Connect iPod to TV - Watch Videos, Pictures on Big Screen

Music Videos, movies, TV shows, slideshows of family photographs are more fun to watch on a large TV set than on the tiny iPod Video Screen. Another drawback is that only one person with iPod earphones can listen to the background music - others will only see moving picture and are likely to loose interest very soon.

Fortunately, connecting iPods to the television using standard ports is very much possible. Here we discuss different options to connect the video ipod to your Television set so that you can enjoy the iPod content in the living room with your entire family.

You can find them on on the Amazon website.

Apple iPod AV Cable - The iPod AV Cable provides composite video and audio output for viewing photo slideshows with music on a TV. You can also hook the AV Cable to your stereo or powered speakers.

iPod AV Connection Kit - It comes with a Universal Dock and an iPod AV Cable that connects the iPod to the Audio In ports of the home audio system or the composite video input on a TV or computer monitor.

Apple iPod Universal Dock - This lets you display photos or videos on a TV or Monitor using an iPod AV Cable or a standard S-video cable.

Although iPod nano has a color display, it won't output a slideshow to a TV. Some televisions may need to be set to channel 3 or 4 or "video" to receive input. The correct TV format (NTSC or PAL) can be choosen using the Photos > Slideshow Settings > TV Signal settings in your iPod. Only the Apple iPod AV Cable works with the iPod Headphones and AV port.

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.

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
