7 MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN PAKISTAN

7 Most Haunted Places In Pakistan

You must have come across many stories about the haunted places in Pakistan especially in localities of Lahore and Karachi. Here is a list of stories, which I have personally heard repeatedly from different people, and I am sure you must have heard some of them too... YOU SHOULD NOT DARE VISIT THESE PLACES ALONE!

1. Story Of The Bride At Karsaz

Karsaz-Ghost-Karachi
From time and again many people have reported seeing a woman dressed up in red bride clothes on the road of Karsaz, Karachi.

2. The Mohatta Palace

Mohatta was the summer house of a business man and is said to be haunted by his ghost since the British Raj era. Museum guides have reportedly seen various objects which have moved from their original place, or shifted about while guards have claimed to have "felt" the presence of certain spirits during the night.

3. The Koh-i-Chiltan Peak- The Beauty With A Legend

If you were to tarry along the streets of block 6 at P.E.C.H.S, you will see a light glowing around house No. 39-K. where it might simply mean that someone is living there most people insist seeing a pale woman wearing a white dress, walking along the street and disappearing about 03:00 in the morning.

5. The Sheikhupura Fort, Lahore

The queens used to reside there once. The fort is in bad shape as no one wants to help in reconstructing it because they believed that it is haunted by the spirits of those queens.

6. Shamshan Ghat (Hyderabad)

Shamshan Ghat or Crematory is in Hyderabad region of Pakistan; many claim that spirits who are dead but never reached their destination even after death. It is a place where Hindus’ burning and burial ritual are performed and this place is about 250 years old. If you really want to experience some creepiest paranormal activity, then this place is on the top of the list. As per the guard and other staff they have seen small children coming to play and make weird noises after sunset. He never saw anyone coming from the gate; the children just come from nowhere and disappear afterwards. That’s one creepiest thing!

7. Chowkandi Graveyard (Karachi)

Px26-011 KARACHI: Feb26 – A view of centuries old and historical Chowkandi Graveyard after disappearing of large number of stones of graves located at some 29 km east of Karachi on National Highway. People are reported to be digging new graves in the graveyard which is being neglected by The Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Pakistan. ONLINE PHOTO by Hamid Hussain
Chowkandi graveyard located on the National Highway of Karachi, Pakistan is amongst the most ancient graveyard of the country, around 600 hundred years old. It is also considered as one of the most haunted graveyard, nobody attempts to visit there after sunset as they would most likely to experience some unusual/paranormal activities. According to the people who live nearby, they heard people shouting and apparition have also been witnessed. Overall the Chokandi Graveyard has its own ancient beauty that attracts visitors, but nobody dare to visit it after the sunset. Not to forget the great factor of Black Magic, usually done in this graveyard with a goat’s head.

Top 5 Games

You might have spent a good part of the year trying to ram giant balls with your car or look for adhesive out in the Wastelands. While you were off slaying mythical creatures, a number of amazing games probably slipped under your radar. I’m talking about games ranging from murder mysteries to sending a man up into space. Every year is an amazing year for games and 2015 was no different. Here are our top 5 games that you probably didn’t get around to, but really should play right now.

Her Story

 

Imagine taking a great murder mystery, pulling out all the pages, and stitching it back together one word at a time. That’s the idea behind Her Story. In the game, you’ll have access to an old computer database filled with three months of interviews from Hannah Smith, the wife of the victim. You start out only knowing that she’s a suspect, but you have no other info on what or even how the murder happened. By typing in search terms into a 90s-style console, you pull up the first five videos that happen to match. From the words you glean from the testimony, the story starts to build around ideas, places, and important objects to the murder. Only by understanding what happened will you be able to piece together all the videos.
One of the remarkable bits about this game is that you’re dealing with full motion video. There’s something amazing about seeing a live human on the other side of the interview tapes. Viva Seifert’s portrayal of Hannah runs the gambit of emotions as she turns from victim to accused, but it’s that bit of realism that makes you feel like you’re really scrolling through old police files from years ago. Her Story is a remarkable game that blurs the lines of cinema and interaction.

