[Domain Name] Three cool tools to select a good domain name
Year 2009 - What is it? Countdown Begins.
2009 is the named as the Year of the International Astronomy
The International Year of Astronomy is a year-long celebration of astronomy, taking place in 2009 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo Galilei and the publication of Johannes Kepler's Astronomia nova in the 17th century. The Year was declared by the 62nd General Assembly of the UN. A global scheme, laid out by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), has also been endorsed by UNESCO - the UN body responsible for Educational, Scientific and Cultural matters.
Both the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO are coordinating the International Year of Astronomy in 2009.
This initiative is an opportunity for the citizens of Earth to gain a deeper insight into astronomy’s role in enriching all human cultures.
Moreover, it will serve as a platform for informing the public about the latest astronomical discoveries while emphasizing the essential role of astronomy in science education.
GoDaddy is the BEST Domain Register!!
Happy New Year to all the Crazzy cool readers!
Do you want to buy domain? For cheap? Full access? Activated within a minute? No configuration? Then here's a quick post on why Go Daddy is the BEST Domain register around
1. My favorite domain registar is godaddy because you can always find discount codes from other tech sites.
2. GoDaddy because he makes me call him DADDY! ;)
3. GoDaddy. Because they still treat me with "mom-and-pop" quality service. Whenever I call
for anything, always taken care of.
4. Godaddy because EXCELLENT customer service.
5. GoDaddy,because of hosting cheapness and they added a free year to my domain registration!
6. Godaddy. haven't tried others, but haven't really needed to. full service.
7. GoDaddy - What can I say, they've been good to me
8. GODADDY.com: not the least expensive but close; they call ME to tell me how to save
money; no problems since the start in '05.
9. GoDaddy - What can I say, they've been good to me
10. GODADDY also called to change all my domain renewals to same date, something I kept
forgetting to do. That's customer service!
You'll find a GoDaddy banner at the bottom of the page or HERE so feel free to visit it.
Cheers and Happy New Year again.

Checkout Google Storage Meter
Google has made it easier.
Visit
https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageStorage
Though, I don't think this is the complete view of ALL the data stored on Google.
e.g It doesn't show Google Search History, Google Docs, Blogger etc. WHY??
is Google trying to say that the data on these sites don't belong to me but to Google??

[Slax] Solve mounting USB hard drive
In previous posts I have mentioned the importance of Slax (LiveCD version of Linux) in situations when Windows crashed. You can easily retrieve your important files before your reinstall Windows.
When Slax auto detect External hard drives but it permission defaulted to read only. Slax will not allow you to change the file permission. You will not be able to copy important files to the external hard drive.
Following steps will fix the permission problem.
Open Slax Konsole (Terminal Control) - This is like the Windows command prompt
Type the following commands in
umount /mnt/sdc1
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 -o force
sometimes sdc1 might have to be changed to sdb1 sda1 depends on how Slax assigned your external hard drive.
Now you should be able to copy, rename, delete files from your external hard drive.

No iBoobs on iPhone
An application that allows iPhone users to wobble a pair of breasts has been rejected by Apple's application store, denying iPhone geeks the nearest thing to sex they'll get this holiday season.
The application was rejected on the grounds of "objectionable content", though with the caveat: "If you believe that you can make the necessary changes so that iBoobs does not violate the iPhone SDK Agreement we encourage you to do so."

iPhone Nano is coming!
Well Apple has not officially accepted or denied that they will be releasing iPhone Nano, which will be a cut down and a smaller version of iPhone but what would you say when www.iphonenano.com Redirects to Apple iPhone Site!!
There's also a pretty good chance that the iPhone nano will be available at Retails such as Walmart.
This will make it easier to purchase mobile phones and increase impulsive buyings.
Rest assured, CrazzyCool will be the first one to find out when Apple makes the announcement.
So stay tuned and watch this space...
P.s. Will there be an iPhone Shuffle?

Ronaldo is on iPhone Games!
It's available right now on the App Store for $9.99
The gameplay itself starts very simply -- you control a little rolling guy called a Rolando by tilting the iPhone left or right. But bit by bit, Rolando adds more and more to the process -- with a swipe on the screen, your Rolando can jump, and there are things to move and press in the landscape, and you can find other Rolandos, and select multiple ones just by dragging a rectangle around them. And there are "royal spikey commandos" that will stick to things, and bombs and platforms, and shadowy bad guys to avoid, and a King and Prince to save, and, and, and... Things spiral into complexity pretty quickly, but Rolando never lets them get out of hand: the controls are flawless (there's always something you can hit or do to bring back whatever you're working on into focus, and by dragging two fingers on the screen, you can explore the levels to find a path to try), and, like the greatest platforming games, the difficulty curve lets you explore first and then excel later.

iPhone 3G finally unlocked by the Dev-Team!
Well this has been a long time coming. It seems that the iPhone Dev-Team has finally done the impossible -- they've gone and unlocked the iPhone 3G. The hack isn't out yet (the team says they're shooting for a December 31st release), and it requires that you've got a baseband of 2.11.07 or earlier, but when it drops, the crew seems fairly confident it will result in freedom from carrier oppression. The team is packaging the app -- formerly codenamed "yellowsn0w" -- into a user-friendly app a la PwnageTool and QuickPwn. Of course, you know how this cat and mouse game goes by now, so don't be surprised when Jobs and company come calling with an update that adds toast making to the official menu, but breaks your breaks all over again.

Surprisingly, Chrome is not yet available on Mac!

Installing an Operating System on Your USB
Why it is important to have a OS installed in USB?
1. Portability - Not like a CD USB a flash drive is really small and you have high capacity so you will be able to have your files as well. Also, it is more reliable.
2. In a situation where your current OS is crashed you can retrieve the important files to your USB or another external hard drive.
3. Of course your can access any computer without cracking usernames or passwords. But do not do that as it is not ethical. Other hand it is impossible to stop your data been exposed or destroyed if you give access to hardware.
This is a quite interesting post and can do many experiments base on it.

How to Install Boxee on Apple Tv
Before I go any further - please read what boxee is below
boxee is a social media center. with boxee you can play videos, music and pictures from your PC or from the Internet. you can also share with your friends what albums you're listening to, what movies and TV shows you're watching, send recommendations and more.
boxee is designed to work with a remote control (it looks great on a big screen TV), but you can also control it using your keyboard.
once installed boxee will start scanning your local Movies, Music and Pictures folders automatically. boxee will attempt to bring artwork, reviews, cast, etc. for your media, so browsing your library becomes more useful and fun than looking at a list of files.
Here are the ways of installing boxee on your AppleTv
- insert a bootable USB key (1GB) to one of your USB slots and run the USB Creator (disconnect any external USB drives connected to your laptop to avoid crying once you discovered you just formatted a 1TB drive with all your media..). see a video how-to guide.
- plug the patchstick into your Apple TV and reboot it (i.e. disconnect and reconnect power cord), you’ll see a penguin. this is good. now wait till it finishes the install.
- take out the patchstick and reboot
- you’ll see a new option in the Apple TV menu ‘xbmc/boxee’, go to Update and choose ‘Boxee’. let it do its thing.
