Google Chrome 5 Beta

Google Chrome 5 Beta

If you’re using the stable version of Google Chrome, the latest beta release (Google Chrome 5.0.375.29 for Windows, Mac and Linux) will be a pleasant surprise. Here are 10 things you should try after installing Chrome 5 beta:

1. Google Chrome remembers zoom settings for each domain. Go to http://www.nytimes.com, zoom using Ctrl+ or Ctrl-, close the tab and reopen it.

2. Remove individual items from the history. Go to the History tab (Ctrl+H), click on “Edit items”, select the pages you want to remove and click on “Remove selected pages”.

3. The new bookmark manager is an HTML page that opens in a new tab. It looks better than the previous manager and it has the advantage that extensions will be able to add new features.

4. Google Chrome can synchronize themes and preferences, in addition to bookmarks.

Web Design Software Pick of the Week: Yahoo! YUI Library

Web Design Software Pick of the Week: Yahoo! YUI Library

Sometimes the easiest way to learn a web design technique is to borrow from someone else. Now, a lot of designers will get angry if you borrow their code, but Yahoo! has put together an entire library of scripts and CSS that you can use to create interactive websites. There are two versions of the YUI framework. Version 2 has been available since 2006 and is very robust and proven.

If you’re working on sites that need interactivity, but also need to be very reliable, then this is the version you should use. Version 3 is what they call their “next generation” library. It hasn’t been as widely tested, and includes things that might be more cutting edge. But if you’re building sites that need more advanced (often beta) interactivity options, this is the version for you.

The Other Really Cool Feature in Photoshop CS5

The Other Really Cool Feature in Photoshop CS5

When Arthur C. Clarke first proposed his three laws of prediction, he admitted his last one was really just filler to round out the number.

Funnily enough, it’s this third law that people tend to remember most: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Adobe’s Content-Aware Fill feature in Photoshop CS5 may just be the perfect expression of this idea. The YouTube video demos feel like an impossible David Copperfield stunt.

Following a crude swipe of the mouse, the delete key becomes the ultimate creation tool. Brand new worlds spring into existence — trees, grass, rocks, and roads just appear as if they’d always been there. Frankly, it’s gobsmackingly amazing and, hardly surprisingly, has attracted most of the hoopla in the CS5 circus.

But the old dog actually has a few new tricks that could easily have slipped by you unnoticed. Puppet Warp is my new super-favorite.

What is Puppet Warp?

Puppet Warp is a completely different kind of image manipulation tool — beyond the traditional clone, scale, rotate, shear, and distort tools that we’re all accustomed to. Puppet gives your image a bendable, posable skeleton.

This is a big call, but I’m going to make it. Puppet Warp will be more useful to you than Content-Aware Fill.

Here’s how it works.

Apple greenlights browserless Firefox app for iPhone

Apple greenlights browserless Firefox app for iPhone

Apple has approved an application submitted by Mozilla that syncs history, bookmarks and open tabs with versions of the open source outfit’s Firefox running on desktop computers.

The Cupertino firm isn’t keen on letting other browsers run on the Jesus Phone – but the Firefox Home app has, somewhat surprisingly, been given the thumbs up by Apple.

Mozilla submitted its browserless Firefox to Apple’s app store police on 30 June.

Late yesterday it confirmed that the Jobsian troupe had opened their arms to Firefox Home and it can now be downloaded onto the iPhone and iPod Touch.

“Firefox Home uses your browser data, securely synced from Firefox on your desktop to the cloud, to let you search and browse quickly and efficiently,” said Mozilla.

“You can view the sites you want directly in Firefox Home, open them in Mobile Safari or share them with friends via email. Your Firefox data is private and only you have access to it.”
