New Browser for OSX

I just installed the Google chrome browser for OSX. The one that Eric Schidt, Google's Chair did not want to build at first. Seems like it is faster than Safari, which is already faster than Firefox which has become so bloated and slow.

what can you say about chrome for osx?

 

I like it. It has the speed of Safari and sometimes feels even faster but also the potential of Firefox.

 

I like the way it defaults to staying in the tab you are on even if you create a new tab.

 

New tabs also bring up a feature similar to Safari's where your browsing history is displayed as miniature web pages instead of just words like a bookmark list.

 

My wife and daughter likes the themes it came with which says a lot since the themes of Firefox are not as pretty.

 

When you start typing a URL in the address bar, Firefox will drop down a list of possible web sites that you might be trying to access based on your history. You will then have to scroll down and choose the right page even if it was the very next one. In Chrome, you just hit enter when the pop up display the page you want on the first line.

 

chrome also loads very fast. faster than safari which is already way faster than firefox.

Hello again. When I use my PPT, GIF files (moving pics) perfectly work. Pero pag nasa powerpoint for mac, di na gumagalaw. Is there any way to make it work? are there any alternatives?

 

 

This issue is fixed by downloading and installing the Office 2008 Service Pack 2 or a later update for Office 2008. Get it here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=92013.

 

Now beware! If you are using a pirated version of Microsoft Office, the service pack will know and invalidate your serial.

 

If you don't want to go this route, I suggest you convert your GIFs to Apple's Quicktime MOV format to sure that the animation will work.

 

According to the Microsoft Office for Mac support site (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/default.mspx?clr=99-15-0&srcid=a6423962-3417-4974-b489-479794e52dcd1033&ep=9&target=043cd4a2-cf51-4a38-a68e-18eba9e631431033), you can insert and save animated GIF (.gif) file formats in PowerPoint 2008, but you cannot play them in slide show mode. To correct this issue, on the Insert menu, point to Movie, and then select the file that you want.

 

Essentially, this means that you have to re-link the GIFs when you migrate the presentation to OSX.

Boom i've received a christmas present from my boss and its a belkin cooling stand. I was just wondering if i can plug it to my ipod charger so i dont have to connect it directly to my laptop,coz i always leave my mbp open

 

That would work. The real question should be: for how long? Check how much power the cooler draws and compare that to how much power the belkin puts out. You are looking for a figure expressed in milliwatts (mW). If draw is half or less than what is supplied, you are ok to plug and forget. The standard is 70% utilization but some power supplies get too warm for my taste at that rate. You can even use any cheap power adaptor as current quality is not an issue when you are only powering a fan, just make sure it produces enough power to avoid overheating. I think a 1 amp power brick would do.
