Fill out PDFs online with PDF Filler

Web app PDF Filler lets you upload and fill out PDF forms online.

Just upload your PDF, then click and enter text anywhere on the form you need. PDF Filler is a great tool for filling out any PDF when you don’t have access to the right desktop tools to accomplish the same thing. On the other hand, you should keep an eye on what kind of form you’re filling out, since you probably shouldn’t be too eager to enter your SS#, for example, on a third party web app like this. However, PDF Filler is a good tool to have in your toolkit should you find yourself with a PDF that needs filling out and need a quick way to do it.

Globalization in Action: Everyone Really Does Have an iPod

I’m not sure what’s scarier, the AK-47 she’s holding or the iPod’s invasion of all corners of the globe. Actually, my real question is: Would it be possible to replace the lip plate with a speaker?

Google – Image of the Day

So, umm, someone on Digg found this weird structure on Google Maps, hmm, what you think it looks like? A toilet? Horseshoe?

The best guess so far is “American ‘Super Bowl‘”.

Okay, that’s a joke… :) -

HandBrake (All platforms)

Windows/Mac/Linux: Rip DVDs to your iPod with HandBrake, the latest version of the program previously known as MediaFork.

HandBrake can turn DVDs into iPod-friendly MPEG-4 or H.264 video files. It includes iPod, Apple TV and even Sony PS3 presets, but you can also customize various audio and video settings to your liking. (Needless to say, the ripped files will also play on Zunes and other devices.)

Windows users can choose between GUI and CLI versions; both require DVD43 to be installed if you want to rip copy-protected DVDs (the ones you own, of course). Also, be sure to choose the VIDEO_TS folder when you browse the DVD, and then select the “title” that contains the actual movie (it’s usually the longest one). For Windows users in particular, HandBrake definitely makes easier work of copying DVDs to your iPod, though the overall process still takes a few hours.

Still in beta, HandBrake is free; it’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Google vs. God

Yay, another Google vs. God from the North Shore Assembly of God.

Google can’t satisfy every search

Google is not omniscient, it can’t read your mind. You can only get satisfy results with good search terms.

Ubuntu 7.04 (All platforms)

All platforms: Ubuntu 7.04, a.k.a. Feisty Fawn, is the latest version of the mega-popular Linux distro.

The new features in this release include a Windows migration tool, which can import bookmarks, wallpaper, AOL IM contacts and more; a wizard for installing codecs not shipped with Ubuntu; an improved network manager that can find and connect to wired and wireless networks; a Desktop Effects applet; and Jetpipe, a new printing architecture for thin clients.

Although some Digg users have reported clogged servers, I had no trouble downloading the disc image. Ubuntu 7.04 is free; it can run on any PC with an AMD64 or Intel x86 processor, as well as SPARC servers.
