I run a local server in my house called basement since it’s in the basement and has no monitor, keyboard or mouse. My server runs a custom installation of apache, php and mysql and it has a few virtual hosts setup to boot via different ports. I’ve been using Chrome on the two laptops in the [...]
Today google added a tiny yellow alert box to iGoogle with a link to a tour of new features. Yes, new great amazing features. They even go so far as to show some Gmail gadget screen shots. They don’t bother to tell you about the problem links, super reduced functionality or how many more clicks [...]
I honestly believe that if there is any product of Google’s that is so unpolished and so under-featured that it is iGoogle’s new Gmail Gadget. I was a beta test for three months. I lived with the following things for three months. No Links in Emails The iGoogle gadget seems to be forgetting something pretty [...]
You know a browser is still alive when Google releases a special code base patch for one of it’s web-apps to allow support. Of course, you also know that there isn’t any thing worse than using Internet Explorer. Today, Google announced that they will be pushing a code base patch that will allow Internet Explorer [...]
One of my favorite things to do to a browser when a new version is released is to run Slickspeed on it. Slickspeed was made by the great people who made Mootools. Since release, it has been changed, by adding more javascript libraries and a greater real world selector set. I simply used the one [...]
This post was written from the Chrome browser. It really isn’t a joke. And it works. And it looks beautiful. Great work Google. Another post will be coming soon, with some Slickspeed results. Update: I added a screen shot because I felt the post was not very fulfilling. Also, some slickspeed results will be out [...]
Today in the news, I was reading about Google’s new Browser Project. Apparently, it is based on Webkit (in the wild, that’s Safari) rather than Gecko (firefox in the wild). I wish there was another open browser out there. Firefox is currently the front-runner open browser. Safari, Opera and of course, Internet Explorer are all [...]
A user on TalkPHP posted, by the name of TerrorRonin, their new Google Design. As Google’s sensitivity to regular users declines, the changes that are made every so often push the fans of google out the door slowly but surely. They know we’ll walk back in at some point, but this design looks elegant, clean [...]
Google’s Autocompleter has been in the Google Labs beta for a long time but apparently they released it recently to the world. I am not really autosuggestion but I’ll get used to it. I’ll live with it as long as it does not make my google page any slower. I’ve noticed it already present in [...]
Sometime in June I was reading an article somewhere, it might have been Lifehacker and it mentioned Google’s new iGoogle. It’s currently running in a sandbox, which means if you use it, nothing bad can happen to your stuff. If you know anything about facebook applications, just think iGoogle with them. Basically, there are some [...]
