “Batman” and “Wonder Woman” in the cells below. Now select all three cells you created. Hold down the Ctrl key, and drag the bottom right corner of the selection downwards over the other cells. Notice something? Your list is now continued with entries like “spider man”, “x men”, “green lantern”. (Admittedly, not all continuations make sense—”star wars”?—but where would be the fun in magic without surprises.)

Google Talk for the iPhone

max — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:12:54 +0000

Google Talk is now available for the iPhone without any modifications other than pointing your Safari browser to www.google.com/talk.

There are some differences from using Google Talk on your computer. For instance, in order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. When you navigate away to another browser window or application, your status will be changed to “unavailable” and your Google Talk session will be restarted when you return.

GoogleMaps working on Voice Search with Blackberries

max — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:00:32 +0000

Google is working on voice search functions with their GoogleMaps on Blackberries. Now, this is really old news as I have covered Microsoft’s TellMe service which does exact same thing for more Blackberries except using Microsoft’s LIVE search and LIVE maps.

Now, in the long run, I would predict Google win this voice-search race since Google does have better search engine and better maps.

Google Media Server bridges the gap between Google and your TV!

max — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 04:22:48 +0000

Google has just announced their new Google Media Server, which supposedly bridges the gap between Google and your TV or any UPnP devices such as PS3.

It looks like a great way to organize your media files in your PC, especially if you are displaying them to your TV or simply want to access them from your PS3, XBOX, whatever.

Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:

* Access videos, music, and photos stored on your PC
* View Picasa Web Albums
* Play your favorite YouTube videos

GeoQuake brings you GoogleMaps Driving Game!

max — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:08:15 +0000

Now, you can drive on GoogleMaps or fly on GoogleEarth.
It’s really fun, I think there’s a potential for dozens of games and money to made off these types of apps.

The first, taking advantage of Google Maps’ new ability to work with Flash applications, lets you drive a car, bus, or truck around Google Maps. It won’t bat an eye if you drive through a building or into the ocean, but Katsuomi Kobayashi, the programmer from Osaka, Japan, who wrote it, was happy to note that the software can display images at 40 frames per second vs. 20 at best for JavaScript. And it uses less CPU power, too.

North Oaks, Minnesota tells Google Maps to Fu** off!

max — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:50:38 +0000

Uh oh… It looks like Google Maps Street View is invading privacy of private lands. Although most people probably won’t care that much but how did Google Maps get pictures of private lands in the first place?

Since the introduction of Google Maps’ Street View last spring, the feature has caused controversy in several cities and with the federal government. The Pentagon banned Google Maps from taking any images of military facilities, and a Pittsburgh couple sued the company over images of their home taken from the private road in front of their house.

The North Oaks City Council sent a letter to Google in January asking the company to remove the images and destroy the files or possibly be cited for violating the city’s trespassing ordinance.

Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo said the images of North Oaks were removed shortly afterward. She didn’t know of any other city in the country that has made a similar request.
