See something in your feeds that you want to read later? See a tweet from someone with a link to an article that you want to follow up on? One click, and it's saved to your Instapaper account. The iPad app especially is a great reading experience, but I've used it for over a year on my iPhone, and find it a very, very easy way to consume text.īut wait, as they say.there's more! In addition to the iPhone/iPad app, Instapaper integrates with a large number of other Apps, especially feed readers like NetNewsWire, Newsrack, and Reeder as well as Twitter applications like Tweetie and Twitterific (among others) support Instapaper integration. You can then view the article at the Instapaper site, but better yet, you can view your reading list on nearly any mobile device, either by visiting the mobile website directly or using one the iPhone/iPad app. When you find something you want to read later, you click the Read Later bookmark, and the text of that article is saved to your Instapaper account. You install Instapaper in the same way you do Readability.visit the site, make some choices, drag a bookmarklet to your browser bar. Instapaper solves this problem by allowing me to transform the online text into something that I can carry around with me, and access in a number of different ways. ![]() I often see references to articles that I'm interested in, but may not have time to read at the moment. Readability is an incredible help if you read online magazines, or other large text blocks online in a browser. Anytime you run across a long article, click the bookmark and Readability gives you a very legible version of the text. All you need to do is make your choices, and then drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark bar in your browser. Choices include style (Newspaper, Novel, eBook, etc), font size, and margin/line length. In the case of Readability, it performs some reformatting magic and strips all the cruft, sidebars, ads, and other surrounding junk on a webpage and gives you a nicely formatted chunk of text in a format that you choose. Readability is a bookmarklet, a little piece of javascript code that lives as a bookmark in your browser's toolbar that allows you to do something to the page that you are viewing. The two tools are the Readability bookmark from Acr90 Labs, and the Instapaper service. These two tools make reading long form text online so much easier and more convenient that I can't recommend them enough. As Instapaper creator Marco Arment once wrote, the market is big enough for multiple modern-day bookmarking services to thrive.I decided that this month I wanted to share a couple of very specific tools that I find invaluable for dealing with information online. Like Safari’s new ‘Reading List’ feature, none will kill the other. It’s also clearly pretty much what Instapaper does ( quite elegantly, I might add), but more than anything it is a welcome addition to the Pulse service that will likely not affect Instapaper usage all that much – I see myself using both alongside each other, actually. No other bells and whistles at this point, but it’s a clean and functional bookmarking app. ![]() Saving to Pulse of course means you can bookmark interesting stories you find on the Web in order to read them later on your Android or iPhone handset, or your iPad. Extensions for other browsers are ‘in the works’, I’m told. ![]() The startup is today debuting both a bookmarklet and a Chrome add-on that enables users to ‘save stories to Pulse’ with a mouse click. Alphonso Labs, the fledgling company behind Pulse, a nifty social news reader for iPhone, iPad and Android devices used by roughly 5 million people, aims to pose a challenge to simple bookmarking tool Instapaper (and a range of other bookmarking and ‘read it later’ apps). ![]()

Tonight, he's traveling all the way to his appointed destination, which, contrary to Mr. Wilson's flight was terminated by the onslaught of his mental breakdown. Wilson is about to be flown home-the difference being that, on that evening half a year ago, Mr. Wilson has just been discharged from a sanitarium where he spent the last six months recovering from a nervous breakdown, the onset of which took place on an evening not dissimilar to this one, on an airliner very much like the one in which Mr. Robert Wilson, thirty-seven, husband, father and salesman on sick leave.

How many other shows in the ‘60s were tackling that topic? But the interaction between the two characters (well, three, but I won’t spoil the episode), is great as well.

As you’d expect from a remaster, the graphical fidelity is hugely improved. Of course, this is a far cry from what I spent hours playing back then.

Perhaps this is more of a pitstop, refueling for bigger and better things ahead. Solid an arcade racer it may be, it’s worth noting the first remaster in Need for Speed’s history comes on the precipice of the next-generation of consoles. Needless to say, this feels like a bit of a stopgap.

