Revive the Old Bar in Firefox 3.0

Use the old bar add-on in Firefox 3.0 if you don’t like the cluttered results you get as you begin typing in the address bar. It still searches for the words you begin typing in both the URL and the page title but displays them in one line as in the previous version of Firefox.

Convert FireFox to a Social Networking Browser

FireFox v3.0 released a few hours ago and as promised, it definitely seems faster and less of a memory hog than its predecessor. I already had a taste when I installed its release candidates. Also, if you were attracted to another browser, Flock for its social networking capabilities, Keith D’Souza at Techie-Buzz offers excellent advice [...]

Dasavatharam Review Reactions

The Dasavatharam review by Hawkeye linked on DesiPundit by JK has been receiving interesting Rediff-like comments. As much as I’m enjoying them I hope it doesn’t become a trend although I can’t complain about the increased traffic.

Twitter Down Again?

I don’t know if I feel sorry for Jim or for Twitter. Seriously, Twitter must be the only online company that is having a problem with too many users or rather heavy users. They better fix their problems or be ready to lose their users to others like FriendFeed, Pownce, Plurk, etc.

FireFox 3 aims for a World Record

While FireFox 3 RC1 has been receiving praise widely, I rather wait for the final version which is expected mid- to late-June. I’ve been looking forward to this release a lot primarily in hope that this version resolves the memory leak problems in the current version that makes the browser very sluggish at times and [...]

Which content is popular on the Internet?

NY Times is a reputed news source not only in the print media but also on the Internet. The name notwithstanding, the paper is the closest America has to a national daily (USA Today is a paper for travelers with pretty graphics and Wall Street Journal has a distinct business and economics slant). In spite [...]

Turning the Pages

Powered by Adobe Shockwave plugin, this scanned archive of rare books at the British Library lets you turn pages to browse through the books. Books include the oldest printed book, the Diamond Sutra printed in China in 868. Pretty cool.

Facelift for Facebook

Facebook is slated for a major overhaul as its designers aim for a “simpler, cleaner, and more relevant” look by decluttering your profile pages. It also will introduce tabs that will emphasize your ‘Wall’ and ‘Photos’ apart from your profile details; all applications will be dumped under one tab. I’m already past my Facebook addiction [...]

Brijit Closing Down

I’m sad that Brijit is closing down [see archived homepage]. I loved the concept of human-powered filter for quality articles. I would like to think their business plan wasn’t drafted right because I believe the idea has at least some following.

Obama in 30 Seconds

Move On Dot Org is currently running a national contest on creating 30-second videos for the Obama ‘08 campaign. They announced the 15 finalists recently based on viewer votes. Some of the videos are wonderful and creative and I’m glad that one of the three voting criteria is the presence of a positive message.

Google Microsoft bidding for Digg?

Google and Microsoft were purportedly involved in an open bidding war for Digg. Numbers like $200-225 million are being flung around. Digg CEO Jay Adelson however is terming those rumors as “completely inaccurate”. Or is Kevin Rose simply holding out for more?

Google Penalty Reversed

I guess Google loves me once again. The referrals aren’t back yet to their original levels but they are getting there. As you see, February was a bad month, traffic-wise [see the above image for fall and rise of Google referrals] I had whined earlier on the harsh penalty it imposed on my blog for [...]

GTalk gets the Mr.India farmoola

Now that it can be invisible, I can finally use it more often. And people, if it says I’m busy chances are I probably am. If you are across the world and are getting bored at night, then I’m probably at work and don’t have time to be bored (and vice versa) so don’t [...]