Undertale

 

An hour into the game, you won’t get it. Two hours in and you think that it’s cute idea. Five hours into the game and you’ll start to understand what kind of magic lines underneath all of this. Undertale is one game that pretty much everyone I know has fallen in love with after playing it.
A long time ago, monsters and humans used to live together in harmony. Something happened to destroy that and the monster all hid from humanity. You play as a child who falls down a hole in the mountains and finds these missing monsters. Like most RPGs, you fight through random monster encounters to earn money and experience to help you level up to fight even harder monsters… or not. Undertale allows players to pass through the entire game without swinging a punch by talking with each of the monsters you encounter. Compliment, bribe, even date; the system allows every monster to bring their own little bit of story into the drama.
But that’s really not everything. The game remembers choice you make in other games, knows if you are streaming the game online, and hides some of the deepest mysteries that players are still trying to solve online. With its simple color pallet and minimal animation, Undertale may be one of the deepest and most intriguing games you play this year.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes!

 

A game is not always about what happens on screen. Sometimes it’s about what’s going on beside you. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes puts you into the role of a bomb disposal unit. One person will be faces with the task of disarming the bomb while the rest of the team must flip through a physical manual filled to the brim with info. The interaction between the groups that makes this game so much fun to play since no one person has enough info to completely solve the puzzle and disarm the bomb. It’s a game of shouting, laughing, and trying to explain what you mean when you are looking at the business end of a bomb.
 

Kerbal Space Program

 

It’s kind of like the SimCity of space travel. Play around with SimCity long enough and you start to understand zoning, public transportation, and where to best put fire stations in a city. Start poking around Kerbal Space Program and you start to understand what it takes to put a little screaming guy into space and bring him back down. You run a NASA-like program to shoot things up into the depths of space. The missions start out small, but you’ll quickly find that even perfecting a stable orbit around the planet takes some time. Manage to land in one piece and you’ll get new toys to play with to take you farther and hopefully cheaper into space. If you’re someone who just wants to play around without having to worry about pesky money, Kerbal Space Program lets you build just about anything and watch it blow up to your heart’s content.

Nuclear Throne

 

With the release at PSX a couple of weeks ago, this quick-twitch shooter made it just under the wire. Two years of early access has not only given Nuclear Throne a gleam that makes even the deaths feel good, it also built up a community to support the daily and weekly challenges the game throws at you. You play as any number of mutated gun-wielding characters as you fight for your life and one more bullet as you work your way to the elusive throne. Along the way, you get to mutate your character with different traits like more health, regaining ammo, or the ability to shoot water out your butt. If you are looking for that next “one more time” kind of experience, look no further than Nuclear Throne.

Potential Hurdles For The Internet of Things

Two ideas crossed my mind while reading this piece. First, Delgado makes the obvious-but-equally-important point that being able to take advantage of the wealth of the Internet of Things requires something we take for granted: access to the Internet. I’m not going to belabor a rural electrification analogy. Many do not have Internet connectivity, including in the developed world and the United States. It gets worse as ignorance abounds. Delgado writes:
While businesses may talk excitedly about the Internet of Things, consumers are largely unaware of it. In a recent survey of 2,000 people, 87% of consumers said they had never even heard of the IoT. While hearing about the Internet of Things doesn’t necessarily signify a consumer would not use an item connected to the IoT, the survey results show a lack of awareness and understanding about what can be gained from it. If this lack of knowledge about the IoT leads to lack of interest, a major driving force for widespread adoption will be missing.
In one of the worst tech predictions of all time, IBM President Thomas Watson stated in 1943: “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” Talk about punching in the mouth the possibility of disruptive innovation at IBM. Watson was misguided and incorrect, but hardly dumb. Whether we wish to believe it, Mr. Watson, I suggest, knew far more about his industry at the time than today’s experts know about the Internet of Things, which is in its infancy but growing fast. According to Gartner, there will be approximately 25+ billion sensors in the world by 2020. It’s not surprising that a whopping 87% of consumers are unaware of the billions of sensors around the world. What would (I would hope) be surprising is if we don’t follow in Google’s footprints to widen Internet connection worldwide. That would be a Tragedy of the Commons with a mean twist. We’re not depleting a resource. On the contrary, it grows daily because we feed it. Our “just” not sharing precludes a global race to the top of technology, which I’ll restrict here for the sake of argument to non-military uses. Now that’s a race we should all want to enter.
Tracey Wallace over at the Umbel blog (Truth in Data) writes about data-driven cities and the Internet of Things .
Wallace describes how each city is turning itself into a data treasure trove and using new technologies. Let’s look at a few:
  • Turning old phone booths into WiFi hot spots (NYC);
  • All household waste is sucked directly from individual kitchens through a vast underground network of tunnels, to waste processing centers, where it is automatically sorted, deodorized and treated. (Songdo, South Korea);
  • Wi-Fi provides city communities with hot spots that promote city services such as water meters, leak sensors, parking meter and other city services to operate on the same secure government network. (Dallas); and
  • There are no light switches or water taps in the city; movement sensors control lighting and water to cut electricity and water consumption by 51 and 55% respectively. (Masdar, UAE).
These initiatives are amazing. Think about what Masdar is doing. It’s like an automatic, energy-saving Clapper (“clap on, clap off”). Consider their savings and what it would mean for energy consumption if such a program were implemented to the extent possible around the world. Wow. There’s certain to be an enterprise wrapped around this as we speak.  So . . . which of you will be the first to sit on a bench at the edge of a park and use a nearby phone booth across the street as your hot spot? That’s pretty cool.

