Hey! Today is something special. Its the D-Day! {Not the Normandy one, D-Day means Download Day here :D}. So, Have you downloaded Firefox 3 already or plan to do it on some other day?. My advise is that if you want to use Firefox 3 than you should download it before 18:16 UTC today and help them{Mozilla Team} to break the world record. At the time of writing this, the download counter is already showing 6 million downloads with more than 2 million alone from the U.S. So download it, use it and tweak it freely. Here I am sharing some resources which could help you in your ‘firefoxing’ journey.

1-With 9 tweaks and one Easter egg, this guide from lifehacker came in great help when I was setting up Firefox in the morning. You too should check out this awesome guide.

2-Firefox 3 store bookmarks in database instead in html file. If you are facing problem importing your Firefox 2 bookmarks then with the help of this nice tweak from ghacks, you can import your bookmarks easily.

3-Thinking of overwriting Firefox 3 on Firefox 2?. DON’T DO IT or you will end up with losing all your add-ons like me :(. Check this post as your guide for installing Firefox 3 without any headache.

4-If lifehacker can release Firefox 3 guide with a bunch of tips, then how is it possible for mashable to left behind. They have also summed up some tweaks as well as revealed some new cool features included in the latest version.

And Last but not the least

5-If you are dissatisfied with the default theme of Firefox 3 or if you are the type of person who prefer Windows XP look over Windows Vista{in other words, if you share my taste } and considering to revert to Firefox 2, I would suggest to just change the theme and it will become old in look but new in improvements and functions…Check this.

I think that’s enough for now to digest. You can expect more posts like this in near future. I am wrapping up this post with a beautiful Firefox 3 Evolution Wallpaper:

Available in these resolutions:

Presented in the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference, held in California, this handset is based on Symbian S60 platform. Told as Nokia’s first touchscreen handset, codenamed ‘Tube’, the big one from Nokia expected to be released end this year, because there going also some high-ends to be released then and a healthy competition is likely to be created. Although Tube appears almost as an iPhone copy, with the only noticable exception of Nokia’s logo, iPhone has readily been challenged by Nokia, hence called the Tube iPhone Killer. It will be interesting to see an iPhone copy going to ‘kill’ iPhone.
Nokia seems quiet an aggressive guy in a mood to outclass the another guy iPhone who has been quiet successful so far but a ‘not-giant’ in the world of handsets which is dominated very much by the former. And because of this there are received some strict signals from Nokia.

Comparing the sales which iPhone had in the last six months with that of Nokia’s, in the very words of Forum Nokia’s vice president, Tom Libretto:

“We’ve done that since we’ve had dinner on Friday”.

Note that the sales magnitude of some days of Nokia included all of Nokia’s models while its iPhone alone the model on the other side which took almost half a year to come to the sales point equalling the former. Such an ‘expert’ comparison, by a man of such designation? What could be said about it.
The Tube will have 3G connectivity and java support, features which the iPhone lacked. No words for the exact date of shipment and price yet.

Click the Filter tab, go to Distort and then click Spherize.

The Spherize titled window appears showing the preview of the effect. Inside this window beneath the preview are two buttons for zooming in/out the preview. Also, in this window, there is a slider called amount slider, drag that slider to your desired amount of distortion. There is a mode bar with other spherizing types, I left it for you to check them out yourself.

Click OK. Tada!

Here note that the amount of distortion ranges from -100 to 0 to 100. Moving from 0 to the left gives your image a concave effect. This concave effect goes on increasing as we drag the slider towards the negative extreme -100 until we reach it, the point where the concave effect is maximum. Same goes for the right side with the only exception of effect which here should be of course, convex.

I spherized the Tower of Pisa with the convex effect leaving the concave part for you.

This post is aimed at having fun with the very basics of Photoshop. I see myself as a beginner photoshop user. This great program can much easily be learn playing with it like that in this post. Make your thoughtful comments did you like the post and how did I demonstrated in the post? Should I continue with it?

Opera is consistently on its way to top in the world of mobile browsers for which till now it has proved to be the best. Their Opera Mini 4.0 released back in November 2007 gained much attention, claiming for the Opera mini 4.1 browser’s increasing popularity (users estimated to be around 40 million). Now it’s time for upgrading to Opera Mini 4.1, which is in beta stage for the moment right now. Let’s come to the useful features which are included in this beta release and should be of interest to you.
1- 50% increase in speed than the previous release

Opera has upgraded it’s servers for providing faster browsing experience. Pages are first downloaded to the servers, there they compressed to around 90% and then send to the phones. Because your internet connection and the mobile phone type you are using have their impact on the speed, you can best experience the 50% more speed than Opera Mini 4.0 if you use the same connection and phone type with this new release as with Opera Mini 4.0.

2- Google Mobile search and URL Auto-Completion

The start page of the browser has the URL field to be typed in and search can be made for a word in the same URL field, the search system is powered by Google. A useful yet innovating feature in the mobile browsers is the Auto-Completion of the URL field. Suggestion of the web addresses are based on the web history and bookmarking.

3- Type a web address without going to the start page

The URL field can also be accessed without going to the start page by entering ‘Menu’ in the bottom left of the screen and then ‘Enter Address’. The URL field will appear on the top of the screen.

4- Search for a word in a web page

Go to ‘Menu’, ‘Tools’ and ‘Find In Page’. Type in the word you want to find on the web page you are at the moment.

5- Save web pages to view them offline later on

This feature shows it’s importance when you are having signal problems and encountering frequent disconnections, so that you can save web pages that you want in a short time when there is a connection, there maybe a reason other than that. The point here is that you are enabled to view web pages offline.

6- Upload and download files from Opera Mini 4.1 Beta

Users having phones supporting the JSR-75 specification, are enable to download and upload files from and to the web. Now you can upload your picture or other images to the social site you are a member of, attach a file with an e-mail, upload a short clip for online viewing, download an image, a clip, an audio file or a tone for your mobile, all right from your Opera Mini 4.1 Beta. Isn’t it a great browser to have on your mobile phone?

Honestly speaking, Opera has no match in mobile phone browsing. So, why wait, download it now!
