Find the Person Behind an Email Address
You get an email from a person with whom you have never interacted before and therefore, before you reply to that message, you would like to know something more about him or her. How do you do this without directly asking the other person?
Web search engines are obviously the most popular place for performing reverse email lookups but if the person you’re trying to research doesn’t have a website or has never interacted with his email address on public forums before, Google will probably be of little help.
No worries, here are few tips and online services that may still help you uncover the identity of that unknown email sender.
#1. Find the sender’s location
Open the header of the email message and look for lines that say “Received: from” followed by an IP address in square brackets. If there are multiple entries, use the IP address mentioned in the last entry.
Now paste the IP address in this trace route tool and you should get a fairly good idea about the location of the email sender.
#2. Reverse email search with Facebook
Facebook has 450 million users worldwide and there’s a high probability that the sender may also have a profile on Facebook.
Unlike LinkedIn and most other social networks, Facebook lets you search users by email address so that should make your job simpler. Just paste the email address of the sender into the Facebook search box and you’ll immediately know if a matching profile exists in the network.
If you are able to locate that person on Facebook, download his profile picture and then upload it to TinEye – it’s a reverse image search engine so you can locate his other social profiles where he may have used the same picture.
#3. Check all the other Social Networks
You can use a service like Knowem to quickly determine if a profile with a particular username exists in any of the social networks.
If the email address of the send is something like green_peas@hotmail.com, there’s a probably that he or she may have created accounts of some other social network using the same alias “green_peas” – put that in knowem.com to confirm.
#4. People Search
Finally, if nothing works, you should try a people search service like Pipl and Spokeo – both services let you perform reverse email lookups but Spokeo has a more comprehensive database than Pipl.
Other than regular web documents, Spoke also scans social networks and even the whois information of domain names to find any bit of information associated with an email address. However, some of the results returned by Spokeo are only available to subscribers.
Toshiba Libretto W100 Is a Dual-Screen Challenge to the iPad
As a part of the 25th anniversary of Toshiba’s Laptop Innovation Milestone, the company unveiled a dual-screen laptop concept named the Libretto W100, a next-gen ultra-mobile concept PC.
With the libretto W100, users can take advantage of all the Windows applications they commonly use, including productivity apps like Microsoft Office and video chat like Skype. Built-in connectivity features, including 802.11b/g/n4 and Bluetooth give users the flexibility to connect from any hotspot or pair the device with their favorite wireless accessories, such as a mouse, headphones and more.
The multi-touch screens can work independently or together, giving users the flexibility to decide how they want to use them. Surf the Web on one screen while checking e-mail on the other, view two documents simultaneously or view a webpage across both screens.
Adobe Flash 10.1 Now Available for Download
The Adobe Flash platform saw significant improvements today with the launch of Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.
According to a blog post from Adobe’s Flash team, the new Flash Player 10.1 features improved performance, power management and video features. The player has also been given new multi-touch and private browsing functionality. The overall viewing experience for Mac users has been fine-tuned as well.
The new Flash player should deliver an altogether smoother, higher-quality experience for web video, with better buffering, peer-to-peer video and online streaming video.
Adobe also says more details on Flash 10.1 for mobile devices will be announced later this month, but we’re not holding our breath for fantastic iPhone news.
As for AIR, this product was released two years ago and hasn’t seen a major update until now. AIR 2 improves overall performance and HTML support while reducing memory usage. AIR 2 also includes some new APIs for developers. Continue Reading...

Electricity in the Air: On the Brink of Wireless Power
I spent much of last evening on a plane. My laptop, a Dell M11x, didn’t have an adapter that worked with the American Airlines cigarette lighter plug, so I had to use the laptop battery, which meant my screen was really dim as I tried to preserve my system’s precious juice. This is one of the reasons I’m flying Virgin America now: They not only have Wi-Fi (which American increasingly has as well) they have normal US AC pugs. Hey there’s an idea, let’s put power on planes that I can actually plug into! Those tricky Europeans…
At the same time, my phone battery is on life support, I have no idea how much power my headset or MiFi Verizon wireless router has left, and if I get one more battery-run device, they’ll likely put me on a no-fly list.
Fortunately, a range of innovative power charging devices already exist to address these problems, and even some amazing wireless charging solutions from Qualcomm and Intel that could be just around the corner.
