			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants to have their site rank well in <a href="http://www.nichefacts.com/SearchEngineLoophole">Google</a>.</p>
<p>And why not? Not only can Google send you a boatload of free traffic - it&#8217;s also highly targeted, and it&#8217;s one of the best ways to drive business.</p>
<p>The problem is, that exact same ideal is shared with thousands of your direct competitors. This creates an environment where you&#8217;ll always be fighting, kicking and scratching to maintain your traffic - along with the ever present fear that your livelihood is only one &#8220;algorithm update&#8221; away from vanishing.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s if you can even get ranked for any decent keyword, to begin with&#8230;</p>
<p>In fact, only the largest, most-established authority sites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly - several times a day, in some cases.</p>
<p>The fact is - it&#8217;s getting harder and harder for the &#8220;little guy&#8221; to get any kind of meaningful web presence on the web these days.</p>
<p>Getting ranked in Google is almost impossible unless you&#8217;ve got a major promotional budget and some time on your hands to &#8220;wait&#8221; for your domain to become trusted (Google favors older domains). And advertising with pay-per-click ads isn&#8217;t affordable like it once was.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nichefacts.com/SearchEngineLoophole">Search engines</a> marketing has finally become what everyone feared it would - a game reserved for big business.</p>
<p>But what if there was still a way to legtiimately rank for keywords with tons of traffic?</p>
<p>And what if you could do this without having to spend months and even years building up an authority site to do so?</p>
<p>In fact - what if you could systematically create one-page minisites that could rapidly rank in the top 3 spots (consistently) for basically any keyword you target within a matter of a week or so?</p>
<p>Is this for real?</p>
<p>YES.</p>
<p>But not with Google.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s happening right now, as we speak, on MSN.com</p>
<p>Now - before you think it - yes, I know, MSN doesn&#8217;t have nearly the reach that Google does. But, it still does receive millions and millions of search users daily. After all - MSN is the default home-page for anyone who first uses Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>And, to put it in perspective, which would drive more traffic?</p>
<p>Occupying the #1 ranking for your most desirable keyword target on MSN?</p>
<p>Or occupying the #47 spot on page 5 of Google&#8217;s results?</p>
<p>Sadly, it&#8217;s actually more effort to make it to the 47th spot in Google than it is to literally dominate in MSN.</p>
<p>How does this work?</p>
<p>Watch this video to find out: <a href="http://www.nichefacts.com/SearchEngineLoophole">Search Engine Loophole</a></p>
<p>Like I said - forget about Google.</p>
<p>Focus on something that you can actually WIN with, and win big!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>K-State, Wichita State collaborative research studies wheat bran from different wheat varieties, effect on suppressing colon cancer</p>
<p>MANHATTAN &#8212; We&#8217;ve heard the conflicting information: Wheat bran can reduce the risk of colon cancer in humans; wheat bran does not reduce the risk in humans.</p>
<p>But which one is true?</p>
<p>Both, sort of.</p>
<p>In the mid-1990s, grain science nutritionists at Kansas State University discovered that bran from one variety of wheat actually suppressed cancer in laboratory tests, while bran from another wheat variety did not.</p>
<p>According to Ronald Madl, director of bioprocessing and industrial value added programs with K- State&#8217;s department of grain science and industry, the confusion set in because the resulting medical literature really did not appreciate the genetic diversity in wheat &#8212; that not all wheat bran is the same.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a consequence, medical literature that followed the initial work sometimes said that wheat bran did suppress cancer,&#8221; Madl said. &#8220;Other medical literature said it did not <a title="Cancer Lung" href="http://www.naturalremediescures.com/category/cancerlung-lung-cancer-cures-remedies-treatment/">suppress cancer</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a cooperative effort that picked up where that previous research left off, Madl and other researchers from K-State &#8212; including Carol Klopfenstein, professor emeritus of grain science and industry, Delores Takemoto, professor of biochemistry, and Weiqun Wang, assistant professor of human nutrition &#8212; joined with John Carter, associate professor of physical therapy at Wichita State, and discovered the diversity of phytochemicals in wheat bran. They tested about 120 varieties, all with different levels of antioxidants, from very high to very low. Further studies showed wheat bran with a higher antioxidant content demonstrated a potential to <a title="Cancer Breast" href="http://www.naturalremediescures.com/category/invasive-breast-cancer-cures-remedies/">suppress cancer cells</a>.</p>
