    Live Bookmarking in Google Chrome 

    It hasn’t been too long since Google Chrome was made available for third party extensions. Chrome development team has been receiving a lot of complaints on how Chrome is yet to support RSS.  Even though the latest version Chrome is in its 5th version,  we still don’t know when the browser is going to fully support RSS.  As they have made Chrome third party extension compliant, development team released an extension called “RSS Subscription Extension“.  It allows you to browse through RSS feeds and it comes with four feed readers (Google Reader, iGoogle, Bloglines and My Yahoo).  The only thing that’s missing from this extension is that the ability to subscribe to feeds through your browser.

    Luckily there is another extension called “RSS Live Links“.  Which exactly provides you with the ability to subscribe to feeds through the browser, just like Firefox or Internet Explorer.  This was the thing that was holding me back from switching Firefox to Chrome.  Finally, there is a tweak-around.

    If you’d like to have your RSS live feeds in your toolbar, all you have to do is to create a folder name called “RSS Live Links” in bookmark manager. Further instructions are available at the extension page.

    Google App Email: iPhone IMAP Problem & Solution 

    Recently, my school switched their emailing from their own to Google Hosted Email system. I have other Gmail accounts and I can access them through my iPhone without any problems.

    iphone-addmailSetting up your Google email account is an easy process, which is thoroughly explained at Gmail Support Site.  There are two ways you can access your to Gmail account through your iPhone. One of them is IMAP and the other is using POP access.

    The problem I had was a verification problem. Even though, I entered my information correct,  it would not verify my account and let me access to my emails. What happens is that it will try to verify the account without SSL, and a minute later it would fail verifying.

    From time to time,  I’d have the same problem with my old browser, Firefox 2.  What I’d do is to change my password through another browser then I’d be able to log in.  So i tried the same thing. This actually worked.  If you are having the same problem, you can try changing your password.

    As Google points out, when you are entering your username, make sure to include your domain address after your username. So it would like this “username@yourdomain.com”.

    Firefox 3.7 Default Theme Mockup Screenshots 

    Developers at Mozilla recently posted a wiki post about Firefox 3.7.  They posted couple of screen shots at Mozilla Wiki. Firefox 3.7 Windows Theme Mockup

    Personally I never liked how Vista looked even though I use it. You can click on the images to see them in full sizes.

    In my opinion, it looks a like a combination of other major browsers, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

    They removed the menu from the top bar and placed a menu and a setting icon next to internet search just like Google Chrome and Safari.  Apparently, this is going to affect how you get around in Firefox. They are becoming more similar to each other.

    Tabs are separated unlike the current version of Firefox, which I think it looks more like Opera.

    Here are the other two screen shots.

    You don’t need to wait until Firefox 3.7.  BoneyardBrew developed a theme that’s just like the mock up.  You can head over to his or her Deviantart page to download the theme.
