Sync photo's on your iPad or iPod

In the iTunes library there's music, movies, tv-shows, podcasts, books, programs, ringtones, radio, ... but not photo's! Why, Apple?
I know there is a way to choose the folders to sync to your iPad, but I want them in the Library, just like all my other media.

Sneaky Yahoo injection

Installation of Panda Cloud antivirus presents me a checked checkbox with the indecent proposal to set Yahoo as my default search engine.
I really do like Panda because of it's cloud solution. But I don't like this imposed use of Yahoo.
When I install CCcleaner or other software from Piriform I am presented a checked checkbox for installation of the Yahoo toolbar.
This sneaky Yahoo pushing must be stopped.

Sort your navigation menu

This article about how important it is to attract your website visitors' attention and gain their trust, by offering them valuable information first, made me think.
Google analytics offers clear insight in the popularity of the links (in the menu) of your website, so you could sort your menu items on popularity with the most popular links at the top, in order to have your visitors seeing these links earlier.
At the same time, these most clicked links appear to lead to the information you're offering :)
So when the most popular links are placed at the top of your menu, your visitors will find what they are looking for faster and they migth stay on your website for a longer time, maybe then they'll fill out your contact form or even buy your product.

Suppose …

  1. that Google or any other major search engine, tracks or has understanding of our searching habits …
  2. that iGoogle, in an attempt to respond to these habits, serves other search results to me than to you …
  3. that we are not totally insensitive to what we encounter on a surfing-ride …
  4. that we will, to at least some amount, adapt our behaviour to our feelings …
  5. that groups of people become manipulatable or controllable in this way …
  6. No … i suppose not.