Charging Solutions
The trick with a charging solution is not to add any more complexity, which is why I kind of fell in love with the iDapt product I saw at EFA in Germany, and paid a ton to have several shipped to my home; They are now sold, much more affordably, on Amazon (figures). The iDapt uses the normal connector built into your device, and just organizes them in a way so you can charge three devices close together. At around $50 it isn’t that expensive and you don’t have to rebuild your phone.The PowerMat has also been very popular. In concept, it’s easier to use than the iDapt because you can just set the things you want to charge on a mat, but to me it’s not easy enough and it appears a lot of folks that bought it have regretted their purchase. At nearly $90 for the device and around $40 for each thing you want to charge, it is also very pricy. PowerMat does make a portable product, which the iDapt doesn’t (you’d just carry your charger), but that is another $90 which means, in total, this solution likely costs more than most of what you are charging.
WildCharge and TouchCharge are devices that seem to pull much better reviews than the PowerMat, with the only negatives focused on the design of the charging sleeves that you need for every device you want to charge. Both are more attractive than the PowerMat, and more affordable at $50 to $80, depending on what you want to charge. They also have pucks you can use for things that don’t have sleeves, but they just seem like an alternative to the wall wart chargers you are trying to get rid of.
Qualcomm’s Better Idea
Qualcomm is bringing to market something that on paper looks better than all of these, but we likely won’t see it this year. The eZone charging system would use near-field magnetic resonance to charge devices wirelessly without the electrical contacts of current products. The company plans to design the device side of the charger into extended batteries you would use with your device, eliminating the adapters that make the PowerMat, WildCharge and TouchCharge somewhat painful to use. In effect, if the plan works, you’ll buy an extended battery and the eZone charging capability will be built-in for a nominal upcharge. To charge the batteries, you’ll merely have a place in your car or an area on your desk or counter with a charging field.This is, on paper, a better solution than what is in the market now, and Qualcomm has the connections to drive it into phones, tablets, and music players (PCs are out of luck for any of this) which gives it a lot of potential. But, until it ships, that’s all it’s got.
Intel and Broadcast Power
Unlike Qualcomm’s relatively small charging fields, Intel has been showcasing broadcast power that would shoot a power stream several feet or across a table to the device being charged. The goal is to fill a room with power so that your devices either charge when you are in the room, or only need batteries over the short time you are moving between charging fields, like outdoors. Eventually it is hoped that entire cities could be a charging field, eliminating the need for batteries for most of us. Unfortunately, while we’ve made progress since Tesla came up with this concept decades ago (and some think Tesla’s stuff could actually work), we haven’t made enough progress yet. This approach remains at least ten years out, and I could have likely said the same thing in 1940. In other words, don’t hold your breath.Wrapping Up
Power remains one of our biggest problems to solve. As we look at devices like the iPad, iPhone and the new particularly thirsty Sprint EVO 4G, the need for a better charging solution (and a better power solution eventually) has never been more pronounced. This is really the elephant in the room that we don’t really seem to be talking about as much as we should. We need a better power solution, and we needed it a decade ago. To quote a blue collar comedian I enjoy listening to, let’s git r done. Continue Reading...

Why You May Not Need a Mobile App
Ever since Apple launched the iPhone app store, the company has been pushing its apps to get all of the attention. But when was the last time you read a review about a new mobile website? Thousands of apps and billions of downloads consistently steal the headlines, while the mobile web is largely ignored by everyone but the consumer. Yet, despite what the marketing would lead you to believe, consumers use the mobile web just as much as apps.
At my company, we raced down the same road, putting pedal to the metal on our apps while leaving our mobile website on cruise control. Our iPhone app has been a Top 10 iPhone reference application for almost two years with almost six million downloads, and even with all of the great chart positions and visibility – just as many iPhone consumers use our mobile website as the application. We are not alone; Comscore reported in April that 72 million mobile users accessed a website compared to 69 million users who used an application. Both are showing more than 25% year-to-year growth.
Mobile Web Gets Better
When the app store first launched, only apps could use and access the device’s location. Last July, Apple launched OS 3.0 which provided Safari with GPS/location functionality. Apple’s HTML5 agenda continues to advance the mobile web browsing experience with video, audio, and a limited amount of caching or offline storage of data. The lines between apps and mobile web are blurring and converging.
