Tag: SAVE

We've shared a handful of Google Chrome context menu extensions before, and this weekend we discovered a new one which is oozing potential: Cloud Save. Install Cloud Save, and you'll add the ability to right-click files on Web pages you visit and zap (or sideload) them to various online services like Google Docs, Dropbox, Picasa, Flickr, Posterous, CloudApp, and Box.Net. The extension ...

When the news first broke of Gmail losing a small chuck of its users' inboxes, I had a rather terrifying realization: For nearly 8 years, I've been using Gmail as my only message store -- putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. If you use Gmail, you're probably now thinking the same thing as me: I really should have a backup. But where should I back up to? There are two choices: use ...

fring, the popular multi-protocol text, voice, and video chat tool has just announced the addition of VOIP calling to their app for Nokia smartphones. Dubbed fringOut (sound familiar?), the new feature allows users to call just about any phone in the world from 1c/min. Don't own a Nokia phone? Patience, frugal caller: fringOut will be made available soon to users of fring's Android and iPhone ...

I'd expected GameSaveManager to be something of a one trick pony. Instead, just 30 seconds after installing GameSaveManager (GSM), it became painfully apparent that this is a tool that every gamer should install. You see, GSM doesn't just back up your save games -- it does settings and personalization data too. Imagine my surprise when, after a quick scan, both my TeamSpeak settings and World ...

One common complaint about Google Chrome is that it tends to use up a lot of memory. There's a good reason for that, of course -- it has a lot to do with Chrome's built-in crash proofing features. Your tabs are split into separate process, as are your extensions and active plug-ins -- and it's all designed to keep the ship afloat if one component happens to go belly-up. Still, there are ...

Hey, do you remember Google Bookmarks? I didn't either, until I heard the news that Google Bookmarks now has the ability to create and share lists of links. After a moment of confusion, I realized that Google Bookmarks wasn't a new product, and I started playing with lists. They're actually quite useful! On top of creating and sharing, you can import all of the bookmarks from a friend's list ...

If you read your news in feed form, you're likely familiar with Google Reader's "star" feature. You can click a star to save a story for later, and use your star list for quick reference. Google News has finally added something similar for those who read their news the old-fashioned way. Starring a story adds it to your "starred" menu, accessible via the sidebar, and causes any updates to appear ...

Experts such as Brian Livingston, editorial director of the Windows Secrets newsletter, say Microsoft is intentionally allowing a loop-hole to exist, which enables more advanced users of Microsoft's operating systems to upgrade to Vista SP1 without having the necessary previous versions of Windows. The loop-hole exists in the Vista SP1 Upgrade Edition, which requires a previous install of ...

Exactly as its name implies, the Tiny Menu extension allows you to compress your entire Firefox menu bar into one item. And, thanks to a recent update, that item is now even smaller. Setting up Tiny Menu isn't entirely intuitive, so I'll outline the steps to save you a bit of time: Download and install Tiny Menu (don't forget to restart Firefox) Click your 'new' menu (the M) and then ...

Mike Sego posted on the Google Blog yesterday that a slick new 'reply by chat' feature has been added to Gmail. Now, if you want to reply to a message and the original sender is online, a 'reply by chat' button will be right next to the now old 'n busted regular reply button. To top things off, the chat history will be saved right in line with the conversation. Awesome. ...

It's happened to most of us: You're writing a long blog entry, e-mail, or forum post when you accidentally close the tab or your browser crashes (or worse still, your session times out) and you lose the whole thing. Unfortunately the adage "save early and often" doesn't work on the web because web forms don't always have Save buttons. You know where I'm going with this: Scribe is an ...
