OF THE DAY

I was reading the article about the new Google's Operating system that will be launched in 2011, The Google CEO mentioned that the Chrome OS will be released in 2011 and the Google branded hardware will be ready in December.

I was reading an article on the Mashable.com about the best tips for having a better eye health and wanted to share it with you!You need to customize your work environment and adjust the reading angle. Also it's better to blink more often and take frequent breaks.

If you are a big Beatles fan you might already know that all their songs just became available on Apple’s online music store iTunes. They sold 2,000,000 songs in their first week on iTunes. Impressive numbers, isn’t it? One can’t deny, the long waiting while solving the trademark infringement between the Beatles’ corporation Apple Corps and Apple Inc. was worth it for both companies in the end.

BCS research found that 79.2 per cent of social media-using survey respondents help friends or family members make decisions about product purchases, compared with 47.6 per cent of non-contributors.

Eileen Brown, the social media expert, commented that customers have become "the new marketers" who drive the conversation about our brands online.

"Having a social media plan in place helps businesses to effectively connect with their customers," she said.

It seems as though "Christmas" is winning out and "Holiday" doesn’t stand a chance.

While under pressure from consumers, retailers across the country have been embracing "Christmas", as opposed to "Holiday."

Dick’s Sporting Goods alleviated a boycott by changing their spirit and their website. Before they incorporated “Christmas” they were deemed the most anti-Christmas of all. Good for you Dick’s and Merry Christmas to all.

Today I came across this new browser that has your world built in. You can chat, see your friend’s updates, share information and more, right from your browser, without leaving the current webpage you’re in, it’s really easy! RockMelt is built on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser; try it and see what you think.

If your favourite browser is Firefox, you can join The Mozilla community for their celebration. Today is the 6th birthday of Firefox, the second most widely used browser, with steady growth and 31.5% market share according to StatCounter.

The next major version of Firefox, Firefox 4, was originally scheduled to be launched by the end of 2010 but was recently delayed into early 2011. The new version will bring several important improvements: HTML5 support, redesigned user interface, multi-touch functionality, hardware-accelerated HD video and improved support for add-ons through Jetpack.

Looking forward to that!

Social Times made a selection of animation videos that I think are worth checking out. Grab some time and a coffee and enjoy watching these creative videos…. my favorites are Her Morning Elegance and Pixar Short – For The Birds.
