iGoogle, which is Google’s personalized home page has a new update where widgets on the page can now be viewed in the newest canvass view. It simply enlarges the widget to the full iGoogle window. Sixteen new and updated widgets that are promoted by Google currently support the said feature. Currently, there are around 40,000 widgets available in iGoogle. It has not stopped on displaying standard small widgets. Whats new also is the fact that the larger views will not be restricted of ways to earn from them through monetization schemes. Developers can certainly do whatever they see fit for the pages. But in the smaller view, Google does not allow advertising and other direct profit generating schemes. iGoogle’s widgets were written in the Open Social platform. So there must not be much of a problem running this on the portal page.

I love this application! Seriously, but I’m not getting into the details of that lest I get into trouble if you know what I mean.
Anyway, what BitTorrent is, is basically a content distribution protocol written in the Python language by Bram Cohen under open source license. It enables efficient software distribution and peer-to-peer sharing of very large files by enabling users to serve as network redistribution points. Talk about cooperation. What it does is to share bits and pieces of the file among many customers until everyone is happy with a complete download. This makes it possible to share your file with many other people without individualizing downloads. Most of files on torrent are entire movies (without splitting them up into parts) and TV shows.

With 18 percent market share to 74 for IE by Net Application stats, Mozilla is surely a blast. And now, major websites just have to support FireFox. Apple’s safari which is available now in Windows too is third in rank with 6 percent share. Next contender is Opera saying that the browser is the single most significant piece of software made nowadays which badly needs innovation if you intend to extend the reach of the web. Having a lot of competitors and a richer web is surfacing, Microsoft knows the stakes are indeed high. And FireFox is becoming fiercer as it heightens its profile. There will be a Gran Paradiso, a 24-hour download record with FireFoz 3 set by Mozilla.

Splashup which was formerly known as Fauxto is very similar to Photoshop. It is a layer-based with lightweight editor just like offline editor Paint.net that is able to pull in images from Flickr, Facebook or any URL you specify. In editing, the idea here is same with the basic Photoshop-style image editing instead of specifically photo-related retouching. Meaning, there is no control over exposure and touch-up options like red-eye removal or face-retouching. Sliders control the effects which can be previewed in your image as you fiddle with the sliders. All in all, the layers and effects are impressively powerful but it could have been better with a photo-retouching control.

A directory harvest attack is an action that involves seeking the valid e-mail addresses that are connected to an e-mail server and adding them to a spam database. Harvesting e-mail addresses can be done either by sending messages to different possible usernames which are generated by randomly combining letters and numbers. Another method is sending messages to likely usernames like initials followed by common surnames. If the e-mail account is invalid, the server will reply ‘not found’. However if a valid e-mail account receives the message, the message doesn’t return thus the DHA program retains the e-mail address for future spamming. Spam filters are internet applications that could counteract this; consider downloading them into your computer.