Warszawa: Akademos.You may remember a blog I wrote a few months ago commenting on an article describing cancer patients entering Phase I trials as being guilty of “unrealistic optimism” regarding their chances of benefiting from experimental therapy. The Journal of Social Psychology, 127(5), 511-516. Doliński, D., Gromski, W., Zawisza, E.Basic and Applied Social Psychology, 21(2), 119-129.

Unrealistic optimism about future life events. The worse the mood according to the depression scale, the lower the unrealistic optimism, but interestingly, even the most depressed people are optimistic in assessing the chances of various events in the future, so it seems that depression does not cause pessimism, but increases realism … References Unrealistic optimism is lowered in depressive people (Czapiński, 1992). A greater percentage of pessimists than realists and optimists drank Lugol’s liquid, refrained from eating dairy products and spring vegetables, minimized staying outdoors and undertook other activities that could reduce the effects of radiation (Doliński, Gromski, & Zawisza, 1987). Pessimists were more likely than realists and optimists (and there was no difference between them) to take action that could prevent radiation-induced diseases. Their illusion had some advantages, however. Many people felt they were more exposed to harmful radiation than others. It seems that a tragedy has to happen to us personally to make us believe that they do not only happen in the media … After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, even the phenomenon of unrealistic pessimism (the so-called defensive pessimism) was observed. ![]() People, when asked shortly after the earthquake what the probability of it happening again, realistically assess the risk, although in the case of other negative events they are still convinced that it is more likely that it will happen to others than them (Burger, Palmer, 1992 Helweg-Larsen, 1999). Unrealistic optimism is very common in everyday life but fades away in some specific situations. So, according to many Poles, nothing positive or anything negative will happen to them in their lives. But in the case of positive events, unlike Americans who say that they have a greater chance of them, Poles believe that they have a lower chance than other people of the same sex and age (Czapiński, 1998). We believe that what is bad can only happen to others. Here, unrealistic optimism only concerns negative events. However, there are intercultural differences in this matter. Most Americans believe that they have a better chance than their peers of the same sex for a good job, a trip overseas, owning a home and living to over eighty years. We do not wear seat belts, we cycle without a helmet, we do not insure our apartments, we do not regularly attend medical examinations because we are convinced that everything bad happens only to other people and it will not happen to us.Īmerican research (Weinstein, 1980) shows that many people not only believe that negative events are more likely to other people than themselves, but are also convinced that positive events are more likely to them than to others. Many studies show that people are often characterized by unreasonably high optimism, which can also be seen in everyday life. Unrealistic optimism is a concept that is very well known in psychology. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some, like Fotor, even function as a free photo editor so you can ensure that your photos look their best before you begin. ![]() They might not be as powerful as the best video editing software, but they have more than enough tools for what you need. We tested enough photo collage makers to consider ourselves experts, so we thought we'd help you find the best free collage makers for your collage-designing needs. To get started, click 'Collage' and choose either a grid or an illustrated design (in our opinion a simple grid-based layout shows off your photos better). Those marked with a crown are available to premium account holders only, but you can resize the image frames in any grid, so this isn't much of a drawback. You can also adjust the spacing and roundness of the boxes, and pick an aspect ratio for your canvas.Ĭlick 'Add photos', then drag and drop them into the template. Once you’ve inserted an image you’ll be presented with a list of customizable Instagram-style filters to give your collage a bespoke look, plus advanced options for tweaking exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue. There’s a good selection of backgrounds to choose from too (either plain colors, or tasteful geometric patterns), plus clip art and text. Once you’ve finished, you can save your creation as a JPG or PNG file (there’s no PDF option) at a compression setting and size to suit you. You can also share it via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Tumblr, or even print it directly from the browser. It's great fun to use and easy to master, making it our top pick for the best free collage maker. Like all the other browser-based free collage makers here, most of Canva’s photo collage templates are free to use, but there are also premium designs available for a fee. These are clearly marked, so there’s no need to worry about creating a design, then being unable to export it without parting with a handful of cash. To begin, set a new username and password, or sign in with your Facebook or Google account. Select "Personal use" and you’ll be presented with