Monday, October 6, 2008

SpaceTime is a free consumer desktop software application than enables searching, shopping and browsing in a 3D environment. It was released in beta form on June 4, 2007 and is currently available for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista systems, with a Mac OS X version planned Space Time developers are currently working to port the product to the OpenGL framework in order to support the Linux and Unix operating systems.

 When using search engines including Google, Google Images, Yahoo!, Yahoo! Image, eBay, and Flickr, SpaceTime loads the first ten results as a stack of pages. SpaceTime is a certified member of the eBay Developers Program.[

CEO Eddie Bakhash began working on SpaceTime in 1999. The product debuted in beta on June 4 2007. On the day of the release, San Jose Mercury News journalist Dean Takahashi noted that the software was "the most advanced 3-D navigation system I've seen. It doesn't make me dizzy, except with the thoughts of what this could become."

The software's capabilities have been compared to other current browsing and 3D technologies such as in TechCrunch's comment that SpaceTime is "pure eye candy, sort of like Second Life meets Firefox."

Songbird is a free software media player and web browser developed by a group known as Pioneers of the Inevitable (with members who previously developed for both Winamp and the Yahoo! Music Engine), with a stated mission "to incubate Songbird, the first Web player, to catalyze and champion a diverse, open Media Web." As of version 0.7, Songbird cannot record music from CD.

Songbird runs on Mozilla's XULRunner platform, thus capable of running on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux. On the Windows and Macintosh platforms, Songbird utilizes the VideoLAN Client for media playback. For Linux & Solaris, Songbird utilizes the GStreamer media framework instead of VideoLAN. The Qtrax client is based on Songbird.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Smart Bro is a harmful virus, trojan, and spyware disguised as a tabbed web browser that has been developed by Mind Vision Software. It resembles Internet Explorer, the web browser provided by Microsoft with its operating systems.
Smart Bro has an integrated popup blocker, form filler, a filter to block Flash advertisements, and features a method to stop the loading of images on a website in order to save bandwidth.
The browser provides a way to quickly enable/disable scripts on websites. This can be helpful when visiting some websites which are relying heavily on scripts to provide popup’s and Ads. Disabling scripts on such sites will make them harmless.
Smart Bro has a feature which is protection while minimized. The user can set Smart Bro to be minimized to system tray and set a protection password for it. This helps preventing others from looking at the browser content.
The browser provides quick search in a different way than other browsers which may be easier for some users. The address bar in this browser is being used for entering website address and for entering search criteria as well. After that the user can hit Enter to visit the address or hit SHIFT+Enter to search.
Smart Bro has an integrated RSS reader sidebar which allows reading RSS feeds easily with this browser. The user can subscribe to as many RSS channels as they want.
SmartBro's official system requirements state that it requires Internet Explorer 5+, suggesting that it is based on the Trident rendering engine.

SlipKnot

Monday, August 18, 2008

SlipKnot was one of the earliest World Wide Web browsers, available to Microsoft Windows users between November 1994 and January 1998. It was created by Peter Brooks of MicroMind, Inc. to provide a fully graphical view of the web for users without a TCP/IP connection to the net. SlipKnot version 1.0 was released on November 22, 1994, approximately 3 weeks before Netscape's Netscape Navigator version 1.0 came out. It was designed to serve a significant fraction of PC/Windows-based Internet users who could not use Mosaic or Netscape at that time. (Internet Explorer was released in the following year after SlipKnot, in August 1995.
SlipKnot version 1.0 was completed and released as shareware in November 1994, thus making it the first purchasable browser on the market. Its name is a play on the term slip knot (a type of knot) against SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) -- an early version of TCP/IP over modem lines -- and not after the fact that, unlike Mosaic and Netscape browser offerings, a SLIP connection was not necessary to view graphical web content.
SlipKnot was given the Best Communications Shareware Program of 1995 Award by Ziff-Davis and was runner-up for the Best Overall Shareware Program of 1995.
By mid-1996 when further development ceased, the majority of home internet users were able to obtain TCP/IP connections that were easy to install, and all new internet software development was dependent upon that protocol.

