Peregrine - One fast browser

Opera 10   or Peregrine's beta has been released recently and when i heard the news i thought i would give it a go. to my surprise the browsers look has changed a lot. Opera has been known for its fast speed and the beta version still has that charm. It has a new visual tab feature which shows a little snapshot or preview of what is going on in the tab. which can be turned on and turned off by just resizing the tab .below are some screen shots.




Even though this is the beta version i noticed that i didn't stumble on any errors or any crashes. :) which is a good thing. I should also mention that now you can put a background image in the speed dial page. And also the button's image / the button's look has changed and there is this  little icon on the left top corner which when you click opens a beautiful tool bar ( i love that feature, + i don't know if it had been there before or not ) . below is a screen shot.


Their is this new feature from which you can resize the search bar. Some of us might not need this feature like me but i am sure there are people who will like this feature also.  Their is also a slick in line In line spell-checker which corrects the mistakes you right while typing. 

The Opera Mail now can send HTML mails through it. If you guys don't know what Opera Mail is it is the feature which allows you to have a mailbox inside opera from which you can send emails.

These are some of the features i liked about Opera 10 and for me this is one of the best browsers i have used.So if you want to get it click here.

No Fantastico? No Problem! - Simple Scripts

A lot of people got used to the Fantastico automatic script intallers provided by the webhosts. But unfortunately some webhosts lack this amazing feature, and now this is not a problem because in this post i am going to tell you about an alternative to Fantastico!


So what is the alternative to Fantastico? Its called Simple Scripts. You dont have to install anything on your computer,webhost or anything! Just visit Simple Scripts and sign up for an account! Once you are signed up you can install any script from their script list. Below is a screenshot which shows the scripts available from Simple Scripts.

( Sorry if the image is a little too small you can visit this link to see it more clearly )

The scripts there are the latest versions so you dont need to worry about not getting the latest version of the scripts. It is also very fast and easy to use with its nice designed interface.

I personally dont use it since my webhost offers me a unique webscript installation feature that i am pretty happy about. But i used Simple Scripts before when i had another webhosting and from my experience i am telling you Simple Scripts is just the right web script installer and the best alternative to Fantastico.
Recently i heard the news that Microsoft was going to introduce a new search engine Kimo . As i am not much of a Microsoft fan i did not really think Kimo was going to be any good for me. Well as i predicted that they were going to change the name they did ;) They now call it Bing. And as i told you before i am not really a Microsoft fan but i am pretty impressed by this search engine after i watched their product tour. But it is just a video, i wont judge it by the video yet but i am eagerly waiting for the search engine to be released for the public to use.

Best Video - A New Twitter Worm?

A new worm is now spreading in twitter and it is now also clear that twitter team is now aware of this and they are trying to fix it. But how does this worm spread and how does it look like?? what should i do to keep as far away as i can to get away from this worm? below are answers to the questions.

1. This worm spreads when somebody clicks a video link that is from "http://juste.ru" + it is also know that this worm takes controll of you account when you click your account by grabbing your password.

2. This is how the worm looks like ;)

3. You should avoid these links and you should be perfectly fine.

As a twitter user i hope the twitter team fixes this worm as soon as possible or atleast before this worm hits me ;) and i would advice other twitter users not to click the best video links.
