NaggieHow to Integrate Google Buzz to your WordPress Theme

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Google Buzz is a new social media service introduced by Google to share real-time updates. It is integrated directly with your gmail account. It can be integrated just like Twitter in your blog to let your readers share your blogs posts with their followers.

To generate a “Share to Google Buzz” link, you just need to add the following code in between your WordPress Posts Loop.

<a href=’http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>&snippet=<?php the_title(); ?>&srcURL=<?php bloginfo(’wpurl’); ?>&srcTitle=<?php bloginfo(’name’); ?>’>Share to Google Buzz</a>

The link contains 4 parameters:

url: link to blog post
title: blog post title
srcURL: source url like your blog url
srcTitle: your blog name or title

It’s a simplest and plugin free way to add Google Buzz to your blog posts. If you want, you can add a Google Buzz icon instead of text link in the above code.

NaggieThis Week in Geek: Hacking Your Wii, New AMD Chips, ATI Cards, and Core i7 Rumors

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

This week, the biggest buzz was about Google Buzz, few of the hardware stories that might have been buried under the wave of social-networking stories.

How to Hack Your Wii For Homebrew Apps and Games

Looking to do more with your Wii? The Homebrew Channel provides a thriving community of developers and users looking to bring some amazing new features to the aging Wii console, including emulation, DVD and game playback from other regions, and the ability to run Linux. Mike Keller provides instructions for installing Homebrew on your Wii, which is easier than ever thanks to the mature Homebrew scene. Game on!

AMD Details Speed, Power Saving Features of Fusion

Code-named Llano, the new quad-core AMD Fusion processor running at speeds in excess of 3.0 GHz is due for release in 2011. A hybrid chip that combines a graphics processor and a CPU on a single piece of silicon, Fusion’s integrated graphics processor will natively support DirectX 11, allowing users to view Blu-ray movies or play 3D games. While the heat output from all four cores on a Fusion chip could be 100 watts, AMD’s new power management capabilities allow more efficient control of the chip’s energy draw, ensuring a cool processing and gaming experience.

ATI Introduces Radeon HD 5570, Targets Small Desktop PCs

Right after announcing the affordable Radeon HD 5450 line of GPUs, ATI introduced the energy-efficient, high-performance Radeon HD 5570, which is geared toward small form factor PCs. The new card supports both Direct X 11 and OpenGL 3.2, can drive up to three monitors, and only draws 45 watts when under a full processing load. Newegg is selling the HD 5570s for around $85.

Rumor: Core i7 coming soon to MacBook Pro?

The Apple rumor mill is at it again, but this time it has nothing to do with mythical tablets: Instead, reports are circulating that Apple will release an updated MacBook Pro featuring Intel’s newest Core i7 chips. What leads credence to this rumor? A recent benchmark test spotted on the Geekbench Web site lists a system that identifies itself as a MacBookPro 6,1. Current MacBook Pros identify themselves with “5,x” codes.

Details include a 2.66GHz Core i7 processor and an unreleased build of Mac OS X (10.6.2 Build 10C3067; the current release is 10.6.2 build 10C540). However, the track record of the site that announced this rumor is spotty at best, so your guess is as good as ours as to the validity of this leak.
