The new look of Firefox would take me some time to get used to but it doesn’t look bad. As far as memory goes it does seem to be working a bit smoother but it seems to still use lots of memory but that is kind of hard to avoid. The “amazing bar” actually annoys me a bit. I don’t appreciate random sites showing up when I know exactly what I am looking for. Specially if someone is snooping through my history this just makes it easier for them. I think that could of been implemented as a smart search form instead of putting it at the address bar. But that is just my opinion. The product itself is great and I completely recommend it.

People believe that the Dot Com era is over and the Internet Boom is history. I disagree, every few years we have a new boom. Google was one of the first big booms that came along with BitTorrent technology. And lately is the massive waves of Social Networking sites. If you have an idea and it doesn’t come out to the fullest then wait a few years, re-polish and try it again. If you don’t believe me then read about how Wikipedia failed once but second or third was the charm.

The best way to make an impression on a school is through your SAT scores. Every school wants smart students and one of the few ways in which they can tell you apart from the thousands of other students is by your SAT scores. The only way to do good in the SAT is by studying. There is no secret code or secret memorization techniques for the test. There is one big tip that everyone should follow when taking the test. If you don’t answer a question then you don’t lose points. All our lives we have learned to fill in the whole test because maybe we might get lucky and get some bonus points. The way the SAT was designed is that there is no extra points. If you are not sure about a question and don’t have an educated guess then skip it. If you are good in one of the three subjects then don’t worry much about it and try to focus on the other two. You must balance out your score with at least scoring high (over 600) in one of them and average is usually around the (500s). These considerations of high, average and low defer from each school you apply to. If you are applying to Ivy League Schools then the average becomes 600 and anything beyond 650 would be considered high.

Depending on the school you are applying to, you might be required to take the SAT II or subject based tests. These are extremely hard and I would only suggest to take them if you really think you are good at that subject or it is a requirement. The Math I test of these is exactly how the regular SAT is but with more questions and less time to do the problems. If you are considering taking one these tests then go ahead, you really don’t lose anything and it will just make your profile stronger.

The day of the test make sure you ate something for breakfast because it is the longest test of your life. Try taking some snacks with you for when you have breaks. Maybe a bottle of water or some juice, soda, whatever you need to stay energized. Get plenty of sleep before the test because you do not want to fall asleep or be extra tired for the test. It is meant to drain you. As a matter a fact, many questions are similar to previous ones but you might get them wrong because of how tired you are and those are dummy points you lose. Remember to schedule your SAT test early so you have plenty of time to re-take it in case you think you need to or if that was your original plan. It is not a bad idea to take the test twice, it usually improves your score by at least 50 points since you already know what to expect and how to expect it.

Good Luck To Everyone,

The fb-open-platform.tar.gz archive contains the tools necessary to implement Facebook Open Platform — including the API, FBML (Facebook Markup Language), FBJS (Facebook JavaScript), and FQL (Facebook Query Language) — in your own environment

This might lead to more Social Networks opening up, some public and some private. It is bad for people who have been investing in social networks and now have this new resource available. This also reminds me of the time part of the source code was leaked but not very useful.

In the same way it is possible to send a text message to certain numbers and that would forward it to an email address. In case you don’t have email on your phone (like me with my blackberry) you could just text that phone number and add the details and all the sudden you could send emails from your phone. It is simple and useful if you use it right. check the list provided in Wikipedia and Google for other SMS Gateways in case those don’t work for you or you are looking for a more specific less known cell phone carrier.

The box itself only costs $100 dollars and it is available to regular users that pay the monthly fee to order movies by mail. It is said that it is easy to install and use. You only need a broadband wired or wireless connection to use it. The quality of the movies isn’t great and no where near High Definition. But in a few years if broadband grows and Netflix could work out something with the studios then this might be the greatest product of all times. People want things on demand. This would be revolutionary, the fact that you could pick between 100,000 movies (old and new) and have it in your Television at the time you desire is great. With this I could picture them selling them to users in a way where it would store the movie to system in a better quality. I see great improvement to this.
