Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0
Wednesday 07 January 2009 - 14:22:15

As some of you are experiencing the site looks a little weird depending on what browser you are using. The site was coded to use the features in newer internet browsers like Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox, Opera and Crome, these browsers are able to render png image files correctly and handle css better older browsers such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or 6.0 will render the png files with a white border around it and may shift some of the tables to the right causing a misalignment on some of the graphics.
Unfortunately there is not much we can do to correct this problem. We suggest upgrading your browser to a newer version as this will allow the site to be shown correctly as well as adding an extra bit of security to your machine. I recommend Firefox personally as this is the browser I have used for several years, its fast, secure, and has additional plugins that you can add to allow for increased functionality.

Google Files Patent for Unified Address Bar/Search Box
Wednesday 07 January 2009 - 03:49:57
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has filed for a patent to allow users to enter either search terms and domain names into a search box (such as an address bar), and having the computer figure out if the search term was meant to be a specific domain name or web site.

Patent application 20090006389 was filed last year and just published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this month. The abstract reads:

Methods and systems allow users to enter natural language terms that describe a particular web site into an address field of a browser instead of a formal URL. The terms are evaluated to determine whether they correspond, with a high likelihood, to a particular web site. If so, this web site may be immediately accessed. If not, a list of search results based on the terms may be displayed by the browser.

For example, if a user types “lands end” into a search box or the browser bar, the computer could decide that the user meant to visit landsend.com and send them directly there as opposed to delivering search results related to “lands end”.

This type of unified address bar/search box can be found in Google Chrome, the web browser the company launched last year. The patent filing is a continuation of earlier patents for “highlighted confident results” from searches.

It’s unclear if this technology has an impact on direct navigation. If users become used to typing search queries into the address bar, it could boost direct navigation. However, some web browsers append .com to terms typed into the address box. For example, typing baseball would bring you to baseball.com. With search functionality enabled the browser may instead offer search listings.

Going back....
Wednesday 07 January 2009 - 00:27:57

Well after changing the site to a new script it looks like most of you liked the old site better so I have listened and reacted, the old script is loaded back up and I will be adding the latest drops to the site tomorrow.

I will not be bringing the old data back online as it has some corruption that makes the script not work correctly so I have opted to start from scratch once again.

Please check back a little later and I should start to get things back online.

Thanks,
DNAdmin
