+While researching my [earlier post on Popuri.us][1] I ran across a cool del.icio.us feature I wasn't familiar with. The [del.icio.us url feature][2] lets you track when people bookmark your sites. Moreover, it lets you see what other people are saying about your site through the tags they use and (possibly) the descriptions they write. 
+
+You can see this information by pointing your browser to delicious.com/url and type in the page you'd like to track. Even better, at the bottom of the page there's a link to an RSS feed that will send results to the RSS reader of your choice.
+
+If you'd like to skip the visit to del.icio.us, here's the base url for the RSS feed: http://del.icio.us/rss/url?url=http://yoursite.com/. Just replace yoursite.com with the page you'd like to track. 
+
+Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to track a whole domain so if you enter the base URL for your site you'll only see those people that have bookmarked your homepage, not the people that have bookmarked your permalinks for instance.
+
+Because I prefer [ma.gnolia][4] to del.icio.us I dug around the ma.gnolia site for bit looking for similar functionality, but came up empty. Ma.gnolia does offer a nice Javascript bookmarklet called "[Roots][5]" which provides the same functionality as delicious.com/url, but thanks to Ajax, you can view the results from any page. 
+
+Stripping out the Javascript aspect, if you just point your browser to http://ma.gnolia.com/meta/get?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com you'll get the results of Roots. Unfortunately there's no RSS feed to subscribe to, which limits the usefulness of the feature.

+*	Listening Post reports that SnoCap, the MySpace music service, [tried to license Apple's FairPlay DRM technology][1]. SnoCap's CEO Rusty Rueff told Listening Post's Eliot Van Buskirk that Rueff contacted Steve Jobs about two weeks before the Apple chief issued his famous "Thoughts on Music" essay, asking him for a licensing deal for Fairplay DRM. Obviously Jobs said no.

+
+*	27B Stroke 6 says that members of Senate Homeland Security subcommittee claim that "complying with the REAL ID Act, which seeks to create a de facto national ID by requiring states to have standardized driver's licenses and share information about citizens, [will cost too much and create too many privacy problems][2] to meet a May 2008 deadline set by DHS earlier this month."

+
+
+*	Bodyhack's Steve Edwards has some information on [proposed inter-species cloning][3]. Yeah it is as creepy as it sounds, from Bodyhack: "The FDA may require patients getting the sheep-human chimera-based treatments to sign similar 'I will not reproduce' agreements. The choice would then be between a potential cure and having kids. The no-kids requirement would likely remain in place until the FDA has adequate data to believe that such transplants were free of risk. To ensure no changes in the germline occurred, the FDA may be able to study the sperm and eggs of transplant recipients to determine germline changes. If not, the no-kids requirement (which could only be realistically enforced by sterilization) would present a nasty Catch-22: without the ability to look for changes in the offspring of transplant recipients, the FDA would never be able to collect the data necessary to determine the transplant's safety."

+Just days after the struggling-news-sites-are-doomed meme made yet [another][5] [tired][6] [circuit][7] through the webernets, Time has [announced that it will stop printing Life magazine][4]. The "iconic photography magazine," as Reuters refers to it, has been published since 1936 with one interruption from 1972-1978.
+
+But print mags dying off to live again online isn't really news, it's progress (and welcome progress if you happen to be a tree slated for the wood pulper), the real news in Time's announcement is that Life's collection of 10 million images will be made available online, for free for personal use.
+
+Time says that more than 97 percent of the collection has never been seen by the public and includes pictures by [Alfred Eisenstaedt][1], [Margaret Bourke-White][2], [Gordon Parks][3] and other twentieth century luminaries.
+
+The last issue of Life will hit stands April 20th, but so far no word on when the Life image archive will be online.

+We've looked at few web statistics sites in the past, but none of them are as comprehensive and slickly designed as [Popuri.us][2].
+
+Popuri will give you a quick overview of your domain including Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, backlinks on Google, Yahoo and Live.com, Technorati links and del.icio.us bookmarks leading to your site. There are also handy links to Whois and DNs reports.
+
+It would appear an [earlier write up in Techcrunch][1] has drawn in a fair bit of traffic making the server a bit unstable. The page also warns that several services have temporarily banned Popuri, but the developer claims to be working on that issue.
+
+When I tested it the Technorati inbound links and del.icio.us bookmarks features were not working. I didn't verify all the data but the Alexa data was correct for the domains I tested while the Google Pagerank info was often wrong.
+
+As with any such stats sites take the numbers with a grain of salt. 
+
+That said, while Popuri isn't perfect, it's an easy way to get a quick overview of website statistics.

+If you're frustrated with OS X's built in BOMArchiveHelper.app's lack of support for your favorite file types, check out [The Unarchiver][1]. The Unarchiver is a replacement for BOMArchiveHelper.app, much like Allume's [Stuffit Expander][2], but without the proprietary code bloat and annoying upgrade enticements.
+
+The Unarchiver is designed to handle quite few more formats than BOMArchiveHelper. Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and a number of other more obscure formats (see screenshot after the jump). Of particular interest for Mac users is support for RAR files which isn't present in Apple's default option.
+
+The Unarchiver relies on the libxad unarchiving library for the majority of its file types.  Note though, that if you regularly deal with .sitx files you'll still need Allume's Stuffit Expander since The Unarchiver does not support .sitx.
+
+To use The Unarchiver just download it from the site and copy it into your applications folder. Double clicking the app icon will bring up a preference pane that lets you set which archive filetypes to open using The Unarchiver. 
+
+In addition to supporting more formats than Apple's BOMArchiveHelper.app, The Unarchiver is considerably faster. In fact, all the archives I tested it on were unpacked too quickly for me to even grab a screenshot.
+
+The Unarchiver is free (as in beer) and open source.

+There's no denying that Ubuntu is fast become *the* distro for Linux switchers and today sees the [release of the first beta for Ubuntu 7][1]. The final version of Ubuntu 7 won't be out for almost a month, but this preview release contains most of the improvements slated for the April release.
+
+Standout new features include a Windows migration assistant and much improved wireless networking support. 
+
+The Windows migration assistant allows users to import bookmarks, desktop wallpapers, instant messaging contacts and more when installing the operating system alongside Windows on a dual-boot machine.
+
+The new plug-and-play network sharing utilizes [Avahi][2] to automatically discover and join wireless networks for music sharing, printer services and more.
+
+Other new features listed on the Ubuntu site include:
+
+*	A <b>disk usage analyzer</b> that shows you where your hard drive space is being used (why doesn't every OS include this feature?).
+*	<b>Much improved codec support</b>: When attempting to play media files, Ubuntu's new codec wizards will try to install the necessary codecs automatically.
+*	New improved help center.
+*	One-click 3D desktop effects
+
+Improvements have also been made to the [Edubuntu][3] distro, a server and thin client version targeted at education customers, including a new printing architecture, dubbed Jetpipe and improved documentation with tips and best practices for educators.
+
+KDE fans can check out Kubuntu which swaps Ubuntu's Gnome desktop for the KDE version. The Kunubtu beta features nearly the same enhancements with the exception of the one-click 3D desktop effects, which are thus far limited to Ubuntu.
+
+Free DVD disc images of the new beta can be found [here for Ubuntu][5], [here for Kubuntu][4] and [here for Xubuntu][6].
