Firefox 3.1's Coolest & Most Useful Feature That Makes Browsing + Organizing + Discovering The Web Faster, Simpler, Better ...


I tried out Firefox 3.1 Beta today, and these are some key features that I found truly useful, powerful, fascinating and important.

Firefox 3.1 really sets browsing + organizing + discovering the web to the new level!

SUPERB ABILITY TO TEAR-DOWN AND ORGANIZE TABS

- The ability to tear the tab off is super cool. Now I can browse and open as many tab as I want. Yet when I want to tear particular tab into its own window, I could do so. And if I want to organize these tabs together into one window again, I could do so very quickly, conveniently and intuitively as well.
- With this feature, I think I could organize my discovered web content better. And once I am happy with the layout and arrangement of it, I could save the entire tab structure into my bookmark. 

This is truly useful and powerful feature that make browsing, organizing and discovering/rediscovering the web simpler, faster, better! 

Truly awesome!

COOL FACILITY TO REMEMBER & REDISCOVER SITES

- The ability to remember and rediscover sites that we have visited by simply typing keywords in the location bar is awesome. In 3.1 it even become more awesome, as now we have the "+" characters to narrow down the search based on tags even more!

BLAZING SPEED IMPROVEMENT

- Although the speed improvement is not yet as blazingly fast as Chrome, there is significant improvement on the rendering speed of the browser. Now javascript intensive applications runs faster.

ANYTIME VIDEO

- The ability to view videos without having to download the plug-ins is pretty awesome! As more and more content on the web is available in video format, this feature makes it handy and easy to view those content, without having to be hasseled by the plug-in installation and setup process whatsoever. 
- The web (video) content now just becoming viewable anytime anywhere

PRIVATE BROWSING CAPABILITY

- When you enter your credit card numbers and stuff on the web, you don't want trace of that transactions to be accidentally left behind, in such circumstances, private browsing capability would become important, powerful and handy.

SUPERB EXTENSIBILITY

- There are many useful and powerful firefox extensions that I found truly useful and powerful. This has been firefox's core strength since day 1, and the various genuine innovation that people provide is truly superb!
- With 3.1, the great tradition continues!

These are the key things that I really love about Firefox 3.1 so far. If you would like to experience and know more, you can download the Firefox 3.1 beta browser here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html, or discover and take a look for yourself here: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.1b2/whatsnew/.>

Have a great joyful experience in browsing + organizing + discovering the web!

Why ODF (Open Document Format) Is Important ??

The Romulans attack the Federation for they can’t read the Peace Treaty sent to them in Word 2307 format… they only have Word 2303. A hilarious cartoon by Geek and Poke. Joke? Perhaps … or not.
 
How many files, documents and paper that you composed during your university days (or a couple of years ago), which now -- suprisingly -- become unreadable?
How many files, documents and paper that you compose today (which you already keep, backup, copy, store very very carefully these days) yet -- unexpectedly -- would/might/may become unreadable soon (or later into the future) ??
 
This is exactly the reason why open document format (ODF) is important. ODF ensure content can be read, no matter when, where and what type of tool you use to create it. It ensure content can be read no matter what type of tool you use to read it -- today, and into the future.
In that retrospect, that's where OpenOffice becomes relevant and important. It ensures ownership of the content (and its format) belongs back to the user, and not being 'proprietarily trapped' inside the silos of particular companies, nor company.
 
OpenOffice fully embrace ODF concept since day 1. Microsoft Office until today is not. People need to make the right strategic choices in regards with such. It's people that shall be the owner of their digital content, at all time. Never companies, nor company, after all!
 
It's content -- not tools -- that is really important, and truly matters.

Social Cause Continue To Exist Because Society Wants It To Persist

   
Click here to download:
Social_Cause_Continue_To_Exist.zip (50 KB)

In the past, most social causes lives-in because of the vision and idealism of its founder. These people put their effort, faith, believe, initiatives and even their own money to make the idea exist and persist.

As these causes matures, they seem to have tendency to keep on living (and expanding) because -- this time -- the global society funds it. Global society decides these open initiatives contributes something useful and powerful to society as a whole, hence they together act and continue fund it.

This is the latest fascinating trend in the development of social causes (and open causes) around the Globe! Something that is fascinating enough to see how it would evolve into its final format.

Yes We Carve -- The Barack O' Lantern!



Never been in history that a campaign is this momentous, inspiring, energetic, emotional and strong. People self-organizingly stand up for what they believe is a hope for a great change, a movement, a chance to contribute a change for a great future. The hope spreads not just in America, but around the globe. Win or loose, Barack Obama probably already winning in sparking the light of hope that now resides in the heart of the people.  -arv

How MySpace vs Friendster vs Facebook Mapped Out Around The Globe?

This is how the distribution of usage of social networking sites looks like in February 2008:



This is how it looks like 8 months later, in October 2008:




Seems Facebook eats out some of the smaller player segments, as well as capturing some of the MySpace segments.

Office Of The Future

With computer in our hand, handphone and internet connectivity that is available everywhere around the globe, the concept of office as a place where we work has changed. Instead of coming to the office to do our work, now we can just plug-in from everywhere, and instantly we are "at work". 

Anytime, anywhere, whenever you're connected, you're at the office already.

Could this be the look of office of the future?; where everybody just connecting from everywhere, and once they're connected, the exact same place where they got connected becomes their office right away? Take this view at Hongkong Airport for example. Could this be the "early look" of people's "office" of the future?
