Google Chrome is a "must have"

-
There's no getting away from it. Google Chrome is the browser of choice.
A beautifully simple and bug-free browser that's just dying to get onto every single desktop on the planet.

I'm certainly using it already as my browser of choice. Partly because I'm admittedly a bit of a Google addict. In the sense that I loved Google from the moment they found exactly what I was looking for (no, not that) back in 2001 or something. And partly because I just can't wait for another browser to gain market share over Internet Explorer, and give Microsoft another reason to make Windows truly user friendlier.

If you haven't tried Google Chrome yet, go and get it :) Here it is:

Even if you don't have administrator rights on your PC chances are you can still install it. I could.

Now if you've already installed it and just happen to be thinking, like I did, that it would be nice to be able to make it look a tiddly bit different. And if you're not afraid of a bit of simple tweaking, go and download the Google Chrome theme manager XChrome here:

And here is a nice pack of 23 themes:

Enjoy the buzz of using a fast browser!

** UPDATE March 2015 ** WhatsApp now has a web interface, which you can use on all mobile devices except for iPhone. So if you have an Android device or Windows Phone, check out web.whatsapp.com  first as it may save you a lot of hassle! If you're on an iPhone however, please read on.. ** UPDATE March 2015 ** I implemented a nice way of using WhatsApp on my laptop and also staying in sync with WhatsApp on my iPhone. This will work with Android too (but you may prefer to use  web.whatsapp.com  instead). List of things you need: You must have a second SIM card (i.e. a second working mobile phone) that is not already being used for WhatsApp.  E.g. an old prepaid phone. As long as it has a working SIM card and you are able to receive an SMS message on it. A free program for your computer called BlueStacks, which you can get for PC or Mac at  http://www.bluestacks.com . ** UPDATE March 2015 ** Alternatives to BlueStacks are: AndY (free!) ; AMIDuOS ($10)...

How I Fixed Mac OSX Lion NTFS issue

-
After I upgraded my Macbook to OSX Lion, my NTFS-formatted USB drive would no longer mount... GREAT! %$#@ I use an free open source NTFS driver for Mac called NTFS-3G ( You can get it from SourceForge here - grab the dmg file). However NTFS-3G is built on top of a piece of software called MacFuse (part of the NTFS-3G installation)  and unfortunately MacFuse only provides a 32-bit interface, whereas OSX Lion has a 64-bit kernel. I found the explanation of the problem here . I was able to solve the problem when I came across a little gem on this site: http://www.fatframe.com/2011/07/25/macfuse-issues-mac-os-10-7-lion This guy has posted a custom compiled version of MacFuse, compiled for 64-bit. I downloaded this guy's custom compiled version (look for the link to the zip file half way down the page) and just installed it straight on top of my existing MacFuse version. Then rebooted. It solved my problem! I can now mount my NTFS USB drive and I have read/writ...
