+ Scam Alert By CJ 26 January 2009 at 9:05 pm and have 2 Comments

No SPAM
Stay out of this! Today came in my highly assaulted email account this… mail notification.

You know what bothers me? Is that a twisted P.O.S. tries to make advantage of this bloody economical crisis by sending mass emails in which is advertised a “Vacant Post“. I don’t understand why some prick out there tries to catch some fishes when even a 10 years old child could spot the net from a mile away…

Here’s the bloody spam e-mail:

+ YouTube enhanced By CJ 16 January 2009 at 12:03 pm and have No Comments

Better said is: how to have more control over YouTube videos.
Before we proceed you should know that I use this tweak in Mozilla Firefox with Grease Monkey add-on installed.

Even though YouTube already introduce the HD feature, you might ask how can you enhance YouTube even more?
- Go to userscripts and download YousableTubeFix.
NOTE: Do this after you’ve installed Grease Monkey on your Firefox web browser.

This tweak will improve, also make available some features for YouTube videos.
First, it will give you multiple options to change the video resolution (1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x, fill, full, max, fullscreen).
Second, possibility to change the video format (Low Quality, FLV Quality, HD).
Third, lots of other useful options.

Here’s a sample: [Click on the image to enlarge]

+ What comes after the Terrabyte? By CJ 30 November 2008 at 6:57 pm and have No Comments

I always wondered what comes after the mighty Terrabyte. In this world of evolution I guess that this information might turn very useful.

8 bits = 1 Byte

What comes after the Byte ?
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte

What comes after the kilobyte ?
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte

What comes after the Megabyte ?
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte

What comes after the Gigabytes ?
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte

What comes after the Terabytes?
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte

What comes after the Petabytes ?
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte

What comes after the Exabyte ?
1024 Exabyte = 1 zettabyte

What comes after the zettabyte ?
1024 zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte

+ One of the best firefox addons By CJ 13 November 2008 at 1:57 pm and have 1 Comment

Mozilla Labs: Ubiquity

Mozilla’s Ubiquity.

I wanted to start this post by asking how many of you do open a new web browser window or tab, go to Google to start your research when you’re looking for a movie, map, restaurant, club etc…

Or when you want to translate a text, you have to open a new window/tab, go to Google Translate or an online/offline dictionary, then go back to the web page which contains the text, copy that text, again go to Google translate page that you’ve just opened or dictionary and paste it down to translate the text.

But since I know that you and me did just that for a thousand times, I thought that is time to introduce a revolution in web browsing user’s experience - Ubiquity. This is not as big as AURORA, but it’s a must-have addon for Firefox.

+ follow up… to our future By CJ 06 November 2008 at 4:17 pm and have No Comments

I need to share this with you.

In my previous post I talked about computer generated characters (persons) and how could we use that in a clever, also profitable way.

Now I’m talking about the next level in web surfing users’ experience. The project is called AURORA and it redefines the web browsing/communication/sharing experience. I could talk for ages here in this post and I couldn’t reach the amount of information which is shown in the videos below.

Aurora is a concept video exploring one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept series.

So.. lets see how our future would be like.
