Google Chrome- browser from Google

Posted on September 3, 2008 by admin | No Comments

Each tab runs as a different process.
Chrome’s Task Manager allows you to shut down an errant tab, without bringing the entire browser down

Incognito Mode. A one-click option to go invisible while browsing sites, nice. Under Incognito Mode, Chrome does not store any information on the sites you are browsing.
An incognito window will not leave cookies on your PC. Nor will sites browsed while incognito appear in your history

It’s compliant. Google Chrome passed the Acid2 test fine. It failed the Acid3 Link Test though (a 77/100 score), which is strange since Webkit was one of the two (the other being Opera) that had passed the Acid3 test. But javascript support is excellent, from what little browsing we did on AJAX-intensive websites. (For those wondering — Safari gets 75/100 on Acid3, Opera 83/100, Firefox 70/100, IE8 12/100.)

Multiple desktop software [3d]

Posted on August 31, 2008 by admin | No Comments

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/3798/yodm3dih1ld6.jpg
Have you seen that amazing cube effect you can do when using Linux? Now you can enjoy it when using Windows thanks to this great and free application.

Yod?m 3D, a name taken from the acronym of Yet Another Desktop Manager 3D, that?s what we will enjoy, a really good virtual desktop manager whose main function is to create multiple virtual desktops and let us change between them with that fashionable 3D cube.

One desktop on each side of the cube, so you will have 4 desktops (upper and lower are not accessible)and your screen will be more productive than ever, and, of course, it will looks really amazing.

The rotation of the cube is done with the keys CTRL+SHIFT+Arrows, although you can custom it, but if you want the effect to be more special, use your mouse.

Note
The project has been renamed, you can find the new version called DeskSpace clicking here

With traveling and use of many different computers, many geeks (and geek girls) often find a need to have a uniform set of tools handy wherever we may be. I’ve put together a list of 25 invaluable portable apps that can be installed on an Ipod or Thumb Drive. These are really cool!

  1. TrueCrypt – encrypt your thumb drive to protect your information
  2. ToDoList – A tak management tool that allows you to repeatedly sub-divide your tasks into more manageable pieces whilst still presenting a clean and intuitive user experience. (Windows Only)
  3. Portable Firefox – Leaves no personal information behind on the machine – you can take along your browser/extensions/bookmarks anywhere
  4. Pidgin Portable – All-in-one instant messaging (supports AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, G-Chat, etc)
  5. WS FTP32 – ftp client
  6. FileZilla – yet another ftp client
  7. Notepad2 – a fast light-weight advanced text editor with syntax highlighting
  8. Notepad++ – this is one of my favorite text editors – now made portable
  9. Color Cop – this is one of my favorite freeware apps – includes an eyedropper you can drag over any window to grab the color value. It then offers a palette of 42 complimentary colors to the one you’ve picked.
  10. Ifranview – a light little graphics viewer/editor that packs a big punch. You can use it to work with screen captures, create slideshows and more
  11. GIMP – the popular open source image editor packaged as a portable app – very robust
  12. 7-Zip Portable – handles zip, gzip, tar, rar etc
  13. Allway Sync – syncs files between your thumb drive and PC
  14. Unknown Devices – helps you find out what the unknown devices in the device manager are
  15. TestDisk – data recovery software that can recover lost partitions or make drives bootable again
  16. UTorrent – my preferred bit torrent client – I love having this with me wherever I go
  17. Roeder’s .NET Reflector – recently purchased by Red Gate, this still-free app can be used to explore .NET assemblies, understand relationships between classes and methods, find where types are instantiated and exposed or check that code has been correctly obfuscated before release. There are also over 30 add-ins available.
  18. Process Explorer – formerly Filemon and Regmon, this is an invaluable sleuthing tool
  19. TightVNC – based on the popular VNC remote control software, this version can live on a thumb drive
  20. WinMerge – compares differences between files and merges changes. It has the same features as the desktop version
  21. Text2Html – a text to HTML converter – converts text files into HTML format
  22. Portable Apps Suite – this is the mac-daddy of them all – it includes Firefox, Thunderbird(email), Sunbird(calendar),ClamWin (antivirus), Pidgin(see above), Sumatra PDF Readable, KeePass Password Safe, OpenOffice, CoolPlayer (audio Player) and even a couple of games
  23. Restoration – Recover accidentally deleted files – even after they were deleted from the recycle bin
  24. Infra Recorder Portable – cd and dvd burning
  25. RockXP – allows you to recover windows passwords or keys, change keys, display system password, and more – sneaky!
