It's the war of a new world! A browser world! In a time long long ago came the Netscape browser where it reigned for a good period of time...

All of a sudden, everything changed when a new competitor came to light - Microsoft! With it's Internet Explorer browser which took the world by storm and world rejoiced. Every computer soon got a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer installed and it was crawling everywhere... 

Years later, a bunch of programmers decided to create some disturbance and created a free open-source browser called Mozilla Firefox. Because it was open source, it was a community based creation, and so once again, the world rejoiced as there was now choice - no longer locked within the confines of the world of 1 choice... 

It's 2007 and the time has come for another change... Apple, the makers of the infamous iMac, iPod, iBook and everything else "i"... has released for the very first time, their very own browser for the Windows platform. 

It's on BETA - which basically means it's not exactly a complete product however, even with that half-cooked status, it shows GREAT promise. I downloaded a copy from Apple's website - http://www.apple.com/safari, got it installed and voila! It felt as though a big cut of flesh from Apple land has entered my machine. If you've used a mac before, you'll LOVE it. Everything from boxes to scroll bars are so mac-ish. 

So the final answer is this, who is gonna win? Microsoft? Firefox? Apple? That's for you to decide :)

Besides, it's all FREE! Download it and play... if you hate it, just uninstall it! 

Seriously... I think I've been taken in by the world of white and glossy finishes. Either that or its a temporary infatuation OR it's a revolutionary gadget...


Whichever and whatever it is, it is possibly the one gadget that will change the way we look at the TV. I've been eyeing this product since it came out - after some savings... I've finally purchased the Apple TV.

What is it? It's a computer for the living room! Once taken out of the box and plugged into the power socket, it comes to life and starts asking you various questions (ie. which WiFi connection to connect to etc.) and the next thing you know, it goes into your computer via wireless and plugs and downloads everything... and I mean EVERYTHING... actually, then again not everything like files etc. but media - entertainment files to be precise.


I'm talking about movies, tv shows, music, photos - it all gets pulled into the gadget and categorized accordingly. Hit the play button on the mini remote and that's when the beauty begins... imagine listening to your music, watch movies, see your photos come to life through animation and automatically selected background music on your TV.

Such gadgets are already available in the market so the concept itself is not that great but it's the simplicity... which holds the key. All the way from peeling the box open to playing your multimedia files - it's just so EASY.


Okay, I'm beginning to sound like I'm a salesman for the product BUT it's just an opinion :) Another gadget in my life... Don't be afraid of gadgets - they don't turn you into frogs... and trust me, you might want to take a better look at this :)