Here’s a quick comparison of capabilities offered by applications and the mobile web:

Google Custom Homepages Go International; Here’s How You Turn Them Off
Last week, Google enabled an interesting feature: custom backgrounds for its search page. Now the feature is available internationally, and to highlight it, Google collaborated with several well-known artists who’ve created a gallery of background images that will be featured on the Google homepage over the next 24 hours.
Unfortunately, the feature comes with a somewhat bizarre catch: You cannot turn the background images off — at least on certain Google search pages. For example, when I open my localized Google search page — http://www.google.hr/ — I’m greeted by a colorful field of flowers. I can change the image by clicking on the link in the lower-left corner, but there’s no option to completely turn it off.
For many users, this is quite annoying; as you can see from this Twitter searchtweetzi Twitter Search , hundreds of users are trying to find a way to get rid of the feature and restore Google’s traditional white background.
There are a couple of tricks to get rid of the image; for example, you can try clicking on this link or you can use Google SSL (currently in beta), which works pretty much the same as regular Google. You can also choose the color white as the background, available from Google’s editorial choice of images. Most importantly, Google’s backgrounds will be rotated only today, after which (we hope) all will be restored to normal, and users will be able to set a custom homepage only if they choose to.

Bing vs Google
Bing vs Google Face-Off Still On: Bing Announces Search Index Boost, Social Results & More
Did you notice the competition going on between Bing and Google? The game is still on and after Google announced its new Caffeine search index, it is Bing's turn to tout the future release of its enhanced 'Bing Webmaster Tools' this summer.The company calls it its "no-cost toolset" for webmasters and SEOs. The new version - as Rick DeJarnette wrote on the blog - was created from webmasters' feedback and built with (surprise!) Microsoft Silverlight 4 although basic functionalities are supposed to still be available on most browsers.
What other browsers might not get are the features such as "Index Explorer, a tree-view that enables webmasters to see at a glance all of the crawling and index data for their website.
Each level in the tree view offers webmasters access to specific data management controls, such as URL blocking, cache blocking, and recrawl requests."
Webmasters will be able to submit 'priority' URLs as well as those to be blocked from showing up on SERPs.
If this really happens then it might well revolutionize the search marketing world - and push Google to innovate too in that area.
Bing said it will roll out further features in time so it's worth keeping your eyes peeled for that.
Real-Time, Social Results
Walking in the footsteps of Google who has launched a refreshed SERP including real-time results in May, Bing is now also integrating real-time/social data in its SERP. With Yahoo and Facebook having entered a content sharing deal, it was only a matter of time before Bing also announced it followed suit. After all, Bing is partnering with Yahoo in the Search Alliance. This time, Twitter is part of the real-time search fest too, and it is called Bing Social.
So far, Bing had only 'socialized' its shopping experience by enabling prospective buyers to consult their peers and friends through Twitter, Facebook and email directly through its platform.
By extending users' search capacities to information aggregated from micro-blogging sites - namely the status updates from Facebook and Twitter users worldwide -, Bing hopes to get more traction.
This is what Bing Social looks like:
Fear Not For Your Privacy
No. Don't fret. The data that is being crawled and indexed by Bing is that from fan pages as well as public profiles. Read: personal profiles whose privacy settings allow the sharing of their status updates with 'everyone'. At least, this is what the company said on its blog post announcing the news.
"No names or photos, or even the text in the update associated with the link are published - just the link in aggregate," Bing's Lawrence Kim wrote.
Needless to say, privacy is to be taken more than seriously these days, with glitches being pointed at as well as enquiries (and sometimes lawsuits) being launched left and right across the globe on Facebook's privacy issues, Google's rogue Wi-Fi data collection, or even AT&T exposing iPad users data.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any such real-time social entries on Bing's SERP. At least I did several tries and such content was only visible once out of five times. Very strange. My driving test query was on "World Cup"... as it is slated to kick off tomorrow and related real-time content should therefore be more than abundant.
World Cup Splurge
Speaking of which, Bing is also betting big time on the World Cup.
Aside from bringing real-time scores and coverage, Bing is partnering with location-based service Foursquare and recommendation site Thrillist to create "World Cup badges and specials for check-ins during the world Cup."
Today as well, Bing is launching Home Turf Finder, a feature that allows football fans to locate the "second best" (after South Africa itself?) place to watch their matches. This means you can find the best neighborhood place with the friendliest crowd that supports your team.
