There’s no shortage of services that let you convert long URLs into little ones. But there’s one major problem with most URL shortening services: they make it tough to figure out exactly what you’re clicking on. While this comes in handy if you’re up for a little harmless rickrolling, if you share a NSFW (not safe for work) link over email, your blog, or Twitter, be prepared for some angry comments.
NSFW.in solves this problem by shortening your link and directing visitors to a warning page before pulling up the original link. On the off chance that you don’t know what NSFW stands for, NSFW.in also makes it fairly clear that the site you’re about to visit might not be something you want your co-workers to catch you looking at.

A few months ago Google launched an iGoogle themes gallery, making it a tiny easier to find themes for your personalized Google homepage. But just a little. While you can search for themes in the directory, there’s no way to browse by category. So if you want to see celebrity, nature, or artsy themes, you’ve to either search through the whole pile or keep entering search terms until you find what you’re looking for.
InThemes is a new unofficial iGoogle themes gallery that puts the official gallery to shame. Themes are divided up into categories and subcategories. And since each theme submitted to inThemes is reviewed before it’s added to the gallery, there’s a superior chance of finding themes that aren’t… how to put this delicately… unsightly.

Does the world really need another photo sharing website? Maybe, if that site is Photie.com. Photie’s design is strikingly easy. It’s easy to navigate, signup is a snap, and there are plenty of interesting pics to check out on the front page. The main attraction here, though, is the capability to upload photos of any size.
Photie doesn’t have all the pro features that sites like Flickr and Smugmug offer, but there are plenty of users out there who think of those as frills. A free service with a nice, clean design and no cap on file sizes looks pretty good if you don’t want to deal with stuff like social networks, mobile uploads, and signup fees. This is just uploading and tagging, like nature intended it.
The site is still in beta, so we’ll keep an eye on it and see how it evolves. Frankly, we’re hoping it stays with the friendly “less-complicated-than-Flickr, much-classier-than-ImageShack model”. Before you begin with the “not another pic site!” comments, give it a look. We think some users will find it’s just what they needed.
Warning: Because Photie displays recently-uploaded pics on the front page, you might not want to click through at work. There was nothing controversial up front when we took the screenshot above, but it’s best to be careful. Thanks to readers Alex and Todd for catching this.

 Yesterday we told you about a new desktop widget engine called Sobees which is in private beta. We also told you that if you wanted in on the private beta you had to sign up at the Sobees homepage. But Francois from the Sobees team has been kind enough to share 10 invites with Download Squad readers. Just be one of the first ten people to leave a comment on this post and we’ll email you an invitation.
Keep in mind, this is beta software. And not beta like Gmail is still in beta. While the widget engine is fairly impressive, it’s also sluggish and a memory hog. But we suspect both of these problems will diminish over time. And if you want to keep an eye on the application’s progress, and are willing to share feedback with the developers, just leave a comment below.
Update: And we’ve got our winners. We’ve turned off the comments for this post and will be sending out the invite codes momentarily. Thanks for playing!

This article from a Swiss newspaper recounts the appearance of Christopher Tarnovsky at the European Black Hat conference (link is to a Google translation of the French original). Next month Tarnovsky will testify in a lawsuit brought by a maker of satellite TV encryption systems (Kudeslki) against an Israeli company (NDS), for whom Tarnovsky worked until recently. (NDS is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.) While with NDS, Tarnovsky cracked Kudeslki’s crypto, but claims he didn’t post the result on the open Net. His responses to audience questions are amusing, in particular when someone from Microsoft asks him about breaking the Xbox 360 console. Tarnovsky replies (in the translation): “I have been offered 100,000 dollars for the break, but I replied that it was not enough.”

 Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) is about to launch a site for women between 25 and 52 years old. It must think this group does not have enough to do on the internet. The assumption is a victory of hope over reason.
According to The Wall Street Journal the new site called Shine is “aimed largely at giving the Internet company additional opportunities to sell advertising targeted to the key decision-maker in many household.” The same group is the target of the websites of virtually each women’s magazine and web-only operation like NBC’s iVillage.
Yahoo! is very late to the game. There’s no reason that the large websites for brands from Vogue to Women’s Day to Allure are going to lose any visitors to the new destination. The older brands have been in business for years and women only have to much time to spend on the internet.
The launch is an example of why Yahoo! has been relatively unsuccessful in recent years. It has become a follower and not a leader in categories from maps to news.
The new operation gives Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) on more part of Yahoo! to close down if and when it buys the company.

Adobe has released a public alpha of Adobe AIR for Linux, which means you can now run applications built using the Adobe Integrated Runtime on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. Adobe AIR is an environment that lets user run online applications offline. For example, here are a few of our favorite AIR applications:
Adobe is also joining the Linux Foundation this day, joining other companies including HP, Google, and Nokia. The group encourages Linux development, and the addition of Adobe AIR could really step things up a bit, since developers can now create applications for a single platform and have them run on Windows, Mac, and Linux boxes.
