The iFixit Repair Manifesto

Inspired by Mister Jalopy's/MAKE's Maker's Bill of Rights and Platform 21's Repair Manifesto, the folks at iFixit have created this lovely repair manifesto and poster. They're on a mission to get this thing up in hackerspaces, workshops, bulletin boards, and garages the world over. They've even printed 1500 copies of the poster that they're giving away, in exchange for a Tweet or FB mention (and you have to register on iFixit). You can also download and print your own. They'll also be including a free poster in the next 5,000 iFixIt parts orders.

Google Wave now lets you export waves to Zip files

Google Wave Zip export

Google has just announced the availability of a Zip export tool for waves created in the almost defunct Google Wave. This looks like it's just the first step of many that will let you get the data you've created in Wave out of the service before it's eventually shut down forever.

Within any wave, there's now an Export menu that lets you save the wave and any attachments that have been added to it into a Zip archive. Of course, manually saving each wave may work well for those who only have a handful of waves they want to save, but isn't really a viable option for Wave power users (because apparently there were some of those). For them, an easier batch export method is coming soon.

Google aims to keep Wave available at least until the end of this year,and, rather intriguingly, has announced it's working on "ways for you to access waves through Google Docs". This may just mean that a tool to import waves into Google Docs will be made available -- or perhaps Google had a change of heart and is going to bake some kind of Wave functionality into Docs? Time will tell, for sure.

Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 02:40 PM PST

itwbennett writes "About 200 employees from 7 Chinese ad reselling companies are protesting outside Google's offices in Shanghai in response to Google terminating their contracts, said Fan Meiyong, a representative for the group. 40 of those have gone on a hunger strike that will last until the group's grievances are resolved, Fan added. The ad resellers have said they have held talks with Google about the matter but they still don't know why the contracts were terminated. The group has even written an open letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, asking them for their intervention."

History Deleter for Firefox lets you selectively purge browsing history

Posted: 09 Nov 2010 02:00 PM PST

Let's say you've browsed somewhere you shouldn't have, or at a time when it was inappropriate. And maybe you've even forgotten to turn on the private browsing mode. Tsk tsk tsk! But the deed is done; now what?

If you just go ahead and hit Ctrl+Shift+Del in Firefox, you will be able to delete all traces of your browsing from the past several hours, from today, or even the entire history. But that's not very subtle, is it? Anyone auditing your browser history might notice a large, gaping hole in the records and start wondering.

What if you could delete only those traces you didn't want seen, leaving the rest undisturbed? That would be far more difficult to track down. But going over your entire browsing history and hunting those errant URLs one by one is tedious, not to mention error prone.

History Deleter is a Firefox add-on aimed at automating this entire process. It utilizes a complex rule-based system that allows you to delete URLs (or page titles) containing certain keywords, which have been visited more than once or browsed a certain number of days ago. You can also have it automatically run upon exiting Firefox, or when the history exceeds a certain number of entries.

Clearly, this has uses other than hiding illicit browsing; Firefox's extensive history is used by the Awesome Bar to yield useful browsing suggestions, but the browser can easily become slow when burdened with too many entries. History Deleter can help you make Firefox a bit leaner, while still enjoying the Awesome Bar and other history-related features.
