…the latest update for your webcam is QuickCam 11.1…Do a clean installation for your QuickCam software…remove the current installation of the software first…
You can acquire the software driver QuickCam 11.1 from the following link:

It worked.
Whenever I had gone to their website to download the latest version of software available for the Logitech Fusion, the only file that was available was qc1100.exe.  After contacting support, I was given a link to qc1110.exe.  And now, in case you need it, I’m giving it to you…

Google search sputtered

I like to have backups…spares…alternative plans. Today, I realized have allowed myself to become much too trusting…again.

This morning, I dragged myself over to one of my computers to search for…something…it really doesn’t matter what it is. I’m sure I’m no different than others who are too lazy to look in whatever they use for bookmarks, and find it easier and quicker to search for a website and webpage they want. Google has become my default “spell-checker”, as well…

ALL of the results from Google showed, “This site may harm your computer”. All links available from the searches would not allow me to move forward to the websites. I thought that it must be something I was doing: my browsers have been up for a very long time. But, it was happening on both of my computers. Well…I haven’t restarted them in a very long time…so I did. Same problem. Could it be my internet service provider? I have long suspected problems with their service…I only use them because I can’t afford a different one.

Then I noticed that on Twitter that I wasn’t the only technology related media personality that had the problem (I suspect the reason his post beat mine is because I was troubleshooting, and he wasn’t). I was in no rush to learn what had happened…I went back to being ill with influenza.

Later, I found Google’s explanation: an update had caused the problem. I think we can all empathize with them. I can’t imagine anyone not updating, upgrading, or installing something that did not work correctly…and/or made what was working cease to.

What really bothered me about me was I had been so conditioned, I forgot that Yahoo! has a search engine!

With that in mind:
Wikipedia has a list of search engines…
visit Search Engine Watch to try to stay on top of the latest search news…
and, allow me to suggest we use meta-search engines (“…a search tool that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source…”).

traffic cameras broadcast video at all times

(Just a reminder that no one should be surprised that privacy can be at a minimum…)

Some photo enforcement cameras (used to catch speeders) are streaming video. Do you know where the video is going to, and who has access to it?…

CameraFRAUD.com is reporting that Redflex Traffic Systems can scan license plates of every vehicle that passes the cameras.

Some agencies are using vehicles that can scan the license plates of cars ahead of them. After scanning, the license can be compared against databases to determine if the vehicle is being sought for…

Google Notebook to become stagnant

Soon, Google Notebook will no longer be improved…
You can export notebooks to Google Docs, which I recommend you do…now (just to be safe).
————————————————-

If you can afford it, take a look at Microsoft OneNote.
I’ve been using Evernote ever since it was in beta, and am prepared to recommend it. After it is installed on a computer, a portable version can be installed to a USB drive. It syncs to a web interface, and can also be accessed via mobile devices. [New update, January 23:] Evernote has developed a Google Notebook import tool…

————————————————-

Zoho Notebook is attempting to allow Google Notebooks to be imported…

To export your Google Notebook as Atom via Google Notebook’s interface:
Step 1: Click Manage notebooks on the left hand side.
Step 2: Click export on which notebook you want to export.
Step 3: Click Atom…you will be prompted to save a file. Save that file to your disk.

To import/upload your notebooks from Google Notebook into Zoho Notebook:
Step 4: click Browse or Choose file button provided to select the saved file.
Step 5: Click Import.