Sell or Recycle Old Electronics



CreditDanish Abbas

PEOPLE give all sorts of electronics as gifts around the holidays: phone chargers, e-book readers, video games, drones and more. But what should we do with the devices they are replacing?
Most of our gadgets end up in landfills, others stuffed away in a closet, never to be played with again. In the tech industry, hoarding or disposing of used electronics this way is known as e-waste, and can leave toxic materials and pollutants in the environment. The amount of e-waste is growing every year — by some estimates, consumers threw away 92 billion pounds of used electronics last year, up from 87.7 billion pounds the previous year, according to a report by the United Nations University, the academic and research arm of the United Nations.
Efforts are underway to dispose of electronics more responsibly. Electronics resellers, for one, have existed for years and purchase old tech products. More recently, large tech companies including Apple and phone carriers like Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile USA and AT&T have begun trade-in programs for cellphones, offering consumers credit toward buying new phones. The companies then often resell the old cellphones internationally.
Yet the e-waste issue persists. Many people shove their old computers and tablets into junk drawers or closets, said Chris Sullivan, the chief executive of Gazelle, a company that buys and sells used electronics. “They’re unaware of the options,” he said, on how to responsibly dispose of many electronics. “I think people aren’t necessarily inherently lazy.”
To make way for tech presents this holiday season, I recently tried out three programs for getting rid of used electronics. The programs,Amazon, Gazelle and Best Buy, are available nationwide. Each one was simple to use and headache-free, and I even managed to get a decent amount of money for my old electronics, like my outdated video game controller and a used smartphone, to spend on holiday gifts.
Amazon’s trade-in program was my favorite of the three because it accepts such a wide variety of products, from old DVDs to Wi-Fi routers, in exchange for Amazon gift cards. The process starts on the program’s website, amazon.com/trade-in, where you can find out which items the retailer will buy. The process took me a while, but I eventually learned that the company would buy a good amount of junk in my drawer: a PlayStation 3 controller, three used video games and two cable modems from past living situations. (Nontech items can be sold, too. I even managed to get rid of a gluten-free cookbook I bought two years ago when my girlfriend was hooked on that trendy diet.)
Once I knew which items Amazon would take, the company supplied me with a free shipping label. All I had to do was pack everything up and drop the packages off at a U.P.S. mailbox. About two weeks later, after Amazon inspected each item, I received about $60 worth of Amazon store credit. Not shabby at all.
Stacey Keller, an Amazon spokeswoman, said the company’s trade-in program allowed people to declutter by selling an array of eligible items “and in return, receive an Amazon gift card which can be spent on millions of items that they actually want.”
I also used Gazelle, which buys and sells used electronics, to sell a used iPhone. The company gave me a quote of $70 based on the “good” condition and age of the phone. Then it gave me the option to receive a free box with packing materials for the phone or to print out a free shipping label so I could pack and ship the phone myself. I chose the second option, erased the contents of the phone, removed the SIM card and shipped the phone in a used Amazon box. Two weeks later, after Gazelle inspected the phone, I got my $70 via PayPal, the popular payment service.
Gazelle sells other types of products, too. In years past, I have sold used Apple laptops and an iPad to the service and got a reasonable amount of money in return.
“We purchase a lot more than just phones, and we get that message out as best we can,” said Mr. Sullivan of Gazelle. “We’ll take those devices.” In the event that a product is unusable and Gazelle declines the purchase, the company offers to recycle it responsibly free through its partner CloudBlue, he added.
After selling items to both Amazon and Gazelle, I was still left with plenty of e-junk. I turned to Best Buy, which has a nationwide recycling program that it started about six years ago. The stores invite shoppers to drop off electronics, including televisions, batteries, ink cartridges and power cables, at kiosks or the customer service desk. Best Buy says it teams up with responsible recycling companies likeElectronics Recyclers International and Regency Technologies. Most gadgets can be dropped off for recycling free at Best Buy, though some states require consumers to pay a small fee to recycle certain items, like old TVs.
I decided to put the Best Buy program to the test by gathering the least desirable electronics in my home, along with some unsolicited items that have been mailed to the New York Times office in San Francisco over the last three years.
I packed up a DVD collection of all five “Home Alone” movies (who even knew there were five?), two Motorola phone cases, two styluses and a cup holder that attaches to laptops. At a Best Buy store, I laid the items on the customer service desk and described them one by one: “Here’s a collection of ‘Home Alone’ DVDs that nobody will ever want, a useless cup holder, some lame styluses and some Motorola cases,” I said.
The Best Buy employee laughed and thanked me before placing the items in a pile. I was surprised she didn’t ask me to pay the store to take the junk away from me. Now I’m e-waste-free and ready for some new gear.

