The very hard working people over at php architect have created Beeblex — a PHP search engine. Use it to search for articles, blog entries, and just about everyplace where PHP is discussed.
The Beeblex page also has a blog roll, so you’d always find some interesting link each time you drop over.

Here is what Web 2.0 really is. Web 2.0 is all the sites which are based on user interaction and contribution. User [...]

Google provided their testimony before the Committee on International Relations of the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday.
Reading through the introduction, I come to the conclusion that Google is on a self-defeating goal here. They claim that google.cn is an initiative to spread the availability of information to the Chinese.
I have never once on this [...]

It is amazing. I am impressed with the functionality and the ease of use of Google chat. No need to download any software or configuring gaim. Just click on any name and start yapping…

Like I had posted before, I recently bought myself an Acer 2312 TravelMate notebook. It’s time to rave about the machine.
The 2312 comes equipped with 256 mb DDR memory, which coupled with its 1 mb L2 Cache and 1.4 ghz processing power is pretty fast. It has a 15″ TFT screen. You get a DVD-reader-CD-writer [...]

I wonder why most of things google makes are first made available for the windows platform. Considering that they run Linux servers themselves, this move of theirs is a turn-off for me.
Anyway, in the traditional google standard, the google talk IM has been released for windows. But there is hope for linux users. Especially if [...]

Found a great story on Wired that confirmed my belief. Notebooks are getting too hot to handle. And no I don’t mean by way of their specs, I mean their surface termperature.
According to the story, 45 degrees Celsius is considered to be optimal threshold in the industry. The reson for som much heat being generated [...]

People just can’t get off from the “Let there be light” scenario. Taking inspiration from here is the Anti-Spyware Coalition, which claims that it shall soon pronounce “Let there be a definition, of spyware”.
The coalition comprising makers of anti-spyware software will release a common lexicon and a definition soon.
But why wait for their definition? You [...]
