*UFO spotted over theme park in Virginia*
*i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn//video/us/2009/06/16/dnt.va.ufo.sighting.wavy.384x216.jpg

Apparently, Ms Smith, the one who took the video says that she believes what she saw and also, there is some ring of evidence that this is true.

Opera – Still The Speed King​

You must have come across one of the many browser comparisons which rely on benchmarks like Dromaeo, Sunspider, V8 and Peacekeeper. The main problems with these synthetic tests are that they simply measure the JavaScript rendering speeds. While rendering JavaScript is one of the more time consuming aspects of page rendering, js rendering speed tells only a part of the story. There are various other aspects like HTML/CSS rendering that must be taken into account in order to truly judge a browsers rendering speed.
Frustrated with artificial and misleading tests, a blogger took it upon himself to measure the real rendering speed of browsers. In order to achieve this he utilised offline copies of popular websites including Baidu.com, Blogger.com, Facebook.com, Google.com, Havenworks.com, Live.com, Myspace.com/tom, Reddit.com and Wikipedia.org. The average time taken to render each of these pages by all popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome) was noted. And here are the results:
Opera - 204
Safari - 205.2
Chrome - 205.5
Firefox - 416
Internet Explorer - 556.8

Ten Add-ons That Will Make Songbird Rock​

I started using Songbird when I began using Linux (again). I wanted something with a powerful library and an intuitive user-interface. Amarok just didn’t feel right on GNOME and although Exaile was pretty brilliant I still felt something was missing. That was till I tried Songbird. I had last tried it on windows a long time back (when it was initially released). But Songbird had improved vastly since then. Songbird isn’t perfect but combined with the awesome add-ons – it soon became the media powerhouse that I was looking for. In fact now Songbird is my default media player even on Windows (replacing Windows Media Player).
Songbird is a great media player in itself and the latest release adds a few much needed (equaliser) and much requested (library management) features. However, what makes Songbird really stand out from the crowd are its add-ons and web-integration. Songbird makes use of the Gecko (Firefox) engine to allow tabbed web browsing right inside the player. Without much ado here are ten add-ons you must install if you are a Songbird user.

Cristiano Ronaldo claims he is worth 80 Million Pounds. My take on this -

Ronaldo - I'm Worth It!

Yes, the greaseball is at it again. Not content with proclaiming himself as the 3 best players in the world, the epitome of modesty has claimed that he is worth the eye-watering sum of 80 Million Pounds....

Google OS is Here and It’s Called Chrome
*www.pallab.net/uploads/images/misc/chrome_title.jpg

People have been speculating about a Google Operating System ever since Google released Gmail. And the rumours about Google OS grew even stronger after they announced Android in late 2007. However, all these speculations about Google’s own operating system were just that – speculation. Today Google changed all that. Earlier today they dropped a bomb through an innocuous looking announcement on their official blog.
Google’s new operating system is going to be called Chrome. It will be an open source product that Google is said to be building from scratch based on the Linux kernel. Like all Google products the focus is going to be on simplicity, elegance and utility. Speed and security are expected to be two hallmarks of the Operating System.

Words’ Worth PART 1: “Reinvention” – As I Lay Dying

This is the first entry in the series which I announced yesterday. I chose the name Words’ Worth for this since it is derived from the name of one of the greatest poets of all time – William Wordsworth. Oh, and also because here I’m trying to highlight the ‘worth’ of some ‘words’. Daft as it seems, it’s the best I could come up with after a tiring day....

Tweeting From The Web – Two Worthy Alternatives​

*www.pallab.net/uploads/images/theweb/twitter_web.jpg

A surprisingly large number of users still use Twitter’s web interface for tweeting. A good majority of them are basic users who possibly don’t need advanced features offered by the desktop clients. However, there are times when even power users are forced to use the web-client. For example, when tweeting from office or cyber cafe. Here are two new web-based alternatives to Twitter.com which were released earlier this week. They offer features comparable to desktop clients right inside your browser.

Save Bandwidth with Presto

Fedora 11 bought an excellent feature to its package manager YUM. If you have been religiously following the discussions on mailing list then you might know it. If you are clueless then let me tell you. It is known as ‘Presto’. Presto is designed to save bandwidth incurred when the user upgrades the current software to a new release (version). Presto relies on Delta RPM’s which are smaller in size than regular RPM’s