L I F I

You’ve heard of Wi-Fi, now you need to hear about Li-Fi. Still in the nascent stage, this new technology could change how you use the Internet. It’s much faster than existing Wi-Fi tech, it’s more energy-efficient, and potentially more secure as well.
But of course, there are just as many downsides.
Li-Fi, or Light Fidelity, is suddenly in the news these days because an Estonian company called Velmenni conducted a real-world test where it was able to transfer data between devices at 1 Gbps, which is roughly 100 times faster than Wi-Fi in the real world. In lab tests, the fastest recorded speed was 224 Gbps!
And it all works with the simple power of light.

What Is Li-Fi?

Li-Fi’s biggest proponent is Harold Haas, a professor at The University of Edinburgh, and founder of the company pureLiFi, which is trying to bring the technology into real world markets.
Li-Fi is dependent entirely on light, specifically LED bulbs. In a way, it’s the next step in connected lighting. In the simplest terms, Li-Fi transfers data over light waves. By comparison, Wi-Fi uses radio waves.




This means that Li-Fi is completely wireless, much like existing Wi-Fi. Haas also stresses that it can operate with existing LED bulb technology. Note: “existing technology” doesn’t mean “existing LED bulbs” that you already have set up in your house. Li-Fi actually works on wireless protocols much like Wi-Fi’s 802.11.
In short, you’ll need new bulbs. Li-Fi will also require a new piece of technology in your smartphones and laptops: a photosensor. Photosensors (also called photodetectors) are sensors which can “read” incoming light.

How Does Li-Fi Work?

Li-Fi works much like the infrared technology in your television, and infrared works on a simple principle: an input command is given (e.g., “change channel” when you press a button) and that input is turned into binary code.
That code is then transmitted over infrared light waves by your remote’s sensor, and the light waves are received by your TV’s infrared sensor, which decodes the light and performs the intended input action.

PureLiFi’s infographic above shows how this works. The Internet and router/server is hooked to a cable, and the cable is attached to any number of LED bulbs in your house. The LED bulbs then transmit the data as modulating light waves while a photodetector on your phone or laptop picks up those light waves and decodes them.
So anywhere that your LED bulb is casting light that your photodetector can “see”, you’re ready to get Internet access — and at speeds faster than Wi-Fi.
Howevenr, this means that Li-Fi requires direct line-of-sight between the source (bulb) and recipient (phone or laptop), so while properly configured Wi-Fi can go through walls, you won’t be able to do that with Li-Fi.

