What you use?

To surf. Duh. Not a surfboard or some weird skis. Surf a site. -.-

Well, at hand Netizens are so blessed with almost anything. When I first started using the computer which was in 1994, my dad only had Netscape in the PC.

Today we have Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Morzilla Firefox, Opera, Flock..... The list is endless.



Here's the link to the top 10 you can use.

Now now, isn't this a case of market saturation? Too many similar products in one single market. Of course this "market" I'm talking about is the World Wide Web. Of course there are 101 kinds for us to choose from. However, would it be another case of déjà vu? Remember the dot com boom? So would Google and the other explorer service providers relive the dot com boom, in turn being Web 2.0 boom? Hmmm. I guess time will prevail.


P.S.: The writer was using Firefox to surf for some 5 years but changed to Chrome just last year.

Youtube learning!

Quote Andrew Matthews:
Everyday is a learning day!


Apparently he is right. Today many of us carry a mobile phone. Some of us own a Blackberry. And we like to be unique. So we do modifications to our phones. However having to be a Singaporean, we tend to be stingy and pretty much cash conscious. So how now? Paying a person to do it might be not worth it. Good thing there's youtube! Woots!

Now changing the BB casing is a breeze.

But wait. What if I'm stuck with my statistics homework and I still don't understand after countless tries. No fret. Youtube saves the day!


I personally have subscribed to a few channels that teach stuff. From cooking to make up to even stats. In some way it allows for more time flexibility. I could be watching a movie in the afternoon but attending a stats lecture at night. Also, it allows for free learning. Youtube is free. Anyone who wants to learn can learn. How cool is that!

So still pondering how to cook that medium rare steak for your girlfriend on Valentine's Day? Youtube it!
