“Google Classic”, the google search service at the end of Internet!

When you talk about internet giant, the first name that pops up is “google! Google is currently ruling the entire web with it into nearly every web technology you can think of. It is best known for its superfast and highly reliable search engine. But how would it survive when the internet comes to an end? Take a look below:

Google Post card

They will never stop giving you the search engine services. With the end of internet, google will resort to regular postal service for searching anything. Just that, this time the result will not be shown in 30 seconds, rather it would take 30 days for the same!

Amazing zoom in on google maps, Just unbelieveable

Well, you would be amazed at this one. Google sure got a new revolution in technology with its maps service. well not exactly revolution in technology, but atleast revolution in getting hands on technology!

With google maps you can see any location, get the directions and know which place is where. But would you believe, at times google maps can give you a real close shot of a place that you can identify the people by their faces and see what they are doing?

Yes its true. In some areas of the world, you can zoom in to such levels that you never imagined. For instance, have a look at the picture below:

Scares you, doesn’t it? that means there might be people watching what you do daily! Well, i am talking about those dudes and others who are always on system trying to peek into the world.

But really, this is cool. Comeon just imagine, zooming in so closing. And look at that fella looking all the up as if he knows we are taking his shot!

Some of you might be thinking this is fake, right? For all such bunnies, here is the link, see for your self:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f…m=1&iwloc=addr

Doesn’t this prove that Bush fooled everyone saying “we are going to catch Osama by going to Afghanistan”. If we could watch any tom, dick and harry, couldn’t our government simply see what he is upto in some part of the world? What a lie over Oil capture!

Firefox Extensions – Easy way to customize your Browser

Mozilla did come up with an excellent idea of building a flexible Extension support that makes it exclusive browser. The simple success its receiving is only because of this feature as more and more extensions are available today thus making it the most popular browser. Browser extensions are like additional functionalities that get added to it for simple tasks. It can be as simple as adding toolbar buttons, or as complex as a complete application, such as a RSS Reader. Extensions enable Firefox to be customized to meet individual needs and preferences. We have compiled a list of what we consider to be the best extensions for Firefox. When evaluating extensions for recommendation, not only do we consider the functionality and features of the extension, but we also test to ensure it works well with all the other extensions we recommend. This has been a lengthy evaluation in which we have taken great care to recommend high quality extensions that serve a useful purpose. The recommended extensions will also be updated on an ongoing basis. Therefore, be sure to check back for updates periodically.

