first themes and now extentions. google chrome is really moving forward. Now it’s got its own site for extentions, extensions are only availabe for the versoin 4.0.233.11 or its updates which you can always find it here, and i should also mention that it could beat firefox in dealing with addons they can be installed , enabled , disabled all without the need to restart.

My favourite is youtube downloader from the youtube page.

ABK Freeware File Extension Changer .NET Solves All Your File Extension-Changing Troubles!

Posted by techyie 31 October, 2009 (1) Comment

Have you ever come across any situation where you wanted to change the file extension types of certain files or folders? I do, and I come across situations like this a lot of times.

For example, my friend once sent me a Word file of Microsoft Office 2007, on which I accessed it on a computer with Office 2003 installed (which could not open Office 2007 files). Since I wanted to do some editing of her work immediately, I was forced to change the file extension of the word file from .docx to .doc just to open the file. There are also other examples in my life, like changing an audio file from .mp4 to .mp3, a video file from .avi to .wmv and many more.

JumpTo – Best Context Menu Launcher

Posted by Joel 29 October, 2009 (5) Comments

There are many launchers, which save you time and make you work faster with keyboard shortcuts. Yes again I’m talking about launchers, since they are the heart of a power user’s computer experience most power users can not live without a launcher of some kind, may it be a mouse based or a keyboard based one.

My favorite launcher when using keyboard is FARR (Find And Run Robot). FARR is absolutely a pleasure to use and fun too and it saves me a ton of time going through the start menu. I really love FARR when it comes to keyboard launchers.

Other types of launcher I prefer to keyboard based ones are the ones which launch folders and applications using a context menu entry. This is very useful if you are using a mouse all the time. Previously I was using FolderGuide which was simply superb except for a minor drawback, it only adds your folders as links in the context menu it doesn’t support adding applications, files and links.

CSS Rounded Corners That Really Work in IE and Firefox

Posted by Joel 28 October, 2009 (1) Comment

For any web design rounded cornered rectangles add a touch of professionalism and beauty. Unfortunately most methods using either JavaScript or layered images do not work very well on all browsers as expected by the designer or the user.

Finally there is a nice method which works very well with IE7+ and Firefox 2+ perfectly, this is in fact by using CSS3 where 4 rectangles are layered one above the other to emulate a rounded corner and this method unlike others works perfectly with most browsers, although I haven’t tested it with IE6.

Let’s Get Started.

Now we will be adding four rectangles (or lines whatever you wish to call them) which overlap each other, when combined they give the effect of a rounded corner. Now I will give you a small sample which will explain you what I’m trying to say properly.

FileVerifier++ is a Win32 application for verifying the integrity of files. FileVerifier supports various algorithms by means of dynamically loadable hash libraries. It is a pure Win32 C++ application and doesn’t have any dependencies other than what comes with Windows. Permanent installation is not required and may be burned to a CD or used from a flash drive. File verifier is similar to HashTab, but it supports more algorithms and its bit more complete.

Chrome + Privacy = Iron

Posted by Joel 12 October, 2009 (1) Comment

iron-1

Ever since Google released Chrome, lots of people immediately fell in love with it because of its wonderful user friendly minimalistic interface. One main issue with chrome is that a lot of people hated the lack of privacy, almost everything is monitored and each chrome copy had a unique identifier key. And almost every website you enter is checked with Google servers for security (at least that’s what they claim).

All these Issues are a thing of the past with Iron, Iron is a browser based solely on the Chromium project( which is open source of course). Iron is developed by a German company called SRWare. SRWare has made some major modifications to Chrome code and built iron so that it remains completely private, and also Iron has a URL blocker built in therefore ad blocking in iron is built in. See the difference between Iron and Chrome here. Another major option is that in Iron you can completely edit the User Agent which will be useful for some people.
