Yahoo! launched it browser based media player written in javascript. All you have to do is link the javascript code (located at http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/js) in a web page having links to audio file(s) .

Ans. If you guessed it to be an Operating System designed by the Redmond Giant, you are stupid. It’s not something to be guessed.I just posted to let you know [...]
I was returning back to my room at around 6:30 in the morning after spending the whole night, as usual, in office. Suddenly this though struck me.
I always talk about codes and related stuff and ask people to map their algorithms to real life while coding, especially in OOP languages.
I asked myself, what would it [...]
