Now it is not a secret anymore that Firefox rules the Browser pie.
And Axiis have produced an awesome flash interactive pie chart of the browser share of Firefox, Chrome, IE 6/7 and all the other browsers from Jan 2002 onwards. You just need to move over your mouse to see the respective browser share from Jan 2002 to Aug 2009. Go to the link below and have a go.
Yes you read that right. Okay, if you can’t believe what I wrote, see it for yourself.
Well, it is not a full fledged desktop, but if you are looking for the basic functionalities of a desktop, you get pretty much everything out of the Web version in Schmedley [ visit the link here].
So, there is Weather, Search, RSS, Facebook, Friendfeed, Maps, Stocks, Amazon, Sticky Notes, Bookmarks, Twitter, YouTube and even E-Mail. Everything is configurable in the form of the snazzy widgets as you can see. All you need to do is Register with them. As the header shows, it is in Gamma phase, and I hope the first roll-out will be out soon.
The Movies tab show coming attractions and movie showtimes. The look of your homepage can be customised and the Mac dock at the bottom is very smooth.
Do let us know if you liked this one. Cheerio!
While many social networking Gurus and Blog aggregators do not get tired discussing about the Big Blogs, we at Techkeyla feel the need to appreciate the wave of change. And I know, that not only the top notch bloggers deserve a mention. How about the ones who are new to the field, but are still making their presence felt. Don’t we bloody deserve a nudge or two – Hell, we deserve to be called AWESOME. So here I am, making my list of the top 20 Newbie tech blogs who will be called the Awesome 20 – Emerging Force of Tech Bloggers. Beat that you elite lot. Entries are now open, and closes Christmas eve. And the winner will be announced on the 31st of Dec, 2009.
And just for a little motivation, Premium WordPress Themes are up for grabs worth 120$.
For the rules, hit the jump!!
So we do have our own daily visited websites. I can’t live without my daily dose of Techcrunch and Lifehacker. And then, there are the usual ones – Facebook, Twitter, GMail etc. Now, although browsers like Chrome, Opera and Firefox with addons do allow users to have a start up Fast-Dial page which has links to those highly visited links, there is still a big link missing in the amount of stuff we want. Of course, that void has been filled to some extent by the father of all start-up pages – iGoogle. iGoogle is highly customisable, with gadgets, widgets and feeds. You can add a lot of stuff to keep your iGoolge engaging, but again, adding too much stuff makes it cluttered and takes ages to load. And not to forget, you have Themes on iGoogle.
Enter a new alternative to iGoogle – 44tips.com, a website run by some awesome developers at picturesque Amsterdam [ I am imagining that they have an awesome view in their office 
] The first thing you notice about the UI [user interface] on 44tips is that the site design is simplistic, clutter-free and quite minimal – yet, pretty. The colours are basic dark grey and Orange with a twang. Both remind me of Firefox somehow, which means-it works for me. Let’s explore the usability and the features on this website, and if it is worth making it your homepage. Shall we?