Adblock Plus – Adblock Plus blocks ads and annoying content in pages. It can be easily ed and can also easily eleminate any specific elements of a page on command. The only drawback of Adblock Plus is that on occassion, it can also result in a page not displaying as designed, often ommitting necessary content. However, it is easy to either disable Adblock Plus temporarily or set it to always be disabled on certain sites only.
Adsense Notifier – If you operate one or more web sites, chances are that you are currently or have in the past used AdSense for web site revenue. If you’re currently using AdSense, the Adsense Notifier extension is very handy. It provides quick, convenient access to the revenue for the date range of interest. It can be set to show the revenue for the follow ranges: Today, Past 7 Days, This Month, All Time, Yesterday, Two Days Ago, Last Month, This week, Last Week, Last Business Week, and Since Last Payment.
AI RoboForm – As we have mentioned before, we’re big fans of AI RoboForm. If you use RoboForm for web form filling, site logins, and/or password management, be sure to use the extension for Firefox.
Always Remember Password – By default, when a web site instructs the browser to never allow a password manager to retain the login information, Firefox will honor this. However, if your PC is not accessible to others, it can be very handy to have these passwords saved. This extension will enable passwords to be saved on any site, including Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and banking sites. Note: This extension was not updated for later versions of Firefox by the author. We have modified the extension so that it will work flawlessly with the current version of Firefox. You can download the modified version here.
AutoAuth – When your password has been saved for a HTTP authentication dialog, using this extension will cause the login to occur automatically, without you have to click the OK button on the dialog.
Converter- The Converter Firefox extension offers unit conversion from any page. For example, if a page contains the text “15 m”, you can select it, and right click. It will show the length in yards and feet. The extension supports a wide range of unit conversions.
Copy Link Text - When you right click a link in Firefox, it shows an option called “Copy Link Location”, which is very handy for copying the URL of a link. Likewise, the Copy Link Text extension adds an option called Copy Link Text. When you right click a link, and select the option, the anchor text of that link is copied to the clipboard. This is a quicker method than selecting the text and then copying, plus it works on sites that block copying normally.
Download Statusbar – Instead of showing a dialog for your downloads, this extension includes downloads conveniently in the Firefox statusbar. Downloads can be easily paused/resumed; double click a download to run it; right click for an option to open the containing folder; download speed display; and much more. The extension’s options also provide the ability to automatically clear files of certain extensions from the bar to keep it tidy, such as files that open automatically.
ErrorZilla Mod – We have not been using this extension for very long, and do not have a lot of experience with it yet, but what we have seen of it seems quite handy. When a page fails to load in Firefox, ErrorZilla Mod will show options for “Try Again,” “Google Cache,” “Coralize,” “Wayback,” “Ping,” “Trace,” and “Whois”, which can be used to gain access to the page, even with the site down or access information about the site.
Fireshot- The Fireshot extension makes taking a screen shot of a web page a snap. Even if entire page is not visible, Fireshot can still capture the entire page. If you prefer, it can also capture just the visible area of a page. With a single click, Fireshot can capture the page and upload, copy, mail, print, or open the file for editing (in the internal editor or an external editor of choice). The internal editor provides the ability to add shapes, pointers, text, another image, or draw on the image.
Flagfox- The Flagfox extension shows a flag icon for the country in which the current web site is hosted in the statusbar or address bar. A tooltip is provided that also offers the name of the country, in case the flag is not familiar. The extension uses an IP address database rather than relying on the top-level domain. When the flag icon is clicked, GeoTool will be loaded, which provides a location map, as well as information on the ISP, city, IP address, local time, country code, region, postal code, and more.
Highlander- When you click a link to a URL that’s already open in another Firefox tab, the Highlander extension will cause the already opened tab to be focused, rather than duplicating the URL in a new tab.
IE View Lite – The IE View Lite extension provides a context menu item for opening the current page in IE. The extension also has the ability to enter sites that will always open in IE. It can close the tabs for pages being opened in IE automatically, and send any additional parameters to the of the page to the Internet Explorer EXE. As much as we like Firefox, every once in a while, we run into a page that will not work properly in Firefox, which makes this extension handy.
Navigational Sounds – When this extension is enabled, Firefox will play the Windows OS start and end navigation sounds when pages start and finish loading (the “click” from IE when a page navigation begins).
Nightly Tester Tools – We recommend this extension only for those who are experienced or desperate. If you’ve been using Firefox for a while and use a number of extensions, you have no doubt experienced the anguish of an extension no longer working after a Firefox update. Even worse is when the extension’s developer decides not to update it anymore. This extension can be used to force extensions to work with the new Firefox version. Most extensions will work normally with minor Firefox updates (some even work properly after major version upgrades), and you can always disable an extension again if needed. However, we do recommend being careful when using this extension, nonetheless.
Oldbar – For those who dislike the new “AwesomeBar” introduced with Firefox 3, the oldbar extension will cause Firefox to maintain the familiar address bar from earlier versions of Firefox. The browser will still benefit from the enhanced autocomplete algorithm of Firefox 3, but with the appearance of Firefox 2.
OpenBook – The OpenBook Firefox extension provides customization for the Add Bookmark dialog, including the ability to automatically open the bookmarks tree and resize the Add Bookmark dialog.
SearchStatus – The SearchStatus extension provides extensive search-related information about visited web sites, including Google PageRank, Google Category, Alexa popularity ranking, Compete.com ranking, Alexa incoming links, Alexa related links, and backward links from Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The key information is all presented conveniently in one discreet and compact area, with the remaining data available via a right-click. The information displayed is also customizable. For example, if the Compete.com ranking is not inportant to you, it can be easily disabled, thus making more room available.
Tab Mix Plus – Tab Mix Plus is a very robust extension that enhances Firefox’s tab browsing functionality. It provides options for controlling tab focus, link opening, many new tab display capabilities, tab clicking behavior, undo closed tabs and windows (as well as a list of previously closed tabs), advanced session management, and much more.
Text Link- The Text Link extension enables URLs that are not linked on web pages to be easily launched via a double click. Settings are also provided that enable URLs to be executed with different key and/or mouse combinations.
WeatherBug – The WeatherBug extension provides quick access to local weather conditions and forecasts. Icons representing forecast are shown in the statusbar, and more information is available via tooltips for the icons. The current temperature (or other information) can also be shown directly on the statusbar. The data presented as well as its placement is highly configurable.
Web Directory Form Filler – This is a web form filling extension that is similar in functionality to AI RoboForm, except that it is designed specifically for use in submitting to web directories. It is feature-rich and easy to use. The extension features title rotation, deep link support, and even deep link title rotation. The sidebar also provides exceptional submission management. We are making this extension available free here exclusively.

New Scientific Break Through! Large Hadron Collider Tests Begin

Another great break through for mankind, the recent news of beginning of particle collider tests takes us to the next level of Science. The History of this project goes back to as late as 1984 when it first got incepted. This new break through can now open the mysteries of knowing the dimensions of Time and Space.

On Wednesday, 10th September 2008, The world’s largest Particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile underground ring. At around 10:26 am, two white dots flashed on the screens after series of trials. These flashing dots indicate that the protons had traveled a full length through the Large Hadron Collider. This Large Hadron Collider was built at a cost of whopping $3.8 Billion and is the history’s Biggest Science Experiment.

