style="border: 0px none;margin-left:20px;float:right;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/intro1.jpg" alt="open source facebook"/>For a project that received $10,000 funding within the first 12 days of its announcement, href="http://joindiaspora.com">Diaspora has quite a lot to live up to. When you factor in that the funding href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/196017994/diaspora-the-personally-controlled-do-it-all-distr">eventually reached $200,641 and donors to the project include Facebook frontman Mark Zuckerburg (describing it as a “cool idea”) then this href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-5-best-open-source-social-networking-software/">open-source social network venture starts to sound quite exciting.

The word diaspora originated from the Greek meaning “a scattering of seeds”, an apt name for any decentralised social network. In modern usage, a diaspora is defined as a group migration, but will the promise of tighter security and an open source attitude be enough to tempt people away from social media giants like href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/is-facebook-safer-than-myspace/">Facebook or MySpace?

id="more-54237">

What’s It For?

Diaspora came about when a group of New York University students from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Science were inspired by a speech about freedom and privacy online. Columbia University law professor Eben Moglen described centralised social networks as “spying for free” and the developers came up with Diaspora.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/diaspofficial.jpg" alt="open source facebook"/>

On April 24 2010, the project was announced on href="http://www.kickstarter.com">Kickstarter. Within a few weeks the team had a few hundred thou’ in the bank, a goal to aim for and the open-source world on their side.

The developers aim to create an alternative social network, with the added option of choosing where your data is stored rather than have it sit on the same centralised server. They’re also pretty big on keeping work and play separate, so your boss remains oblivious to what you get up to on a Friday night.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/workmates.jpg" alt="open source facebook"/>

The project’s main “opposition” (for want of a better word) is undoubtedly Facebook, which has been making headlines for a while over security lapses and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/the-complete-guide-to-facebook-privacy/">privacy boo-boos. Even if the project isn’t a massive success, Diaspora’s direct approach with privacy and data security will hopefully further encourage Facebook and pals to improve things on their side.

So How Does It Work?

Users are able to set up their own servers (known as “seeds”) to store their data, these seeds can then interact with other seeds to href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/review-of-5-online-photo-sharing-sites-as-free-alternatives-to-flickr/">share photos, href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/openbook-search-facebook-status-updates/">status updates and everything else the internet likes to do.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/status.jpg" alt="open source facebook alternative"/>

Not everybody needs to set up a seed, but through having these separate “hubs” you are able to choose where your data is hosted – rather than putting it straight on someone else’s servers. Your data remains on the seed you choose, and you have control over what is done with it.

Data migration has also been addressed and developers have said that if a user would like to move data to another seed, Diaspora will support seamless migration from one seed to another and still work afterwards.

Diaspora is still somewhat of a business, much like Facebook. When the platform is finally launched there are plans from the developers to offer paid hosting for seeds, complete with support. Those of you interested in this thinking “No thanks, I’ve got hosting” probably don’t care, as long as you’ve got support for Ruby in your hosting package.

Apart from that, it all reads a bit Facebook really. The main Diaspora interface looks like Facebook though the current version isn’t exactly full of features and consumer-friendly.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aspects.jpg" alt="open source facebook alternative"/>

The ability to separate your work life and social life is a nice touch, and highly customizable. Diaspora refers to groups of people as “aspects”, and contacts are added to these as required. When you post an update online you can then choose to only post to work, family or even just your drinking buddies.

What State Is It In?

The current build is a developer preview, with a consumer alpha due in October. There’s undoubtedly still a long way to go, but the open-source nature of the project should help move things along.

At the moment you can post status updates, upload photos, add contacts and edit your profile. The current build is also chock-full of security holes, but that’s no surprise as it’s still pre-alpha.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/addfriend.jpg" alt="open source facebook alternative"/>

Developers have promised a “battery of add-on modules” are making their way to Diaspora, and these are intended to enable “any type of communication”. They are also planning their own href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-security-tips-to-protect-yourself-from-instant-messenger-hacks/">instant messenger (because you haven’t got enough of those already) and href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/technology-explained-how-does-skype-work/">VoIP integration.

Also on the to-do list is integration with href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/openid-overview-and-four-awesome-providers/">OpenID, to facilitate logging in and the distribution of encrypted backups between seeds. It all sounds great, it’s just not built yet.

Can I Have A Go?

If you do want a play with the current development build then you can register on href="http://openspora.com">Openspora and take a look around. Remember – don’t go adding too many personal details and your wedding photos. This is still a preview!

Those of you who want something a little more stable and actually usable will have wait for that consumer alpha coming in October.

