USB flash drive portable browsers

Posted by glewoCROW 5:05 PM, under ,,,, | No comments


flashdriveHave you ever been some place other than your home on your computer? If your answer is anything other then yes, you need to stop being a computer hugging hippy and go outside, get a whif of some fresh air, step on some dog crap and accidently run over a cat. It’ll do you some good. Anyways, have you visited someone somewhere and while using his/her/its computer, you realized you didn’t know a password because it was saved on your browser, or you wanted to show your friend that one cool website with the non-Asian ninjas, but it was in your bookmarks, or you wanted to use an extension you had installed on your browser that got rid of homosexual ads? Well you can. It’s called portable browsers, a.k.a a browser on your USB drive.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, which I highly recommend, you can download the portable browser hiya: I’m a link.

If you’re an apple fanboy or just like safari, you can download it’s portable version hiya: I’m a link too.

If you use Internet Explorer, you must have some sort of brain blockage and need to fall off a cliff.

Some great features of these portable browsers are:
  • you can take your bookmarks with you
  • although probably not a good idea, for those of you that happen to always kill the braincells holding your passwords, you can take the saved one’s with you
  • take all your extensions with you
  • keeps your information stored on the flash drive instead of the computer you are using

Yummy!

LCG X-PLORE - The Best File Manager for Symbian

Posted by glewoCROW 1:36 AM, under ,, | No comments

I have got this strange habit; the moment, I find something very good and useful, I start to search for a better and more useful alternative. Most of the time I succeed and the process continues. But sometimes, the search becomes endless as in the case of X-plore. After searching and trying many file manager apps (like FExplorer, SeleQ, FileMan etc), I can easily say that no one matches X-plore. Be it usability (Ease of use), functionality (No. of options) or customization X-plore outperforms every other application in its category. X-plore is available for Symbian series 60 phones (All versions). Besides the regular functions, some unique features of X-plore are:

1. The ‘File’ menu is unique in X-plore; you can open a file either, through system’s default application or through X-plore’s built in default application.

2. You can view stored offline HTML web pages in X-plore (A feature, not available even in some high end Smartphones)

3. There is also a built-in Audio and Video Player in X-plore.

4. Microsoft Word files (.doc) can also be viewed through X-plore.

5. Images can be viewed in an in-built landscape viewer with very good zoom and smooth scroll functions.

6. There is a built-in Hex viewer and Editor for power users.

7. There is a built-in ZIP, JAR and RAR file viewer and extractor.

8. There is also a file compression Utility (Compress files in ZIP format) in x-plore.

Whew! This much functionality in a single, little application. If you think, it’s not a big deal then name any single computer software that can perform any five (Out of 8), of the above described functions.