<p>Madl said in subsequent testing on human cancer cells, the bran from high antioxidant wheat varieties either actually killed some of the cancer cells or stopped their growth; the medium and low antioxidant varieties had less of or no effect &#8212; the cancer cells kept growing like normal.</p>
<p>Further testing has shown that wheat high in antioxidants demonstrated a significant suppression in both size and number of tumors, while intermediate levels of wheat antioxidants experienced an intermediate level of cancer activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since then, we have been trying to move this research to the next stage, understanding which particular compounds are responsible for this benefit,&#8221; Madl said. &#8220;Antioxidant activity is expressed by a lot of chemical compounds, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that all antioxidants express that same beneficial, biological effect. Now, we&#8217;re trying to determine which antioxidants are actually responsible for cancer suppression.&#8221;</p>
<p>Madl said K-State wheat breeders would like to enhance the levels of antioxidants in wheat.</p>
<p>&#8220;The long-term opportunity is that we could produce new wheat varieties with higher levels of antioxidants, and then carry out research to show that these varieties can reduce cancer risk,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Madl said that once researchers have determined the wheat bran varieties with enhanced levels of antioxidants, clinical studies could be considered for humans to demonstrate if wheat bran could reduce the risk of colon cancer.</p>
<p>Madl said K-State research is currently focused on testing methodology. Development of more rapid screening methods for antioxidants in wheat could make the screening process for wheat breeders, as well as making the wheat selection process for food processors, quicker and more feasible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">This concept is confused by those who are new to internet marketing. I am going to try to make this a very simple explanation, yet please make sure that you contact me if you have any questions. This is very important and you should fully understand the difference between an internet marketer and a web designer before you choose to ask for <a title="Internet Marketing Help" href="http://www.internetmarketinghelpline.com">internet marketing help</a>.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Definition of Web Designers:</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Web designers are those who are paid to design web sites for individuals or businesses. These people are usually pros with html code, php, and all of the other types of programming that is commonly found on web sites. They focus very deeply on the color schematics and graphics of a web page in order to produce the flashiest end result. Sometimes they even create sites in FLASH, which is a type of design that you may have seen on sites in the past with a lot of motion and movement on the page. Sometimes, the pages even have a short introduction scene. These designers can be very talented, and sometimes they charge very healthy prices for their services. I have seen some quotes as low as $5,000 and up to $15,000 for some business websites.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Even though the sites that typical web designers produce may be very aesthetically pleasing, you must ask yourself a very important question before pulling out your wallet. Do you want a nice looking site only, or do you wish to have a site that is designed to get you brand new customers. The two desires could change whether or not you go with a web designer or an internet marketer for your project.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Definition of <a title="Internet Marketing Help" href="http://www.internetmarketinghelpline.com">Internet Marketing Help</a></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Internet marketers do exactly what their name states, they market on the internet. The actual website in itself to them is not as important as the actual marketing of the website. This is not to say that the websites that an internet marketer produces are not aesthetically pleasing, because they certainly are attractive looking sites.