del.icio.us

The social bookmarking tool del.icio.us links is back up and working after a long weekend of being out of service due to a power outage. The power outage cripled del.icio.us and many of its users who depended on del.icio.us for their links. Many of the users however were very understanding of the company which was recently acquired and we are looking forward to the fruits of it being part of the Yahoo! family.

With del.icio.us back up and working we here are audioNat are looking to make the switch over from Furl links; greatly due to their intergration with Firefox 1.5. My links can be found at http://del.icio.us/jensenrf.

We highly suggest checking it out even with an outage or two I think it is still worth it.

Using Outlook's Draft Folder

Do you find yourself wasting time looking for an old email just to resend it with a few changes. Well if you are using MS Outlook there is an easier solution. Instead of using old emails to send new information you can create a template from old emails that you have sent using your Drafts folder.

To do this in Outlook simply drag one of your old emails you find yourself resending all of the time to your "Drafts" folder. When it comes time to resend this email double click on it, next in the "Actions" toolbar select "Resend this Message…". From this point you can edit the email including what is in the To:, CC:, and Subject fields. After your edits just click "Send" and you are done; your updated email will be sent off and your template will stay in your Drafts folder.
You can also edit and save your template anytime by going into your "Drafts" folder and double clicking on the email. Simply edit the template to your liking and in the toolbar click "File" and "Save".
Well that is it for today's edition of Outlook Helpful Hints, come back next week when we take a closer look into scheduled emails. ;)

This is greatly due to Google reporting a third quarter net income of $381.2 million. This is up from $52 million in the same period last year. Google found many of these earning coming from advertisement revenue, but are not the only ones that are up. Yahoo! also rose almost 0.17% and is competing with Google in many different project levels.

Smart Soccer

Adidas, working with Germany's Cairos AG and Fraunhofer Institute, is testing and developing an “intelligent” soccer ball designed to end goal-line controversies. The ball contains a microchip that senses when the ball crosses the goal line. Referees outfitted with earpieces hear a transmitted beep once a ball makes a goal. FIFA, the international football association, tried out the ball in the Under-17 World Championship this year in Peru, and the ball may be used in next year’s World Cup in Germany.
