While you won’t be able to sense it at first, expect to feel a high frequency buzz from the direction of Redmond in the next few months. That’s the Windows 7 and Office group fearing the rise of a new juggernaut on low-cost computing hardware, ChromeOS.

ChromeOS may not be powerful, it may not play Far Cry and it may not run Microsoft Office but it’s a game changer. The underpowered laptops that limped along under Vista, XP, or 7 will fly under a new ChromeOS regime and thin-and-light laptops will fall below the vaunted $199 mark as the so-called “Microsoft Tax” – basically the small cost manufacturers pay for OEM licenses – disappears.

I’ve been saying for most of this year that Android will replace Windows Mobile as the “default” smartphone operating system. Thus far, if a manufacturer didn’t have their own OS or wasn’t in bed with a certain provider, they chose Windows Mobile. That operating system is still popular with a certain subset of user, namely users with lazy IT departments or computer owners cursed with the inability to download and install odd syncing software. Android will change all that.

The same will come to pass for lower-end hardware solutions, solutions where Windows or Windows CE were once standard.

My prediction is this: netbooks, as we know them, will come with ChromeOS as a boot option. Ultrathin laptops (think the Dell Adamo or the HP Envy 13) will come with Windows 7. Netbook configuration, then, will consist of entering your IMAP and SMTP info, a few social media credentials, and maybe uploading a picture of your dog as a background image. The rest – installing apps, buying games (other than Android/ChromeOS games), and running Microsoft Office – will be gone, thrust into the cloud.

I’m usually a pessimist. I’m not when it comes to something like ChromeOS. This is just what Asian OEMs are looking for – a respected software stack for their underpowered hardware.

An anonymous tipster send us in this image of an e-reader running Android OS and explained that it came from a company that has never been in the tablet/e-reader business. Interesting…

I suspect this is some sort of music device for composers/performers because of all the musical notes on the top of the screen and some things we saw in the background of the image. Any guesses as to what this could be?

My suspicion is that someone like Yamaha is creating a control system for their MIDI devices, allowing folks to make music away from the PC.

Xanga is a social networking website where people use to search for new friends and keep in touch with them. People use this website usually to upload and share photos, and also for creating and sharing their blog.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
As many other social networking websites, it provides many features but not as many as the famous websites like Facebook, Netlog and many others.

The features Xanga provides to their users are: Photo Album (users can upload their photos and videos into an online album and share them with other users), Photo Blog (you, as an user have the possibility to create your own blog and a plus of this website is that you can add images at the blog too), Music and Video (you can upload music and videos on your profile and share your favorite ones with your Xanga friends), Messages for Friends (you as an user, can post messages in your friends’ profiles and they can send you back messages by posting them on your profile).

Unfortunately they do not provide yet a Music and Video Database, so users can watch videos or listen to music just on their profiles and on other friends profiles.

Basically, the Xanga account can be created for free, but they offer you just basic features. But if you would like to be a kind of a premium member and you want more space hosting pictures, more Xanga skins, no ads on your profile and many other benefits, it will cost you just $25 for an year. This sum is paid yearly, depending for how many years you would like to be a Xanga member.

So far, if you are a Xanga user, and you have a basic account (you are not a premium member because you are not willing to pay) and you want your profile to look prettier, you have to know that Xanga website allows you to introduce HTML codes.

With the special codes used for Xanga you can add images, change background image, add layout to your profile, change the cursor of your mouse pointer or make changes to the text by colouring, bolding, underlining words or even change the font and the size. There are advanced codes that generate traffic counters helping you to know the number of people that have viewed your profile and how popular you are, or inserting special symbols like copyright symbols.

These HTML codes, when introduces, will generate several things like colours, cursors, games, images, music, special characters and many others.

To make your Xanga profile page unique, you will use some cool Xanga codes. Let me take some examples of such codes.

Snowflakes

Winter is coming and you want to be in trend with the weather, so you can add some snowflakes to your Xanga profile by inserting the following code:

a:hover {background:url(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k33/Blackfairy1/thfallingsnowanimatedbackground.gif); text-decoration: none;}

If you insert that code you will notice that is snowing on your profile.

Layouts

If you want to change your profile layout, you can simply copy the code link into your profile editor in Xanga, and your layout will be personalized.

For example, if you insert the specific code for this layout, your profile layout should be changed and should appear like this:

Icons

Some icons can be easily used by just introducing its specific codes, and the code will generate an small image which can be used also as a comment on others profile but also to personalize your profile.

For example, if you insert the following code,

&lt;a href="http://www.layoutxanga.net"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.myspace-code.org/xanga/11369143171239226026.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="position:absolute;right:0px;top:0px;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.layoutxanga.net/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.myspace-code.org/xanga/button.gif" alt="Xanga Icons" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.layoutxanga.net"&gt;Xanga Icons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

You will receive the following icon:

These were just few examples, but there are hundreds of ways in which you can personalize your Xanga profile, with the help of cool Xanga codes.

Hand from Above from Chris O'Shea on Vimeo.

This commissioned work by artist Chris O’Shea has an enormous hand alternately crushing, picking up, and tickling passersby. It certainly is reminiscent of the Kids in the Hall sketch with the head crusher (which I have embedded below for your convenience). It appears to work more or less automatically, effacing people it picks up or shrinking them. Not the hardest thing to do (especially with a decent background image) but, I imagine, difficult to do dynamically like that. All in good fun, though.

If you’re in Cardiff or Liverpool during the next couple weeks, check this thing out.
