Indian Browser - Epic

Share photos on twitter with Twitpic

The "first-ever web browser for India, the world's only antivirus browser" read the banner on the site http://www.epicbrowser.com/. Since it was based on mozilla, I quickly tried it on to see what the browser was about.

The first impression was good. The layout, although a dark setting, was impressive. The shortcuts to various settings at the left side, the short-cuts to sites on the new tab page and also the resize anchors at the four corners were different from the other browsers.

Overall the content of the browser, as the claim goes, is centered around India. Right from the logo, which is tri-colored to the font support for various Indian languages, there are a lot of skins also pre-loaded to chose to customize the look. The first claim of a "browser for India" is definitely right on.

Will be trying out the browser more in the coming days to see how it goes.

Update: Here is a news link to the release on The Hindu

    nice, cool browser to hang around with !

    like the resize handles on all the sides is good, although perhaps, the best is the "clear browsing data" icon, which is much simpler than remembering F12 + CTRL-R or CTRL+SHIFT+DEL.

    the language bar is nice, although i didn't know when it appeared until i clicked inside the editor. Does anyone know if this text font is same as what we see in "Google Transliteration"?

    the sidebar is moving a little faster for me :-)

    TODO, Timer etc. are exciting, not something every existing latest browsers thought of...quite novel.

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Pakistan match fixing is denied

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Pakistan match fixing is denied : A committee of Pakistan's parliament has summoned the country's cricket captain, coach and manager to discuss new match fixing allegations. "'The nation wants to know how the team lost to Australia,' Jamshed Khan Dasti, chairman of the parliamentary committee, told the BBC. Pakistani cricket has recently been free of match fixing claims He argued that Pakistan deliberately lost in the last group match to prevent India from reaching the semi-finals. Mr Dasti's committee has summoned coach Intikhab Alam, captain Younis Khan and Pakistan Cricket Board champion Ijaz Butt to a meeting on 13 October to clarify the allegations." You have got to be kidding me!!! Aren't there other things in Pakistan that need to be fixed!

Hurray for the vacation!

The kids almost jumped up as soon as we called them in the morning. What contrast from the going-to-school mornings! Just a mere whisper and they were up. Finally, it was the day they were counting down to. The day I would start my vacation and our family would start the journey to Kerala to meet their grandparents.  They had started the countdown at least ten days back with the ritual question "How many days more to go?". So I remember distinctly the 10,9,8... The question would be repeated both in the morning and in the evening although not necessarily restricted to two times a day. My eldest even prepared an elaborate check-list, complete with all the items that were needed to reach the destination. The check-list started with a "wake up" and went on for two pages. She had even illustrated it! (I was allowed to put it on the blog with a little blur effects.)  So today as soon as they woke up, they grabbed the check-list and ticked of the first item.

screenshot on android

I had been looking to take screenshots on my android for some time now. But couldn't find a way out without rooting the phone. So it was great to find another way, although a round about one. It suited me because I already had the java and android sdk in place on my work laptop. Yes, its a work around. And you can read about it here . Have also read that the next version of android, i.e 2.2 froyo, is supposed to have built in support with key combination press. Don't know how much of it is true.
