Google suggest

Google Suggest is a Google Labs product which guesses what you’re typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google’s “Did you mean?” feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time. It is a very useful service by Google through which you can search for particular keywords and other keywords which are similar to your search term.

"Blank CDs are on their way out as a day to day storage medium, and by the looks of things they don't make for a very comfortable chair either. The inexplicably titled "Panda Chair" was designed by Belen Hermosa using hundreds of disks lined in rows. It may be uncomfortable, but I suppose lying on a bed of flash drives wouldn't be so hot either"

Yahoo Mash

After Facebook and Orkut now it is Yahoo coming up with its own social networking site.
Its called Yahoo Mash


Right now access is only on invitation basis.It is kind of like a Wiki.So even your friends can edit your profile (you can turn this feature off too).

I feel it is better than orkut as it allows custom styling (you can make your profile look the way you want) and like Myspace it allows widgets too.And just like the orkut scrapbook mash has something called guestbook.

On the whole its better than orkut.

The new generation IPod

Here are some cool pics of the new generation IPod.It is smaller than than the usual IPod but it looks like a fatty.

Live messenger introductary video

Microsoft released the introductory video Windows Live messenger.The interface is way ahead compared to other IM clients.



This is a great way of marketing.Now you can know it before tying it out yourself.It is also much better that boring instruction manuals.

The GPhone is coming

Here's a piece about Google's own to-be-released Gphone

I dont feel like putting the whole thing here as its just concept and the real thing can be way different but reading it I feel that it may come pretty close.


Anyway I dont think Gphone can stand upto Iphone given Apple's lead over OS design and they are masters of making great interfaces.But I think it will be much lower priced and it'll have 3g capabilities which will be helpful.

Enjoy paysites for free

Ever wondered why Google returned search results that lead to sites that require a registration? How did Google index the site without a registration? Many sites want their site indexed in Google to receive more hits, so they allow Googlebots in. Because of this reason we can take advantage of this. All we have to do is disguise ourself as a Googlebot and many sites will let us in without registration.

To do this we have to change the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and what version you are using. For example if you go to this site it will tell you what browser you are using, and it finds this info out by the user agent.

Changing the user agent is easy, to do this in Opera you have to uses these settings:

User Agent: Googlebot/2.1 Compatible: http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html

Firefox users can use this extension and import this file (right click and save) that has a huge list of user agent settings including Googlebot/2.1 and many other spiders/bots.

Internet Explorer users you will need to change the registry entries, to do this open notepad and copy this into it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings5.0User Agent] @="Googlebot/2.1" "Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"

Then save it as ua.reg and double click on it.

To revert the changes back, you will need to do the same but this time copy this in:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings5.0User Agent] @="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

Save as oua.reg and double click.

To see if it has worked go here and your browser should now be Googlebot v2.1

Enjoy!

Google complaints against MS Vista

Google lodged a complaint against windows Vista saying it is impossible to turn off Vista's built in search and that it is affecting the performance of other desktop search programs like Google Desktop Search.

The Google spokespersion says

The search boxes built throughout Vista are hard-wired to Microsoft's own desktop search product, with no way for users to choose an alternate provider

It was tricky on the part of MS but I dont think it will affect Google much and I dont understand what's the whole fuzz about something so small.

Windows of the future

Now that Microsoft has released its latest Windows i.e Vista,It will be releasing the next windows Windows Vienna on 2009

It was actually announced on Feb 2000 but just like Vista it faced a lot of delays.

The next in line is codenamed Blackcomb named after the world's #1 rated ski-resort in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.

It is considered to be a revolutionary release i.e having innovative new features never before seen features unlike other releases which were evolutionary in their way i.e standing on the shoulders of previous versions

Vienna promises us to bring features never before seen like GroupBar that will replace the Taskbar and Pie-Menu type circular Interface.

Hello World

Many people love to code.They feel honoured when called a code geek and they have wallpapers with lots and lots of code.

One programmer like this from Germany created the world's largest hello world code in a crop circle.And he did a good job too.

The guy decided to show the words “Hello, World” in the form of a Semacode, in a Crop field, so that they are visible in aerial photos. Semacode is basically a visual code or a bar code that can be interpreted using machine language

Church of google

Do you think Google is god?Well there is a church for the worship of god Google at The church of Google.org

They have their own proofs and commandments of Google.

From Matt MacPherson’s TheChurchOfGoogle.org:


We at The Church Of Google believe a convincing argument can be made stating that the search engine Google is the closest mankind has ever come to experiencing an actual Deity. It is the ultimate bridge between people and information.

The site also contains “proof,” as well as the “10 Commandments of Google.”

See some proofs:

» PROOF #1

Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today.

» PROOF #2

Google is everywhere at once (Omnipresent). Google is virtually everywhere on earth at the same time. Billions of indexed WebPages hosted from every corner of the earth. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi networks, one will eventually be able to access Google from anywhere on earth, truly making Her an omnipresent entity.

» PROOF #3

Google answers prayers. One can pray to Google by doing a search for whatever question or problem is plaguing them.


» PROOF #4

Google is potentially immortal. She cannot be considered a physical being such as ourselves. Her Algorithms are spread out across many servers; if any of which were taken down or damaged, another would undoubtedly take its place. Google can theoretically last forever.

» PROOF #5

Google is infinite. The Internet can theoretically grow forever, and Google will forever index its infinite growth.

» PROOF #6

Google remembers all. Google caches WebPages regularly and stores them on its massive servers.

The first commandment is:

Thou shalt have no other Search Engine before me, neither Yahoo nor Lycos, AltaVista nor Metacrawler. Thou shalt worship only me, and come to Google only for answers.


And there's also a Google bible to complete the faith.

After all,In the technological age Google can be a god.

Removing Blogger nav-bar

You might have noticed that there's no navigation bar for my blog.(Plz tell me if it is there so I can update)

It can be easily removed.To do it,log into your blog account and goto templates>Edit html.

In the Edit template box add the following code under the <head> tag.

<style type="text/css">
#b-navbar{
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
}
</style>


It reduces the height of the bar to 0 pixels effectively removing the navigation bar.

And about the Terms and Conditions of blogger,it is not explicitly said if it is allowed or not.So as far as I feel,It is ok to remove the nav bar.
