Well a big splash in the pool struck us today - Looks like the kids over at Mountain View have decided to take another step in organising the world’s information. This time in the form of joining Microsoft Internet Exlporer, Mozilla FireFox, Apple Safari (Now on Windows, too) and Opera (amoung others) in providing a Windows XP & Vista (erghhk, shudder - Yes, THAT Vista, the slow ass resource intensive memory hogging opaque blackbox of an operating system) application for navigating the broad array of news, sport, art, information, social activity and commerce available on the internet.
As I write this we are downloading a copy for the test machine and look at the things that effect us in a professional capacity (CSS rendeering, Flash Support & Other Plug-Ins, if our bank doesn’t like the browser, that sort of thing) and will be reporting back with our thoughts after some usage. Press releases will be churnalised thorugh the ussual sources in the coming minutes, hours, days no doubt but we will post our thought after some real-world trialing. This is a bit of a salvo on Google’s part and in our opinion it is a tantalising and exciting move that might just cement greater flexibilty in the pace of online innovation moving forward if this application is to web browsing say what Picasa2 is to photos or Google Earth has done to mapping, direction, real estate, and genral geo-spacial information.

What you need to do is find the following file:
And edit it as below:
Then… Dreamweaver will recognise Drupal’s .module file as PHP. Simple.
And voila! We have beatiful code once again:
