Since many people have a ton of photos uploaded to Flickr -- iPhoto makes it simple to share your pictures through the service -- we decided to give you some ideas on how to quickly and easily back up your Flickr photostream to your Mac. This isn't a bad idea anyway, since many iPhone photography apps have made it easy to upload photos to Flickr, but it's a little less simple to get 'em back out and onto a computer. Here are some ways to back up those photos. Direct Downloading: If you only have a few photos on Flickr and don't particularly like Adobe Air applications to sully the silicon of your Mac, there's a free and simple method of saving your pictures. While you're in your Flickr photostream, select a photo and open the actions menu. Click the "View all sizes" link on the menu, which displays a page showing a number of different sized images (see below). Click on the photo you want to download (probably the largest one), and it will display a link next to the word "Download." Click that link to download the image. <DIV class=separator style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15kq89cAfQxdyZZnhyphenhyphenX1d0lUi-EJJJRDClid7JfE0OPdeMVWLmHaVYXzvPqLgf49TLdUtYJqdzo7CjTftPZ5DnK0tq3NlKMHF6iFzpCcSbvrnMirwvoC4ybYj87rqt9aN1sKrPRP3BrM/s1600/directdownloadtuawflickr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh15kq89cAfQxdyZZnhyphenhyphenX1d0lUi-EJJJRDClid7JfE0OPdeMVWLmHaVYXzvPqLgf49TLdUtYJqdzo7CjTftPZ5DnK0tq3NlKMHF6iFzpCcSbvrnMirwvoC4ybYj87rqt9aN1sKrPRP3BrM/s1600/directdownloadtuawflickr.jpg"></A></DIV>

Android is making money for Google, says Rubin

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//classifications/Mobile%20Phones/Google/nexus%20S%20base-200-200.jpg"> Android is a profitable part of Google's empire, according to the mobile operating system's head Andy Rubin. Rubin, who was involved in the Android project before Google took it over, told the All Things Digital conference that Android was not a loss-leader for Google, but was actually in the black due to the advertising. "We're making money on ads generally through Android," said Rubin. Google difference "When I was a startup there was no way I would have been profitable, my business model was completely different from what it is today," he added "Now, I don't have to sell services I can just do the Google thing, which is an ad-based business model, and we are profitable." Android is becoming one of the key players in mobile phones, and its impact on the industry cannot be understated. With the latest phone – Google's own <a href="">Nexus S</A> – about to appear, Android remains one of the most significant competitors to RIM's BlackBerry OS and Apple's iOS.

Protecting Your Website - Making Sure Your Website is Secure

In my opinion, you can never be 100% secure, and any site that claims to be is either lying or has spent thousands of pounds on security measures that the majority of us can not afford. But you can make sure you are as secure as you can possibly be by implementing a few security measures, and these are described below.Virus Protection - Security starts at home, and by this I mean make sure you are running a first class security suite on your home pc's and laptops. I use Mcafee, but there are others including AVG and Norton, but just make sure you use a well recommended internet security suite which if you do get infected, will help protect and fix any problems. Also download Malwarebytes and run this on a periodic basis. The latest Virus programs can now also fix infected webpages, meaning you can save hours by letting them fix the issues should your site get infected.FTP Passwords - Every week, change your FTP password. Yes, this is a pain and you probably won't do it, but it can be the one thing that stops your site from being hacked. Some of the latest viruses steal FTP passwords from your pc and then send them to the bad world, so by changing the password periodically, even if they do steal your data, it will be another layer in protection for you.Security Patches - Make sure your computer is patched. Many of the Trojans and exploits are coming through on un-patched or older systems. Make sure you allow Windows to update when it needs to and just to be on the safe side, check for updates once a week, even if you have it on automatic.Server Patches - Most of us use web hosting, but you can still make sure that your host is doing everything they can. Drop them and email or give them a ring and ask them how often they implement patches etc and what their security methods are. It is sometimes worth paying a bit more to make sure your host is doing as much as you are to protect your site and business.Server File Permissions - Imagine having a nice big house with a massive stone wall all the way around the building, with 50 gates for people to get in to your house with. 45 of those gates are locked, but the other 5 are open, and is therefore creating an opportunity for some one to get in. File permissions are a little bit like these gates. If you leave some of them open, there is a good chance someone will cease on this and get access to your website via permissions that have been set incorrectly. They can be quite hard to understand, so have a chat with your host or web guy to make sure your permissions are correct and above all else, secure.Google Webmaster - Make sure you have a Google webmaster account linked to your website. Should you be hacked, Google will send you an email to tell you this and also which pages have been hit. This is such a valuable and free tool, admittedly more a cure rather than prevention, but as Google updates pages every hour of the day, they can sometimes be the first to notice your site has a problem.Website Patches - If you are using WordPress, always make sure you are running the latest version of the main WordPress software and also upgrade your plugins when you are told to do so. WordPress updates itself with new patches and upgrades periodically and this is the same for the plugins. Many of the latest hacks are targeting WordPress, and you can help to avoid this if you run the latest version and your plugins are up to date.Software Patches - We have had clients who got infected via a PDF virus which then infected his website. They couldn't understand why this had happened, or how it was even possible. This was until we explained that they were running Adobe Reader that was 3 years old and had kept refusing the automatic updates! Always make sure you allow your software to install the latest updates, as many of the latest viruses will use any software going to try and access your pc.