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The difference is that internet marketers usually use a different web site design and mechanism in order to receive the most favoritism from <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Google</em>. What good is your website, if you are not being sent new customers from the most popular search engines like <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Google</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yahoo</em>, and <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MSN</em>? Search engine marketing is crucial for internet marketers to acquire the success that they desire. However, do not think that search engine marketing is the only tool that internet marketers utilize. There are many other off-page optimization techniques that can be utilized to market one&rsquo;s website, and this is a tactic that 99% of web designers do not wish to utilize with their customers.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">John&rsquo;s Philosophy for the <a title="Internet Marketing Help" href="http://www.internetmarketinghelpline.com">Internet Marketing Helpline</a></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">My main goal of this article was not to diminish web designers or the skills that they possess. However, I did want you to realize that sometimes more than just web design is needed for you to have success with your new website. It can sit idle without many visitors per day, or you can choose the <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Internet Marketing Helpline</em> to turbocharge your web marketing so that your new site actually reaches your prospective client base.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web conferencing is very advantageous. But beware, just like attending meetings and presentations in a round table or in a conference room, there are certain things you need to do, particular etiquettes you need to practice and habits you have to avoid.</p>
<p>Do&#8217;s</p>
<p>Plan Ahead</p>
<p>Like all things with a <a title="Stay At Home Moms Business" href="http://www.itcanhappen4u2.com" target="_blank">stay at home moms business</a> prepare you presentation beforehand. Send the necessary materials through email or put them live online so that the attendees will be able to read them before the scheduled meeting and presentation.</p>
<p>Be Punctual</p>
<p>In normal meetings of stay at home moms being on time is very important. Web conference is no different. Common sense will tell you that since you don&#8217;t have to travel to go to the location of the meeting, there is no excuse for being late. It is also impolite to let others wait especially if you are the one who will give the presentation. Besides, all you have to do is to find an available internet connection to be at the meeting.</p>
<p>Find a Good Location</p>
<p>Normal <a title="Internet Based Affiliate Marketing" href="http://www.itcanhappen4u2.com" target="_blank">Internet based affiliate marketing</a> meetings are held in places where there is privacy and little or no distractions. This should also be the case for attendees of a web conference; more so if it is video and audio conference. Go to an office or a room where there are no movements (for video conference) and no noise (for audio conference) on the background. Movements and noise are very destructive; avoid them all the time.</p>
<p>Be respectful</p>
<p>The manner of speaking and gestures are always subject for interpretation in any meeting. In a Internet marketing web conference where you are not actually inside on room, speaking and gestures may be subjected to misinterpretations; so be careful. Take note: a Internet marketing web conference is just regular meeting held online. All rules and etiquettes of ordinary meetings still apply.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;ts</p>
<p>Avoid too much movement  <br />You are on TV (sort of) and too much movement is very distracting for others. Moreover, other attendees might be using a low bandwidth connection so try to hold still.</p>
<p>Avoid doing other things whenever you are in a web conference like eating, drinking and using your cellphone. Avoid typing, scanning papers, looking for things inside the drawer and talking to other people. Again, all rules and etiquettes of ordinary meetings still apply in a web conference.</p>
<p>If you are transmitting good audio, background noise can be heard on other lines.</p>
<p>Avoid using wifi signal<br />Wifi is good if you are out and you need emergency internet signal. But during a web conference meeting, try to steer away from it. Wifi can be very unstable that can disrupt the meeting. Avoid wifi signals at the airport, restaurant, park and even in coffee shops.</p>
<p>Avoid putting attendees on hold<br />If you are in a meeting, make sure that your attention is completely there. Putting attendees on hold is rude. It interrupts the flow of the meeting and wastes the time of the participants. If in case you need to do something extremely important, excuse yourself instead of putting them on hold. Go back or reschedule the meeting if you are ready.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that there are other matters that are best discussed in person. If time and economics permit, try to hold meetings with other moms in person but if not, web conferencing is one of the <a title="Best Online Marketing Tools" href="http://www.best-online-marketing-tools.com" target="_blank">best online marketing tools</a> and one of the best tools to get your message across.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A web site is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. <a title="Web design Berkshire" href="http://www.planet-ia.com/">Designing</a> a web site is defined as the arrangement and creation of web pages that in turn make up a web site. A web page consists of information for which the web site is developed. A web site might be compared to a book, where each page of the book is a web page.</p>
