Facebook FaceLift

facebook


Bravo to FaceBook. I like its new design so much, their revamp is very much like a revamp.

Well, at the bottom of the page, there is something like a taskbar, whereby users' applications are at their finger tips. This is brilliant. I am kinda impressed by this taskbar, and I have ever thought to insert this task bar in the website which, i was previously working on. (FYI: The taskbar like is called Application Menu).Facebook users can bookmark applications, edit application settings, and go to their recently viewed and bookmarked applications.

facebook  application menu

In fact, this is not the first time I have seen such handy taskbar in any websites. If you have ever logged on to http://www.asp.net or http://www.iis.net, you could see that a task bar was on top of these pages.

Do enjoys with Facebook!

Google Search Appliance & Google Mini in Malaysia

Have you ever thought of owning a Google like search engine for your organization? I believe that most of the organizations are facing the ­problem of having to ­maintain and search large pools of data that is becoming increasingly difficult to track and record.So what Google now being your saviour is introducing 2 killing products, namely Google Search Appliance v5.0 and Google Mini!

Besides, search and search and search, these products also has enhanced security features that ensure users can only search for information that they are authorised to view.

Search Appliance v5.0 is priced from RM197,300(Might be steep for SME) and can search up to 500,000 documents while Google Mini pricing starts from RM20,900 and can search up to 50,000­documents. Sounds cool, doesn't it?!

The design of Google Search Appliance is brilliant, it looks like a huge cheese not only huge, but it looks yummy too. The server is by Dell but not by Google. Only search algorithm is by search giant, Google. Well, i would like to give a testimonial. I am using Google Desktop on my PC in office, i can assure you that, you can search every single files i wanted in less than a minute, even the file you are looking for is stored in don't know how many level of subfolders! Trust me(I am not Google employee though). The Google Desktop is something like Google Search Appliance and Google Mini, the only difference is, Google Desktop is only can search all the files within your desktop(Laptop is appliacable)



Good news for Malaysian! Google Search Appliance and Google Mini are now available in Malaysia! Personally, I am looking forward seeing Google set up an office in Malaysia, although this is almost impossible.......

Internet Explorer 8.0 One of the Features - Web Slices

Web slice, slice of your page.

What if everytime a new video is available and it will notify you automatically, without you having to log on to http://login.skyquestcom.com to check from time to time?

What if you are always kept posted by your Web Browser, when there is a new incentive available in your country?

How many times a day do you check for updates to e-mail, weather reports, sports scores, KL stock quotes, auction items(e.g.Ebay) email and so on? Until now this was a manual process, where you had to go to those sites to check for changes or new information.


By using Web Slices in Internet Explorer 8.0, you can keep up with frequently updated sites directly from the Favorites Bar without logging in to http:///www.ebay.com.my or http://login.skyquestcom.com anymore! Isn't it great?

If a Web Slice is available on a page, a green Web Slices icon(See below image) will appear in the upper-right hand corner of the browser. You can then easily subscribe and add them to the Favorites Bar or delete Web Slices that are no longer desired.




When new information becomes available, the Web Slice will become highlighted. When you click on the Web Slice in the Favorites Bar, it previews relevant information. Clicking on the preview takes you directly to the site for more information.





The concept behind is something like your Google Reader(RSS Reader).

So, developers! What are you waiting for!?
Check out this for more info on Web Slices Style Guide!

Still cannot get what Web Slices is? Check out below video, hope it helps.

So, if I already have Safari, IE, Opera and FireFox in my PC, why do i want to download this additional browser?

The reasons are simple:

It is faster, because Google Chrome uses Javascript V8.

Tab-browsing supported, but every tab is independent from each other, this means that you do not have to close your entire browser, just because of one of the tab has error occur.



Most importantly, it is open source. If you are Google Developer, please do not hesitate to download a copy right away here!
