Google Body Browser

Google has recently demonstrated Body Browser, a WebGL application that lets you explore the human body just like you explore the world using Google Earth! Interesting, isn't it?


Explore the Human World!
Let's Check it out!


WebGL is a context of the canvas HTML element which helps to provides a 3D graphics API implemented in a web browser without the use of plug-ins. WebGL is currently under development, and is supported in the latest builds of several browsers. 


So, To use Body Browser, you'll need a Web browser with WebGL support. Simply follow these steps to Get a WebGL implementation.






WebGL is available, but not enabled in Chrome 8 (the latest stable version).
Type about:flags in the address bar, click "Enable" next to "WebGL" and then click on "Restart now". 


WebGL come enabled in Chrome 9 Beta, Chrome 9 Dev Channel, Chrome Canary Build and Firefox 4 beta.



Now that you have a WebGL implemented browser, you are all set to explore the human world!

You can view through the anatomical layers of human body, zoom in, rotate and navigate through the human body.

You can also share the visual of exact part that you are viewing through the specific link from the address bar. For example, This is the part of the body I am currently viewing...


Enjoy!

Changing Blogger Favicon


Bored of the default Blogger Favicon? 


Want to change it? Here You go!

Favicon is an abbreviation of “favorite icon”. It is displayed at the start of address bar in most of the browsers. It is basically a small image, which generally represents the logo of a site or company. If you have a look at the bookmarks in your browser, you would see the favicon against each saved link. It also helps to identify the specific link out of the huge list of bookmarks. So why not change it?

Note: Click on images to enlarge them.

Update: Before you proceed to any of these steps... Check out this screenshot! 











P.S. It's self-explanatory!





Step 1

Go to your Blogger Dashboard Design


Step 2

Go to Edit HTML Edit Template.



Step 3

Search for "< / head >" tag in the content.



Step 4

Let us host the required favicon. 

The Favicon can be hosted through any file hosting service.

Note: The size of the favicon should be 16 x 16.

Example: My3gb, 110mb, zumodrive, rapidsharehotfile,etc. (Choose as convenient)



After hosting, copy the URL of the hosted favicon.


Can't find a good favicon? Convert your favorite image into a favicon here or find 18000+ animated & cool favicons here


Step 5

After you have successfully hosted the favicon and have obtained the URL, get the final code here by just entering the image URL.

Copy the final code and paste it just above the tag that we had located earlier.


Step 6

Save the template. You are done! :D 


View your blog to check if everything was successful. If the favicon hasn't changed, check it through another browser.


The result may take some time because of some delays brought by the browser you are using. I have tried once using Google Chrome and it didn't changed the favicon immediately.