a menu of project types, including social media graphics, banners, book covers, and presentations. Select 'Photo collage' then 'See all collage templates' to see the full set of free options available. Alternatively, click 'Elements' and choose a grid, then start adding the images, borders, icons, and other items that will make up your collage. ![]() To add your own pictures, click 'Uploads' and drag them from your desktop. You can then drag them straight onto your collage canvas. You can also add images from Facebook, or from Canva’s own library of free pictures. ![]() If you’ve chosen a grid layout, they will be resized and cropped to fit automatically. Once you’re done, you can save your collage as a printable PDF, PNG, or JPG file, or make it public for others to use. You can even add crop marks and bleed space – an option that’s very useful for professional printing, and absent from most free collage makers. The only drawback of Canva is that you can’t set the resolution of the output file (although you do have a choice of standard or print-quality PDFs). Beyond that, it’s a truly superb free collage maker. There are currently two versions of Fotor’s free collage maker – one that uses Flash, and another built with HTML5. The former will soon be phased out in favour of the latter, but they work the same way.įotor's design isn’t quite as intuitive as Canva’s, but it’s still much quicker and easier than creating a collage from first principles. All of Fotor’s essential features are free, with extras available for a subscription fee. Premium membership also removes ads from the collage creator. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our systems are designed to recognize terms and phrases that might be violent, sexually-explicit, hateful, disparaging or dangerous. Secondly, if our automated systems don’t catch predictions that violate our policies, we have enforcement teams that remove predictions in accordance with those policies. First and foremost, we have systems designed to prevent potentially unhelpful and policy-violating predictions from appearing. We deal with these potential issues in two ways. We also recognize that some queries are less likely to lead to reliable content. It’s also possible that people might take predictions as assertions of facts or opinions. There’s the potential to show unexpected or shocking predictions. But like anything, predictions aren’t perfect. Predictions, as explained, are meant to be helpful ways for you to more quickly finish completing something you were about to type. That’s also why it differs from and shouldn’t be compared against Google Trends, which is a tool for journalists and anyone else who’s interested to research the popularity of searches and search topics over time. ![]() Overall, Autocomplete is a complex time-saving feature that’s not simply displaying the most common queries on a given topic. Predictions will reflect the queries that are unique and relevant to a particular topic. In contrast, “trip to San Francisco” may show a prediction of “trip to San Francisco and Yosemite.” Even if two topics seem to be similar or fall into similar categories, you won’t always see the same predictions if you try to compare them. For example, someone searching for “trip to New York” might see a prediction of “trip to New York for Christmas,” as that’s a popular time to visit that city. People, places and things all have different attributes that people are interested in. Predictions also will vary, of course, depending on the specific topic that someone is searching for. However, if that team just won a big face-off against a rival, timely game-related predictions may be more useful for those seeking information that’s relevant in that moment. ![]() For example, searches for a basketball team are probably more common than individual games. If our automated systems detect there’s rising interest in a topic, they might show a trending prediction even if it isn’t typically the most common of all related predictions that we know about. We also take freshness into account when displaying predictions. For instance, if you were to type in “best star trek…”, we’d look for the common completions that would follow, such as “best star trek series” or “best star trek episodes.” To determine what predictions to show, our systems begin by looking at common and trending queries that match what someone starts to enter into the search box. ![]() Where predictions come fromĪutocomplete predictions reflect searches that have been done on Google. We’ll also look at why not all predictions are helpful, and what we do in those cases. In this post, we’ll explore how Autocomplete’s predictions are automatically generated based on real searches and how this feature helps you finish typing the query you already had in mind. These time-saving predictions are from a feature called Autocomplete, which we covered previously in this How Search Works series. As soon as you start typing, predictions appear in the search box to help you finish what you’re typing. You come to Google with an idea of what you’d like to search for. ![]() ![]() ![]() It has more than 110 different voices and effects, which you can apply to your voice in real-time.Īpart from the built-in voices, Voicemod also has the option of adding your own voice filters using Voicelab.

The picture on the left is my original, the right has added HDR-ish effect. But, I really do like the sharpness and contrast that HDR-ish can give.
