Take a Screenshot with iPhone 3GS

Posted by Ehsan in Apple, Playground, Resources, iPhone

We are all used to taking screen shots for various purposes on a PC or Mac. In case if you’ve something on your screen you want to share with someone quickly, this is a handy feature. There are many other reasons why we would like to take a screen shot, to create a documentation or user manual for example.

As I am getting used to different features of my newly bought iPhone I discovered it also has the option to take screen shot. The process is very simple. Press the Sleep/Wake button (on top) with the Home button (at the bottom) together and your screen shot will be saved in the Camera Roll section of Photos application.

I believe iPhone 3GS has lot more features and I will keep posting them as I explore.

Turn off the feature of Google Toolbar to display web history on new tabs of Firefox 3 for Mac

Posted by Ehsan in Mac, Playground, Resources

The other day when I was browsing on my Mac (using Firefox 3) I noticed everytime I open a new tab it shows the recent websites I’ve visited and few more items under Google Toolbar title. At the begining I liked the idea. I thought it saves me time to type in URL of the sites I frequently visit. But this feature was not available on my PC.

Although I initially liked the feature, it started to bug me when I opened new tab in front of someone (visiting me – for example) and it was showing the cached page of my online banking. It actually cached the account detail page! I didn’t like the idea that if someone is looking over my shoulder will get to see my account balance.

Anyway I started digging into it to turn off that feature. Then I found it was something that needed to be turned off from Google Toolbar’s settings. So to turn it off go to Tools > Add-ons. It should take you to the Extensions tab. Click on the Google Toolbar for Firefox extension and then click on Preferences button. Preference window will start with Search tab and under “Web-browsing tools” section uncheck the option “Enable the Google new tab page”. You should now get back your homepage, whatever it is set to.

New functionality for Grab Yahoo

Posted by Ehsan in Interest, Playground, Resources

I have added a new functionality for the Grab Yahoo class. Soon after I released the patch, I figured out that I could add this new functionality which did not take me much time to implement. This new feature will allow you to grab your Yahoo! Calendar in an array format.

Using Yahoo’s calendar export feature, I grab the CSV file and parse it to form an array. This was a very simple addition as it uses same method as Address Book parsing. Only thing that was different was the way I had to parse the CSV, which Yahoo creates for Outlook. I don’t have any further plan to upgrade this class but do have other plans to build similar web service based classes.

Please download the latest version of grab yahoo class (v.1.3) here.

Thank you.
