doubleTwist is a iTunes clone to sync your android, palm pre, blackberry or in fact up to more than a hundred devices.
It looks like iTunes, and you can buy music directly from amazon. If you have a nexus one, give it a try.
Here’s something I know affects plenty of users out there. Have you ever pasted text in a document or email message, only to have it formatted differently than all the text around it? Irritating, right?
There’s an answer, thanks to the Keyboard & Mouse pane in System Preferences. If you click the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, you can assign “Paste Without Formatting” and/or “Paste and Match Style” to Command + V for all applications. Just click the button under the list, type in the name of the appropriate menu items, and press ⌘-V in the Keyboard Shortcut box.
One note: Panic designer Neven Mrgan found that using this tip means you won’t be able to paste images into iChat using Command + V. Dragging and dropping (or choosing Paste from the Edit menu) still works, though. Update: If you explicitly add ⌘-V in as a shortcut for Paste that’s specific to iChat, you can restore the image paste capability without breaking the global shortcut.
Apps that don’t have either of those menu items will still default to regular old “Paste” for the same key command. Paste away!

I have blogged in the past about prezi, and I think is one of the coolest presentation tools out there.
I would like to share a couple of other brainstorming tools that might be useful for your thinking processes:
I have been enquiring in the fonera forums on how to install the latest release candidate in my fon 2.0 as wifi for the iphone in the current version is unusable and in the 2.3.5.0 the drivers have changed.
This is what I posted in the forums:
1.- Save your settings: Settings/System then the big settings button will donwload a file called luci. Save it.
2.- Download the latest DEV version of your 2.0n: http://download.fonosfera.org/LATEST/fo … .0_DEV.tgz (remember that from the web you can only instal tgz files)
3.- In my case I tried upgrading to dev from my mac (safari) in the wan and it did not work. I tried from a lan computer and it did work. It takes 5 min. Then I went setting/system/settings update and then I could not see any difference between the DEV and the normal firmware. I could not access via ssh, so I thought it might have been because in my setting I have the fonera running on 192.168.1.1 instead of the default 192.168.10.1. I then reseted to factory default.
4.- Once in factory default you are asked to follow a wizard. You had a password of 8 char with numbers and then I tried ssh and worked.
5.- Now how to send the 2.3.5.0 to the fonera? I tried put and get and did not work. Filezilla over sftp did not work either. Only wget. So I had to dowload from here (http://flash.fonera.be/FON2303/20091210 … EV-RC2.tgz) but from ssh you cannot install tgz, so I had to extract the .img and upload it to a server: http://yourserver/20091210_FON2303_2.3.5.0_DEV-RC2.img
6.- You go to ssh root@192.168.10.1 and then your 8 char password, go to the #cd /tmp folder and
7.- Then #wget http://yourserver/20091210_FON2303_2.3.5.0_DEV-RC2.img
8.- Now you have to install the image make sure you are in the #cd /tmp then #mtd -r write 20091210_FON2303_2.3.5.0_DEV-RC2.img image
9.- DONE!!
10.- Now you can upload your luci settings again.
To do this here is a little tutorial to guide you there 2 methods, I suggest the easiest (note it seems that in some cases, not mine in any case, the notification SMS from unknown then put you the contact in your book, but once in the SMS you have of course the name of the sender):
Acknowledgment iPhone SMS
* Launch Cydia
* Once in Cydia -> Manage -> Source, add and install the source http://iphonedelivery.advinux.com/cydia
* In Search -> find the application iPhoneDelivery
* Install the application
* Your system restarts, wait
* In Settings -> Messages, select Acknowledgment and Flash AR (this is the info bubble that gives you the details)
After several tests, everything works perfect, no problem!
In addition it does not make you an SMS acknowledgment but just a warning.

I had a problem with mobileme. I could not sync my contacts. They were fine in my iphone (my main input tool) and on mobileme. My macbook pro was not synchronizing…
I tried everything, from going to the settings of mobileme in my mac and reseting it, to delete everything on my mac in order to have mobileme overwritting…. nothing worked. I got a message saying that there was an inconsistency.
Finally I came up with a solution.
I do keep backups of the contacts of my macbook. The problem was that the ones in the iPhone/mobileme were updated and those in the mac were not.
The solution was:
1.- Export vcards from the mobileme site.
2.- Import them into the mac (here I lost all the profile photos and groups…)
3.- At this stage mac and mobile me and iphone was syncronizing again. Good.
4.- Import the latest backup to my address book in the mac. That overwrites the everything. No big deal, in the back up, even if it was not updated I had all the photos and groups.
5.- Import the vcards but, do not merge them though. You will be prompted with what to do and you have to select to duplicate contacts, so you will end up with two different entries for each person (plus those unique sure).
6.- Now you go to the address book and click on find duplicates, then merge them.
There you are. Now you have all your contacts, plus the new ones, and you have recover the groups and photos.

When you drag the files from the source to the target directory, Windows XP alerts you that a file exists in the target location with the same filename as one you’re trying to copy. It also asks you whether it should replace the existing file or not, as shown.
If you were working in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac OS X, you could easily tell the operating system not to replace the duplicate file and to apply that action to all the other duplicates. Windows XP however, doesn’t give you a “No to All” or “Apply to All” option, just a “Yes to All”, which would replace all the duplicate files and isn’t the action we want.
Luckily, there is a hidden solution. Hold down the Shift key when you click the No button. This will produce a “No to All” effect. Why Microsoft didn’t include a “No to All” or “Apply to All” option in Windows XP is beyond me, but at least this simple trick works.
We all know how important it is to backup our computers, but studies consistently show that most computer users — even those that know better — don’t.
As Internet connections get faster and storage becomes less expensive, online backup services like Backblaze, Mozy and Carbonite have stepped-in to help consumers back up their data.
Not only are these services useful, they are also very inexpensive. Most of the services offer unlimited (truly) storage for your online backups for around $5 a month. Now, granted, storage prices are constantly decreasing, but how can companies make those sorts of claims?
Online backup service Backblaze has decided to shed some light on how it manages to offer unlimited backup storage to its customers, while also easily expanding its own cloud-based storage platform. Today, Backblaze posted an entry in its company blog that explains what tools and hardware it uses to maintain cheap, efficient storage for its customers. Backblaze hopes that other businesses who are looking at building cloud-based storage solutions can use this information as inspiration or as a blueprint for themselves.
Yes, this is not a joke, the no fuss solution to getting all your data backed up securely. Online backup for only $5/month per computer for unlimited storage: backblaze

Would you like to make your life easier?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have all your files synchronised over your Mac, PC, Linux and web? Being able to share files without sending emails and so?
Well a guy like me would use webDAV for that, but there is a particular commercial tool which looks great:
Dropbox
Take a look at the video for a demo of how it works.
Take a look at the pricing plans: Free for 2GB online storage, $9.99 a month for 50Gb and $19.99 for 100Gb.
