"OK Google"

Google promised that we'd get hands-free voice search in Chrome back at I/O 2013, and it's delivering today with the beta of its Voice Search Hotword extension for desktop Chrome 31 users.

As long as you're either sitting at Google's home page or have a new browser tab open, the add-on lets you start a search by saying "OK Google," much as you would in Android 4.4 KitKat. Anyone eager to move beyond mouse-and-keyboard queries can grab the extension today from the Chrome Web Store.

For those who have the Feature on your phone...well let me just tell you "I will be getting it this Christmas from Santa" .......I hope. lol

To All Yahoo Users

Yahoo! announced recently that it will be resetting all Yahoo! IDs that haven't been used for over 12 months come July 15th.

The move is an attempt to let new users get access to unused logins. If you have an account that you want to keep around but haven't used in a while, all you have to do is log in to any Yahoo! product with the username you want to keep. 

Yahoo announced it on its blog, saying, 

Over the last few months, we’ve made exciting changes to some of your favorite Yahoo! products, like Flickr, Mail, Weather, the Homepage and Search. Today, I’m excited to share with you our next big push: we want to give our loyal users and new folks the opportunity to sign up for the Yahoo! ID they’ve always wanted.

If you’re like me, you want a Yahoo! ID that’s short, sweet, and memorable like albert@yahoo.com instead of albert9330399@yahoo.com. A Yahoo! ID is not only your email address, it also gives you access to content tailored to your interests – like sports scores for your favorite teams, weather in your hometown, and news that matters to you.

So, how are we making these Yahoo! IDs available? We’re freeing up IDs, that have been inactive for at least 12 months, by resetting them and giving them a fresh start. In mid July, anyone can have a shot at scoring the Yahoo! ID they want. In mid August, users who staked a claim on certain IDs can come to Yahoo! to discover which one they got.

What if you haven’t logged into Yahoo! for over a year, but want to keep your Yahoo! ID? It’s easy. All you have to do is log on to any Yahoo! product before July 15th.

We’ve got a lot more in store that will make your everyday routines even more inspiring. We’re happy to have you as a part of the Yahoo! community!

 Even if you don't need the account, it may be a good idea to log in anyway, to protect the rest of your online identity.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Unreal Engine

One of my favorite games I want Square Enix to remake has to be Final Fantasy 7 the award winning game that raised up the market and scared the dreaming memories of every player who got the play the game. We have seen the potential of the remake from Square Enix themselfs when they lanched a demo of final Fantasy 7 to show of the new graphics of the playstation 3 but teasers like that makes the ultimate player and dreamer curious to what the game will actually function if they took it to the Unreal engine.

Use Microformats

Sometimes the simple things that are missing in someones blog or website intend to be the most important of them all to connect with the viwer and the author in a personal level.

Microformats are small patterns of HTML to represent commonly published things like people, events, blog posts, reviews and tags in web pages.

It lets you put high-class forms that can be useful to connect with your customers or visitors in a variety of ways such as feedback,comments,contact v-cards and much more.

Its really a very useful tool for those who don't know squat of HTML or XML
which could drive a nerd insane ( by nerd I mean me).
Microformats are accentials such as

• A way of thinking about data
• design principles for formats
• adapted to current behavirous and usage of patters
• XHTML highly classed
• A structure of development for blogers/website users
• An evolution revolution

 It solves problems that gives you simple steps to run and it also starts smooth with simplicity that is design for human first, not the other way around. The content and code that you can find is just like having to decorated a my space layout but without all the long code and it comes with your own costumed needs. Micro formats is the way to go.

The Most featured  which are found at there site is are HCard creator,HCalendar creator,HReview creator which will define the what you are looking for. The altimate tools to get you started to get a better connection in every way you want. Its simple,clean, and fast "Thats why we choose it as a top tool". Since simplicity  is important in a webpage, you want to add it in a seperate section on its own, this way the user wont get confused on what to fill out.

Here is an example of using there HCards with style

Artician

Just like other site such as Deviantart and Carbonmade make life a lot easier for artist around the world who are trying to develop a stylish portfolio for there clients or for there website. With the creative code links and easy uploads you can also have your every own free portfolio with RSS support of your site or blog "if you have one" and its called "Artician".

Artician is a friendly and easy system to use when it comes to creating a very simple yet stylish portfolio for your work and also expand your network of artist around the world wide web. This is the same techniques that deviant art uses to draw more artist to connect with others and share there art work.The cool thing about Artician is just the simple uploading ,if you have a deviant account already you can just log and sync your deviants account with artician and with just a few clicks "you can upload all your artwork and descriptions " what a wonderful idea for artician to make.

Just like google maps and other map sites show there visitors locations so can artician with its unique stylish widget which will let you know were the artist is coming from.This site surely beats carbonmade but it yet to catch up with deviant art since its the major art site for artist every were even the famous Pete Harrison (my future hunky boyfriend) displays his art work.

Another cool feature that Artician does is the ability to display your artwork in widget form for your site or blogs with a flash unique texture that makes people just want to click and scroll from left to right.I am well convinced that Artician is going to grow much faster than any other art site out there in the web and its not only because they have style and gloss but because they just keep on adding additional stuff and over time they keep adding more and more features that will make it the top 10 of the "ARTIST MUST HAVE" website.
