Spell checking text fields just became sleeker with "Spellify"
Want to make it easier for visitors to your web page to fill out text boxes without fear of spelling mistakes? Spellify is a versatile spell checking solution that lets users spell check text boxes on your web sites . The users just type the words/sentence they want to be spell-checked and if there's an error, out pops a small dialogue box with proper spelling-suggestions. Password fields are automatically ignored. You can also specify Spellify to ignore special text fields if you want to. There is no need to press the "Go" or "Check" button or nothing.
The current version of Spellify is compatible with most of the front running browsers in the market including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.

Photoshop plugin of the day: Icon Plugin by Sibcode
by Naser Hossain Dec 26th 2007
Anyone who uses Adobe Photoshop regularly has probably learned to both love and loath Adobe's signature product. Despite being the top-contender in the image editing business, Photoshop is still missing some features.
For example, out of the box, Adobe Photoshop has no option to save files as .ICO or icon files. One option is to make a bitmap (.bmp) image first and then rename it to .ico . However that creates a problem with icon backgrounds occasionally. Then there are the more expensive additives or plugins. But now you can make, edit and save icon files with Photoshop without spending a single dime using the Icon Plugin by Sibcode.

Why choose Mowser for mobile transcoding over Google?
Probably the most popular web-site mobilizing services are Google Mobile and Skweezer. Mowser is a less popular service, but it might be the best of the bunch. We first checked out Mowser earlier this year, but a recent article from Mowser creator Russel Beattie made us take another look.

PopURI lets you ego surf in style, and a few scoops more
All of us love to stroke our own ego and what better way to do that than to egosurf?You know, the obsessive need to follow your own web stats on a daily, or even hourly basis?
PopURI, a slick looking web-service which serves the ego surfing set, in a simple and straightforward manner.
PopURI is similar to Xinu, Feedburner or Mint but, unlike the previous three, PopURI has most of the geek-stuff truncated. What is left is pure, ego-boasting, web-site ranks served fresh by a service with a wacky domain name.

ByWiFi: Convert and watch videos on your mobile
There have often been times, while travelling for long, boring hours, that we've wished we had the means of downloading and watching popular videos on youtube right in our mobile screen. Most people own largely 3gp enabled phones and the only way to watch videos on the fly is if the videos are pre-converted and transferred to the mobile beforehand. With a poor unlimited GPRS packages, it isn't quite as possible to stream from the Youtube Mobile site either. Then one day we came across ByWifi. This web-based video transcoding/conversion service has a strangely misleading name, but their service is without a doubt one of the most useful ones we've come across.Simplify the task of finding past web-searches with "My Last Search"

No matter what sort of an internet user you are, full time, part time, addicted/allergic to the internet, you must've searched for online content once in a while. Internet searching is a habit every bit as integral to our online presence as our breathing. Now tell me, how many time have you come across a situation in which you need to look back into the mirror of time and say, find what were ...Roll your own Dj turntable on your pc with "Scratch"

Who doesn't like to party to a nicely scratched song once in a while, huh? Well at least most people do (disregarding exceptionally dance-o-phobics). Getting in groove is just the way to keep in shape, both meta-physically and psychologically. However, the role of a Dj has so far been restricted to folks with polo hats and huge headphones hanging from one of their ears. The oddly general folks ...
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