Netscape Navigator

0 comments

Monday, June 30, 2008

Netscape Navigator is also known as Netscape.It is a proprietary web browser that was popular during the 1990s. Once the flagship product of Netscape Communications Corporation and the dominant browser in usage share, its user base had almost completely evaporated by 2002, partly due to the inclusion of Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser with the Windows operating system, but also due to lack of significant innovation after the late 1990s. Netscape's demise was a central component of Microsoft's antitrust trial, where the court ruled that (among other things) bundling Internet Explorer with Windows was an illegal monopolistic business practice.

The Navigator browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator internet suite, followed by later releases Netscape 6, Netscape 7 and Netscape Browser 8.

However it was confirmed on 1 May 2007 the Netscape Navigator name would once again be re-generated in the next release of Netscape's browser, Netscape Navigator 9.

AOL officially stopped development of Netscape Navigator on 28 December 2007 and originally planned to continue support for the browser in the form of security updates until 1 February 2008. This date was later extended to 1 March 2008. AOL canceled support on that date, but will allow users to download archived versions of the browser. AOL also continues to maintain the Netscape website as an Internet portal.

Netscape Communicator (versions 4.0–4.8)

0 comments

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Netscape 4 addressed the problem of Netscape Navigator being used as both the name of the suite and the browser contained within it by renaming the suite to Netscape Communicator.

After releasing five preview releases from 1996–1997, Netscape Corp. released the final version of Netscape Communicator in June 1997. This new version, more or less based on Netscape Navigator 3 Code, updated and added new features (such as support of certain CSS1 elements, minimal dynamic font support and the proprietary object element). The new suite was successful, despite increasing competition from Internet Explorer 4.0 and problems with the outdated browser core. The Communicator suite was made up of Netscape Navigator, Netscape Mail and Newsgroups, Netscape Address Book and Netscape Composer (an HTML editor, which later became Mozilla Composer and eventually was split off into a completely separate product, Nvu). In October 1998 version 4.5 of Netscape Communicator was released. This new version featured various functionality improvements, especially in the Mail/News component, but did not update the browser core (which, in its functionality, was basically identical with version 4.08). Only one month later, Netscape Communications Corporation was bought by AOL. A standalone version of Netscape Navigator was still available, but this was discontinued after version 4.08 for Windows. However, standalone versions for other operating systems such as Unix/Linux were maintained up to version 4.8.

In January 1998 Netscape Communications Corporation announced that all future versions of their software would be free of charge and developed by an Open Source Community (Mozilla). Netscape Communicator 5.0 was announced (codenamed "Gromit"). But there were significant delays to the release of Netscape's next major version and Communicator therefore aged badly over the many years it was still used. As a result of this, and a more advanced support of HTML 4, CSS, DOM, and ECMAScript by Internet Explorer starting with version 4, the more up-to-date Internet Explorer 5.0 became the market leader. In November 1998 work on Netscape 5.0 was cancelled in favor of developing a completely new program from scratch.

NeoPlanet

Wednesday, May 14, 2008


NeoPlanet was a graphical web browser based on the Trident rendering engine (a technology developed by Microsoft for use in Internet Explorer). Started in 1998, NeoPlanet was designed as a customisable browser with content channels and search facilities. As well as this, it also included email and download management. When first launched, it was offered by Lycos as well as featuring a Lycos skin.

Recently, the NeoPlanet browser has no longer been available officially and Lycos is no longer distributing the browser either. On the homepage, NeoPlanet Inc. did mention that "The NeoPlanet browser is currently not available for download. Please check back in the future for more information." although it was still obtainable by going to the Download page as of early 2008.

Features

Skins were a very noticeable feature as well as being vital to the customisable browser vision. Channels also added to this as well as email and a download manager. NeoPlanet also featured an InfoBox and Integrated Search.
