Personas In Firefox







Some of the popular personas on firefox

Do you use firefox? If yes, then do you use Firefox personas? Personas are what themes in Firefox could never be: methods to change the look and colours of Firefox at the click of a single button without trying to change the overall browsing experience. I highly recommend choosing from the thousands of available personas and dressing up your browser according to your mood.

Beware tough, if you use linux, or a system with low memory, you might have trouble using it. I tried using it in linux but could not get it running properly to my satisfaction. The colours would only half load, and no amount of reinstalling/changing the persona could coax the browser to wear the persona properly. It might have something to do with the low memory on that machine also, because I see no reason for it not to work otherwise. Suggestions are welcome.

Gurgaon

Since around a week I am in Gurgaon, the technology capital of North India. Some quick observations: 1. Gurgaon is DLF. DLF is Gurgaon. They have built the whole freakin' township. Everything else is just support and built after that. 2. The public transport cannot be called worse than anywhere else in India. Because it doesn't EXIST. 3. Well ok, that was an overstatement. But really, there are no buses. The Gurgaon metro is still being built. The Delhi metro just extends till HUDA city center and is the only saving grace. Auto rickshaw wallahs are robbers. 4. Delhi is not that far off, thanks to the Delhi metro's extension. I have no idea how Delhites coped before the metro. Seriously. Cars, I believe. Couldn't see the famed T3 at the Delhi airport. Perhaps when I take off from here..

Please click on the Image to enlarge it. What seems so special about the screenshot? It seems that somebody just clicked on "start" in windows. So whats the fuss and why am I writing a post about it? Well, it turns out that (surprise!) it is not windows at all, but an operating system called ReactOS . To quote the ReactOS site verbatim "ReactOS® is a free, modern operating system based on the design of Windows® XP/2003. Written completely from scratch, it aims to follow the Windows® architecture designed by Microsoft from the hardware level right through to the application level. This is not a Linux based system, and shares none of the unix architecture". ReactOS is doing something unimaginable to me till some time ago, reverse engineering the whole windows opertating system itself! . And all the while maintaining compatibility with windows. Right now it claims that it is in pre alpha stage, but already it has many features like remote desktop, e
