Microsoft has released a new plug-in that lets Firefox take advantage of Windows 7′s native H.264 support. Firefox at the moment doesn’t support H.264 but Windows 7 does. The plug-in scans for HTML5 video tags and passes the video to the Windows Media Player plug-in for playback.

How to enable iPhone Push Notifications for comments/pingbacks/messages on your WordPress blog

Push notifications for comments on your WordPress blog

Push notifications are all the craze nowadays for iPhone/iPod Touch users. If you’re a blogger like me, you probably love Push notifications to get quick alerts of what ever is happening around you or the latest tweets you get ( via Boxcar and the likes ) and so on. I recently installed WPtouch for www.ithinkdiff.com ( this blog, duh! ) and found out a pleasant surprise that it enables push notifications for new comments and pingbacks on your blog.

It does so through an application called Prowl (available for $2.99 in the App Store) and a plug-in installed on your blog. The plug-in uses the Prowl API to notify it when there are new comments/pingbacks, a message from a reader or even new user accounts on your blog which is in turn sent to your iPhone/iPod Touch as a Push Notification. Here’s a small guide on how to get push notifications up and running.
