Yes. For the first time here on LifeSpy, I’m making a bold prediction. Google’s browser, Google Chrome has made so much buzz over the web and the blogosphere that some even though that it’d smother Firefox and give IE a stifling kick in the nuts. For a minute there, I thought so too. However, not [...]

For those of you (at least the Windows users) who have been living under a huge rock and still don’t know what Google Chrome is, it’s just Google’s own web browser. Go download and install it if you haven’t yet. And for those of you living under a smaller rock and don’t know what the [...]

The moment I heard about online magazine scan sharing site, Mygazines, the first thing that came to mind was copyright infringement. Magazine publishers have all the right to be pissed off. But hey, this is the Internet and it’s just filled with plagiarized content that it just offers a more convenient way of accessing “shared” [...]

As far as gadgets go, I prefer to segment mine so that I minimize getting redundant functions. I have my trusted lappie to work with everywhere I go. My mobile phone’s primary function is still for calls and SMS. I have my prosumer camera to take snapshots (I always considered mobile phone pics crummy). And [...]

Well you look at that. Many months after Google bought out Feedburner, they only got to fully implement AdSense for Feeds just now. They piloted it last May but it’s only now that the rest of the world can actually get to use it. And that took quite a while too, with the Feedburner Ad [...]

A must install when working on shared and public terminals (provided that you can install Firefox add-ons). Keyloggers often target web browsers since it’s that particular interface where a lot of user authentication happens. Well sure, some jealous husbands and wives install them to check whether their respective spouses are cheating on them but if [...]

So previously, we’ve seen that the Minority Report-ish interface was possible. Now how about web technologies that push the envelope. Adaptive Path has made available a video of their Aurora UI concept. It features how a conflict between two users is resolved through interactive browsing.
