The Bing homepage always has a beautiful image as a background when you visit. Now you can have Bing images (wallpaper) delivered automatically to your desktop.
Here is how it works. Once you install the theme you will receive two new Bing images per week for three months through an RSS feed.
By default, the wallpapers rotate every minute or so, so you’ll want to head into the settings to slow things down a bit (click the “Desktop Background” link at bottom). You’ll get three months of Bing wallpapers through the feed, automatically updated each week. Each image has a Bing watermark, but it’s not too ostentatious.

If you’re fed up with waiting for the official Netflix app to make it to your iPhone, here’s a way you can hack the Netflix iPad app to work on your jailbroken iPhone.
The process is fairly simple but takes a bit of work. In a nutshell, you’re going to be downloading the iPad version of the Netflix application and manually copying it to your iPhone. Check out the video and step-by-step written instructions below.
Thanks to NoorBigTime for the tip! Our instructions below are adapted from the modmyi forums.
- Download the Netflix app for iPad to iTunes.
- Right click on the Netflix app you just downloaded and select ‘Show in Windows Explorer’ if you’re on a PC, or ‘Show in Finder’ if you’re on a Mac.
- Rename Netflix 1.0.4.ipa to Netflix 1.0.4.zip and extract the zip file to your desktop.
- Look for the Payload folder inside the extracted folder. Inthere you will find the Netflix.app folder.
- SSH into your iPhone and copy the Netflix.app folder to either /Applications/ or /private/var/stash/Applications/.
- Change the permission on the Netflix.app folder to 755.
- Reboot your iPhone.
- Now go to the App Store from your iPhone and download a non-Safari browser with identification options, such as Atomic Web ($0.99) or Perfect Browser ($1.99). In Atomic Web, go to Settings and select Safari – iPad under Identify Browser As. In Perfect Browser, go to Settings and select Safari iPad under Desktop Rendering.
- Still in Atomic Web or Perfect Browser, navigate to Netflix.com, login, and find a movie to watch instantly. Perfect Browser will close and Netflix.app will start playing your movie.
That’s it! Enjoy Netflix on your iPhone.

Dragging and dropping files is an easy way to save time in Gmail. We’ve previously blogged about dragging files to upload as attachments and dragging images into new messages. Now, if you’re using Google Chrome, you can also drag attachments out of messages you receive to save them to your computer.
Let’s say you have an email open containing an attachment. Hover your mouse over the attachment’s “Download” link or its file icon and a tooltip appears that says: “Click to view OR drag to your desktop to save.”
Simply click and hold, then drag your cursor to anywhere in your file system that you want to save the file. Release the mouse button, and voilà! Your attachment is saved (for large files, you may see a progress dialog).

Whether you finally decided to shed sassyhacker957@gmail.com for a more professional handle or you want to swap Google accounts for less embarrassing reasons, Google doesn’t have a built-in system for migrating your data to a new account. So we figured it out.
A lot of us have a ton of data stored in Google’s services, but if you want to migrate to a new Google account, you’ll need to do some digging. Here’s how to migrate your data from Google’s most popular services (Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Reader, Voice, Blogger, and YouTube) from your current account (hereafter referred to as “Account 1″) to your new account (hereafter, “Account 2″) while incurring the least amount of data loss.
A few of the services (such as Google Reader) adhere to some fairly universal import/export standards that make it easy, whereas other services (such as newer YouTube accounts) may require you to start from scratch to keep full functionality. In these few cases, we’ll note what you can do and what you’ll lose by using that method instead of starting over.
Note: Unfortunately, Google Apps has still not caught up to regular Google Accounts in terms of available services. While some of these (such as Calendar and Documents) will work for migrating to a Google Apps account, other services (such as Reader or Voice) are still not available to Google Apps at this time. I’ll note where the service is not available to Apps users, as well as when they need to go through a different process of migrating that particular service.
