If you are on a wide-screen monitor (which I think is true for most users these days as almost all laptops as well as computer-screens are shipping with wide-screen aspect ratio, I am sure you noticed the these white space borders on left and right sides when viewing a webpage in any web browser. ON wide-screen monitors this space goes to a waste unless you use two or more website windows open side-by-side or alternatively you zoom in to the webpage to get rid of these side white-borders.        ...

Normally, in Windows if you want to uninstall a program that you installed earlier, the only way to do is to launch the uninstall program and then select the desired program that you want to uninstall. There are of course some 3rd party applications available that includes some advanced options such as completely wiping the application data from registry, file system etc. in addition to the usual execution of uninstallation routine for the desired application (shareware Uninstall Tool comes to mind). ...

Speed Dial is one of the many useful features included in the Google Chrome apart from it’s lightening fast startup and page rendering speed. However, I do feel that it is not as customizable as Firefox to a users preferences. In particular, many of the Google Chrome features (or of any other web browser) can be included in Firefox using 3rd party Firefox extensions. Take an example of the Chrome’s speed dial feature for today, it is one of the most touted and of course useful features of that ...

For many users out there a good PDF reader installed on their system is absolutely essential mainly because PDF is the major format for exchanging documents these days . There are many free PDF readers available for Microsoft Windows. In the past, we have advocated use of Adobe Reader Lite version which cuts down the fat from THE most well known pdf reader/viewer available.

After a few days delay (from the planned release schedule) finally Mozilla has released the first official beta of the Firefox 5.0. As we mentioned some time ago that based on their experiences with the Firefox 4 delays, Mozilla is shifting to a more rapid release cycle with the Firefox 5, 6 and future versions. Idea is to include only some incremental/small improvements in each new version but bring it to the market much faster. This is somewhat similar to the Google Chrome release cycle. Based ...

Java Script is an essential part of any modern web browser these days. In fact, many complex and media rich interactive websites depend upon java script for the proper functionality. On the other hand this is java script that is a potential source for bringing infections to your system through some rogue scripts that can be injected by nasty malware based websites on the web out there. What a user most probably want in the web browser is a quick mechanism to enable/disable it based on the needs. ...

It is just a few days ago that Angry Birds was released for the Google Chrome and there it is. A clever guy at the WesBos has managed to unlock all the levels in the Angry Birds Chrome HTML 5 based version! This also includes the levels that are exclusive to the Google Chrome. Hack is actually based on the fact that Angry Birds for Google Chrome uses HTML 5 based local storage to keep track of the player progress (score and stars). So, a little JavaScript trickery can help to manipulate this storage ...

We are now in year 2011, things have evolved so fast particularly from the software technology perspective. More specifically, if we talk about the graphical interfaces these days many desktop applications support tabs. All the modern browsers these days support some kind of tab management as well. Not to mention many other desktop as well as web applications. One thing I can’t understand for some reason is that why Microsoft is so hesitant to add the tabs management functionality to the Windows ...

This happens to be a very common scenario that you initiate a big download on your Windows machine such as big video file, a large Linux ISO file or maybe you are downloading some big torrent file. You don’t want to sit and stare at the screen for a long time just to see the download progress. So, you go away, and come back after some time (i.e. few hours) only to learn that Windows has gone to sleep mode halting any download session you initiated earlier! This can get very annoying. I know that ...
