Bloomberg has picked up on a wildly unlikely Commercial Times (Taiwanese newspaper) report that claims production of the iPhone 5S has been delayed due to a late decision by Apple to switch from a 4-inch to 4.3-inch screen. This is the same paper that told us back in January that an even larger 4.8-inch iPhone would be arriving last month.

Apple TV gets HBO Go and sports with WatchESPN

Reblogged from Gigaom:

Some good news for premium cable and sports fans today: Apple(s AAPL) on Wednesday said it has signed deals to bring HBO Go and WatchESPN to its Apple TV set-top box.

HBO Go is only available to HBO(s TWX) subscribers, so this isn't a solution for cord-cutters. However, it's good for those who want to access to the cable channel's backlog of content: customers can watch any of HBO's shows at any time

Well, this is one way to do it: Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute is working on a new ebook DRM dubbed SiDiM that would prevent piracy by changing the actual text of a story, swapping out words to make individualized copies that could be tracked by the original owner of the ebook.

Reports about the work first popped up on German blogs…

Over the years I have tried several solutions for syncing my contacts between different accounts. Even back in the days of Palm Pilot Desktop for Mac, ActiveSync, Intellisync, and my personal favorite, The Missing Sync. In the long run, they never ended up working for me. Each of them usually ends up creating duplicate records. So I have made quite a mess of my contacts many times over.

Download A YouTube Video With Only Three Letters?

The question is asked so many times, so I thought I would start with how to download a video from YouTube, or any of the video clip based websites:


First off you need to know that these techniques are forever changing, so check back here for updates as the software or websites will probably need updating every so often.


For YouTube Videos:


How to download YouTube videos

The best way to download the video’s or MP3 is to simply type three letters “PWN” in front of the YouTube web address as pictured.


So you go to any video on YouTube.Com and make it look like this http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=fuzLnfpUTh0

It will direct you to the download page, where you can choose which file type to save it as, if you want to save it as an MP3 just for the music you can, the options are so vast.

 

For Any Other Video Website:

 

You can also use the same website, and a similar technique by just adding deturl.com in front of any URL to download it’s video.

Example: http://deturl.com/lifehacker.com/5171115/

Remember that a lot of videos and music are copyright protected so if you like it then clear your conscience and buy the song!