With this all the physicists have much more power to crush the atoms to know more details about it. The Organization carrying out this experiment is called “CERN”, by its french name. It began these tests by shooting protons through the tunnel in steps with first shot at 9:35 am. Another shot was fired about 5 hours later in anti clockwise direction.

Two beams would finally be fired in opposite directions in order to reproduce the effect of Big Bang, The theory behind creation of Universe. This collider is designed to make protons travel at the speed of light, zooming 11,000 times per second around the tunnel. These beams are fired through two hoses, speeding through the vacuum that is colder and emptier than outer space. The collide of protons would finally happen when both beam cross each other eventually and a set of large and heavy digital cameras would take pictures of the collision. The cameras have the capability of taking millions of shots per second.

These CERN experiments could reveal more about the Dark Matter and Anti matter. The hypothetical particle, called “Gods particle” could also be possibly detected. Though dangers involve in this expriment, particularly when the beam is fired at full power, there are high chances of the accelerator getting damaged.

Lets wait and see when the experiments are officially and properly carried out. No dates have been set yet, but possibly these expriments would resume within few months.

Duplicate Content: What, When & How

Generally the questions posed regarding duplicate content show the kind of confusion and rumors that haunt the webmasters. In one of the recent conferences that took place in Chicago, the following problem was aptly dealt with. Here are few points that show throw light on this aspect:

Definition of Duplicate content: Chunks of Content that are in or across the domains which may completely match some other content or are similar is referred to as Duplicate Content. In most cases, this is not intended and is not malicious in its origin like the forums that generate both stripped down targetted pages and regular ones, linking of or store items shown through multiple distinct web addresses etc. Sometimes in order to achieve search engine ranking or to gain more traffic, the content is duplicated across the domains.

Content that is not considered Duplicate: Articles that are written exactly in two different languages like English and German is not considered as duplicate. Also, occasional quotes etc is also not flagged as duplicate content.

The reason why Search Engines take duplication seriously: The purpose of Search Engines is to throw out unique and diverse content when a particular user searches for some information. Duplication of content across the web would compromise this intent. The need of Search Engines would eventually be lost if this is not controlled.

How do Search Engines resolve this: SE try hard to distinguish and index information that is unique. For example, the filtering is done in such a way that if your site has articles are in regular and printer versions and none of them are blocked by using either no index meta tag or robots.txt, then Search Engine chooses only one version to list. In few cases where SE perceives that duplicate content is shown with an intention of manipulating the rankings and hence deceive its users, it makes necessary adjustments in ranking and indexing of the sites involved. As such SE concentrates more on filtering than rank adjustments. Therefore, in any circumstance, for a webmaster who duplicates the content on his site, he would see his page falling down in index and eventually banned for it.

How to proactively deal with Duplicate stuff
Block appropriately: Instead of SE algorithms deciding which version to select, its better that webmasters show the SE which one to select. Just disallow those versions that you don’t want SE to index.
Make use of 301s: Make good use of 301 redirects in your .htaccess file to aptly redirect users, the SE bots and other spiders; if you are site is restructured.
Internal Linking consistency: Endeavor to keep your internal linking consistent; don’t link to /page/ and /page and /page/index.htm.
Make use of TLDs: use top level domains wherever and whenever possible to handle country related content. This will help SE serve the right version of your information. We’re more likely to know that .us indicates US-focused content, for instance, than /US or US.example.com.
Careful Syndicate: If you put your content on other sites, ensure that they have a link back to your original article. Even with that, note that SEs always show the (unblocked) version which it thinks is most appropriate for users in each given search, which may or may not be the version you’d prefer.
Use the preferred domain feature of webmaster tools: If other sites link to yours using both the www and non-www version of your URLs, you can let SE know which way you prefer your site to be indexed.
Minimize boilerplate repetition: For example, Instead of including lengthy copyright text on the bottom of every page, include a very brief summary and then link to a page with more details.
Avoid publishing stubs: Users don’t like seeing “empty” pages, so avoid placeholders where possible. This means not publishing (or at least blocking) pages with zero reviews, no product listings, etc., so users (and bots) aren’t subjected to a zillion instances of “Below you’ll find a superb list of all the great Products in [insert productname]…” with no actual listings.
Understand your CMS: Ensure you know how the content is displayed on your Web site, particularly if it includes a blog, a forum, or related system that often shows the same content in multiple formats.
Don’t worry be happy: Don’t fret too much about sites that scrape (misappropriate and republish) your content. Though annoying, it’s highly unlikely that such sites can negatively impact your site’s presence in Google. If you do spot a case that’s particularly frustrating, you are welcome to file a DMCA request to claim ownership of the content and have SE deal with the rogue site.

To conclude, proper awareness of duplicate content issues and little time of maintainence should make you help SE provide better user experience with unique and relevant content as well as make your site do better on ranking and listing!