<p>There are many aspects (design concerns) in this process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new aspects may emerge. For non-commercial web sites, the goals may vary depending on the desired exposure and response. For typical commercial web sites, the basic aspects of <a title="Web design Berkshire" href="http://www.planet-ia.com/">web design</a> are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The content: the substance, and information on the site should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.</li>
<li>The usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.</li>
<li>The appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.</li>
<li>The visibility: the site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.</li>
</ul>
<p>A web site typically consists of text and images. The first page of a web site is known as the Home page or Index. Some web sites use what is commonly called a Splash Page. Splash pages might include a welcome message, language or region selection, or disclaimer. Each web page within a web site is an HTML file which has its own URL. After each web page is created, they are typically linked together using a navigation menu composed of hyperlinks. Faster browsing speeds have led to shorter attention spans and more demanding online visitors and this has resulted in less use of Splash Pages, particularly where commercial web sites are concerned.</p>
<p>Once a web site is completed, it must be published or uploaded in order to be viewable to the public over the internet. This may be done using an FTP client. Once published, the web master may use a variety of techniques to increase the traffic, or hits, that the web site receives. This may include submitting the web site to a search engine such as Google or Yahoo, exchanging links with other web sites, creating affiliations with similar web sites, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Multidisciplinary requirements</strong></p>
<p><a title="Web design Berkshire" href="http://www.planet-ia.com/">Web site design</a> crosses multiple disciplines of information systems, information technology and communication design. The web site is an information system whose components are sometimes classified as front-end and back-end. The observable content (e.g. page layout, user interface, graphics, text, audio) is known as the front-end. The back-end comprises the organization and efficiency of the source code, invisible scripted functions, and the server-side components that process the output from the front-end. Depending on the size of a Web development project, it may be carried out by a multi-skilled individual (sometimes called a web master), or a project manager may oversee collaborative design between group members with specialized skills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The thing you never wanted to happen just has!  You could have found out while you were taking a shower, using the bathroom or any number of way&#8217;s which we prefer not to mention here.  You have noticed something peculiar around your genital area and quickly realize that it should definitely not be down there at all.  With knowing certainty you do an internet search of the symptoms or call your GP, and you find out for certain what it is you&rsquo;re looking at&hellip;you&#8217;ve got yourself a genital wart.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not the end of the world, but it is something you need to take care of immediately.  One <a title="Genital Warts Statistics" href="http://genitalwartsadvice.com/statistics/">genital wart</a> is going to be followed by another and another unless you go to your doctor and get medication.  In fact, chances are you&rsquo;re not going to see just one genital wart, you&rsquo;re going to see many.</p>
<p>Sometimes, a <a title="Genital Wart" href="http://genitalwartsadvice.com">genital wart</a> will actually go away on its own, but the chances of that happening are pretty low.  Instead, you&rsquo;re going to want to get a cream or other medication from your doctor.  In some cases, large genital warts or a genital wart that does not respond to the cream may need to be <a title="Genital Warts Treatment" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Can-Genital-Warts-Be-Treated?&amp;id=1756468">removed in other ways</a> such as laser surgery or having the wart frozen off.</p>