The Problems With Li-Fi

Li-fi-problems

While all of this sounds really good, there are some major problems that Li-Fi still has to overcome:
  1. Li-Fi cannot be used in direct sunlight (or other odd conditions with harsh lighting) since the photodetectors won’t be able to detect the modulating light waves. It’s unclear what counts as a poor condition, but as Velmenni’s and Haas’s demos have shown, it does work with some amount of ambient lighting.
  2. The line-of-sight requirement can be a major bottleneck. Let’s say you have one Li-Fi bulb in your living room and you want to move to your bedroom. Well, you better have another Li-Fi bulb set up there or you’ll be out of luck.
  3. Li-Fi is going to need reinvestment in lighting and wiring infrastructure.

Will Li-Fi Revolutionize the Internet?

Right now, it’s honestly too early to tell. Advocates of the technology suggest that instead of Li-Fi replacing your existing setup, it’ll be an additional connectivity source that boosts your usage. PureLiFi illustrates this by showing how you are likely to go from LTE to Wi-Fi to Li-Fi in your home:
Li-Fi-lte-wifi-lifi-house
We probably won’t see a mass rollout of Li-Fi anytime soon. PureLiFi is the leader in this regard and has so far joined up with one French company to hopefully go to market by the third quarter of 2016.

What Does All of This Mean?

The bottom line for you right now? Nothing changes.
Li-Fi seems like really cool technology and could help augment existing Wi-Fi and other wireless connectivity — it could potentially even replace it altogether — but actual usage for us consumers is a long, long time away.
Until that happens, check out Haas’s most recent demonstration of Li-Fi and be amazed by what the marriage of LED bulbs, Li-Fi, and solar cells could bring to our smart homes of the future:

What Do You Think About Li-Fi?

What’s your take on this new wireless tech, is it the future or just a fad? Would you buy into Li-Fi technology any time soon?

FIREFOX VS CHROME

Back in the day, web browsers didn't mean quite as much. Now they are an integral part of our lives. While we could just go with the system default back in the day, now passionate users support their browsers as fervently as their operating systems. We took the two most popular—Chrome and Firefox—and asked you to prove which one is better. Here's what you said.

Chrome Is More Polished, Firefox Is More Customizable

Google put a lot of work into making Chrome look nice and feel more polished than your average browser. As a result, you get a great experience out of the box. Firefox, on the other hand, offers a lot of control over how it looks and operates. While many people made this argument, our own Whitson Gordon summed it up most concisely:
Chrome is a much more polished browser. It's smoother, it feels faster, and it's got a lot of cool extra features like application shortcuts and packaged apps. It is, without a doubt, the browser I'd recommend to most people, and it feels like a more mature browser despite the fact that it's older.
Firefox, though, still beats it in level of customization. It may be a little slower and clunkier, but with things like about:config you can really tweak every tiny corner to your heart's content (here are some of my favorite tweaks), which is pretty killer. It may not have as many big features, but the features it does have you can configure to the tiniest detail. And if you're a person that likes things just so, that's hard to give up.

The Best About:Config Tweaks That Make Firefox Better

In a way, it's like the iOS versus Android argument. Chrome, like iOS, has its limitations—just far fewer of them. Firefox, on the other hand, will let you do almost whatever you want.

Chrome Is Better for Developers

Developers tend to use Chrome. Why? Perhaps because Google employs many of them. Reader dougoftheabaci has another theory:
I could go on, I truly could, but there is no doubt in my mind which is superior. I would even gladly speak for all the developers I work with (about 20 or so) who all use Chrome as their primary. In fact, most devs and designers I know use Chrome as their primary browser, both for personal use and for testing and development. Why? The same reason chefs always have the best kitchens: We know what's the best and we don't want to use anything else.
Of course, you as a developer you kind of have to use multiple browsers. As a primary, however, Chrome tends to win out but whether or not that's because it's the best is a matter of opinion. It is more popular in general, however, so Chrome would have to be significantly worse for developers if Firefox were to take the lead with that specific group.

Firefox Has Better Extensions

Chrome has a lot of extensions, but some users feel Firefox has better, more capable ones. Reader missem falls into this camp:
Firefox wins on extensions, privacy and security. Chrome wins on simplicity and smoothness. However FF is working on both simplicity (australis) and smoothness (electrolysis) for next year. That said, they are more equal then many realize. FF favors the power user with many tabs and extensions. Chrome favors the average user with only a couple of tabs open and no extensions.
While others still look at Chrome very much as a browser for power users as well, Firefox (as noted earlier) offers more fine-grain control.

