Are you running XP on your near to dead PC because Vista just won’t run in it? And are you also thinking of reverting from XP to 98 to gain some stability in performance? Now you don’t have to worry about performance if you have a flash drive because you can get performance boost with eBoostr™, which is like Vista’s ReadyBoost® technology, enabling you to reduce Start-up and application loading time by caching files to flash drive.

With eBoostr™:

* You don’t have to buy additional RAM to speed up your PC because flash-drive or any additional storage drive will work as an alternate of this.
* You just have to plug-in your flash drive in any computer you are working with after installing eBoostr™
* You can open your favorite apps and programs that you use frequently {like browser, email client, photoshop etc.} much faster as compared to occasional ones.
* You can run more applications at once on your laptop. Usually, laptop disk access time is slow and hence takes time to load applications.
* You can set up to 4 devices for smart caching simultaneously. Put flash drive, additional hard disks, removable media or any other medium for caching that will boost your PC performance for sure {Use the things that you already have instead of buying a new RAM}.

It is a shareware but doesn’t have a traditional 30 days limit. Instead it would run 4 hours on every system boot and then you would have to reboot the system to reuse it.

System requirements:

1. Windows XP {Both 32 and 64 bit}, Windows 2000, Windows 2003
2. USB 2.0 port or any memory card reader
3. Flash drive or any other compatible device with minimum 2.5 MBps random read speed{Don’t worry, new devices are faster than this speed}

AOL just announced that Netscape Navigator, the browser that launched the commercial Internet in October 1994, and that they acquired in November 1998 as part of their Netscape Communications Corp. acquisition deal for $4.2 billion, will die on February 1, 2008.

Netscape Navigator is currently at version 9. Recent surveys suggest that Netscape currently has only 0.6% market share among browsers, compared to Internet Explorer’s 77.35% and Firefox’s 16.01%. This is down from more than 90 percent of the market in the 90s, when the browser wars began, then the Microsoft antitrust trial took place, before IE took over as leading browser.

To me Netscape Navigator died a long time ago, the last version that counted was somewhere around version 4.5 or 4.7; everything went downwards from there on for Netscape as a browser.

Still, we mustn’t forget the success of the Mozilla foundations and its projects, like the Firefox browser, which spun off of Netscape in February 1998. The legacy of Netscape will live on through Mozilla’s projects.

So, again, support for existing versions of Netscape Navigator will cease on February 1, 2008. A cool thing AOL will be doing though is setting up an archive where people will be able to download older versions of Netscape, without any support.

Rest in peace Netscape Navigator, you can rest assured your role in internet history will never be forgotten.

Apple introduced Safari for Windows around six months ago calling it the fastest web browser that is almost twice as fast as IE 7 or Firefox 2.

Since then, Apple has released couple of minor upgrades for Safari 3 that are mainly bug fixes and the browser is still in beta stage.

We never heard of any third-party browser plugins being released specifically for Windows Safari and there’s practically little or no talk among the blogging community about Safari browser on Windows.

So did Safari manage to win any browser market share during the six month stint ?

I referred to the Google Analytics report (OS / Browser) and out the last 6 million visitors, only 8500 (0.15%) were using Safari on Windows.

The sample data may not be very big but it at least gives a reasonable idea about the possible market share of Safari 3 browser on the Windows platform.

I was a bit bored last night, so I decide to grab some of my high resolution wallpapers and make a few screensavers. I used Ultra Screen Saver Maker from Finalhit Ltd. It has some great features, and has a very low learning curve. A few clicks, a few files added and it compiles itself into a self extracting executable. If you get bored check it out.

Onto the good stuff. I’ll be releasing a screensaver every day this week as I build them. Today is Jessica Alba Unleashed. Over 25 images of Jessica Alba in high resolution. If anybody wants the original wallpapers by themselves, without the screensaver, just post a comment with a way to contact you. I’ll send them onto you.
