MLB brings live game streaming to YouTube, but not in U.S.

Major League Baseball is about to begin live streaming America's pastime to fans on YouTube for free, but there is a catch: The arrangement will pass over fans in the U.S. and a handful of other countries where the sport is already dug in.

YouTube announced on Monday that fans in countries other than the U.S., Canada, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan will be able to view two live games per day during the regular season on the video-sharing site. Fans in all countries will be able to view game highlights "about a day or two&… Read more

B1 Free Archiver 1.0.37 Review

File compression and archiving software remains among the most popular downloads, even though Windows integrates a basic but capable compression utility. Aftermarket archive tools tend to be faster, more powerful, and more capable than the Windows utility, and you've got plenty of them to choose from, too -- many of them freeware. We've tried all the big names, including WinZip, 7-Zip, and WinRAR. One tool we haven't tried before is B1 Free Archiver, and we wish we had. This free file compression and archiving solution has a lot going for it, such as wide compatibility with popular … Read more

How to add your Twitter archive to Timehop

One of the downsides to being very active on Twitter and then signing up for a service such as Timehop is that not all of your tweets can be fetched through Twitter's API. Timehop can only go so far back in your Twitter-past, meaning you might not always see your past tweets in your daily roundup.

Timehop is a free service that will e-mail or alert you through its iPhone app of what you were doing one year (or more) ago to the day. It connects to your Facebook, Foursquaure, Twitter, Flickr, and Instagram accounts and presents it to … Read more

It's official: Your Twitter archive is here and now, sort of

Twitter isn't just of the moment. It's also a window into history -- recent history, anyway.

But with 200 million active monthly users populating the service and 1 billion tweets streaming out into the world every 2.5 days, even a few years' worth of history is a lot to keep track of.

To help all of us get a better grip on what we've tweeted (and retweeted) into the public consciousness, Twitter today said that it is introducing the ability to download all of that material into a personal Twitter archive, all the way back to … Read more

Twitter rolls out option to download tweet archive

Twitter has apparently begun rolling out a promised feature that allows users to download their entire archive of tweets.

Enable swipe-to-delete in Gmail 4.2 on Android

One feature Android users have been asking for in the Gmail app has been the ability to swipe and delete or archive a message. With the release of Gmail 4.2, that's now possible.

To enable swipe-to-delete, make sure you have the latest version of Gmail running on your Android device. After you've updated, … Read more