This is sort of an aside but so you know, tomorrow, on the day the World cup actually kicks off, Facebook will allow you to customize your profile picture with the World Cup scarf of the team you support...
Wooing Apple
It's not too hard to tell what the tug of war is. Apple has been rumoured to be planning to forsake Google for Bing but has never commented on it. However, since Bing gained mobile credit by becoming one of the search engine options on Safari, the battle has been raging and announcements galore have been made both by Google and Bing.
You might have had a nudge today if Google has rolled it out in your country: the home page has turned totally Bing-esque with a background picture .
One thing that Google did early last month was to hire a "head of social" to boost its strategy. We have no news yet of Bing's stance on that.
What we know is that Bing is "going Hollywood," scheduling a 40-minute show in Los Angeles on June 22nd to announce changes to its search engine...
So stay tuned and please let us know how you feel about your Bing Social experience

Box.net Releases Desktop Client
Box.net — one of the elder statesmen of the cloud file storage game — today released Box Sync, a desktop client promises to offer a seamless bridge between the desktop and cloud and should make it easier to share files and collaborate with your team.
Once the client is installed, any files placed in the Box Sync folder on the computer will automatically be uploaded to Box.net and then kept in sync with the cloud. To help users share and collaborate with colleagues, every time a file in the folder is edited, team members in shared workspaces have immediate access to the updated version and receive notifications whenever there’s a change, and conflict resolution tools are provided if two people edit a file simultaneously.
It’s worth pointing out that many other cloud storage providers (Nomadesk and Dropbox, for example) provide similar desktop clients, so technically, Box Sync is late to the party. But its software does look to be pretty slick, especially with regards to collaboration. Here’s a promo video showing how it works:
Box Sync is currently only available for Windows, with Mac and Linux versions of the client on the way.
Access Files on your Computer from Anywhere
The problem: You have documents, photos, music and other important files on the home computer. How can you “remotely access” these files from your office computer or, when you are travelling, from your mobile phone?
The solution: The simplest solution would be that you copy all your data from the home computer on to a portable hard drive and carry it around but this is obviously a bit cumbersome approach as it requires you to manually sync the home computer and your portable disk.
Access Files on your Computer over the Internet
There are couple of ways by which you can retrieve files stored on your home computer from anywhere else using a regular Internet connection.Option 1: Using Online Backup
You can use an online backup service like SugarSync, Carbonite, SkyDrive or even Dropbox – they provide desktop utilities that will automatically upload files on your home computer to the Internet and you can then access these files through the web browser of any other Internet connected computer.
The upside is that your files will always be available to you even if the home computer is not running. SugarSync and Carbonite have a mobile optimized website so you can access files from any mobile phone as well.
The downside is that if you are using any of these services for the first time, you’ll to wait until they upload all your data to the cloud and this process may take long if you have too many files on the home computer.
Option 2: Using Desktop Sharing Software
There are free desktop sharing software like TeamViewer and UltraVNC that also let you remotely access your computer files from anywhere else. LogMeIn Pro and CrossLoop Home are some other good options for transferring files from a remote computer but these are paid services.
If all your computers are running Windows, you can use the built-in remote desktop connection feature of Windows (available in XP and later) to access your home computer from another Window computer over the Internet.
With Desktop Sharing software, you’ll always have access to all your files but one big limitation is that it requires that the remote computer stays on. Also, none of these options will help you access files on a mobile phone except LogMeIn which has an iPhone app.
Option 3: Access Files Directly through the Browser
Online backup services, discussed above, will copy files to their own servers before you can access them for anywhere else. Screen sharing services are often slow and they won’t work on most mobile devices. Let’s now explore another set of services that allow you download files directly from the home computer.
Copernic, like Google Desktop, is a popular desktop search software that you may use to find emails, documents and other files on your Windows computer. They have a paid component called myCopernic on the Go that lets you remotely search for content stored on the home or office computer. You can preview the search results and then download them to your mobile phone or remote PC.
With Opera Unite, you can easily turn your computer into a web server and instantly access files and folders on that computer from any other web browser (including that of mobile phones). Opera Unite is a standard web server and therefore you’ll be downloading files directly from the computer – they’re not uploaded anywhere else.
Another option is GBridge that lets you setup a virtual private network using your existing Google Account. Companies use VPNs to let employees access corporate data over a public network (Internet) and with GBridge, even home users can build their own VPNs to access remote files more securely.