<p>Note that getting rid of your genital wart doesn&rsquo;t mean it won&rsquo;t ever come back.  Genital warts are caused by one of several strains of the human papillomavirus, and it stays in the body forever.  This means you&rsquo;re likely to see another genital wart or two pop up every now and then, and you&rsquo;ll need to get medication each time. However, new advances have shown that they may be a permanent cure for genital warts, although it is still in the experimental phase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An archiver, technically known as a file archiver, is a computer program which brings a number of files together in one (or several) archive files. Archives are usually compressed by clever algorithms. An archiver helps you to transport or store files in easier way. Most archiving tools compress files without discarding any data. This process is known as the lossless data compression and it is most frequently used for transferring huge number of files through Internet. </p>
<p>An effective archiver takes a list of files that you will transfer and compresses the contents in a sequential order. In this process of compressing and putting the files in a sequential order, an archiver requires only certain information about names and total size of the original files. The process of creating an archive file is commonly known as archiving or packing and reconstruction of the files in their original form is known as unarchiving or extracting or unpacking. </p>
<p>Today, we have an array of applications available for archiving files. At the same time you need to remember certain factors that will help you to choose the right archiver. The most effective archiver will consist of the following factors: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>File formats that your archiver will support:</strong> You must be very careful while choosing an archiver for you. It should support the file format that you use. ZIP is the most widely known format but you can also encounter problems if you download files with diverse range of format. The RAR format is definitely a good archiver from this perspective and it is capable of opening and compressing files with all any kind of known formats.</li>
<li><strong>Ratio of Compression:</strong> Certain archivers help you to produce smaller files and others give you the freedom to select the level of compression and format of the compressed file. People sometime choose such an archiver that provides great compression facility but at a quite slow rate. Try to avoid such an archiver, otherwise in time of necessity you may face great trouble. Always go for an archiver which will give you effective compressing facility and, at the same time, you can have the liberty to set the speed of archiving manually.</li>
</ul>
<p>Though ZIP is perhaps the most popular form of archives, the RAR format are also equally efficient and compress files and folders perfectly. If you find that creating a ZIP archive is taking longer than you expected, consider WinRar as an alternative. Conversely, if you encounter a .rar archive that you don&#8217;t know how to open, maybe a <a href='http://w-shadow.com/blog/2008/09/10/free-rar-converter/'>rar conversion tool</a> will be a solution. Various sites have provided you with the facility to download free rar converters. So, choose the right archiver for you now and set yourself all ready for working smart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every proprietor of a home should select their assurance provider absolutely freely on the German market. So the customer can seize this opportunity to do a price research online and find the fitting property assurance supplier. The following web page provides a free research of home assurance offerers as well as the possibility to effect your preferred insurance online: <a href="http://www.gebaeude-versicherungen.com/">Gebaeudeversicherung guenstig</a>. There are some interesting aspects which should be taken into consideration when looking for the best German edifice insurance company on the Internet:</p>
<p>The client can include numerous risks in the property insurance. The risk protection against damage from fire, lightning, windstorm, hail and tap water is very essential. According to the position of your house additional risks should be thought about. The higher the risk in the geographical location of your building, the higher the insurance expenses will be.</p>
<p>Besides the covered hazards there is another important aspect which determines the rates of your building assurance, and this is of course the value of your edifice. So it can be helpful to consider a deductible to lower the insurance expenses. If the owner wants to save money, it can be beneficial to agree to a deductible in case of damage. A lot of home assurance offerers offer contracts which include participation and therefore savings for the customer.</p>
