However, the service has the potential to completely justify the punchline.<strong> </strong>Let&#8217;s quickly see what the service provider has to say about the service before exploring the various features and pros and cons of it.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The new way to search using only your mouse</strong> Select text on any web page or document and <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> does the rest.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let&#8217;s quickly see what&#8217;s the basic purpose of <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a>. For the convenience of the readers I have taken tried to demonstrate the functionality of <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> from within this post itself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1092"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have successfully installed <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> just select the text from within supported application (in this case <strong>new way to search</strong>) and you&#8217;ll notice a small blue balloon marked with a red arrow in the screenshot below.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calloutdemo1.gif" rel="shadowbox[post-1092];player=img;"><img height="230" width="355" class="alignright alignnone size-full wp-image-1095" style="border: 1px solid black; float: right; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="calloutdemo1" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calloutdemo1.gif" alt="" /></a>Now quickly take a look at what else can <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> do for you. Boasts of searching information 10x faster (I am not sure how they calculated the 10x factor), <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> actually reduces your search time. Not that Firefox, flock and mozilla did not have extensions which did this but <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> does it with much more smartness and also provides support for many more applications than just Mozilla based browsers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following are various applications which are supported by <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> and I am sure there&#8217;ll be more applications being supported in future.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calloutapplication.png" rel="shadowbox[post-1092];player=img;"><img height="249" width="500" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1097 aligncenter" title="calloutapplication" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calloutapplication.png" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To add a little spice to <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a>, I extracted the <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> firefox extension and modified the RDF file to make it compatible with Flock and Mozilla. <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> also has a great Dock, where you can send your searches for later review. You can checkout the other nitty grittys of <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a> at the <a href="http://www.kallout.com/product_tour.html" target="_blank">Product Tour Page</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following is a quick youtube demo of <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/kallout/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with KallOut">KallOut</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><object height="344" width="425" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lEFynbqrNW0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed height="344" width="425" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lEFynbqrNW0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></embed></object> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" align="left" src="http://tnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/power.gif" alt="Microsoft" />Getting <font color="#ffcc00">Windows Vista Business</font> and <font color="#ffcc00">2007 <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> Office</font> system was never so easy. After working on the Vista operating system for countless years and fixing infinite bugs, <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> is offering Windows Vista Business and 2007 <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> Office for absolutely free at <font color="#ffcc00">PowerTogether.com</font>. </p>
<p>Sorry my Indian brother&#8217;s, this <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/offer/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with offer">offer</a> is valid in US only (As if Indians don&rsquo;t use Windows O/S at all). All you have to do is follow <a target="_blank" href="https://vsd.powertogether.com/Campaign.aspx">3</a> simple (No free lunck!) <a target="_blank" href="https://vsd.powertogether.com/Campaign.aspx">steps</a> to get your free edition of either of these software packages.</p>
<p><span id="more-237"></span>As it is free for all (only in US, which I was not aware off), I have all the rights to register for the packages but it turns out that until I agree for at least three webcast to get the software package, not only that but the free Windows Vista Business and 2007 <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/microsoft/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Microsoft">Microsoft</a> Office is available in US only. Its not over yet, there is more to it&hellip; I registered using <a href="http://mozilla.org" target="_blank"><font color="#ffcc00">FF</font></a> (FireFox, Dude!) and after the registration completed I wanted to see the webcast I registered for, and it turns out that I HAVE to use IE to view the webcast (Now that&rsquo;s lame).</p>
<p>Any way, people in US who have the patience to watch at least 3 webcast and use <a href="http://microsoft.com" target="_blank"><font color="#ffcc00">IE</font> </a>can get <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/free-vista/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Free Vista">free Vista</a> and Office 2007. Click <a href="http://powertogether.com" target="_blank">here</a> to get your free copy.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
