I previously wrote about Fluid which is an app that lets you create site specific browsers on a Mac. Turns out you can do the same thing in Windows as well with Bubbles. If you are tired of your browser that has 18 tabs open crashing while you are writing an email in Gmail, or watching the latest thing on YouTube, then Bubbles is for you.
Someone pinch me!!
Props to Geohot. Instructions can be found on his blog and on hackint0sh.org as always. Will try this on a few OTBs beginning of next week… Just wanna wait for the early adopters to report back their findings over the weekend.
Fake Steve Jobs has a classic post about the potential Microsoft-Yahoo merger called Monkey Boy’s three-legged race on his blog. Make sure you check this out. Here’s an excerpt:
But here’s the really dark part of all this. He knows it won’t work. He has to know this. He’s not stupid. The cultures will never fit together. And the deal is too big. It’s not manageable. And it’s completely anathema to Microsoft. It’s totally out of character for them. It goes against everything the company has ever stood for. Ballmer knows this, and he’s doing it anyway. Because this is exactly what every old-guard CEO does when all else fails. I mean it’s right there in the official playbook that you get in business school. And ultimately, smart as he is, Ballmer is an old-school kind of guy. He’s not really a tech guy. He has a mindset that was formed in Detroit, where he grew up. He’s a Big Three automaker kind of guy. And this is a Big Three move. It’s Ford buying Jaguar and Land Rover and Volvo because they can’t think of anything else to do.
BTW, Ford is currently looking to sell Jaguar and Land Rover which currently are the only two crown jewels in the group that are–though barely–making money.
The wonderful music blog mecca The Hype Machine has released their 2007 Zeitgeist. The Zeitgeist comes in three sections: The Best 50 Songs, The Best 50 Albums and The Best 50 Bands. It was compiled by extensive analysis of the data they collected from music blogs around the internet throughout 2007.
If you are into Indie, you owe it to yourself to check this out.
Awdio brings the music playing in many of the respected clubs, venues, festivals, etc. from around the world to your browser. Since there is always some kind of clubbing going on around the world at any given point in time, there is always something cool to listen to on Awdio. Montreal’s Stereo is rocking as I write this.
This is a very cool idea. I hope they stick around..