<p>Natural hazards might be a great peril for your edifice. So everybody should look for an edifice insurance which is covering these special hazards. Some natural risks, which should be considered, are floods, hail and thunderstorms. Assurance protection could also be taken against special natural risks like earthquakes, landslides and avalanches. It is not necessary to visit all the German house assurers in person when one is looking for the best solution. You can retrieve an online comparison and even buy your premises insurance on this Internet site: <a href="http://www.gebaeude-versicherungen.com/Gebaeudeversicherung_vergleichen.html">Gebaeudeversicherung vergleichen</a>.</p>
<p>Everyone, who has a home, could contract house assurance to protect themselves from the monetary risk of damage to the premises. Persons living near a river with potential floodwater should check if their house insurance offerer offers shelter against that specific exposure. Assurance shelter against storm damage should definitely be thought of due to the increase of heavy storms during the past years in Germany.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of the time I have been the kind of person to study something in depth before getting my feet wet. Many people call me obsessive, however I don&#8217;t see it that way. For me, it is all about getting all the <a href="http://www.best-fitnesstips.com/fitness-tips/importance-of-health-related-fitness.html">health related fitness tips</a> and advice needed to make the right decisions. That is why, when I decided to get in shape, I&#8217;ve read all the articles with health and fitness tips that I could before I took my first step on the tread mill. By reading as many articles about fitness and health tips until I felt like I was an expert, I was able to customize a program with the optimum workout for my needs.</p>
<p>These days articles about health and fitness tips to get the <a href="http://www.best-fitnesstips.com/weight-training/the-perfect-body-measurement-for-women.html">perfect body measurement for women</a> are one of the most popular reading subjects. Our society is kind of a paradox if you think about it. On the one hand, we have more problems with obesity than ever before. On the other hand, more and more American are obsessed with staying healthy and fit. I guess it makes sense if you look at it in the right way. In a society where people have healthy eating habits and exercise regularly, health and fitness tips are less important. However if people don&#8217;t know anything about staying in shape, tips and advice on staying healthy are a godsend.</p>
<p>As I said before, I&#8217;ve read a lot of articles with health and fitness tips, but not all of them stuck. I was surprised because the ones that made the most impact were the ones with the most general and common sense rules. For example, my favorite health and fitness tip I&#8217;ve found at <a href="http://www.best-fitnesstips.com/">www.best-fitnesstips.com</a> was about exercising. It said that the biggest mistake that people make is to find overambitious exercise routines based on someone else&#8217;s idea of the perfect works out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>When I spend about half a grand on a cell phone, I&#8217;m thinking . . . &#8220;i want to get my money&#8217;s worth!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s how I feel, anyway &#8212; which is why I made it my business to put my new iPhone through the paces from jump street by scouring the web&#8217;s most serious iPhone resources for the most useful power tips/ tricks available. The result is this collection of <a href="http://usacellsearch.com/15-iphone-tips-2/">16 iPhone power tips</a> that will help you get even more enjoyment out of your new favorite toy!  Some of these, granted, you&#8217;ll need to Google to get the current URL.  But, if you want, you can just click the link for the complete article with photos and videos.</p>
<p><strong>1. Unstick a Stuck Slider:</strong> if you&#8217;re iPhone&#8217;s slider ever gets stuck &#8212; as in, it simply refuses to do anything when you try to slide it, usually because you want to make the iPhone up to use it &#8212; here is a fix from <em>iPhone Atlas</em> (www.iphoneatlas.com): press the Home button once before attempting to move the slider for the first time.</p>
<p><strong>2. Make Skype calls:</strong> Up-front disclaimer: We&#8217;re not talking about free, voice-over-IP (VOiP) Skype calls here. We&#8217;re talking about making SkypeOut calls, which are not free but can drastically reduce the cost of making international calls on your iPhone.  Matter of fact, SoonR lets you access Apple Mail files, mailboxes, and contacts.  It also lets you grab documents from your Mac for viewing on iPhone, including PowerPoint presentations and all that kinda&#8217; good stuff.</p>
<p><strong>3. Know Where to Go for the 411:</strong> Lucky for you, the world has gone iPhone crazy. That means there a lot of excellent sources of info on the latest iPhone developments out there on the web. Bad news: there&#8217;s a lot of crap, also. Here&#8217;s a short list of our favorite iPhone info sites:</p>
