The browser war between Google, Mozilla and Microsoft rages on, but if you’re confused by all this talk of rendering and javascript, help is at hand. Google’s taken the time to go back to basics and explain just exactly what a browser is with a new site and video.

The browser war between Google, Mozilla and Microsoft rages on, but if you’re confused by all this talk of rendering and javascript, help is at hand. Google’s taken the time to go back to basics and explain just exactly what a browser is with a new site and video.
If you think Chrome is just for cars, and Firefox is something you might find defecating in the garden, you’d do well to check out Google’s new site, whatbrowser.org. It’s a clean, easy to use site that explains the basics of web browsing for those not in the know. It covers the Jack and Jill stuff, such as how a browser differs from an OS and other software, and even tells you what one you’re running.
You can take a look at Google’s video here, and heading over to the site itself will let you see what your other browser options are: it auto-detects if you’re on Mac or PC, and will tailor your options accordingly.

Let’s just say you need photo editing software, you don’t have the money for photoshop, nor internet with a speed higher than 4 kb/s. Let’s also say that you strongly dislike GIMP, and want to try something different. Of course, you could always try the updated version of Microsoft Paint, or use Open Canvas. But, there’s that program called ‘Paint.net’ that’s stuck in your head. It’s a mere 1.6MB, and it promises to be a simplified, but powerful version of Photoshop.
Sound a bit dodgy? Well, it requires Microsofts .Net framework (3.0) for it to function. Because it uses the .net engine, it limits the amount of actual code required within the program. It has layers, layer settings… manipulations, custom brush tools, distortions, curves. Stuff you’d expect to be in any decent image editor. But of course, the advantage that Paint.net has over Photoshop, and perhaps GIMP, is that it features a code lab for making plugins. The fairly large community have already provided a torrent of plugins, providing functions that place it on par with Photoshop CS4 in some areas. The only issue with Paint.net at the moment, is the lack of tablet support currently. The developers have mentioned having touch screen support soon, which is a bonus.
If this sounds appealing, you can grab Paint.Net HERE

Google’s online video site YouTube now gets a billion hits a day, the site’s founder Chad Hurley said in a video posted on Friday.
Three years ago today (YouTube co-founder) Steve (Chen) and I stood in front of our offices and jokingly crowned ourselves the ‘burger kings’ of media,” read the post, which was titled Y,000,000,000uTube.
“We’d just made headlines by joining with Google in our shared goal of organising the world’s information (in our case video) and making it easily and quickly accessible to anyone, anywhere. “Today I’m proud to say that we have been serving well over a billion views a day on YouTube. This is great moment in our short history and we owe it all to you.” [click to continue…]

Noted astrophysicist Jayant Narlikar has urged that the moon be scanned for micro-organisms in its environment, especially in areas where traces of water have been found.
Speaking during a lecture on ‘Searching for micro-life in the earth’s atmosphere’ in Goa Sunday, Narlikar said that the discovery of water on the moon called for a fresh perspective on the issue of life on the moon.
“If we have found water on the moon, then we must look for signs of life there,” Narlikar, a Padma Vibhushan award winner, said. He added that there were traces of life even 41 km above the earth.
“Experiments by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and other scientific institutes in India have found micro-life in forms which are not found on the earth’s surface,” he said. [click to continue…]
