The Creative Commons recently released LiveContent 2.0 a Free Live DVD. We checked it out and wanted to give you an overview of what it’s all about. Basically, it’s a Fedora Live DVD with free and open source content that comes loaded with Creative Commons’ (CC) licensed material. CC allows creators like artists, scientists, authors, etc. to share their works with the world so that you can reuse and remix this work legally.
The CC content on the DVD includes text, audio, video, image and educational resources. The files have a CC license associated with them, which tells you how you can use the content. Some content only requires attribution while other files’ licenses may require attribution as well as the requirement to use the content verbatim with no derivative works based upon it. There are 6 CC licenses and you can search for media based upon the license that fits your needs.

The PR (PageRank) Bar is really small in the new Google Toolbar 5 (Beta). Notice also the text “Page Rank” is gone. Perhaps this is a sign that Google does not want to emphasize PageRank as much as before? Another way of discouraging “Paid links”? Even the cosmetic beauty of seeing your sites’ PR fill up that bar with green pixels is gone.

The company I work for Worldlabel.com, a manufacturer of labels for laser and inkjet printers including all popular sizes and layouts similar to Avery Labels released a really cool Google Gadget: iLabel-it CD Beta V1 for making simple CD and DVD Labels right from you iGoogle page.
Quickly and easily create and label your own CD / DVD with iLabel-It-CD. Personalize the title, contents and add the date and then output to a PDF template for printing. Use Worldlabel.com product WL-OL1200, 4.5″ CD, same size as Avery® 5824.

This seems to be an expansion of Google’s Sitelink program. Probably just a test at the moment, but very cool indeed for quick searching of large sites.