<p>- modmyiPhone.com<br /> - iPhoneFreak.com<br /> - iPhoneAlley.com<br /> - The Unofficial Apple Weblog&#8217;s iPhone page<br /> - Gizmodo&#8217;s iPhone coverage<br /> - iPhoneAtlas.com</p>
<p>While you&#8217;re checking these sites, keep in mind that some sites you might already be visiting on a regular basis have really done a super job of becoming iPhone-friendly, including Digg.com, Amazon.com, FaceBook.com, and Netvibes.com!</p>
<p><strong>4. Play Great Games:</strong> You know what Jack says about all work and no play! Not that the web surfing you&#8217;re doing on your iPhone is all work-related, yeah right? Games &#8212; most of which are free &#8212; are starting to pop up for the iPhone, and we&#8217;re sure there will be more where those came from. For now, you can just launch the Safari browser when your iPhone and visit these hot game sites:</p>
<p>-  <strong>MacMost&#8217;s collection of iPhone games,</strong> including classics like solitaire and minesweeper (free, MacMost iPhone Games).</p>
<p>- <strong>mynuMo has 4 iPhone games,</strong> including iWhack &#8212; a whack-a-mole knockoff where the mole&#8217;s replaced by a headshot of Microsoft&#8217;s Steve Ballmer &#8212; and Blackjack (also free, myNuMo iPhone Games).</p>
<p>- <strong>iGiki&#8217;s games,</strong> which include Hangman and Canyon Crawl &#8212; aren&#8217;t free, but then, they&#8217;re only a buck a pop and might be just what you need when you get tired of the freebies (99 cents per game pack for 99 days, iGiki Games).</p>
<p>- <strong>PopCap&#8217;s Bejeweled,</strong> (free, PopCap Bejeweled).</p>
<p><strong>5. Beat a Shortcut to your Fave iPhone Apps:</strong> Handy iPhone apps, like Leaflets (free, Get Leaflets) and Applists (free, Get Applists) put most iPhone apps your fingertips, but if you want to build your own list, just collect the apps you tend to use the most into the same bookmarks folder in Safari on <em>your computer</em>. Then, the next time you sync your iPhone, using iTunes, be sure to check &#8220;Sync Safari Bookmarks&#8221; on the info tab, under Web browser.</p>
<p><strong>6. Rehang the Wallpaper:</strong> If you&#8217;re up for a bit of iPhone hacking, you can take any image you find anywhere on the web and turn it into a custom wallpaper.</p>
<p>But there is a much easier way: Download a 320&#215;480 pixel image for free from a variety of online sources, saving them all in the same folder on your Mac. In iTunes, with your iPhone docked, select your iPhone, click the Photos tab, select the radio button next to &#8220;Sync Photos From&#8230;,&#8221; then from the drop-down list, select &#8220;Choose Folder&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Next, browse to the folder you just created, then click &#8220;Apply&#8221; in the lower-right hand corner. Finally, on your iPhone, go to Settings, Wallpaper, Photo Library to hang your new wallpaper!</p>
<p><strong>7. Take Self-Portraits</strong> Because the iPhone camera shutter&#8217;s button is a &#8220;soft&#8221; (i.e., onscreen) button, it&#8217;s a bit tricky to take self-portraits with it since you have to turn the phone around so you can no longer see the button.  Here&#8217;s the solution: with the camera feature selected, place your finger on the camera icon and turn the phone around so you&#8217;re facing the lens. Then, smile pretty and let go of the shutter button! You&#8217;ll hear the telltale &#8220;click&#8221; &#8212; and, you&#8217;ve just taken a self-portrait!</p>
<p><strong>8. Reveal Secret Features:</strong> When Apple released the first firmware update for the iPhone on August 1, 2007, it did so with little fanfare, and attributed most of the updates to &#8220;security fixes.&#8221;  <em>The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s</em> Walt Mossberg discovered a few new non-security-related features on his side phone after the update including:</p>
<p>- Greater capacity in the iPhone module&#8217;s Favorites list (used to be 20, is now 50).<br /> -  Ability to automatically blind carbon copy (BCC) yourself on all e-mails sent, where previously, your only option was to CC yourself, which alerted your recipients what you were up to&#8230; <br /> -  Compatibility with some car adapters and external speakers, originally created for the iPod.  For more iPhone and tech tidbits, visit Walt&#8217;s blog.</p>
<p><strong>9. Just Ditch the Camera Altogether:</strong> On the other hand, if you know you&#8217;ll never use the iPhone&#8217;s camera, you can just remove it altogether. (If you work for or with certain government agencies, you&#8217;re iPhone may actually be considered &#8220;contraband&#8221; on their property because they don&#8217;t want you taking secret photos of Bigfoot, Elvis, or (believe it or not) alien spaceships!</p>
