Printer Anywhere: Stop Emailing Documents, Just Print them via Internet

Say, you just took a cute picture of your kid that your mom would love to see. Or say, you have a 100 page PDF document that you have to share with a colleague sitting in another corner of the world.

You can use email in both the above cases (or even fax for the PDF file) but the problem is that the picture file size is too big to be sent as an email attachment and you aren't sure if your mom even knows how to open a JPG image file ? And with that 100 page document, sharing just the contents of page 32-34 would suffice so why email the whole document ?

A good alternative in such scenarios is to send a hard copy of the file. I am not suggesting you to print and then snail mail the documents, instead send a print command to your mom or colleague's printer directly from your own computer.

So your next question is how to send a print command remotely via the internet ? Just get Printer Anywhere, a freeware program that lets you print documents from a computer connected to the Internet to other people's printers on the network.



During installation, the software creates a special printer on your computer called PrinterAnywhere. Instead of turning your document into the paper, this printer instead sends it across the network to one of the printer owners (you may not have a printer at all).

Printer Anywhere - Print it anytime, anywhere!

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
