It is also a standards compliant web browser. Here is a neat trick to surf the web sans the mouse - that is, using just your keyboard.Fire up Konqueror in Linux, FreeBSD or what ever OS you are running that has KDE installed. Konqueror usually opens in File browsing mode. Type in the address of the website you wish to view, in the Address bar - for instance http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com and press Enter key.Here is the interesting part ... Once the website loads itself, tap on the 'Ctrl' key once to activate the "Access Keys" and Konqueror will label each link in the web page with unique alphabetic characters. You can follow the link in the web browser by just tapping the corresponding character associated with the link.Tapping once more on the 'Ctrl' key will deactivate the "Access Keys".How is that for mouse free web browsing ? To get an idea of how it looks on screen, view the following screenshot...

Using Flash, a web developer is able to give his imagination a free reign and build gorgeous multimedia intensive albeit equally functional sites.But till date, building Flash based sites had a singular drawback. That being, the search engines had no way of indexing them unless the web developer also included text in his Flash site explaining what the site or rather the content on the site was all about. Some time back, Adobe released the Flash file format SWF as an open specification which encouraged third party developers to create applications which could display Flash files. Now Adobe has gone one step further and is working closely with Internet search engine companies namely Yahoo and Google to help them in indexing Flash files. This is a clear green light for all web developers to start creating sites which are heavy in Flash content. This also means web developers can reduce the size of their Flash sites by doing away with ordinary text.You should know that the latest version of Adobe Flash player is available for Linux platform as well which makes Flash a universal format to share and showcase content across the web.Read the official news from Adobe and also the announcement from Google.Read more!Posted byRavi2commentsLabels:adobe,flash player,news,searchGuiness World Record Certificate in your name - Firefox 3On June 17th 2008, Firefox decided to set the Guiness Book of World Record for the most downloaded software in 24 hours. Mozilla foundation urged its users the world over to update their browsers by downloading the latest version namely Firefox 3. And the response was so massive on the D-Day that, there was an outage at the Mozilla data center for several hours. Once the servers were back online, the downloading continued and Firefox set the world record well within the 24 hours.The record is 15,067,570 downloads (15 Million). Country wise, USA tops the list with a whooping 4 million + downloads. Surprisingly, sans the US, relatively small countries like Iran and France clocked more downloads than its larger counterparts like India and China.If you are one of the people who downloaded Firefox on June 17th, then congratulations !!; You are a part of the Guiness Book of World Records. And the people at Firefox are ever too grateful to forget your valuable contribution.So go ahead and download your own personalized Guiness Book of World Records Certificate (Ahem ...

What are the features of this new stable release of Wine you ask ? Well, one of the prerequisites of the version 1.0 release, I am told, was that it should be able to run Adobe Photoshop CS2 flawlessly in Linux. And that has been achieved. Check out if and how far your favorite Windows application works in Wine by visiting the Wine Application Database.You can download the binary packages or the source at the WineHQ website.Read more!Posted byRavi0commentsLabels:news,wineNext time you see a shooting star in the sky; Guess what it isA NASA engineer answers one of the age-old questions every kid has: What happens when you go to the bathroom in outer space?

It comes with unique features, many of which are not yet available on alternate web browsers out of the box.I have always found using Opera to be a pleasant experience. Some of the new features found in Opera are as follows :Opera Link : For the very first time, all your bookmarks, speed dial and notes taken in Opera web browser will follow you around where ever you go. You can even access them from your mobile phone. The catch being you have to be using an Opera web browser. Opera provides space on their server to store your bookmarks and other settings which makes this possible.Quick Find : Opera keeps track of not only the web addresses you visit but also words from pages you have visited. So if you do not remember the web address but remember a word on the web page, typing it in the address bar will let you zero in on the exact web page.Better fraud protection.A sharper skin.Opera also claims that -It’s faster, lighter and pushes us further out in front of other browsers, by blending the mobile and desktop worlds together in new and powerful ways.But let the end users be the people who decide that. Why not visit Opera and download the latest version namely 9.5 and take it for a spin ? For all you know, you might get hooked to yet another fabulous web browser.Read more!Posted byRavi1 commentsLabels:news,web browsersOlder PostsSubscribe to:Posts (Atom) var
