Youtube – discover music the Pandora way
Feb 12th
Youtube is testing a new service. The Youtube Disco. It is a one stop for all your music needs. Where you can listen to all the full music for free with videos. What’s more? There is a tab on the second page that finds you similar artists to the one you entered on the first page. Similar artists are found using some algorithm that comes from user choices. It has some very good advantages over other such services like last.fm and Pandora. Pandora isn’t even available in India.

Half month of pain
Feb 2nd
A proper internet connection appears to have resumed today in our hostel. Almost half a month of limited internet through phone was a pain. Writing down a post wasn’t really possible with javascripts getting timed out on the edge connection.
We missed coverage of several big events that made news during this time. Some of them being:
1. Firefox 3.6 release
2. Steve Jobs reveals the iPad
3. Yoututbe supports to HTML 5.0 player
4. Chrome 4.0 launched [Download Google Chrome 4.0]
and missed many other informative posts I had in mind. Posts will resume in the December fashion again if the internet isn’t erratic.

Firefox 3.6 Release Candidate available
Jan 6th
Everyone has started to shift to Chrome. Last few months Chrome made enormous moves on the global browser market share. It slid past Safari a few days back. Now Chrome is the number 3. With Firefox 4.0 deadlines pushed forward, I expect 3.6 to cheer us up with the speed.
I expect a new trim down version of Firefox now. I await for the final version of Firefox 3.6 to release and force me to shift back to it. Sorry, you’ll have to go on diet Firefox. Revamp the interface to really breezy and light feel on version 4.0. Cheers!
The download links to the Firefox 3.6 RC1
1. Windows: Download
2. Macintosh: Download
3. Linux: Download
