by on

Google, by default, displays only 10 search results per page. While 10 may not be as bad, sometimes these top slots get occupied by irrelevant links and the actual, useful stuff can get buried deep within the subsequent pages. gInfinity is a Chrome extension that eliminates the need to navigate to next pages in Google search results, by pulling as much as up to 100 results on the first page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and the following ten results will be displayed, and if you continue scrolling further, the process will be repeated until a total of 100 results are displayed on the very first page.

The revamped design of Google Reader is now considerably different compared to the classic look, and does not allow you to share like before. Anything that you share is now going to happen via a +1 to Google+. Yesterday, we covered a stylesheet fix for Google Reader that addressed the spacing issue, but if you want the old sharing options back, check out ReaderSharer. It is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to view your shared items and those from the people you follow. It will also display whether an item has been shared or not.

Just about all top browsers support tabbed browsing and it is possibly one of the best things to have come to browsers. The thing is that while everyone loves tabbed browsing, they may not like how it behaves when opening links. Some of you might not mind if a link you click opens a page to the right of the current tab but others might find it annoying and would prefer it open at the very end. Tab Position Customizer, a Google Chrome extension, lets you personalize the behavior of tabs so you can get them to open just the way you want. By default, Chrome opens new tabs to the right of the current tab, while staying on the current webpage. This extension changes this default setting by offering you with different tab opening and activating options, such as first, last, right and left of the current tab. Read More

Do you wish to opt-out of online tracking? Harvesting browsing information and cataloging a user's preferences is something certain websites have been doing for quite a while now, in order to deliver 'a more personal web experience'. While that may be so, cautious surfers on the internet have always been troubled by an anonymous party saving and analyzing their data. Mozilla's Firefox browser comes bundled with a 'Do-Not-Track' privacy setting, but Google and other search engines seem to override it and continually track online searches and other activities. Google Privacy Firefox add-on shows tracking-free links or can replace the tracked links, supporting Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Facebook and Bing. Read More

Motorola Photon 4G is a high-tier Android phone that was able to score a huge fan base right after developers were able to achieve root and a custom recovery.

Ballerx43, Senior XDA member, after spending a whole lot of time with Atrix 4G Dev community finally figured out the method to enable voice and video chat on Google Talk installed on Motorola Photon 4G. The method, for now, isn’t an easy single click one and requires the user to have ample command over ADB etc. Read More

Google+ Now Available For iPad And iPod Touch

Google released Google+ with just one aim in their mind, to take over Facebook. In this age of social networking it does make a lot of sense to target a field as widely used and appreciated as social media. But it was very unlike Google when the service was announced to be invite-only at first. That could have been because it was still in beta testing phase and maybe the folks over at Mountain View wanted everything to be perfect for the actual launch. Another major shocker came when the Google+ app was only released for iPhone, ignoring all other iDevices (iPad and iPod Touch). Thankfully this situation has now been rectified with the app becoming available for all iOS devices yesterday. Read More

Change the Default Search Engine In Windows Phone 7 [How To]

Leave a comment
Some of us today have become so addicted to search engines that sometimes the impulse is there to look for your lost pair of socks on Google! Due to this essential role of search engines, many web browsers come integrated with search engines. You simply have to go to your browser’s address bar and key in any word you want to search. This is a time-efficient tool as you don’t have to go all the way to the search engine’s website and search from there. Being a pretty slick OS, Windows Phone 7 uses Internet Explorer as its default web browser and Bing search comes integrated with it. But if you are more of a Google or Yahoo fan, you can change this setting using a little registry tweaking. Read More

[How To] Receive Updates For Side Loaded Market Apps From The Android Market Client

by on

When you side-load an Android Market app that is unavailable in your regional variant of the Market (Google+ or Google Maps, for instance), it isn’t included in the My apps list within the Market client on your device and hence, the client does not notify you when an updated version of the app is released. So, to keep your side-loaded apps up to date, you have to go through the ordeal of searching for and downloading APKs for every update that said apps receive on the Market. You could always use Market Enabler to spoof your network / location and download the app directly from within the Market app but the app requires your device to have root access. After the break, we explore a simple 3-step workaround that will allow you to link your side loaded Market apps with the Android Market mobile client so that you may receive timely and/or automatic updates for each, without requiring you to root your device.

How To Improve The Quality Of Your Contact’s Live Tile Picture

One of the best features that Windows Phone 7 offers is Live Tiles. You can pin up any of your contacts to your home screen and stay connected with them with just one touch. Every time you see Windows Phone 7 depicted somewhere, it is the image of Live Tiles that is mostly used. They are a trademark of sorts for WP7. But it is a major turn off that in real life, the picture quality on a live tile is not as good as the original picture you used. There is a reason for it, and the issue has been tracked down to Google compressing your photos while syncing, thereby reducing the quality and resolution. So here’s the workaround for this little problem. Read More

The Nexus One, was Google’s first flagship Android phone manufactured by HTC. The phone came with a stock looking Android 2.1 Éclair firmware and was one of the hottest phones of its time. If you’re familiar with HTC, you must be familiar with their custom Sense UI for Android.

So if you own a Nexus One and are a fan of the Sense UI, this ROM is worth looking at. Read More

The developers over at Google certainly aren't having much time off these days. With Google+ just released merely days ago, they have come up with another ambitious app called “Pool Party”.