<p><strong>10. Get the Official Mod Tool:</strong> If you&#8217;ve already had to send your iPhone back to Apple for warranty repair or replacement, you may have already discovered something different about the replacement iPhone. First off, it comes in a much thinner box. Second, it comes complete with the &#8220;official iPhone SIM card removal tool&#8221;: a paperclip! Yup, Apple actually supplies a paperclip with all replacement iPhones, along with instructions for using it to open the SIM card slot and insert your card!</p>
<p><strong>11. Buy Spare Parts:</strong> If you&#8217;re the type who simply can&#8217;t resist trying to take your iPhone apart, here&#8217;s where to go to find replacement parts when you go too far: iPhone Parts.  Sources of mine told me that Apple charges $300 for a replacement screen, but you can get one from iFixIt for only $199.95.</p>
<p><strong>12. Kill that Annoying GSM Buzz:</strong> If you hear a buzzing sound, while using an iPhone cassette adapter in your car stereo, such as <em>Monsters iCarPlay</em> &#8212; which claims to be iPhone-compatible (but doesn&#8217;t appear anywhere on Monster&#8217;s website) &#8212; Gizmodo offers a low-tech solution: aluminum foil&#8230;  Yup, just take a little bit of Reynolds Wrap and wrap it around the cable closest to your iPhone. Doing so eliminates the need to switch to &#8220;Airplane mode,&#8221; which would be a viable solution if it didn&#8217;t send your incoming calls to voicemail!</p>
<p><strong>13. Find Wi-Fi Hotspots in Your Neighborhood:</strong> <em>JiWire</em> makes it easy to find the nearest hotspot when your iPhone &#8212; so you can rescue yourself from the slow-moving hell that is <em>AT&amp;T&#8217;s</em> EDGE data service. Surf on over to iphone.jiwire.com on your iPhone and fill in your location. If you&#8217;re a cheapskate (like me), check the box for &#8220;Search Free Hotspots Only.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>14. More Wi-Fi Performance Enhancements:</strong> Apple has a potentially useful collection of WiFi related iPhone tips in a regularly-updated knowledgebase article on its website. Suggestions include fixing problems like paid WiFi connections that drop off suddenly, weak WiFi signals, and WiFi connections that revert to EDGE due to issues with WEP passwords, or problems with Mac address filtering.</p>
<p><strong>15. &#8220;Hack&#8221; Your iPhone!:</strong> Disclaimer: this tip isn&#8217;t for everybody.  Some of these &#8220;hacks&#8221; (i.e., self-made modifications to the iPhone&#8217;s default behavior) are intended for people who have experience changing the way their computers behave by accessing the underlying code governing such behavior. You&#8217;ve been warned.</p>
<p>- <strong>For Macs:</strong> iFuntastic and Installer.app. <br /> - <strong>For Windows:</strong> Installer.app or iBrickr.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed one of the above helper apps, you can try an ever-expanding array of iPhone mods. With iFuntastic, for example, you can add your own custom ringtones, rearrange the Home screen, and change the AT&amp;T logo. Installer.app goes even further, letting you install and play Nintendo games that feature tactile feedback!  The good folks at Gizmodo.com  make it easy for Mac users to take advantage of this newfound power over their iPhones with a handy tutorial (visit their site and search for <em>install apps iPhone</em>).</p>
<p><em>Windows users can also use a helper app called </em><em>iBricker</em> to modify their iPhone, install custom ringtones, and install third-party apps. But, if all you care about is adding custom ringtones, you might want to try <a href="http://www.efksoft.com/products/iphoneringtonemaker/">Efiko&#8217;s iPhoneRingToneMaker</a> ($10).</p>
<p><strong>16. Just Don&#8217;t Be a Sucker!:</strong> While searching for the latest iPhone apps, you could run across some websites that&#8217;ll offer you instant access to <em>hundreds</em> of the latest apps &#8212; all for one-time membership fee of $49.95. These sites include, but are not limited to, www.iphonenova.com, www.iphonecyclone.com, and www.iphonedownloadpro.com.  Problem here, is that these sites (IMHO) are scams.</p>
<p>I ponied up $50 for membership to <em>iPhoneNova</em>, for example, which claims to be the &#8220;World&#8217;s First iPhone Download Service.&#8221; Guess what it really is? It&#8217;s a BitTorrent-like site for downloading illegal content you can view on your <a href="http://usacellsearch.com/category/cell-phone/">iPhone or iPod</a>.</p>
<p>But, your $50 membership only gets you a BitTorrent client called Tomato Torrent and links for you to download two more <span style="text-decoration: underline;">already-free apps</span> that help you convert existing videos and ripped DVD content to be viewed on your iPod/ iPhone.  You also get links to a mere five (5) web-based iPhone games and a huge, poorly-organized list of illegal movie downloads like &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221; and &#8220;Transformers.&#8221;  Nuff said; as Napoleon Dynamite would say, &#8220;&#8230;What a Rip-off&#8221;!</p>
