Blipper – Revolutionizing Reviewing
Whenever we want to see a movie, buy a music album, games or even apps, we check out the reviews first. And most of us have come across some bad reviewing or reviewing done by getting paid from the corporate giants who produced them and sometimes we end up in disappointment and end up spending money which we should not have wasted if not for the bad or incorrect review.
How about in some cases you want to add your own review? Blipper is a nice new revolutionary service which allows you to see the way people like you and me see a product and also give your opinion on that product/service.
Google Tests It’s Luck in Browsers – Chrome
Today Google announced their release of their very own browser called Chrome. Chrome is an open source project meant to drive the web forward. They will be releasing the beta tomorrow (which will be obviously posted here).
The new browser is a combination of Google?s ideas and codes with the combination of the Apple Safari WebKit and Mozilla Firefox. The new browser will be able to run web applications and load site faster than most of the web browsers out there (at least thats what Google says).
Each tab is run on a sandboxed environment so that they do not crash other open tabs (protection from rouge sites). And overall speed and responsiveness of the browser is improved and according to Google the JavaScript engine ?V8? used in this browser will power the web applications of the future.
Saying this, the Google team also says that work on Chrome is far from over and it will be a work in progress.

But now though there is a nice web based AJAX powered application called StripeGenerator, which generates beautiful super-customizable stripes with very few clicks. Even a person with non-Photoshop knowledge could use it.

Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 Released!
The award-winning Web browser is better than ever. Browse the Web with confidence. Firefox protects you from viruses, spyware and pop-ups. Enjoy improvements to performance, ease of use and privacy. It’s easy to import your favorites and settings and get started. The latest version delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired.

Users may navigate with keystrokes rather than mouse clicks, reducing the tabbing required to navigate documents such as spreadsheets.
