Today we have three new iPhone apps for you. Actually that should be two and a half new apps because Shazam was already there. But the other two are really great apps, especially because one of them lets you share your photos instantly just like MMS but without depending on your lame carrier to finally allow it to happen on your iPhone. Besides, it is far better than MMS. Get over to the other side to read more.

Basic postgresql server setup
So many tool require databases. If you are a web administrator or a company with large stores of information, then you know the importance of databases. One of the most oft-used databases available is MySQL. But that is not the only player on the court. Another cross platform object-relational database management tool is PostgreSQL. Many people refer to PostgreSQL as the Oracle of the open source world. That is because PostgreSQL is dense with features but not as fast as MySQL. And where MySQL is a simple to use database management tool, PostgreSQL is often seen as overly complicated.
Of course there are variations on that opinion. But that is neither here nor there. The purpose of this tutorial is to help you get a PostgreSQL server up and running quickly and easily. To make this simple we will make this a part of our Ubuntu Server series, so all you have to do is have your Ubuntu Server up and running (see my article “Installing Ubuntu Server 9.04” to get started.) Once you have that server up and running you are ready to get your PostgreSQL server up.
RouteRank Finds The Fastest, Cheapest And Most CO2 Friendly Travelling Route
Ever asked yourself if you should take the car, train or plane on your next holiday or business trip? Maybe you have even tried to calculate the traveling time and expenses for the various traveling options. Doing that manually can take quite some time. That’s where the new web service routeRank steps in. RouteRank queries many different traveling services like airlines or train companies to calculate the best way of traveling to a selected destination.
The service will display all results based on the cheapest possible price with the option to change the sorting factor to either time, means of travel or CO2 emission. It will display the departure and arrival date and the number of legs for each transportation means.
iRingtones Creates And Adds iPhone Ringtones To iTunes
Are you a cell phone owner who pays for ringtones? Are you someone who recently searched for answers to questions like “how to use iTunes ringtones” or “how to find free iPhone ringtunes”? If you do you might like the following comfortable way of creating and adding new ringtunes automatically to Apple’s iTunes software. The first release of iRingtones makes that possible. The software program uses the freely available Nero AAC Encoder to convert a standard WAV file into an iPhone compliant M4R ringtone. It will also add the created ringtone automatically to the user’s iTunes library and copy it to the ringtones folder of that library.
Firefox App Tabs Add-On
Remember Pin Tabs? The Firefox add-on that we reviewed recently was mysteriously deleted from the Firefox add-on repository over at the Mozilla Firefox website. No one knew why it was deleted and it was not clear at that point in time if the developer would make it available again. The wait is now over with the release of the App Tabs add-on. App Tabs is basically an advanced version of Pin Tabs. The name now reflects the feature of the same name that the Firefox developer plan to include into Firefox 4.
The basic idea of App Tabs is to offer Firefox users a way to pin selected web services and websites to the tabbar of the web browser making them available always in the same spot. The idea works perfectly for websites that do not require back and forward navigation like Gmail or Google Docs but also for any other website or service that the user accesses all the time.
YouScrobble A Last.FM And Youtube Mashup Service
Services that make use of the vast video and audio archive that is Youtube are springing out of the ground more recently in this year. YouScrobble is the latest service that is combining Youtubes video archive with the information provided by the music service Last.fm. This combination alone proves to be very effective. Users who visit Youtube can perform searches for music that they would like to listen to but the music (in form of videos) is usually unsorted and often unrelated to the artist (think cover versions for example). Last.fm on the other hand provides extensive information about artists, their albums and songs but playback is limited on the website.
Windows 7 Firewall Control
The firewall in Windows 7 is a solid software firewall. It is by far not as advanced as third party firewalls but it does a good job at protecting a computer system running Windows 7. The functionality of the firewall has been improved ever since Microsoft starting shipping Windows XP versions with the software firewall. It does lack several features that most third party firewalls offer including usability enhancements like displaying prompts whenever an unknown application tries to create a connection to a private or public network.
The Windows 7 firewall will block the connection if the application has not been configured previously in the Windows Control Panel. The configuration can be strenuous especially in the beginning right after the first start of the operating system.
