Microsoft Photosynth

Posted on November 11, 2006 by HMMaster

Microsoft PhotosynthPhotosynth is finally available to the public! Don’t know what is Photosynth? It is basically a software that generate 3D images using your 2D photos! For better description, read it here or you can watch the videos here. I haven’t try it yet, but it is available at Photosynth’s website. To run Photosynth, you need to have Internet Explorer 6 or 7 (since it requires you to install ActiveX)

Microsoft is going to release their own MP3 player named Zune next Tuesday (14 Nov 2006). In conjunction of the new MP3 player, Microsoft released a new Windows XP theme which is the Zune theme. It is basically a black version of Royale, the Windows Media Center theme. You can download the theme here. If you need more information about Zune, check Zune.net.

Add Custom Search Engine for Firefox 2

Posted on November 6, 2006 by HMMaster

Recently, Microsoft just released the final version of Internet Explorer 7. One of the feature that I like about IE7 is the ability to add custom search engine in your quick search bar. But Firefox doesn’t have this feature, which is kinda bad. Both IE7 and Firefox 2 support the OpenSearch standard. The only easy way to add new search engine is to use Mycroft. But some of the search engines are out of date and would not work. Fortunately, I manage to find a Firefox extension that allows you to add your own custom search engine. The extension is OpenSearchFox. It is easy to add a new search engine using OpenSearchFox. All you need to do is to right click at the search box and select “Add OpenSearch plugin”. But please remember that this extension is only available for Firefox 2 and above. So, for older Firefox user, you have no choice but to use Mycroft. (or you can update your FF to ver2 ;))
