+*	Wired's Kevin Axline has your Valentine's day guide to [winning the heart of your Flickr crush][4], along with some hilarious recommendation and photographs. We at Monkeybites are of the opinion that there's a good chance your Flickr crush is actually some sort of art/sociology project designed to mess with your head and create an online persona similar to lonelygirl15 -- especially if your crush happens to be the [preternaturally talented Miss Aniela][5]. Of course we've been wrong once or twice.

"In the sea of the internet, blogging is a million lampreys sucking on the bloated cephalopod of a giant squid feeding upon the tiny Nautilus of a single unique thought." Yup, that about covers it.

+The Yahoo Developer Network has partnered with the code search engine [Krugle][1] to add a nice [code searching interface][2] to the Developer Network website. Wired has [previously covered Krugle][3] about this time last year when it launched and, for my money, it's still the best code search engine out there.
+
+The new search engine in the Yahoo Developer Network site integrates most of the features of Krugle into the home page. In fact from the looks of it, Yahoo pretty much just added their logo and otherwise the layout and design of the site is nearly identical to the Krugle homepage.
+
+The really nice thing about Krugle is that, unlike many code search engines, you can search code, tech pages or projects. Even better, within a code based search you can specify that the search terms should appear in comments, code, function call, function definition, class definition or all of the above. This kind of fine grained filtering makes it much easier to find exactly what you want.
+
+The results on Yahoo's new Krugle integrated search match those of the main Krugle site (see example screenshot below) and the search is lightening fast. Apparently Yahoo Developer Network launched before the Krugle folks had time to index Yahoo's own documentation and code, but that oversight is expected to be fixed soon. If you have other suggestions or features you'd like to see, Yahoo is [soliciting feedback][6].
+
+I find it interesting that code search is such a hot vertical market -- it seems that every week there's a new code search engine popping up. We recently [looked at AllTheCode][4] and I found [this post][5] on the Krugle blog that lists fifteen other code search engines.
+
+As a some time developer myself it's nice to have so many options but I can't help wishing a Krugle for blog searches would pop up, neither Technorati nor Google Blog Search have ever impressed me.
+
+I'd hardly be original if suggested that vertical search is the future of the internet. I have no doubt that a generalized Google search will always be useful for some, but increasingly, to really find quality results, you need to narrow your searching pool. Searching a subset of the web -- Code, Blogs, News, Medical, etc -- is in the end perhaps the only way to make sense of it.

+Mactactic is a goofy little website that purports to predict Mac hardware updates. The predictions are based on product life-cycle history and other mojo. Mactactic has wisely included the following disclaimer: "No responsibility is taken for the accuracy of any data on this website."
+
+Predicting anything Mac related is somewhat akin to bending metal spoons, but if nothing else the site is a quick way to see how long a particular piece of Mac hardware has been on the market.
+
+Right now the hardware listings are somewhat incomplete, the basic computers are there, but the only iPod listed is the 5G video.
+
+Really the only good rule of thumb for buying new Mac hardware is don't do it at Christmas. Apple's January Macworld conference almost always sees the introduction of some kind of new hardware and with my Murphy's law luck it's inevitably whatever I bought during the holiday season.
+
+If you really trust Mactactic there's even a dashboard widget you can download. Mactactic gets bonus points for being built with Django.

+The popular lightweight torrent program, [µTorrent][4], has been updated to version 1.6.1. This is an incremental update doesn't bring any spectacular new features , but it does fix a serious security vulnerability and it's the first official release since [BitTorrent acquired][6] µTorrent.
+
+I downloaded and tested the new version earlier today. As with past versions, 1.6.1 is fast and sleek -- still my favorite torrent program -- but I had to look up the new features in the [change log][3] to actually notice anything different from previous versions.
+
+The new encryption option in the "Speed Guide" menu makes it easy to to encrypt your traffic, if your ISP is tracking your downloads and slowing your bandwidth. If you notice your torrents slowing down over time, this could be part of the problems.
+
+The other main feature noted in the release announcement is the addition of the download speed selector as a contextual menu item. It's not exactly something to jump up and down about, but it does make it easier to control both upload and download bandwidth caps.
+
+Aside from the handful in interface changes, the main focus of µTorrent 1.6.1 is bug fixes, and the most important is a patch for the fairly [serious security vulnerability][1] that plagued version 1.6. Granted this flaw has been patched for some time in beta versions, but this is the first official release to take care of the problem.
+
+As an incremental update 1.6.1 is a long time coming, especially considering the known exploit that threatened l.6, hopefully the future development of µTorrent will be somewhat faster. In the mean time because of the bug fixes and moderately useful UI add-ons, I recommend updating your copy.
+
+Also note that 1.6.1 isn't listed on µTorrent's download page as of this writing, however TorrentFreak posted this [direct link][5] for the impatient.
