Flying high

Bangalore based NAL is about to design 50 seater aircrafts with turbo-prop engines!

According to the article, these will be able to land/take off from short semi-prepared runways. Seems like the ideal solution to further propel the growing domestic passenger travel industry. Also, it should specifically help the tier II cities to get connected with the “New Economy”.

Search as you type

I don’t know how I ever lived without this feature. It is supported by Firefox and Konqueror, the only browsers that I use and care about.

There are two variations, actually,

• Search the whole text
  When you press the forward slash [ / ], you enter this mode. Whatever you type in this mode is searched and highlighted. If the searched term happens to be a link, you can quickly press Enter to follow the link. (Shift-Enter to open the link in a tab; Ctrl-Enter to open the link in a background tab).
• Search only links
  This is the most useful among the two. It is activated by pressing the apostrophe [ ' ]. It works just like the above feature, except, it searches only links. This means, you can navigate web-pages entirely using the keyboard. To follow a link, just type apostrophe and few letters of the link, and Enter.
  Presto!