Diaspora is still in its infancy yet already receiving a lot of interest. If you’re concerned about privacy, data protection and what Facebook are planning next then it is probably worth keeping an eye on this one. Whether it’s going to be a real contender for the social networking crown remains to be seen. />

Portable mp3 players are taking the music world by storm. They offer convenience, portability, and ease of use, all in a small, feature rich package. There’s not much to not like about them. But mp3 player models are constantly changing. Therefore it’s a good idea to know what features are most important when you are trying to choose a portable mp3 player for your own use. Here are some tips to consider:

* Consider how you plan to use your mp3 player before buying it. Will you be using it on very long trips where you have no access to your computer song collection? If so, you may want to opt for a portable mp3 player that uses a hard drive to store songs as they can hold thousands of songs at a time and you can go for a long time without hearing the same song twice. In many cases you may be able to have your entire song collection on your mp3 player that way. However, most people will probably be using their portable mp3 player just for a few hours at a time on shorter trips. In that case a flash memory player should work just fine. They can usually handle 50- 75 songs at a time and that may be all you need.

* The best portable mp3 players also allow you to be able to upgrade the operating system of the unit whenever needed. This can be very important as the mp3 player equipment is changing constantly because it’s still a relatively new technology. So you want to be able to keep up as advancements are made, and newer file formats or compressions are introduced. Otherwise you could wind up with an obsolete player very quickly.

* Before you buy any portable mp3 player be sure that you personally physically inspect it. This is especially critical for smaller players as they can be so small and compact that some folks with larger hands have a difficult time operating the controls. You also want to be sure that the display will meet your needs too, as some players display more information at a time than others do, and some are more readable even in low light situations than others.

* The best portable mp3 players conserve power well too. This can be an important issue as you will most likely not have a permanent power source when you are on the go, so your battery is all you have to power the unit. Some players can go for days on a set of batteries and others can only go a few hours. So make sure that the player you choose will fit the way you intend to use it. Also be aware that some players use a battery that is rechargeable but also can’t be removed, and so must be sent back to the factory for an expensive battery replacement. The best portable mp3 players use batteries that are easy to find and change, such as AA or AAA batteries.

Since mp3 players are still fairly new to the marketplace, many people are not as familiar with them as other pieces of electronic equipment like CD players. So it’s good to understand what features are important in the best rated mp3 players in order to make the best choice. Hopefully, the tips above can help you make the best choice.

Do you need an online registry fix? Chances are you probably do. The Windows registry is one of the most important yet neglected directories on our computers. It contains information on just about all software and hardware. The registry controls all computer settings and startup programs. Unfortunately at the same time the registry needs to be frequently cleaned up. Anytime we install, update, or remove a program the registry is effected. These are common problems that should raise red flags and motivate you to get an online registry fix:

Computer crashes or computer freezes up regularly. It is expected if you are running tons of programs that your computer occasionally stops running. But if it happens more than once in awhile then something is wrong with your registry.

Blue screen errors and the blue screen of death (aka the BSOD) take over your computer screen. These windows errors are causes due to a corrupted file in your registry.

Computer running slow and sluggish. This includes slow startup and the computer taking abnormally long to shut down. There are hidden files and programs that run in the background which slow down our computers considerably. Removing these registry entries to get rid of the useless programs can do wonders to speed up computer performance.

Taking steps to clean up registry blockage and fix corrupt registry entries will significantly enhance your computers performance. In order to do so I highly recommend getting an online registry fix. If you are interested you can scan your computer for free with what I consider the #1 best registry cleaner on the market. Your computer can be cleaned and optimized in literally minutes. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose!

Getting free mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs is extremely popular. It’s estimated that as many as sixty (60) million music lovers like you get music for your mp3 player or ipod this way. But have you ever considered the issues involved with downloading your favorite songs from file sharing programs? If you haven’t shared any music files yet, you really need to know the benefits and risks; and I wrote this article to provide you with an overview of what’s involved in getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs.

The Benefits of Downloading Music From MP3 File Sharing Programs

The biggest draw to getting music from mp3 file sharing programs is the ability to download music you would ordinarily have to buy for free. Along with getting the music you want for free, there is no limit to the number of files or the size of the files you can download. Also, today’s p2p file sharing technology makes it possible for users to quickly search for, download and share music files at lightning speeds.

As exciting as it is to be able to search for, find and get fast downloads of the music you want for free, there are downsides to getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs.

The Risks Involved In Downloading Music Files From MP3 File Sharing Programs

The greatest risks surrounding downloading music files from mp3 file sharing programs involves spyware and getting sued for copyright infringement. Many popular file sharing programs expose users of the p2p (peer to peer) network to spyware, adware and computer viruses. They are free open source programs or freeware, and as such, they may be bundled with spyware that slows down your computers’ performance or adware that tracks and reports your online activities. Additional computer security risks come from the files of other users in the p2p network. However, the most controversial aspect of getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs involves the sharing and/or distribution of copyrighted works that hasn’t been legally licensed by the mp3 file sharing program or service. If you download and share copyrighted music that hasn’t properly licensed for digital distribution, you expose yourself to possibly getting sued by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for copyright infringement.

While the computer spyware and lawsuit risks are serious, there are steps a determined mp3 file sharing program user can take to reduce or eliminate those risks.

Clearly the draw, as well as the excitement of getting free mp3 music from p2p file sharing programs is hard to resist. On the other hand, the risks to your hardware and personal finances are hard to ignore. However, if your desire for unlimited free mp3 music outweighs your concern about these risks, getting mp3 downloadable music from file sharing programs might be the way for you to go.

