2007-10-31 19:10:00
We all know that Google become word in famous dictionaries like Merriam-Webster and the Oxford. But do we really know how to use "Google" as noun, verb?This is the definition of Google from Merriam-Webster dictionary.to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide WebNormally, we think Google means searching the internet, but the correct meaning is searching the internet by using Google search engine. So, obviously the following sentence is wrong.I googled her on Yahoo and she seems pretty interesting.You can't google on Yahoo!. You can google only on Google search engine. So that if you have to use Yahoo! or MSN or whatever alternative search engine, you'd better use the term "search" instead of "google".Anyway, this is for your information.

How to check Firefox cache usuage
2007-10-30 17:33:00
Hopefully, everyone knows how to adjust cache size in Firefox . In case, if you don't know, I'll let you know again.Go to Tools -->> OptionsAnd then go to Advanced tabs, Select Network.You will see cache size as shown below.You can adjust to whatever the size you want. But one thing that made me confused is that what size is enough for me? 50 MB is more than enough? Or is that too small? Do I need to clear frequently? Blah, blah, blah!!!Now I've got the solution. You can type in the address bar "about:cache". It will show you how much cache space is used and how much free space left. For me, I am using only half of cache size. So I shouldn't worry about cleaning up again and again. But it will all depend on your browsing habits. If you're using very high speed internet, you might browse a ton of flash sites and videos, so maybe your cache may full. It is ok to leave your cache as it is, but if you assign more cache space, in case if you revisited the old video or flash page, you...

Notepad bug in details
2007-10-30 01:58:00
I have told you guys a brief explanation about how Bush Hid the facts notepad bug occurs.It is because of IsTextUnicode function. This function is used to guess opening files are using which types of encoding (the traditional ANSI encoding or the Unicode encoding).For a long sentences, it's fine. But for a short word, it become pretty tricky. Let's go into details.To store "Hello" in notepad, it will convert to encoding. There are many types of encoding notepad support. Most encoding starts with their specific prefix to tell the program what types of encoding they are using. But the tricky things happen because Notepad also support encoding with NO prefixes, such as the traditional ANSI encoding (i.e., "plain ASCII") and the Unicode (little-endian) encoding with no BOM.Confused? See below Hello in different types of encoding.48 65 6C 6C 6F This is the traditional ANSI encoding. (No prefix)48 00 65 00 6C 00 6C 00 6F 00 This is the Unicode (little-endian) encoding with no BOM....

Now Gmail space is over 4 GB and counting
2007-10-29 18:08:00
Long long ago, based on the counter speed of Gmail page, I wrote an article that Gmail will reach 3 GB in 2008. But recently, Google increased the speed of the counter and now Gmail has got over 4GB already. Some people even suggest that Gmail will reach 6GB at January 2008. If you're using Google Apps like me, they've adjusted the storage boost for our custom email addresses too. If you're Premier Edition users, now you will get a mighty 25 GB space instead of 10 GB. Some of you might say that Yahoo! have already offered unlimited storage for their email. Are you aware that Yahoo! not only they reserve the right to delete MISUSED accounts but also limit their attachment size at 10MB (Gmail now allow 20MB).We all love Google, don't we?

Top 10 reasons why you shouldn't get a MAC

Apple is giving reasons what they think is imperative for making the change from a PC to a MAC can be found on their website and their famous "I'm a PC, I'm a MAC" ads. After I've seen most of the Apple ads and have read their long lists of conviction, I don't see any apparent reasons why Windows users should switch to MAC. Let's start the list!1. It just works.Huh? What do you mean it just works? Many MAC ads will tell you that all people that own MAC are really satisfied with their computer and MAC never crash. It's just a pack of lies. It does crashes a lot.Normally, Windows crash because of third party faulty hardware, for MAC, it simply their OS is suck. Just wonder why Apple Sweden website is running Solaris, not MAC OSX. Maybe they know their OS is not reliable.2. You can even run Windows.Apple just invented BootCamp and then came out and say "Come all Windows users, buy our expensive hardware; you can still use your Vista". If you can indeed run Vista like on your norm...

Why Yahoo! search is far far behind Google

I'm always wondered why Yahoo ! can't defeat Google yet? I know that Yahoo! acquire many many companies and tried to be in front of Google in the search war.But except simple search terms, Yahoo! search results are far far behind Google. Yahoo! results usually look spammy and irrelevant. Anyone with one week experience of both search engines can tell you that Google is a clear winner.Why? why?Well, the answer actually lies within Yahoo! itself. After you've built a new website, if you want your site to get indexed by Google, everyone can submit for free. Even though Google have adwords program with sponsored search results, Google clearly states that no one can buy search results.For Yahoo!, even though there are free search submission available, they also accept paid submission.

When it comes to loans, there are many options. Now, what I am talking about is not say a car loan and a mortgage specifically, rather the major types of loans most people get.What about homeowner loan type? If you are a homeowner and need to raise finance for one of a range of purposes then you could find that secured loans provide the perfect solution. Basically the way it works is you take a second mortgage on your home and the amount available is based on the equity you have in your home. Most people take out this type of loan to renovate their house or do some home improvements. Another type of loan is personal loans. Personal loan has various advantages. if you are longing for a luxurious holiday and you are lacking in adequate finance then you can take a personal loan to materialize your dream. Personal loan can be used for debt consolidation also. If you have taken a number of loans and built up a huge debt then you can take a personal loan. It will help you to consolidate...

Hackatonish - Mac in a pc

I have been trying to run Mac on my PC. I have been reading about Mac good news here and there. Many people suggest that Mac is very superior to Windows, blah, blah, blah. So I thought I should give it a try. But I don't want to invest that much money for Mac hardware. That's why now I'm into Hackatonish, which kernel has been patched to run Mac on non-Apple hardware. As of now, I have installed Jas MacOSX 10.4.8 in VMware. I have found out that Mac is quite suck though. No, I'm not talking about performance, I know VMware is slow for every OS. But when I try to download Google Talk, with Mac version, I can't talk, I can only type. What's the point of having Google talk without having ability to talk? After that, I have downloaded attachment from my friend email and then when I tried to download Winrar, there's no GUI support for Mac version. Geez!!I pray it won't end up like my linux experience.Stay tuned for my updated Mac experience. I may install it on real pc soon.

Browser war not over yet?
2007-10-08 06:36:00
Those who think browser war has already gone, think again! Remember, this June, Apple had to make their safari available for Windows. We all know Safari sucks on Windows. Yeah, that's right! Apple has been forced to make because if they want to get more marketshare, Windows is the only platform that could do.With Mozilla's firefox community growing and some people got turn on by the speed of Opera, Microsoft have to make their IE7 available without WGA validation too. Of course IE7 is very superior than IE6 based on performance, functionality and security. But with WGA validation (you know most of Windows user are pirated), their reach is quite limited. So now, Microsoft don't attach any bound anymore. Here we go, enjoy the war!Source : Channel Insider and IEBlog
