Apple has finally shipped Safari 6 with the the new  Mountain Lion , but has silently removed Safari for Windows and users of previous versions of Mac OS will get limited new features of the new browser, the reason behind this is that in order to take full advantage of new web browser, you'll need to be latest OS. As announced back in June, Safari 6 on Mountain Lion incorporates some ideas taken from Google Chrome. One big Mountain-Lion-only addition is a feature called iCloud Tabs, which lets Apple users with iCloud sync their tabs across Macs and iPhones, iPads, and iPods running iOS 6. Another cool feature is “Tab View,” which makes it easy to quickly look through all your open tabs. The new browser also includes built-in sharing to Facebook and Twitter.  While most of Safari 6′s new features are for Mountain Lion users only, users on Lion, can still take advantage of the new omnibar that combines the address bar and unified search made famous by Google Chrome, Do No...

If you've been using Firefox for a while, you might see a lot happening in the background that can slow your browser down. It's not dangerous or even necessarily wrong, but you might notice that Firefox is a little more sluggish than it used to be. Over time, you acquire plugins that you may or may not have willingly downloaded, toolbars you don’t remember installing and more. These can slow down your browsing, cause annoying crashes and just make a big old mess. Who has time to troubleshoot these things? It’s tedious, sometimes frustrating and often doesn’t fix the problem. Firefox has a solution. It’s like hitting the reset button. Actually, it is a reset button. Go to your Firefox menu bar and select Help > Troubleshooting information. Click the “Reset Firefox” Button, confirm your action with the slide-down prompt and then click “Done” when Firefox lets you know it’s reset. How cool is that? When you reset Firefox, you don’t have to start from scratch. Here’s what you...

As, many of the regular readers of this blog might know, I am not a very at all happy with what Microsoft have turned Windows 8 into. I am still firm with my opinion that Windows 8 could have been a refined version of Windows 7 with many performance improvements, new Ribbon UI in Explorer, improved Task Manager, decreased boot-up and shutdown times etc.., but Microsoft decided to shoot them in the foot by stitching the ugly looking Metro Garbage into it and replace the beautiful Aero Glass with classic white color scheme.  One of the biggest complain I hear from Windows 8 users is, about how ugly Metro UI looks and is almost unusable with Windows 8. I've been running the Windows 8 Release Preview for quite some time and although I'm okay with no  Start Orb visible but I hate how I get to see   Metro see the new ugly interface by default every time I boot and  I have no desire to see a full-screen Start Menu when I log into my PC.   Unlike ...

The VideoLAN Project has finally published a VLC for Android to the Google Play Store . The player right now in beta brings most of the famed features of VLC to Android in a native UI in the Android 4.0 Holo style. It is a big news for movie buffs using Android (like me) which means, no more headache of converting a movie to a supported codec before it can play on the phone. It p lays all files, in all formats, like the classic VLC on Windows. The beta published to the Google Play Store today is only compatible with ARM systems that use the ARMv7 architecture set and support the NEON instruction set. That means that there are several devices — mostly those released before Google/HTC Nexus One in 2010 — that cannot run the current beta. The major exception here is the Nvidia Tegra platform. Nvidia’s Tegra 2 lacks NEON instruction set as a result cannot run VLC currently. The NEON instruction set is  general-purpose SIMD engine efficiently processes current and future mu...

When Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 8 won't be availiable to any of the current generation phones, it clearly meant was "We accept Windows Phone 7 is a failure and we don't care for those users who bought them". This might have  upsetted a lot of its customers. But some loyal fan are still tryig to defend Microsoft with whatever means possible. Microsoft's senior product manager for Windows Phone Greg Sullivan in an interview said, "this clean break for Windows Phone 8 was by design and in fact part of the plan for the platform from the very beginning. Back when buyers were grabbing the very first Windows Phones, Microsoft was already working on Windows Phone 8 for future buyers only". Why would Microsoft's plan involve leaving early supporters in the cold? Apps, according to Sullivan, or more correctly developers building Windows Phone apps. They needed an installed base to get developers interested in creating apps, so they pushed Wi...
