Apple's Most Significant Products of the Decade
The end of one year and the beginning of another usually lends itself to list making. That goes double when the second-to-last digit in a calendar year flips over to a new number. That's when every writer worth his or her salt breaks out a pad of paper, an almanac, and a top 10 list to signify the most important, most memorable, or best things of a particular decade.
What's that? You're already starting to compose a lengthy screed about how this isn't the end of the decade? Well, then allow me to introduce to this section of the Macworld.com forums where you and your fellow pedants can type out arguments about when the decade starts until your fingers ache with the satisfaction of telling everyone else what's what. Don't worry--the rest of us will carry on without your valuable input.
Are they gone? Good. Let's continue.
I'm as prone to nostalgia as the next writer, so I couldn't let this New Year's weekend pass without throwing my own decade retrospective into the mix. Here's my look back at the last 10 years, focusing specifically on the most significant things to come out of Cupertino in the Aughties.

How to Watch Netflix Movies on PS3
Little History on Netflix Instant Movies.
Netflix offers instant movies to watch online from your computer. Netflix also came out with a plugin for Windows Media Center 2005. It is a great feature that we can watch movies on computer and/or TV. Netflix retired the service for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Media Center. They currently support few DVD players, Xbox and TVs where we can watch Netflix instant movies.
I own a PS3. It made me little upset when I found out that Netflix doesn't support PS3. So, I called Netflix Technical Support today about this issue. They said, we currently don't support PS3 because netflix uses silverlight player for its instant movies. They also mentioned that in past they had some buffering issues with Windows Media Center. They currently don't support PS3 but they are working on signing a deal with Sony. In other words, it is not possible. After searching the web and reading some forum websites for 2 hours, I found a free software which works.
Instructions:
First you would need to install a software called PlayOn (New Window). You can click on the previous link to download the software. Install it using default settings.
Open PlayOn, once it is installed. Go under "User Accounts" and type in your netflix Username and password. Click Test and then ok. See the example below.
Thats it. Now it is time to test the software on the PS3. Make sure the computer, your PlayOn is installed, is running. Otherwise, it will not show up in PS3.
In your PS3 console. Go to Movies. there you will see a PlayOn icon/button. Click on it . You will see the other software which are also supported by Playon like Amazon Videos, Hulu Videos, etc.
Select Netflix > Queue Top 50> and select a movie you want to play. The movie will take few seconds to buffer like it does on a computer and then it will start playing.
Make yourself some popcorn and Enjoy your Movie.
Video Demonstration "Using Netflix on PS3 with PlayOn" by youtube user beerfuzz
Few Things I didn't like about the PlayOn Software:
- The software is not able to show the progress of buffering before the movie starts. There is a black screen before the movie starts.Sometimes it feels like the PS3 is in sleep mode but it is buffering the movie in back.
The software does not allow to add or remove movies from queue. Basically I have to use a computer to make changes to my Queue. Which is ok becuase you have to do the same thing with Xbox. I make sure I add couple extra movies just in case I don't like the first movie. I can just switch to another one without help of my computer.
Leave me comments. Let me know if your run into any problem. I will be more than happy to help.

How to Add Digg Button to Blogger / Website / Blogpost
What is Digg?
Digg.com is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by their users. You won’t find editors at Digg — they provide a place where people can collectively determine the value of content and they are changing the way people consume information online.
Digg.com is a social content website where your readers can submit your article to their database. Once the article is submitted it will be available for other Digg users. If you have an original and good story, readers will ‘Digg” your post and write comments. More Diggs/Votes will make your article popular on web as result you will get more traffic on your website/blog.
As a blog author, you should make it easy for and encourage your readers to submit your articles to Digg.com. Digg button can be placed anywhere in your post. The following is a step-by-step guide to automatically place a real-time Digg count and submit button to every single blog post.
.
Things to consider before installing this Hack:
1. Before copying the code please make sure that your blog settings are set to save post pages. By having Post Pages enabled, each page will have unique url. This is required by Digg.com for the individual posts to be submitted otherwise Digg Button will try submit your Home page url for every post and will eventually error out.
To Enable Post Page, login to your Dashboard on Blogger.com. Go to Settings > Archiving and change “Enable Post Pages?” to “Yes”. Save settings and Exit.
2. Another thing to note is that Digg Button will appear on every single Blog Post including your ‘About’ and ‘Contact’ page (If you have them). Check out my instructions on how to install Digg button on 'Selective Post' in end of the post.
