I finally got my Canon SX10 IS camera yesterday night. Finally managed to play around with it a bit today.

What are you upgrading from…

A lot depends on your expectations of this camera and some of that depends on the what your last camera was. Especially if that was also in S series.

For example I upgraded from the S2 IS so for me this is a big upgrade although I do still have my quibbles. Those moving up from the S5 IS may find some stuff difficult to adjust to. It all depends…

I am so sure I am not the only going mad trying to decide which of these smart phones to get.

Sadly I have been trying to change my phone for the past 18 months and just didn’t find any that will fit the bill. And now 18 months later I am finding way too many options.

I have been waiting like mad for this camera since March. The only reason why I missed its announcement is because I was searching for Canon S6 IS as the replacement for S5 IS. Apparently the new replacements are: SX10 IS and SX1 IS.

Just when I thought I was 100% sure which camera I’ll get, they make the choice difficult by giving two options.

SX10 IS vs SX1 IS

The main differences between the two are as follows:

• SX1 IS uses CMOS while SX10 IS is CCD based.
• SX1 IS offers HD videos
• SX1 IS has a 2.8 “articulating LCD while the SX10 IS has a 2.5″ one.
• SX1 IS is not available in North America.
• SX10 IS ships out in October while SX1 IS will be shipping around November - December.

Google Chrome is Google’s latest offering - a web browser.

You may ask…is it worth downloading? Is it worth trying out? And most importantly is it worth switching to?

I have been a hard core IE user since forever. Even though I like Firefox, somehow I have never been able to convert to it. So will Google chrome finally cure me of IE? Let’s find out.

Today I came across this software - TrackBoost.

The first deterrant to looking into this further was the fact that the website only had a video and hardly any content about the software. My speakers are not working at the moment and I find using my headphones to be a pain. However, I put them on unwillingly as I wanted to get more information.

If you are like me and don’t want to be forced to watch videos, here is a lowdown of what the software is about and what I liked and disliked about the product.

What It Does

The software links to your Wordpress database. According to the website:

TrackBoost is made for self-hosted Wordpress blogs, but will work with any blogging system that supports the MetaWebLog API
