Thanks To Google For Making Opera Free

Thursday 29 September 2005 @ 4:25 am

Opera
Now almost all of us know ad-free Opera Browser is free for download. In case you don’t, go read the post via the link.

After the stunning announcement, Opera reached 1 Million downloads in 2 days !! The record doubles the previous highest download in April when Opera Software released Opera 8. Opera was even curious enough to track who were the downloaders too, who else? Internet Explorer users, they were.

Quoted:
According to server logs, a majority of downloads came from Internet Explorer users.

A rough figure shows the annual income from selling Opera is around USD$3.9 Million. So, you might wonder, why all of a sudden Opera Software had such a thought of turning one of their money-making products into a freeware? Well, there is definitely a story behind it.

A Brilliant Flash Website

Wednesday 28 September 2005 @ 11:25 am

I just came across a website which I think it is by far the most creatively designed website I have ever browsed.

While people are complaining the use of flash media by Macromedia in a website is resource intensive, serving no purpose, lame and stupid, this website utilizes flash media to the maximum yet I don’t feel any lag while browsing.

Leo Burnett

By the way, before entering the website, please make sure you have a flash player installed. Okay, here goes :

Leo Burnett : Big Idea come out of Big Pencils

Tuesday 27 September 2005 @ 3:21 pm

Yahoo
In less than a month Yahoo first introduced the insane USD$1.99/year domain name registration, today I saw a similar crazy deal from Yahoo again !!

Listen up guys, Yahoo is now offering USD$2.99/year for any new domain name registration !! However, one yahoo member can only purchase maximum one domain name. Unless you have more than one yahoo account. :D

This offer is valid until September 28, 2005 at 11:59PM PST, which is September 29, 2005 at 02:59AM 02:59PM local time. Perhaps I calculated it correctly.

Google Web Accelerator Re-open For Download

Tuesday 27 September 2005 @ 11:43 am

Web Accelerator
I have just mentioned one of the Google free service, Google Web Accelerator, in the comment of previous post. Coincidentally, Google Web Accelerator has silently re-open for download after more than 4 month of shutting down the download link due to the reach of their maximum capacity of users.

As I have mentioned 2 months ago, Google Web Accelerator started giving out free download since the beginning of May 2005, somehow stopped accepting new users in less than a month time. Now after almost 4 months, Google once again starts accepting new users. You better be quick, otherwise who knows they will shut down the download link again soon.

Just in case you do not know what actually is Google Web Accelerator, basically it is an application that helps to speed up your broadband connection by sending your connection requests through some speed optimizing processes on Google servers, then send back the requests to you.

Please be noted that, this free service is only designed for broadband users, dial-up connection might not see any speed difference. Besides, it now supports only Internet Explorer 5.5+ or Firefox 1.0+ browsers.

Tuesday
Google has launched numerous free tools in the past few weeks, last Tuesday Google started giving free donwload of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tools for secure broadband access, named Google Secure Access.

Friday
Upon request, I tried to show a short tutorial of how to create sitemap for your blog using online tools, so that you can submit the sitemap to Google Sitemap in order to boost ranking and traffic in Google Blog Search. After that, I shared the history of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). On the same day, I found out that IE’s closest rival, Mozilla Firefox, has gone pass 90 Million downloads mark !!
