What a Firefox?

This article got published in The Nxg newspaper on july 16th 2009.
It can be viewd in the newspaper's site
here
One thing that has made Firefox, the best open source web browser, a popular choice among the common internet users is its add-ons. Apparently Firefox has become a driving force for Mozilla to create a strong brand name. Its impact has been so huge that Microsoft, prior to its congenital disorder inducted a few of the men who worked under Firefox to help them build their latest internet explorer, the IE8. Talking about add-ons, for every aspect of the browser viz. Appearance, extensions, downloads, toolbars, rss feeds, there is an add-on specifically available. There is even an add-on available even for Facebook. For instance, for somebody who downloads quite often, there is this add-on of the popular software, Down Them All! to make their downloads faster. There is an add-on called Firefox persona which allows one to customize his header and footer image of the browser, this add-on is creating a real stir in the Firefox users and a heavy toll of personas have come out giving your browser a trendy look. Other useful add-ons like Foxclocks-which provides accurate time across the globe , foxmarks- a helpful bookmark toolbar, foxytunes- a much useful media player toolbar which allows you to manage media files while using the browser without the need to toggle around windows. Apart from these there is a highly useful tab called cooliris- this tab provides a graphically superior environment to view your entire image search in any given search engine. This concept makes your image search eye refreshing rather than a dull scroll down page of a Google search. Another latest product of the same company is the coolpreview which has gained much popularity in short time span. This option helps you view the content of your Google search or any kind of link appearing in the browser, in a temporary screen without your need to actually browse into the site or link. It's a highly useful add-on while searching for the right content from a Google search when a large list of sites is available. Every Firefox thus becomes unique and special and provides a comfortable arena to have your needs fulfilled. All the add-ons mentioned here can be downloaded from https://addons.mozilla.org. The latest Firefox browser can be downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/.All these options definitely redefine the very meaning of a browser and in future more quality utilities are expected to be launched. Thanks to Mozilla to bring out such a wonderful product that caters exactly to the needs of its user.


 

What an idea sirji?

Golden Ganesh if at all it sounded like some villain's tag in a Tamil commercial flick, Guys come on its off course not. This is a new venture by a few of my friends. Indeed it's a novel idea as in contemporary with age. There had been radio plays over the years but since the dawn of internet and its by-product the charm of radio listening and more similar hobbies have disappeared. There had been days when most of the drama artists have made more money by selling audio cassettes of all their dramas. It's time we started exploring the same avenues in the internet also. Congrats to the guys who have taken up the initiative. With regards to the story, I can only say the script writer is one hell of a guy highly motivated by many serious English movies involving the CIA, FBI and other secret services across the globe(off course pink panther included). Nothing much can be commented about the story since they have just launched 5 episodes of this series. Hope the coming episodes have the exact quotient of suspense and surprise to grasp their audience. If you had liked prison break, heroes and a few more of the series that are making chart busters, I'm sure you are going to like this one too.

The series can be listened to at http://xdell.blogspot.com/

One can even add the widget of this series in your blog so that it gets updated as and when the episodes get launched. The widget is available here http://sxjthefirst.blogspot.com/

Lesser Mortals

People say God created man and then man created his fellow beings and thus the vicious cycle followed. Indeed the cycle part of it is true but for God created not one but two of his kind, one the less intellectual, the other his compatriot the supremo, the intellectual. Over years due to false accusation and even harder criticism by the mean mortals, the former of the Gods creation have be tormented to hell as a third rate piece of mockery and treated as a mere clown. It has apparently led to an irrevocable demarcation between the mean mortals and the popular cult the GEEKS.

As we approached the 21st century, the easiest way to portray a geek was to put him in a dungeon with a computer kiosk. Not to forget his full moon spectacles and super fast accent that none understands. Do they deserve this harangue, Why not a a geek appear cool with a sunglass and a chopper for his wheels. Indeed the all powerful entertainment media has biased all the minds of its viewers saying a Geek is what we show you? Better believe it. Maybe in future a day may arise where the high brainy shall mock at the mean mortals and remove the stain battered on them over the ages! That day is not so far…

My name has a funny expansion

This is an application in Facebook named 'Decode your ROBOT name'. I found this one really comical and thought of sharing it in my blog.