Many of us have a desire to own the latest device or gizmo, but some of us would just be happy to have the opportunity to own a standard MP3 Player, so that we can simply listen to music. Of course the newer and very popular digital media players are also very tempting especially since watching movies and viewing images or photos wherever we want is such fun.

The exact type or model of mp3 player that you require will depend on what it is you want to use it for. If you are trying to stay fit and regularly go to the gym or run in the park then you will want to replay your music on a very small portable unit, such as the iPod Shuffle.

If you prefer to watch movies or look at images then you should consider buying an mp3 player that provides access to this type of media, and you cannot do this with the older mp3 players which only play music tracks.

Fortunately all newer mp3 players, especially those from Apple including the ipod Touch, Nano and Classic models, do support both video and photos display.

Photographers, both professional and amateur, will love any mp3 player, which can also display images and photographs. They would find one of these very useful. When on location or later back home they would find it very easy to transfer digital photos from a digital camera to a mp3 player that has the required functionality for photographic storage. This is a great way to back up photos as secure copies.

Whatever you want to do with your new mp3 player you will need to ensure that you can do what you want with the model you buy and that it is easy to transfer digital media from the sources you want to use. For instance all iPod users will want to connect to the iTunes store to buy and download music, movies and podcasts. It will be the same for other mp3 players, so check this out before buying.

If you want to backup files, such as documents or spreadsheets from your PC you can now do this with many mp3 players but they must have a large amount of storage. The 80 GB iPod Classic would be extremely suitable for this task. However, depending on the mp3 player you buy you might also have to buy additional software to allow you to do this.

The MP3 players that have more of the features you need and a bigger capacity are always going to cost you more wherever you buy them. So carefully research what is currently available and what all the different deals actually offer.

And of course you must go online to search the internet for what you want. You will find details of all the different models from each manufacturer online and this will help make it easier for you to make the right decision on your choice of mp3 player.

Well if you are one of those people who regularly downloads online music or videos then this might be of some use to you.

Remember those frustrating times when you tried playing or sharing your favourite song but could not as it was DRM protected. With DRM removal software now you can not only download music but videos too.

If you are now thinking of the formats you play your music in and are in doubt as to whether a DRM removal software will work for you or not, then read on the specific solutions below.

Q: How can I convert my DRM WMV files into MP4 format?

If you are a user who has the DRM WMV videos, the problems you have are:
1. You cannot copy them or share them with others (some of them cannot be burned to CD);
2. It is inconvenient to watch (some of them require that you should download license each time when you play them);
3. If the license is expired, you cannot play them;
4. Cannot be edited and re-use.

So, if you want to play those DRM protected WMV videos, the only way is to get the license by connecting the Internet. If you cannot access to the Internet and would like to watch the DRM WMV videos offline: you have to remove the DRM from WMV. In addition, WMV files cannot be played on a PSP or an iPod. These gadgets require the videos be in MP4 format to play.

If you have collected a number of WMV files on your computer, a WMV DRM Converter is your good choice.

MP3 files can be played on any computer, software program or portable device that supports MP3 files. There are no licensing restrictions for playing, burning or sharing. In a word, MP3 is better than WMA with on DRM protection so you can put it on any other mobile devices and share with others.

Q: Is there a need for me to convert DRM AAC to MP3?

Apple’s iTunes is a very popular music services now, which has earned millions of dollars in sales over the past few years. In general, the format in the iTunes music sales is the so-called AAC format. This format is DRM protected (Digital Rights Management).

For those customers who buy music in the AAC format, it can be quite frustrating for they cannot play their music wherever and whenever they want. Although AAC has better sound quality than MP3 at many bit rates, MP3 is still much more popular than AAC around the world.

Once you convert AAC to MP3, the DRM protection is removed, and then you can play the converted music on any media player and portable devices. Fortunately, the elimination of the DRM protection of the AAC is possible, by using Music DRM Converter to help you convert AAC to MP3.

It is a professional tool to help you to remove DRM protection from music (audio and video files) which has been brought from online music shop store, iTunes, windows etc.

Q: Is there a need to convert M4A format to MP3?

The common, but non-standard use of the extensions .m4a and .m4v is due to the popularity of Apple’s iPod and the iTunes Store.

a. You have an MP3 player and decided to purchase some music from iTunes.

Unfortunately it will not play on your player until it is converted to MP3 or WMA format and Windows Media Player won’t even open the M4A File Type.

b. You downloaded a free cd and it was an m4a, but you can’t play it on your computer. Because you don’t use iTunes, you use Windows Media Player.

c. You have iTunes and have purchased the songs, but want to use them on another one of your computers that does not have iTunes. They will not play because they are not mp3 format.

Actually, M4A is a format iTunes uses. As iTunes uses a proprietary and DRM-ed format it can’t be played on other places. They can be converted to mp3 format though, which should make them work in more places. If the songs were bought via iTunes, the easiest way to do this is use converting software to convert them into unprotected MP3 files.

All your questions answered??? Well not all but a few but as they say every drop makes an ocean!
