Canon IXY Digital 25 IS a.k.a Canon Powershot SD770 IS. I recently purchased this small yet powerful digital camera from a Canon Dealer in Hong Kong. This 10 megapixel devil is really very very small, seriously.

Let’s see some features that i now know about. Canon IXY Digital 25 IS, wherein IS stands for Image Stabilization is a 10megapixel camera and supports 3x optical zoom. It has a small 2.5inch LCD Display and has a slim and a stylish design. The camera comes under the category of Ultra Compact digital camera. Sounds nice

I checked the resolution today. It’s pretty big with max resolution at 3648×2736 and min at usual 640×480. What’s most amazing feature of this camera is it’s boot time. I pressed on/off button and Tadaaaaannn…. What did it take? Almost 1 second as i can recall. It’s good! Anyways…other good feature is that this camera has this Face Detection Technology - well something that shows squares on faces specially while you are taking group pics, etc. The main purpose is to focus more on face of the person rather than that much lighted area behind you! And that reminds me of the red eye correction. So no more red eyed vampires in my pics!

Also what i need is the motion detection sensor. I clicked some pics of the fast moving cars, just for the same reson and this sensor works pretty well so far! And lastly and most importantly, Canon IXY Digital 25 IS has a DIGIC III Processor. It provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction. Humm. I don’t know how much noise it used to make, but can’t hear any on this machine! And yes!!! It does shoot movie as well. Though not a huge quality work in there but still pretty good! High Senstivity (ISO 1600) and the battery needs charging after 300+ shots. Can’t recall. Well that’s the most important features you should know about if you are looking forward to buy this camera.

This is how Canon IXY Digital 25 IS looks!

One more thing though. The camera comes with 32 MB card, as i recall. Believe me, that’s useless. Throw that away and get a 8GB card for your camera. Get Kingston 8GB SDHC Class 4 memory card and you should do fine. I can take 3000 pics without worrying about any space.

Hope you liked my “not so good” review on Canon IXY Digital 25 IS 

You heard that right. Now you can change the looks of probably all big sites by just using Firefox.

If you do not know what Firefox is or if you do not have it then first of all i pity you! Secondly, i think i should help you get one. Click on this foxie and download this wonderful browser. >>>>

Anyways, what all you need is a firefox addon named Stylish. Install it, Enable it and then restart your Firefox browser!

Once you have restarted your browser, you need to visit Userstyles.org. You will find stylesheets for many applications and websites. Browse your way through and find stylesheets of all the websites you visit to.

I have redesigned the looks of GMail, Google Images, YouTube, Wikipedia, Firefox About Blank Page, Yahoo! and many others… There is such a long list on userstyles.org, you can really find every major site in there!

Installation Instruction: Just visit the desired website’s style page and click on “Load into Stylish”. That’s it. Once you again visit that site again, all the looks will be changed!

I am adding screenshots of some sites which i stylized. Here are few of them:

Clearly, as you can see, i am a lover of dark colored themes. You can find many more themes in userstyles.org. I am not sure, perhaps there maybe other websites providing these stylesheets, will have to find out!

Anyways, there is nothing stopping you now from redesigning your favorite websites like Google, Yahoo, Orkut, Facebook etc! Go Crazy and have fun!

My green hulk friend, Robert a.k.a Rob a.k.a an0n, and i were having a conversation and he told me about this great new search engine kinda thing called “SearchMe.com“. I initially thought that it must be some another directory or something similar. But he specifically asked me to watch the video. So i did! And it’s damn interesting thing. Now that i like it, i think you should too watch the video. So here it is….

This is what i call future of search engines. This is what they should look like. We see what we search for. The video must have explained it all to you but for those who didn’t had time for watching it, well, as and when you start typing in the search bar, the site shows you some relevant categories to your query. When you click on the specific category, instead of the normal web results with an anchor text and small description, you instead see the complete web pages as an images. And the results show up in form of images lined up after one another, just the way songs do in iPod or Apple iTunes. Anyways, you can click the image to go to the web page itself. Or you can move the cursor to the bottom of the image and it will show you the information regarding the concerned site. Pretty cool, isn’t it!!!

Anyways, SearchMe.com is in Beta right now. Just signup for the invitations. If you get your Beta invitation, then enjoy the new era of “Searching The Web”. Else youhave to be satisfied with the following image itself. Good luck and Good day!!!
