My two cents on the new Google layouts
Lately Google started to change the layout of all its products to the so called Google+ layout. Actually its not a layout specially made for Google+ but rather it was the first product to use this new theme. Well, i don’t like this new layout but it really didn’t bothered me too much either. This [...]
Two words about the new Google interface: Its awful
Google rolled out its new search interface and i already started to hate it. I don’t know what was in their mind. Did they try to copy Bing ? Because Bing is awful too. That’s why i don’t use it. Apart from the odd colors they’ve put the URL’s in the search results at the [...]
To my chain letter loving “friends”
Chain letters are not new, they exist for a long time, even before computers were invented. They had a specific target audience and didn’t really bothered that many people. But now when every monkey has a computer and has access to Facebook or an IM application they’re starting to become annoying. Just few minutes ago [...]
Facebook and Farmville. Give me a break
I would like to see all those people who send me Farmville gift requests working one week at a farm! I bet they wouldn’t like farming so interesting anymore. When you have to work all day long on the crop fields or have to clean the crap of the farm animals (btw farmville fans … [...]
Gmail is down! How to check if it is really down or its just your connection
As i’m writing this post Gmail is down. This is very annoying as both regular Gmail and the Google Apps version seems to be affected. I can’t check my email at all. At first i thought it is only my internet connection playing some weird games. But its not. Gmail is really down. Twitter is [...]

Bye bye Adobe Reader! I need no bloatware!
I’ve just uninstalled Adobe Reader and hopefully i won’t have to install it again. I was very annoyed with this piece of bloatware. I’ve made a full reinstall of my computer and i needed a PDF viewer to read some e-books. Right away i went to Adobe’s site and tried to download Adobe Reader. But [...]
Google Chrome’s popup blocker sucks!
I’m having difficulties working on Chrome lately. I’m using a webpage that constatly spawns popups for reminders and my problem is that Chrome blocks these popups. And it shows the notice that a popup has been blocked only for a few seconds. If you are not quick enough you have no way to see the [...]
How to make a brand hated, with newsletters
The newsletter is a good marketing and promotional tool. If used correctly. If not it can lead to adverse effects, like a deep disgust to your brand from the users part. Thats the result of tricking users to subscribe to your newsletter, if you abuse sending newsletters (send many) and provide no means for the [...]
Default browser in Windows. What is it for?
I don’t know why Microsoft invented the concept called default browser if they aren’t using it anyway. Let’s make this clear. My default browser is Firefox. Almost any application knows this and it is used by default to open html files and web addresses. But not Microsoft applications. For example the bloatware called Live Messenger [...]
The most annoying website plugin
Some people believe that they can add value to their site just by adding plugins to the page that disturbs the users. For example a plugin provided by snap.com which displays a snapshot of the link you are hovering. For me this is the most disturbing thing that happens when i’m browsing. I frequently hover [...]
Two annoying Chrome issues
I’m using Chrome heavily lately for work and for regular browsing.
