What is a Web Browser?

Simply, a web browser is the program you are using right now to read this website! It's a software that can access the World Wide Web(WWW).

Websites are built using some programming languages and techniques like HTML, CSS, RSS, etc. A web browser must understand HTML (HyperText Markup Language) protocol and to produce the output page for you.

A web browser allows you to read text, images, videos and other graphical plugins. But why do some websites appear different when I use a different browser? Simply because each browser has it's way in formatting web pages and producing them, some websites are viewed better with a certain browser. Have you ever seen "This site is best viewed using IE7 " ? yes, that's what I mean :)

Some of the Web browsers currently available for personal computers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, Avant Browser, Konqueror, Google Chrome, Flock, Arachne, Epiphany, K-Meleon and AOL Explorer.

Many people have encountered problems with error messages saying that this file: seehcri.sys has caused an unexpected error and it also makes some of your USB ports not working. The program Sony Ericsson PC Suite, specially the live update service seems to be controlling the USB controllers somehow by creating a virtual one "Sony Ericsson seehcri Device Driver" ; or that is how many people understand the problem. Let's talk about some solutions available, some of which I tried and worked.

You can find it by going to Control Panel > Programs and Features and then look for " update service " and uninstall it. No find the seeh

Play Games on Google Plus !

If you are a Google plus user you can now play some great games and time killer like the famous Angry Birds, others include diamond Dash, Crime city, City of Wonder and a few others. You will find the games icon at the top of the page next to the Google banner with the home, photos, profile and circles icons. Your contacts can see your achievements and high scores if they are interested in the game. There are now more than 10 million Google+ users who can enjoy these games and share the fun with their friends and contacts, which adds to the social networking experience, of course. The games will be available gradually to everyone and more games will be added in the future. That's a happy news at least for me because I'm a BIG fan of Angry Birds, I wish they could also add the amazing Angry Birds Rio in the future :). Enjoy. P.S. If you don't have a Google plus account yet you can ask someone who already have an account to send you an invitation, it is so easy.
