Yahoo! want you to use firefox

When I point my browser (Firefox) to www.yahoo.com. A rectangle box pop-up at the top of yahoo.com webpage.

Yahoo and Firefox

It says that you can now search with Yahoo! right from your browser. Then I followed the instruction on the screen.

1. “Look for the search box in the upper right corner of your browser.”
I looked at my browser, there is a search box upper right corner of my browser. Ya.. Yahoo! is correct.

2. “Click on the small triangle in the search box.”
I searched for the small triangle but I can’t find it. I scanned a few more times. Oh, the small triangle (really small!) is on the Google’s logo. Then, I clicked on it. A drop down menu shows a list of available services.

Yahoo and Firefox

3. “Choose Yahoo!. You’re done!”
Ya, I saw Yahoo! The previous version of Firefox doesn’t have Yahoo! in the list. Yahoo! know I’m using Firefox 1.5

Then I opened Internet Explorer and see if the same thing happens. No, it does not.

Yahoo! want to remind her users that there is a Yahoo! icon on Firefox and users can search with Yahoo! directly from Firefox. Instead of googling, remember that you can yahooing too… haha

Gmail Manager

After I had installed Firefox 1.5 on my notebook, I went to Mozilla Extensions to look for some plug-ins. I found this: Gmail Manager. Previously I was using Gtalk as my Gmail Notifier but sometimes I found it was a bit ‘heavy’ (drained some resources) to run on my notebook. Gmail Manager is more light-weight. Since I didn’t use Gtalk as the messenger so it is OK for me to use Gmail Manager.

Gmail Manager

Gmail Manager
Size: 70Kb
Requires: Firefox: 1.0 – 1.5
Latest Version: 0.4.1

I installed Adsense Notifier 0.7 for Firefox too but it seems to have conflict with Gmail Manager. Most of the time, the stats doesn’t show up. The programmer of Gmail Manager or Adsense Notifier might take note on this.

What I like about the keyboard is the hotkeys for calculator and my computer. It’s very convenience for me as I always use it.

Christmas Gift - Keyboad & Mosue

Google Adsense is ready for Christmas!

When I login into my adesense account, I saw a news:

NEW
We’ve added seasonal spirit to our ad units – you now have the option of displaying themed colors and graphics in your ads during holidays and special events. Visit our What’s New page for details.

Adsense Christmas

Adsense is ready for Christmas! Adsense called the new format ads “themed ad units”. They are the ad units that display themed colors and graphics during holidays and special events.

At the Adsense’s Ad Formats page, I only see 160×600 Wide Skyscraper layout is supported. Not sure about others.

What you need to do to activate the themed ad units is go to “My Account”->”Ad Type Preference [edit]” and enable it.
