My C: Drive

I think my experience with Wampserver may clear some bottleneck which may drive web development newbie to crazy. I thought of trying out the wampserver 2.0 in vista. However i have already tried, but it didn't work properly as it should. After installing the Wampserver, I tried to request the http://localhost. But was thrown back with an error.

The important issue which ran to me was that “Why not the IIS may block the port on 80?” This question brought me hope to solve the technical mystery. I disabled the IIS services from the windows component, later restarted the apache server. I was able to get what I wanted.

Hope this solves to people who faced the same error like me.

It is on the top hit list on the developer’s arena. The Mozilla tab candy. My friend Voytek showed me the video about the tab candy project. I was awestruck and couldn’t even think how that was possible for the developers to think in tat perspective. All I can say is that they got a hell lot of brain. Okay enough dancing; let’s come to the details about the functionality of the “TAB CANDY”.

Actually it’s in the alpha stages right now. Hopefully it will be completely released in the Mozilla 4. Earlier browsers made it easy for the user to open multiple tabs in the same browsers, so that we may not have to navigate between windows. Though it was promising in the very beginning, the browser got cluttered with many tabs which introduced a little chaos in managing every tab. This issue was seriously taken up by the community which gave birth to tab candy effect. It allows to group more than one tab into a single tab. For example, suppose you are in a hectic quest on finding in buying a new laptop, you might have opened Dell, Sony, Acer, Hp, Lenovo etc. Simultaneously you wanted to open your mail box read the current news and some other pages. Now think of the situation how many tabs you might have opened. Now the tab candy comes handy, where you can group the entire Laptop search in the single tab called as LAPTOP and you can leave the rest as it is, so that you can clearly handle all the tabs easily. When you click on the master tab LAPTOP you might see the all the sister tabs which was grouped in that.


Another amazing factor introduced is the sharing a group of tabs with Mozilla sync. When some of your friends are working on a research project then you can share all your research done in the web with your friends by sharing the tab on which you are working on and similarly you can access your friends. Everyone is looking forward to the tab candy in live action.

Who would have thought an harmless beer will be the cause of  the biggest tech leak in recent history .well that’s what happened to Gray Powell an engineer at apple, he had accidently dropped or left the next generation iphone in a bar after a binge session with his friends .

The iphone which was left behind accidently landed up in the hands of gizmodo a gadget blog under the umbrella of gawker media.firstly the iphone looked like a 3GS but later it was found out to be a incognito iphone 4g after further investigation, the specs and feature that were found in the iphone were a lot different then the ones that are found in the current generation 3GS.

Whether this incident is a PR stunt or really an accident is quite murky ,but on the other hand apple has a well established market so they have no reason to create a hype over their new iphone.

This incident also reminds me of  the next harry potter movie script which was left behind forgetfully in a bar in London.Apple is the kind of company which has a knack  of keeping its unreleased product on a tight leash so this leak would have been a honest mistake by Gray Powell.

Gizmodo has also posted a letter from apple’s legal department which asks them to return the iphone back to apple so this may have really been an  accident.
