Google Reader Full Feed Expands Truncated Feeds with a Keystroke

http://www.geakz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/google_reader_logo.pngGoogle Chrome: Lots of sites  have truncated RSS feeds, only allowing you to see a portion of their articles in your newsreader. If you prefer to read the full articles, this extension expands them in full inside Google Reader.
After installing the extension in Chrome, some of your feeds will have an orange "G" icon next to their headlines. If you see this icon, it means that truncated article can be expanded by hitting the "z" key on your keyboard.

It doesn't necessarily work with every RSS feed out there, but the database is built such that you can add sites to it as long as you understand xpaths. (Even if you don't, plenty of other people do, so support for more and more sites will likely grow.) I found that it worked with quite a few of my truncated feeds, although I couldn't get it working with Lifehacker.You can always subscribe to our VIP feed too, which contains all the full articles.

http://codyaray.com/2009/09/06/google-reader_logo.pngFirefox users looking for similar functionality can try either the Google Reader Preview Enhanced userscript or the Google Reader Full Feed Changer userscript. The first will open up a preview of the full article (from the site itself) in the Google Reader window, and the latter requires you to know xpaths and add all your sites individually. So, neither has quite the same out-of-the-box functionality as the Chrome extension, but at least there are some options.

Google Reader Full Feed is a free download, works wherever Google Chrome does.

Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photo Google Android

The Google Android powered smartphones by HTC. Their first attempt with mix, the HTC T-Mobile G1, didn't quite had the eye candyish stuff and get a big fan following. And even though Google announced an unlocked Android G1 around the 2008 holidays, people still preferred the iPhone 3G. Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photos of a new handset which appear to be quite authentic. The first thing you would notice here is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time around there is not physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues. The back side has a new surprise A 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 (if there are any). The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves...
