Consume and absorb more information by learning nifty speed-reading tricks. The key is organization. Prioritize the information by deciding what to read first. A news story might beg for your attention, whereas another story might be worthwhile for bookmarking to read later. Once you decide what to read, focus on crucial information communicated by the author, which is often contained in the title, subtitle, and first sentence of the article. Also, consider reading supporting information that reinforces the title of the article. Look at eye-catching images and extracted quotes (often in bold). Finally, take a look at the conclusion. This section usually reiterates the title and expresses the author's viewpoint. By turning speed-reading into an everyday practice, you'll be able to easily identify what is important and what read more »

If you ever find yourself needing to review the contents of a Microsoft Word 2007 document (DOCX) but you're sitting at a computer without a Word installation or any other comparable word processor, weblog Digital Inspiration details how to read the document with nothing but Internet Explorer. In a nutshell, the method involves changing the doc's file extension to ZIP, unzipping it, and then finding a document.xml file inside the unzipped archive. From there, you can open that XML file in IE (or virtually any text editor, for that matter). As the post mentions, your document will lack any formatting, but it will allow you to read the content, which is essentially what matters anyway.Read DOCX Files in Internet Explorer - No read more »

Google Earth has received lots of updates lately and the Mountain View company seems to enjoy this campaign of improvement so, today, it offers us one new thing: the possibility to read news in Google Earth thanks to a partnership with the New York Times. What's interesting is that the two companies aimed to provide geo-coded news, which means you are able to view a certain location in Google Earth, plus the news available for that area. So, interested in what happened recently in Germany? ... read more »

Got some downtime at the office but don't feel comfortable pulling out a paperback to get some reading in on-the-job? Web site Read at Work serves up public domain works in PowerPoint-looking chunks. The site boasts a convincing Flash application that runs in fullscreen and looks exactly like a Windows XP installation. (You have to try it to truly appreciate it.) Granted, reading an entire book in this fashion is far from ideal, but if you're desperate, it's a fun—albeit weird—way to get your fix.Read at Work

Voice-to-text service Jott has up and reversed their game a bit with their latest service offering—having custom-picked feeds read back to you, over your phone connection. If you're already a Jott member, you should see a feed notice when you log in starting today, where you can choose highlighted feeds (including Lifehacker) or give Jott your custom feeds. Call into Jott, say "Jott feeds" when asked "Who do you want to Jott?" and you're on your way. Setting up popular news feeds and blogs is pretty straight-forward, but you can get more from your feed read-backs with a few tweaks:
When you first head over to your Jott Feeds, you'll have five pre-assigned feeds listed there (including a certain produ read more »

All-things-Google weblog Google Operating System details how to set up a read-items search in Google Reader. By default Reader searches all of your items, read and unread, and the results are sorted by date and not relevancy. If you subscribe to a lot of feeds, you may end up with a lot of unread items in your results when you know you've already read what you're looking for. By subscribing to your own read items feed, as detailed in the Google Operating System post, you can quickly and easily search only your read items. Not bad, though more sorting options for search results (like relevancy) would be better. You can also improve your search results by getting to know Google Reader's supported search oper read more »
