Windows 3.1 is a classic. I didn’t know anything about Mac at that time, so Windows 3.1 is the first graphical user interface I used. Michael Vincent has made this virtual Windows 3.1 in his website. You can open different parts of this “virtual Windows 3.1″, and surprisingly most of them are working. You can even launch the internet explorer to browse the internet. Nice job, Vincent.

In the past, we don’t have too much choices for the internet browser. Now, we can choose to use Firefox, Safari or Chrome. Here is the browser visualization tool with a big circle to show you the change. It uses different colors. The Internet Explorer uses blue color while Firefox uses the orange color. Just move your mouse to any position and you can see the changes over the years.

Some people prefer to use PDF to share documents since format can be kept. If you want to share URL in PDF format also, you can try this PDFmyURL.

With the help of annotation editor in YouTube, you can have some creative idea like this. Kokokaka.com has created this piano game video on YouTube. After the video loaded completely, you can actually play different keys to make the sound. Apparently, when you click on those keys, it will skip to different parts of the video in order to make the sound. Would that be possible we can play a sound with this YouTube video?

The first 2 letter would be the hour, and then the other 2 would be the minutes, for the last 2 would be the seconds. The scroll bar will keep on moving. It will work with Windows, Mac or Google Chrome OS scroll bar. But, of course, the look will be different.

Many big TV stations and studios have put their shows on the internet. For viewers like us, we probably don’t know whether a specific show is on CBS, ABC or FOX. Clicker collects all the popular TV shows, web originals, music, movies and more at one place. When you have chosen the show, it will show the related links on different online TV sites. Just click it to watch. It contains content from major networks to small video sites.

Note some videos may not be able to watch if you are not living in US. It is not the problem of Clicker, but the original source like Hulu, FOX, CBS and many others.
