All I can say is Wow. How nifty can this be. An instantaneous translation service just like having a personal dictionary available with you. And they made it possible by letting you chat with a bot. What’s even more interesting is that this service within GoogleTalk has a lot more language pairs than Google Translate. [...]
Months ago, we posted a neat way of getting to log-in to two different Gmail accounts at once using a IE Tab workaround. The principle behind this is to utilize the two browsers to use different cookie information that allows you to have two separate sessions with a site.
Now here’s a new update on the [...]
One thing that bugs me when searching for those supposedly free information is when sites ask you to register. Don’t get me wrong, I do register for sites that I frequent but it is a tedious process when all you need is to view one piece of information or download one pesky device driver. While [...]
Let’s all sing that Avenue Q song, “The Internet is for P*rn.” (Self-censorship sucks. But I have to. Lest we incur Google’s wrath once again.)
Now, I’m sure that for some of you out there, you just can’t resist surfing for the “good stuff.” But if you’re using the family computer, then you must be [...]

I’m getting pretty bored waiting for Firefox 3, let’s just revisit a few tip and tricks that you can do with Firefox as it is now. While I have been a staunch advocate of keyboard ninjitsu with all the shortcuts, I have to admit that there are instances that I do some mousings too. Here [...]

Oh man. I just can’t wait for Firefox 3. But before we get into another whole shebang, let me just squeeze in some of my latest finds that might help you out with Firefox.
While you can expand your arsenal of search engines by installing more search plug-ins, why not just create your own search plug-ins [...]

Hehe. Now here’s one site that helps you justify the time you spend slacking off. Give that lame “My dog ate my homework” a Web 2.0 twist with File Destructor 2.0.
While you can always claim that Windows chewed your homework as an excuse for a night with the boys, your girl, or with your Nintendo [...]
If there’s one thing that this site aims to do is to help people and not harm you guys. We just love our readers too much.
And this I don’t get. Checking our daily stats showed a staggering 85% drop in readership for today. Since we know that we place quite well in Google search rankings [...]
Tired of nosy people looking over your shoulder to see what the heck you’re surfing. Well, if you only have Google or some other productive site on your browser, then no problem. Still, you might want to get a bit of privacy and the page title immediately gives you away.
Page Title Eraser is a [...]
Might take a while before it shows up for all users but looking at the upper-right hand portion of my GMail screen is one of those plugs in red bold letters. This time, it’s “New! Group chat“. Clicking on the link revealed that Google just packed the darned chat with more goodies.
The group chat feature [...]
Uh… Okay. The Wall Street Journal reports that Google’s storage service is just around the corner.
Google is preparing a service that would let users store on its computers essentially all of the files they might keep on their personal-computer hard drives — such as word-processing documents, digital music, video clips and images, say people familiar [...]
One thing I do have to concede to with regard to my favorite browser is a memory hog. Limiting Firefox’s RAM usage is one of the stopgap measures that you can do but because of some latent problems, it will still inevitable leak memory. Firefox 3 promises to leak less memory but Firefox engineers can’t [...]
A great source of overview information and a great past time to edit. But how about getting to read articles while not connected to the Internet? My style is to print pages as PDF and it works for me. But what if you don’t have a PDF printer? Here’s another way.
Thank goodness for the powerful [...]
Firefox brought us perhaps the real best thing since sliced bread – tabbed browsing. Now why the heck should you hide the precious thing? I’d have to admit that I used to think that I’d rather not browse the web at all if I have to go back to the days of IE6 and the [...]
And each day we get closer to the new Firefox and what we have now is Beta 1 of Firefox 3. As with any Beta, expect bugs and what not. But the beauty about fiddling around with the Beta is that you get the feel of things to come – pretty handy if you’re a [...]