Windows Live Sync at sync.live.com is another great choice for remotely accessing files over the Internet. Just install the Live Sync client on your computer and you can then access the entire hard drive of that computer simply through the Windows Live Sync website.
Live Sync is available for both Mac and Windows. The new version of Live Sync is even better and it has integrated online storage (Live Mesh) so you’ll be able to access your important file even if the remote computer is off.
Finally, you may also want to check out HomePipe – this is an extremely easy and free service that lets you access your home files and media from any other computer or mobile phone. Install the HomePipe Agent and all files on that computer will instantly become available through the web. They also have apps for iPhone and Android phones. Continue Reading...
List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots
Introduction
This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do
not print yellow tracking dots on their output.
Limitations of this information
A "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it
does not prove that there is no forensic watermarking
present. (For example, the HP Color LaserJET 8500 series does
not include any yellow tracking dots that we can see, but it may still
include some kind of forensic marking, since the majority of other
Color LaserJET models do.
techniques have been invented, and we do not yet know how to
determine whether these techniques are used by a particular
printer.)
A "yes" simply means that we (or another source, as noted)
saw yellow dots that appeared anomalous to us. Until
we decipher the marking schemes or receive other confirmation, this
does not constitute proof that any particular kind of information is
represented by these dots. In a very few cases, for example, they
might be the result of a
technique, rather than a forensic mark, or they could be the
result of a poorly calibrated printer. In most cases, we are
confident that the arrangement of dots is intentional and is intended
to track users.
Sources of information
We have employed three sources of information. We looked at
printer output under a blue light and/or a computer microscope; we
consulted press reports about printers (e.g. at
printer manuals and other manufacturer statements. We welcome
additional statements by manufacturers, resellers, or technicians.
Thanks to our friends at software firms and symphonies, public schools
and physics labs, semiconductor fabs and ice cream parlors, in about a
dozen countries around the world.

The Best PDF Reader Apps for your iPad
Apple iPad is an awesome device for reading PDF documents and ebooks – the screen is brilliant, the text and graphics are perfectly legible and it almost feels like you reading a real book.
Favorite PDF Reading Apps for the iPad
The iPad has built-in support for the PDF format. For instance, if you get a PDF document as an email attachment or if you happen to click a PDF link inside the Safari browser, you can read the contents of that file inside the iPad without requiring an external PDF reader app.However, if you have more than a couple of PDF documents to read on your iPad, it makes sense to have a dedicated app. Now there are a few dozen PDF reading apps, both free and paid, in the iTunes store so let’s see which of them are worthy enough to deserve a place on your iPad.
One of the most versatile document viewer app for the iPad is the 99¢ GoodReader that can handle PDFs and a large variety of other formats including Office documents, web pages, audio and video files.
Page turns are a bit slow on Good Reader
You can transfer PDF files from the computer to Good Reader on the iPad via iTunes or using your local Wi-Fi network if you have one. The software can also connect to your online accounts at Google Docs, Dropbox, etc. so you can download PDF files from these locations directly on to the iPad and read them even while you are offline.
GoodReader is a fantastic app for reading PDFs but there’s only one downside. When you turn a page, the next page is not rendered instantly and this lag become slightly more evident when you are flipping heavy pages (that contain graphics).
The next good choice for reading PDFs on your iPad is the Cloud Readers app – it’s both free and simple. You can either use a USB cable or your wireless network to copy PDFs from the computer to Cloud Readers.
There are two things that I really like about Cloud Readers – one, it renders documents really fast and second, there’s a unique “Two Up” view so can you display two pages of a PDF side-by-side (see screenshot).
Another PDF reading app that you should seriously try on your iPad is Stanza from Amazon, yes that same company that also develops the Kindle e-book reader. Like Cloud Readers, Stanza renders PDF pages extremely fast but there’s more.
Stanza has an integrated dictionary so you don’t have to quit the app to find a word meaning, you can easily arrange books in categories* and it also display thumbnails of books and magazines. If you don’t like the default cover image, grab a new one from the web.
[*] Good Reader has folders while Stanza has categories or subjects which are more like labels in Gmail – you can associate one or more categories with a single PDF document.
[**] You can find a mobile version of Adobe Reader for Android and Symbian phones but surprisingly, they have nothing to offer for the iPhone OS that powers the iPhones and the iPads. Continue Reading...
