Apple iPhone timeline

8 Jul 2008 In: Apple and Mac, Gadgets

All the iPhone madness started at MacWorld 07 where Steve Jobs announced that Apple will soon be releasing a touchscreen phone called the iPhone. But did you know that one of the iPhone domain names owned by Apple, the iPhone.org was registered by Apple in the last century? Yes, it was way back in 1999!

Other than iPhone.org, other iPhone related domain names owned by Apple include iPhone.com and iPhone.net, both redirect to http://www.apple.com/iphone.

Now, of course there has been numerous interesting iPhone developments since 1999. But worry not, iPhone Gold has come up with a cool timeline of these developments starting from that first 1999 event up until the recent 3G iPhone release.

Firefox 3 quick review

4 Jul 2008 In: Mozilla

On June 17th, something wonderful happened. Firefox 3 was finally released to the general masses at 1pm EST. Once the download link was available, I immediately clicked the download button faster than a cheetah pouncing on its prey. After almost a month trying the browser out, I decided to write what I like and hate about Firefox 3. So here it is…

Firefox 3

New Look

The moment I fired up Firefox 3, I immediately think it looks similar to Internet Explorer 7. For one thing, Firefox 3 tabs looks identical to the tabs from Internet Explorer 7. However, I really like the new bookmarks menu. When you open the add bookmark menu, it’s displayed in a small box which doesn’t take up a lot of space. I found this great because the bookmarks menu in Firefox 2 took up the whole screen just to add a simple bookmark. Also, in Firefox 2, some of the folders in my bookmark menu weren’t displayed.

If you’ve been surfing the web for a few hours, you’ve most likely heard of “blogs” or weblogs. But, what are blogs?

Blogger

A blog is a diary or journal on the Internet where the writer or more known as the “blogger” will write his/her views on a wide variety of subjects such as politics, news, pop culture, computers, food and drinks, and even observations on the world or simply provide links to useful websites. These mostly personal journals on the Internet have taken the web by storm. They are usually frequently updated and written in a personal tone. Different bloggers adopt different themes, sort of like a newspaper columnist but with no specialized training.

If the above quick explanation is still too difficult to digest, what about a very plain English explanation of what are blogs in video format?
