Podtrans – banish iTunes

Podtrans – banish iTunes and manage your music the easy way

There’s no getting away from it, you either love or hate iTunes, the Apple application for managing the media on your iPod or iPhone. If you’ve grown up with the program, you’ll probably forgive its little quirks, and an interface that can be somewhat bewildering. But for newcomers to Apple devices, iTunes can be frustrating, especially when it’s such an integral part of the Apple experience.

That’s why it’s always nice to see alternatives hit the market, such as this new Podtrans freeware. The software replaces iTunes on Windows computers and allows for transfer to and from your computer and iDevice, without all the fuss and bother.

The first thing you’ll notice about the program is the fact that the interface is delightfully simple. Export, Import, Delete…the main elements don’t get much simpler than that. The software manages all forms of media, including video, music and exotica such as podcasts, and can cope with all iDevices and versions of the Windows operating system.

The free version of the product supports import and export of music, but for the full range of iTunes library functionality (including iTunes recovery, iPod to iPod transfer and unlimited library support) you’ll need to upgrade to the $29.99 version.

Newsle Tells You When Your Friends Are in the News

Newsle Scans Your Social Networks and Tells You When Your Friends Are in the News

Whitson Gordon

Social networks like Facebook are a great way to keep up with the latest goings-on in your friends’ lives, but you only really see what they post. Newsle is a cool tool that shows you when your friends show up in news stories around the net, so you can see the other stuff they’ve accomplished.

Some people will post every detail of their work on Facebook and LinkedIn, but others won’t, and it’s handy to see what your friends have been up to—particularly if you’ve been a little out of touch. Newsle is simple: you give it access to your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts, it grabs the names of your friends, and then shows you all the recent news stories that mention them. It’s actually quite cool (except for the last step where it tries to invite all your friends—just make sure to click the smaller “skip this step” button). Hit the link below to check it out.

Google Simplifies the Search Interface

Google Simplifies the Search Interface

After a few months of testing, Google released a new search interface that removes the left sidebar and replaces it with a much simpler horizontal bar placed below the search box. A similar UI was launched last year for tablets and last month for smartphones, so Google tries to offer a consistent user experience.

While the old features are still available, the advanced search tools are no longer displayed by default. You need to click "search tools" and pick the right option. Google used to display some relevant search tools and the old interface made it easier to find recent results. Now you need 3 clicks to find results from the past 24 hours instead of only one click (sometimes two clicks). Another issue is that it's much easier to accidentally click the ads when you're using the search tools.

"With the new design, there's a bit more breathing room, and more focus on the answers you're looking for, whether from web results or from a feature like the Knowledge Graph. It's going out to Google.com users in the U.S. to start, and we want to get it to users in other languages and regions as soon as we can," informs Google.
