There are several reasons why I use Opera more often than Firefox. Of course, the one very point of them is browsing time. I do a simple google search on ChemstudioWEB.COM with Firefox to give me result in 0.17 seconds whereas Opera resulted in 0.03 seconds and that comes to almost 6 times faster than Firefox. Besides, 9 new features added in Opera 9 are more beneficial. Click to learn more after jump.

“Everything is possible” is all I can say about today’s technology. If you have something on your mind that just came across, googling it and I assure you may find the same concept was already flip out over the web. A pretty simple layout website which mainly encouraging in dark color really doesn’t catch my eyes to stay for a minute more if I didn’t see the word ‘INVITE’.

InviteShare is running a great concept for some people who eagerly wanted to get invitation from other while begging so hard on it. Or some may have tons of invitation to send out but there’s no way for them to get off from their hands. Well, why not share out all the invitations at this ‘one-stop-invitation’ shop? Besides, they are currently award for inviting people as the more people you can invite, the higher priority you get for those invitation you wished for an age. As in result, there’s no such fast way for you to get invitation when you asked for it. You need to do something before you can get some. So, the majority concept of InviteShare is a place for you and people to share your invitation and it’s always good thing if you are willing to try out all 44 websites that they have listed out: (I’m on no.14, and way to go~)

You should really create a favicon to give your blog a great stand up. Creating a favicon with just a little time you spend and worth you more than that.

Firefox add-on is not just an enhancement plug-in tool anymore, in fact, I found The Retro Extension or Pacman Extension I should name it correctly. Of course, this is nothing to do with the classic pac-man 2D game but just another clone game. As a matter of fact, it does entertain me for a few minutes to finish eating all the ‘dot’ bun and recall my memory back from many years ago.
Is it strange that when there’s a pacman extension on Tools option?

Information Architects have released their Web Trend Map for 2007, a subway map of the 200 most successful websites on the web, ordered by category, proximity, success, popularity and perspective. In theory it demonstrates the relationship between various sites and ideas, with a strong focus on Web 2.0.

I’d always found these sorts of things clever, very impressive and inconceivable, at least for myself that it seems like ‘mission impossible’. In a geeky sort of way, inserting art knowledge, business, marketing, drawing some ‘abstract’ graphic but actually end up with technology show! How is that possible could be done in my life? But it’s not recommended that you try reading this with a hangover or whilst on certain prescription medications.

Another reason why we should stick with YouTube embedded videos until now. They had just released a new feature that actually allows users to customize and personalize your own embedded videos called “custom player”.

What’s in the custom player:

I’m not able to embed the player with the related videos to the right due to my content width consideration. If you wish to embed your player with that feature on, make sure the width of your content is 780px or wider. So you may customize YouTube player in a standard size or with the related videos which shown as the image below:

If you have a new laptop with Vista installed and want to install XP as well, as there are some programs that won’t run with Vista at the moment which you still need to run. I believe there are some people facing this kind of problem quite frequently. Well, it is possible to dual-boot, or even triple-boot, Vista and other Windows operating systems. But, note that you need to install in the oldest operating system first. Thus, you could theoretically install Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista in that order, and all would be well – obviously, each OS would need its own partition.

In this case, with Windows Vista already installed, you can either blow the installation away, install XP, leaving part of the hard disk as free space to be formatted and used by Vista when you install that, or you could try to install XP while Vista is already installed, but I don’t really recommend that since you probably won’t have two partitions.

If you do go ahead anyway, what you’ll discover is that when your system restarts you’ll have lost access to Vista. This is because Vista uses a different Boot Configuration Database (BCD) store. When you install XP, the setup program overwrites the Master Boot Record (MBR), the boot sector and the boot files.

HASTA LA VISTA – BABY!

Interestingly, you can actually recover from this. You need to restore the Vista MBR and transfer control to its boot code. To do that, take a look at this Microsoft Knowledge Base article and follow the steps outlined there. So you are flying solo now at Windows Vista no longer start.

Dated on 18th July 2007, folks at Alexa had released a statusbar that accompanies you as you surf, providing useful information about the sites you visit without interrupting your Web browsing.

On top of that, Alexa’s famous patented Related Links feature can help you find the similar sites on your browser. The free Firefox plug-in is free for download and no spyware found at all. Clean and easy to use.
