The Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, and
all you have to know is how to find it. Google is your ultimate
research tool--a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion web
pages, in more than 30 languages, conducting more than 150 million
searches a day.
The more you know about Google, the better you are at pulling data off
the Web. You've got a cadre of techniques up your sleeve--tricks
you've learned from practice, from exchanging ideas with others, and
from plain old trial and error--but you're always looking for better
ways to search.
It's the "hacker" in you: not the troublemaking kind, but the kind who
really drives innovation by trying new ways to get things done. If
this is you, then you'll find new inspiration (and valuable tools,
too) in Google Hacks from O'Reilly's new Hacks Series.

Google Hacks is mentioned in an article titled
"Fishing for Information? Try Better Bait" in tomorrow's NYT
Circuits.
A new book, "Google Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips and Tools," by
Tara Calishain and Rael Dornfest (O'Reilly & Associates), is the
latest resource in a growing industry to help people become better
online searchers. It catalogs ways to uncover nuggets of information.
Although a large part of the book is intended for programmers who
adapt Google's search services for their own Web sites, there is much
in it for everyday users.

It offers multiple search features like the ability to search images
and news groups.However it's true power lies in it's powerful commands
that can be used and misused.I am writing this article on the basis of
my experience using google and trying out ideas when i am bored.Now

Google Hacks /. Reviewed
03/19/2003 10:24 PMI woke up to a fabulous
/
. review of Google Hacks.
Google Hacks by Tara Calishain and Rael Dornfest and published by
O'Reilly will appeal to an even wider audience, I can imagine buying
this for friends who haven't cottoned on to 'net searching at all and
friends who complain "Google returns too many sites." People who are
afraid to code shouldn't be put off by the "Hacks" in the title:
O'Reilly have obviously taken a wider meaning of "hack" than just a
neat piece of code. This book is a marvelous compendium of tips and
tricks for Google, ranging from simple ways of getting the search
results you want, through using Google's newer services such as phone
books and image search, all the way to advanced ways of using scrapers
and the Google API.
O'Reilly just posted some of the Google Hacks
online in their entirety.
I chose one of my favourites,
"NoXML, Another SOAP::Lite
Alternative".

08/09/2004 06:41 PMI have to agree with Chris, Microsoft could have sped the
deployment of XP SP2 by seeding a Torrent the file would have spread
like wildfire. But I guess then they probably would have been accused
of promoting one of the best file distribution tools on the net and
would have legitimized a tool that organizations like the MPAA and
RIAA hate. [Ch

Spidering Hacks
Spidering Hacks
11/01/2003 12:57 PMThe latest book in the O'Reilly Hacks series, "Spidering Hacks,"
(written by Kevin "Morbus Iff" Hemenway and Tara "ResearchBuzz"
Calishain) is out. It's the site-scraper's bible, with 100 tips and
tricks for sucking in data from the Web.
Spidering Hacks takes you to the next level in Internet data
retrieval--beyond search engines--by showing you how to create spiders
and bots to retrieve information from your favorite sites and data
sources. You'll no longer feel constrained by the way host sites think
you want to see their data presented--you'll learn how to scrape and
repurpose raw data so you can view in a way that's meaningful to you.
Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants, librarians,
and power users, Spidering Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and
scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in spidering
concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box utilities), and ethics (how
to know when you've gone too far: what's acceptable and unacceptable).
Next, you'll collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll
learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it for use
in other applications, and even build authorized interfaces to
integrate the data into your own content.

if I may be so bold. The book covers all things spidering, from
methodology to code, tools to ethics; take a gander at the

It's always nice when a tech book adds to the discussion around the
tools it represents and gives something back. Andy Lester, author of

the book adds it to the documentation for his module.

Manga and eBooks on Your PSP
Manga and eBooks on Your PSP
03/29/2005 11:24 AM
1UP
has a write-up about reading manga and eBooks on your PSP, which is a
pleasant enough read, but for fears of legal retribution doesn't
actually link to a lot of content. That means there's no one-stop
download, but they can at least point you in the right direction. The
main problem I see for comics and manga is that not everything is
going to fit to one size and the current image viewing software on the
PSP doesn't scroll easily, so reading large frames could be difficult.
For eBooks, though, it looks pretty decent. Maybe someone will start
converting free books to a native PSP resolution .zip files so I don't
have to do any real work.
