Skreemr – “the Google of Audio”

Oh yes, another audio finder has been added to the short-to-medium list of audio downloaders. Ilavitverymuch. Just like the legendary audiogalaxy, you search for music using the web and download it using your browser or your download manager.

You maybe wondering why use Skreemr if there is Limewire, or WinMX, or IRC channels, or BitTorrent. Well, its because Skreemr is legal and its for free. It doesnt need Java to run. You do not have to install or set up ANYTHING. It just needs a browser. Yes, an internet browser. Type in skreemr.com, seach for a song, and click and download. Just so simple.

People who are in urgent need of a song but doesnt have any mp3 downloader in their laptops will really benefit from this great, great service.

Im not really knowledgable when it comes to all the technical stuff behind, but as far as I can tell, I really really REALLY love it. You do not have to leech from other users like Limewire and other downloaders, and you do not have to seed for your download speed to go high up. You just download it from the server directly using http or ftp.

So for my conclusion, Skreemr-rocks-BIGTIME.

Safari for Windows (still on beta)

Its exactly 12:15am and I should be sleeping by now. Well, I was trying to sleep since 10pm but my body clock wont adjust. Hehe. Ok, when my brother got home he tuned the TV to Bandila, that late news show in ABS-CBN. I was covering my head with a big pillow trying to sleep. But the television’s noise could still slip through the spaces between the pillow under my head and the pillow on top. I was startled when I heard the noun Micro$oft. So the first thing that came into my head was “Microsoft? In the news?”. So yes, being a normal tech savvy pinoy, I waited on standby to see the news about M$. When I heard Apple was featuring Safari for Windows my jaw dropped. And yes, with excitement, I ran to my computer (which was still online), and googled “Safari for Windows”. Saw Apple’s Safari site and as expected, headline was about Safari for Windows. Downloaded it for like 3-5 minutes which sized about 8mb and launched the installer.

Now I am here, typing in my wordpress blog about Safari. I dont want to spoil the looks and interface. I want you to see it for yourself. So sorry, no screenies.

Conclusion: Ilavit. I mean, the interface looks great, the text and bars are like based from the famous Linux’ desktop environment, KDE. Maybe just like Konqueror, or Opera in K/Ubuntu. Though the hotkeys greatly differs from those in Firefox. Like you press CTRL+TAB to switch tabs in Firefox, and you press CTRL+} or { which will require you to press the SHIFT Key. Middle-clicking a tab wont close it, not like in Firefox. BUT Safari features Private Browsing which will not record or save any history of your browsing when it is engaged.

I really love it. I cant wait for the major release. I know it would be muuuuuch better.

Ill be editing this post maybe tomorrow. For now, I better sleep.
