The top 2 reasons why you should use Chrome browser and leave Internet Explorer asap

Whenever i see some of my non-geek friends juggling thru multiple tabs and windows of the Internet Explorer browser, i'd pause and take the time to impart them the danger of still using IE and force 'em to download the Google Chrome Browser while giving 'em the sidelights of its lucrativity and usefulness.

If you're not using Google Chrome browser, and still wallowing with IE or Firefox or Opera (or prolly Safari for the Mac enthusiasts), you're missing a lot of fun and strategic net surfing, not to mention speed and neatness.

Since when did i start using Chrome? I saw this actually when i was still an RS at Dell back in 2008, with my agent Bob fiddling the tabs, i took interest intuit and since then, Google Chrome has been my default browser.

The top 2 reasons why Chrome browser is inseparable to me whenever i surf the web?

1. Speed

- Trust me, you can really feel the difference whenever  Facebook loads up in chrome as compared when being loaded to IE

- The address bar or the Omnibox was designed as a search box. I don't need to type google.com and enter my search keyword in the box anymore. All i gotta do is type the keyword i wanna seach in the address bar, Hit enter; and presto! the search results are up!!!

- the drag and drop feature is way better than any other browser

2. Minimalist Style

- If you're a sucker of simplicity and clutterless browser, then go and download chrome's minimalist theme.

- The default theme is already pleasing to the eyes.

- What makes me love further about this ingenuity of Google is its neatness and ease of use when it comes to settings and options. I can't help but compare to IE's maze of Internet Options; but with Chrome, it's pretty neat and easy to navigate.

So? you might be asking, if the feat - IN Private browsing is available?  Oh Yeah! it's called Incognito mode which i blogged before. When it comes to security, this is way at par to other browsers out there.  Surely, i've never been attacked with pop-ups and malware and spyware.

Till now, i just couldn't resist promoting this beautiful browser, it's so useful and down-to-earth. 

In full effect, i'm thinking a portmanteau of deep obsessiveness and chrome, that'd be Chromniac. Lol

Reface Facebook using your iPhone

Okay, i'm not a big fan of Mark Zuck and Steve Jobs is figuratively litotes in nature. I blogged last time that there are two ways in refacing your FB profile which was a huge success cuz that entry made it to the top of Popular Post on this blog.

What i wanna share now (which could give wide-eyed smiles to iPhone users) is the handy app that you can use in refacing your Facebook.

Goto the APP STORE on your phone and type "Facebook Custom"

After downloading the app, just walk in thru the steps and you should be able to achieve your desired appearance of your Facebook Profile.

This is neat for those who rely most on their iPhones, twiddling through your laptop and desktop sometimes can give nausea.

Thanks to Dundee for sharing this free app.

Divide me not!

A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation. 

Mark Twain 

do not tremble when the strong aims to crush

or weaken thy knees when it attacks

do not lose hope upon the valleys of fear

or faint upon the scythes of wrath

be compassionate to those of less

and be patient to those of rue

forget their wisdom clue

and bury their rudeness without due

do not symphatize...

it's better to emphatize

be a an ear to listen

of worries that needeth spoken

heed those who are weary

to orphans you must show mercy

wipe away the tears of grief

& strengthen the world, void of peace

care to smile to strangers

you might not know how they feel

you might have lifted some of their sorrows

in their delight of grin despite in a burrow

fear no more

where the end is near

at long last you will see

the promise of eternity

January is almost over, yeeha!!! thoughts of endless hope keeps running through my head, i can't help but stand still. The journey must go on. ;)

Brushes of experience

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers. 

Orison Swett Marden 

twisting ecstacy

regalia of boon

waking the dormant

ice-clothed pawn

simmering hotness

allowing to erupt

disconnected thoughts

in a gentle abrupt

brewing aroma

of delicacies on fire

craving for nothing

in the barbless wire

restless libido

containing thy mind

closing innuendo

in a refined halo

jekyll and hyde

who shall appear

in falseness of truth

or the glory of wrath

epitaph carved

the smile of an inkling

relieved to the deathbed

in rising from within

Oracle bequeathed

nowhere to run

where? for refuge

in solitary? or Rune?

clasping hands

sweat unbound

dripping, flowing

down and round

sparks and shocks

numbing nerves

of cracking rapture

to doom awaits.

when things aren't just the way going you want 'em to, it seems that it ends up more complication. better go with the flow, forget to counter, just see through it.

How do you sort your iPhone apps?

I've been crushed to confusion in the finding of where-to-get / where-to-tap those apps on the iPhone. This extra simple task to do before is seemingly deteriorating like a Pentium processor wantonly needing to upgrade for the Core  i7.

The fact that groups has been established since the advent of iOS 4.2.1, it made way for a comfy arrangement of apps based on your liking and choice, infact you could even rename the group at your own freedom. However, as the apps grew in number, i am most of the time lost in track where did it go, or where did i group it up to? The dilemma seeps in, spending time in finding out where it's located.
Okay, don't bother telling me "Don't u use the spotlight search?". iDo! but i still would want to know the path where the app is specifically located, just incase i wanna delete it, it'd be handy for me to just hold & tap the "x", without going thru iTunes by deleting 'em one by one.


Then, it dawned on me suddenly while navigating thru iTunes that each app has its own category.

- Reference
- Productivity
- Social
- News
- Utilities
- Education
- Healthcare & Fitness
- Books
- Business
- Travel
- Entertainment
- Lifestyle
- Games
- Music
- & more...


So i painstakingly re-organized my apps for good based on their own category. Note that i did this while my phone is connected to iTunes, it was easier to identify which apps belong to certain category; as the Apps tab in iTunes could be sorted, bingo! i just grouped those apps that belong to each other. And so, it looks like this way:

Making way for easy accessing my favorite apps, i dropped i dropped them in the last page. Those apps that are needed to get a speedo flick instantly were outed from their groups, leaving them floating on my final page.

 Now, life is easier. I don't have to undergo like a basset hound dog searching for those lil apps. What about you? Do u have a personal preference in organizing your apps?
