Recommended Search Engines-The Library Google alone is not always sufficient, however. Not everything on the Web is fully searchable in Google. Overlap studies show that more than 80% of the pages in a major search engine's database exist only in that database. For this reason, getting a "second opinion" can be worth your time. For this purpose, we recommend Yahoo! Search or Exalead. Table of features Some common techniques will work in any search engine. You may also wish to consult "What Makes a Search Engine Good?" How do Search Engines Work? Search engines do not really search the World Wide Web directly. Search engine databases are selected and built by computer robot programs called spiders. If a web page is never linked from any other page, search engine spiders cannot find it. After spiders find pages, they pass them on to another computer program for "indexing." Many web pages are excluded from most search engines by policy.

transfer iTunes many PC's to 1 Not every household needs more than one computer running iTunes. In fact, as it becomes more common to stream music and videos to connected devices throughout the house, more homes may have just one PC. As that happens, you'll need to know how to consolidate iTunes libraries from multiple machines into a single, large iTunes library on the new computer. Due to the large size of most iTunes libraries, consolidating them isn't as simple as burning a CD and loading it on the new computer. Luckily, there are a number of methods--some free, some with small costs--that can make this process easier. 1. iTunes Home Sharing Home Sharing, available in iTunes 9 and higher, allows iTunes libraries on the same network to copy items back and forth. To consolidate libraries, turn on Home Sharing on all the computers you want to merge and then drag and drop the files to the computer that will store the merged library. Some apps will copy via Home Sharing, some may not. 2. 3. 4. 5. iPod Copy Software 6.

Oracle VM VirtualBox How to create multi-page Logins | 1Password 3 User Guide Some websites like banks or business admin portals employ multi-page login systems, usually as a security precaution. The theory is that these systems make it more difficult for a malicious hacker to use scripts and other tools to try and break into someone’s account. It is possible for you to still use 1Password with many of these sites, though you will have to create multiple Logins — one for each page of the site’s login process. The best practice we have found for multi-page login systems is to develop some kind of a naming scheme for each one, like “Bank 1,” “Bank 2,” “Bank 3,” etc. This will keep your Logins organized and easy to use for each step of the process when you want to log back in. Before we get started, click the 1Password button (a key icon) in your browser’s toolbar, select Settings > Logins, and ensure that the “Ask to save new logins” box is checked. How to create your multi-page Logins Step 1: Save the first Login This is where your naming scheme comes in handy.

Multiple iPods on 1 PC Many households--or even individuals--face the challenge of trying to manage multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones one just one computer. This poses a number of challenges, including keeping each person's music and apps separate, to say nothing of different levels of content restriction or the potential for messing up each other's preferences. There are a number of ways, using the tools built into iTunes and your operating system, to make managing multiple iPods, iPads, and iPhones on one computer easier. These four methods are listed from easiest/least troublesome to maintain to the least precise. 1. Individual User Accounts Creating a different user account for each person using the computer essentially creates a completely new, independent space in the computer for each person. Since each user account is its own space, that means each user has their own iTunes library and sync settings for their iOS device. 2. 3. So, even though it's messy, this is a very easy way to manage multiple iPods.

Multisite Login Multisite Login allows a user to login to all sites in a multisite configuration, even though the multisites do not share domain names. For example: politicker.com politickernj.com politickerny.com etc. NOTE: if you are using several sites on the same domain (ex. politicker.com, nj.politicker.com, ny.politicker.com, etc.), then you do not need this module. This module was designed to be an alternative to the singlesignon module but using a technique that does not block search engines from accessing your websites. You must be: Using a multisite installation.Using a separate database for each site (no table prefixing, though the code could be modified to allow for this, patches welcome).

Facetime between 2 dev, same ID Do you want to place calls between two iDevices using the same Apple ID? By default, all devices connected to the same Apple ID utilize the primary email address associated with that Apple ID. This emails they'll all ring if a FaceTime call is placed to that email address. It also means you can't place a class between two devices, just as you can't use one home phone to place a call to your house and answer it with another phone. To place a FaceTime call between two of your Apple devices, you will simply need to add a new email address to one of the devices. You can add a new email address to FaceTime in the iPad settings. Once you add a new email address, you must verify it by going to that email's inbox. Don't have another email address?
