We're not exactly going to win a medal for figuring this one out, but still. We've eaten this simple, creamy, peppery dish several times at Cafe Gitane in New York City (for breakfast as well as an appetizer at dinner) and finally made it at home... We don't know the restaurant's exact preparation, but the bread is always a thick, nutty whole grain and there's a kicker — a big sprinkling of red pepper flakes ...

Ubiquity was officially announced this week. I installed it and I find myself using it all the time for really simple, but very useful, stuff. I use a calculator a lot. Now, when I'm in the middle of typing an email or reading a web page, I just hit two keys and type "calc 3256/3+2456" and there's my answer. If I see a word I don't know, I just hit two keys and type "define ...

Good posture is something I need to work on, being a lifelong sloucher. I slouch at work, I slouch when driving, I even sort of slouch when standing (I lean on anything and everything when standing). This device senses when the body slouches and vibrates to remind the wearer to straighten up. Much better than having your mom follow you everywhere and twisting your ear. |via Trendhunter|

Add this to your list of must have iPhone applications. Direct Line (iTunes link) is a service that helps you automatically navigate phone trees to get right to an operator (exactly what companies don’t want you to do). Install the application, browse of search the included companies, and select the one you want. Direct Line then calls the number and preselects the appropriate choices to get you to an actual person. The service operates much ...

neat idea. Incredibly difficult to keep the "maps" of company call tree up to date. I would venture to guess its harder than what we do at Overlay TV to import videos from sites like Veoh and Tudou - their sites change frequently.

Few days ago was girlfriend’s 22th birthday, and I gave her a Creative Zen with video support… to let her be able to cross the world watching her favorites cartoons and youtube videos! During last nights I worked hard (yeah it was my first GUI ever, and first attempt with Gtk#) to give them another gift (it is a surprise), and now something is working: ZenCoder is ready!

This is a nice instructable that uses (4) USB "Thumb Drives" and an old floppy disk enclosure to a make an external solid state hard drive. I know 8GB is not a lot of space, but it could hold some very useful and/or important information. I was able to find 1GB USB drives on Amazon for $2 and several different 8GB drives for $15.

When it comes to the availability of good mapping data, not all parts of the world are created equal. That’s why Google is taking a wiki approach to filling out the white spaces on its maps, particularly in developing nations. Back in June, it launched Map Maker for a small group of island nations where there isn’t great existing cartography data. But now it’s added India to the countries that can be modified on Google ...

I hope they do this here. Google maps needs some serious editing by the masses. Wiki would be the way to go.

French cookery scientist Hervé This says that the 10-minute boiled egg is the wrong way to go about cooking your eggs. Temperature and not time is the governing factor to gloriously boiled eggs. Recall that when an egg cooks, its proteins first unwind and then link to form a rigidifying mesh. But not all its proteins solidify at the same temperature. Ovotransferrin, the first of the egg-white proteins to uncoil, begins to set at around ...

Today, he is announcing the launch of Ubiquity, an experiment in using natural language to invoke Web services. Ubiquity is an extension to the Firefox browser that lets you type in what you want to do—insert a map, translate this page, Twitter this block of text, search on Google—and invokes one of 30 Web services.