Chrome Offers Better Syncing Capabilities

Chrome syncs just about everything you do in the browser so you can log in on one computer or mobile device and essentially pick up where you left off. Of course, you have to use Chrome everywhere to have this benefit. Vrekk argues this point:
Chrome for Android syncs together well with the desktop and is just plain fast. (Not saying Firefox isn't though). Now I will say I tried Firefox for android the other day, and I loved it there. Really fast and plugins made things like lastpass a lot more usable on mobile where it is kinda impossible to use with Chrome. But the Desktop version of firefox can't match the Desktop version of Chrome, and because of all the sync features I use Chrome on both.
Cfc responds that Firefox handles this just as well:
Firefox syncs across my desktop and my Android device, just like Chrome would. Likewise, with the default configuration, Firefox will automatically update itself — again, just like Chrome does. The two are nearly identical on the vast majority of features.
So while people generally feel Chrome handles sync better, others find both browsers to be evenly matched.

Firefox Offers Better Privacy

According to reader missem, Firefox wins on both user privacy and security. Let's start with the privacy argument:
FF does not make money of user data. They go to such pains to protect their users that I think seeing how both Chrome and FF are both good browsers, this issue alone should be enough to drive people into Mozilla's arms.
And now, security:
I think that out of the box Chrome is likely to be very slightly more secure then FF due to its sandboxing model (which is why Chrome is also worse in memory usage). That said, FF's security extensions are so powerful that overall I think FF is superior in this category. Adblock plus, No Script, Ghostery, pdf.js and soon Shumway will lock your browser down like Fort Knox. But for inexperienced users who don't want to customize there can be slight benefits to using Chrome.
Furthermore, Chrome has an insecure password manager and you should use a third-party option instead. Overall, it's hard to argue against these points. Google does have something to gain by collecting data about you whereas Firefox does not—on the surface, at least. With third-party extensions—which Mozilla doesn't intend to lock down to prevent installations from outside of their own site—you can do a lot more to stay secure. If either of these things matter to you greatly, you may prefer Firefox.

Seriously, Don't Use Chrome's Insecure Password Manager

Chrome Crashes More—No, Firefox Does!

Depending on who you ask, both browsers crash a lot. Let's start with TiredOfHypocrites:
I tend to have lots of tabs open, and leave them open. I went from Firefox to Chrome, and now back to Firefox. The reason? Chrome eats up far more memory for the same amount of tabs than Firefox. Also, Firefox would always recover the previous session if it crashes; Chrome on the other hand, has failed multiples times.
Henry Floyd disagrees:
I have had the exact opposite experience. Firefox eats up an obscene amount of memory, to the point where it becomes nearly unusable. Chrome has never done that to me.
Rguitargod suggests a Chrome extension to solve the problem:
I use a Chrome extension called The Great Suspender that automatically suspends tabs after a set amount of time (I think default is 15 minutes)... So the tabs are still there, but they're not using any memory.

The Great Suspender Suspends Memory-Hungry Chrome Tabs You Haven't Used LatelyGoogle Chrome likes to use memory and give your processor a good workout if you keep a handful (or…

For the record, I'm a big fan. I think it helps a lot. TiredOfHypocrites doesn't:
I conduct a lot of media research, and a lot of times a single site will lead me to 10 others. I keep them open for faster access when I need to find a specific image. Yes, I do need more organization, but for the time being Firefox is working out well for me at least.
So what's the takeaway? Both browsers have their issues if you open a bunch of stuff in them, especially on a lower-powered computer like a laptop. The solution isn't really switching browsers, but managing your tabs more effectively. Close more and use an extension like The Great Suspender to help out if needed.

Both Are Not Internet Explorer 6

Remember Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)? Some of you don't have to because you still have to use it at the office. It failed to work with most web sites since the day it came out, and while later versions of Internet Explorer have improved you don't see too many people using them. Firefox and Chrome both offer significantly better experiences for those who want to do more with the web (and, I think, in general as well). So you could be—and in some cases, may still be—stuck with Microsoft's beast that just won't die (even though they officially killed it and a funeral was held in celebration). Whether you prefer Chrome or Firefox for the little things one does better than the other, just remember how bad things used to be and cherish the modern browser you've got.
