Index is the single most important thing for any search engine. The more faster and efficient it is ... the better the results are (obviously). Starting with Windows Vista, the Microsoft operating system uses an advanced index that gives you extremely faster search results when comparing with the latter versions such as 98 or XP for instance.But still, to achieve this relatively "faster" performance, first Windows has to create a data-base (index)...

Google Search Engine for Programmers: Google Code Search
Posted on 21:13 by Unknown
If you're a computer programmer then a general purpose search engine can still be quite useful if all you want is to find tutorials, community based forums, etc. But let's say that you have few specific needs such as debugging or trying to find codes, etc then you need a special search engine that "understands" your needs.In that case (I'm pretty most have heard about it but if you're a programmer newbie...) Google code search is still one of the...

Collaborative file (text file in this case) editing is a pretty common thing these days because computer networks or Cloud computing in general is becoming a "major thing" these days.So basically if you're a part of a network and looking for a way to edit a document (in simple text format) with multiple users without having to lock it... then Gobby is a cross-platform ready, free application that can do, just that!.Although don't hope it to be an...

Ubuntu One for Windows (Cloud App Client) is Released!
Posted on 22:21 by Unknown

"Ubuntu One" is the brand name for the cloud computing (storage specific) model of the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Although the Ubuntu Cloud model is an open one unlike with other models such as iClould or MS Windows Cloud version which are proprietary in nature.I don't know much about the business oriented cloud... but I'm against the idea of the personal cloud "module", because something doesn't feel right man :). Anyhow, whether it's necessary or...

Simple Personal Information Manager (PIM) for Ubuntu: Vazaar!
Posted on 21:35 by Unknown

If you live "around" your computer all day long :D and also quite busy already, then having a simple yet an effective personal information manager software (you know all the features & also the ability to backup your PIM data, etc) is pretty handy. Although the Gnome desktop used to come with a one of its but it was "let go of" long ago thus if you use Ubuntu Linux and looking for a simple PIM software, then Vazaar is an excellent application.Remember,...
How to Install Firefox 7 in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat & 10.04?
Posted on 02:38 by Unknown

The fully Open-sourced & highly secured web browser, Mozilla Firefox just got a hell lot faster!. This "was" one of the things that Firefox had for a long time, the somewhat "excessive" memory consumption when comparing with other rivals such as Google Chrome for instance. Although that's not to say Chrome is superior than FF by a huge margin since it also uses reasonable amount of your RAM, but somehow Chrome manages to stay relatively faster...

How to Edit Compiz Settings in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot?
Posted on 23:58 by Unknown

Compiz is an advanced 3D Graphics rendering manager + is one of the first to add the 3D compositing feature to the X-Windows GUI library. After sometime a bit of a rival came called Berryl (a fork of Compiz) but later it was merged back into it thus Compiz the current dominator. But that could change since Gnome Shell uses a one of its own 3D render called Mutter.Anyhow, you can find a decent amount of GUI tools to edit Compiz settings but for some...
How to Access Advanced Power Options in Windows 7?
Posted on 21:39 by Unknown

Although the sole purpose of using MS Windows 7 in a powerful desktop PC is all about gaming :P... thus accessing advanced power settings makes little sense to most. But, if you use a portable device, say something like an Ultraportable Laptop or a Netbook, etc then configuring few advanced power settings concerning Windows 7 can come in handy.When it comes to desktop UI designs it maybe true that you can learn a lot of from Apple Mac but the Gnome...

Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot (beta 2) Review
Posted on 00:25 by Unknown

Well, it's been quite a while since Ubuntu Developers started to roll-out the upcoming Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Orcelot and few days ago they released the beta 2 version. Now, I've never used the 11.10 because it was too new and wasn't that much production ready, so to speak.But after hearing the Beta 2 is out now we have like few weeks left and another RC left before the official launch of 11.10, I thought the Beta version 2 should be much closer to...

Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 (beta) Review
Posted on 02:06 by Unknown

To be honest, just like with most others who've been using GNU/Linux for some time now, I had it quite rough with GNU/Linux. I started with RedHat Linux and had to figure out how to compile and install applications, didn't have a broadband Internet connection thus I manually downloaded the source code from else where and after or while doing the "./configure", bugger used to give me "dependency" errors about which I had no clue what the heck was...
