The Best Browser in the World

Windows with a taste of Mac OS

Just like the other applications done by Apple on windows, Safari 3.0 Beta is the best when it comes to preserving the original aspect of the system and of the rival Microsoft. All the elemental windows and buttons on the scroll bar are the original ones from Mac OS. From here on a series of bugs and lack of other functions is included, bugs with which the common PC user is now well used. The windows cannot be redirected except by pulling on them from the top right corner, the scroll is not automatic; first you have to click on the window and then attempt to scroll down, there are even times when you cannot use the scroll feature at all! Happily in the main window of the program this problem does not exist. There are visual effects and applications of Apple for the Mac OS, the slider effect of opening a RSS, resizing the options bar in function with the longitude of the sections and the showing of the desired text is in contrast with the luminosity of the rest of the page, and this is only one example of these. The so-called smoothing effect is another thing taken from the Mac OS, there are three levels when it comes to this feature: light, medium and strong. Personally, I find even the light level irritating to the eyes.

Speed: the main feature

Safari can praise itself for a very good speed in the showing of pages and other such things; it is superior to the three most important browsers in Windows: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. The loading of programs is also very fast when the computer is cold and at the reopening. The Web standards are not a problem for this system, maybe that is what Apple is talking about when it says that Safari is the best from the best, because in the other aspects will touch next, we’ll see that Safari is not that good.

Tabbed browsing…partially.

Browsing through the tabs is one of the most important features of today’s browsers. This function, invented by Opera, is present in Safari as well, but only on a elementary level. The support for the tabs rests on the opening of the links at the request of the external applications: messenger, email, etc. The CTRL button is used for opening links in new tabs and for the opening of these in the first windows or in the background. Besides this, support for the tabs in Safari can get in the best case 5 out of 10. One of the reasons for the functionality being reduced is the opening of the links in other windows. What is the role of tabbed browsing if new windows are opened? The principle at the base of this feature is opening of one window in which all the sites can be accessed.

What is RSS and How to Read RSS Feeds

RSS saves you the trouble of going over to websites regularly. It brings updated information straight to your desktop. All you have to do is subscribe to them and you will be intimated as and when there are updates.

Everyone loves luxury. Tools that make life simpler are always welcome. Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is one such tool that has caught on rapidly, simply because it is “really simple” to use like the name suggests.

What is RSS? RSS brings updated information straight to your desktop. All you have to do is subscribe to them and you will be intimated as and when there are updates. You can now keep yourself abreast of news, blogs, job listings, personals and classifieds with the least of efforts from your end.

Websites now are updated continually; sometimes, several times a day. RSS saves you the trouble of going over to websites regularly. Instead, whenever there is an update you are intimated almost instantly. Thus, this certainly is a “really simple”, hassle free process of conveying information.

Increasing traffic, gathering and distributing news are some of the common problems that webmasters face. RSS is a simple solution for all. It is a lightweight XML format for sharing headlines and other web content. Each RSS text file contains both static information about your site and dynamic information in the form of new content from time to time.

RSS is another language by itself. But it is the end product that one is looking for. You can conveniently ignore the code just like the source code behind a webpage.

How do you subscribe to an RSS feed?

Here are simple steps that you have to follow in order to subscribe to an RSS feed:
• Click the feed button of the desired webpage.
• Copy (right click and select copy) the URL from the address bar (http://…) of your browser, which should show a page full of XML code
• Now go to your newsreader, choose the category where you want this particular feed to be placed. Example: Sports, Entertainment, Academics etc.
• From the File menu, select New or New Channel. In most cases, the URL will get automatically pasted in the wizard, else, manually paste (right click and select paste) the link yourself.
• Then, follow the instructions provided. This will differ based on the newsreader chosen by you.

The reader will take care of the rest, once you have pasted the URL link. It will provide you with updates once the link has been fed in.

Customize options
When too many articles are accumulated through various feed subscriptions, the process of searching becomes difficult. For this, there is a Filter/Search bar. Type in keywords and the reader will throw up articles that contain your keywords. To go back to the full article list, click the drop down control for the filter bar and set the keyword to None.

You can also save an article by selecting “Copy to News Bin” option from the Edit menu. This can be accessed from the left hand panel. There are several RSS reader software products in the market. They have interfaces that look resemble e-mail programs. Some of them are free while others are available at a reasonable cost.

Aggie, Ampheta Desk, Awasu, Feed Demon, Feed Reader, Headline Viewer, News Gator, Newzcrawler, Radio UserLand, Syndirella, Wildgrape NewsDesk, Web-Based Aggregators, Bloglines, Google Reader, Gregarius, My Yahoo, News Is Free, Rocket RSS Reader (RocketNews) are some of the most common RSS readers. You can use these readers to subscribe to feeds.

Some of the readers have the ability to set a watch, that is, an automatic search through all your incoming feeds for a specific keyword. Whenever a feed has the keyword specified by you, it is put in the watch list so that you can read up on your most sought after articles.

Over a period of time, you will have more RSS feeds in your reader than you can possible keep track of. Simply delete the title to do away with a feed you’re no longer interested in. If you delete a feed permanently like this, you will not receive any updates or information from the particular publisher unless you re-subscribe to the feed.

There are several web directories of RSS software available online. So if you are looking at feeds related to specific topics, you can run a search to find dozens of links pertaining to what you are looking at.

All in all, RSS is a technology combined with convenience. This amazing combination ensures that you get all the information you want on a silver platter by the blink of the eye! It helps you keep up with information in today’s fast paced world. Get started with RSS now!

Want a powerful and simple-to-use RSS feed management software to increase the ’stickiness’ factor of your sites? Now you can add automated fresh (and targeted niche) content from blog feeds, news feeds, affiliate feeds, article feeds, and forum feeds!

Jai Hind- Proud to be an Indian

Friends, even though this is a computer blog, I would like to add something more on the eve of Republic Day,

Respect the National Flag:

The National Flag of India was adopted in its present form during an ad hoc meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947, a few days before India’s independence from the British on 15 August, 1947. It has served as the national flag of the Dominion of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950 and that of the Republic of India thereafter.

Indian law says that the flag must at all times be treated with “dignity, loyalty and respect”. The “Flag Code of India – 2002″, which superseded “The Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950″, governs the display and usage of the flag. Official regulation states that the flag must never touch the ground or water, be used as a tablecloth or draped in front of a platform, cover a statue, plaque, cornerstone etc.

Come January 26th and the whole country is riding on the waves of patriotism. And why not? Aren’t we patriotic? Every corner, every crossroad, every shop, and every car sports the TRICOLOUR- THE SYMBOL OF OUR SOVEREIGNTY. The spirit of a True Indian.

And what on 27 th? Gone is the republic day and gone with it is our patriotism, and like True Indian we unceremoniously dump the national flag to the dustbin that is if we are a responsible citizen, or in most of the cases it is thrown on the road, in the gutter, or left to be trampled upon by the lucky patriots. In keeping with true spirit of the Indian Culture we do not even hesitate to tear it after all its just the tricolour. The lucky few flags that are left untouched by the “True Indian” hang midway down the pole mourning the rape of the “symbol of free India”.

I request to all the people of India, please do not show our patriotism in a single day, keep it also for the remaining 364 days. Our national flag deserves a much better treatment than this. It needs to be respected all the year round, every day and every moment. If we don’t respect it who will ? Please don’t buy tricolour if you cannot handle it.

JAI HIND-

ROHIT.

MP3 Gain

Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song?
MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume.

MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.
Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding.

Try mp3gain now.
