Whenever you get TEXT WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS, head over to www.convertcase.net if you need lowercase text. This simple online tool will convert uppercase to lowercase or do the reverse. You can even convert to sentence case, so this:

this is a paragraph of text. it is not capitalized properly. why can’t people write correctly?

will become this:

Google Chrome Enters the Browser World

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Google has just jumped into the browser marketing with Google Chrome. While only in Beta, Chrome offers some promising features:

1. It didn’t break any of the sites I’ve done!
2. Did I mention that none of my sites broke? Woohoo!
3. The interface is simple and includes favorite features like tabbed browsing.
4. The sites you have visited are saved in an easy-to-review history with screen shots.
5. Don’t want your visited sites saved? Cleaning your history and cache is easy.
6. Need to be really sneaky? Switch over to Incognito browsing. Visited sites and cookies will be deleted when you close Chrome.
7. A Developer section is already in the menu!
8. Pop-up blocking is enabled by default.

I’m excited to see what becomes of Chrome. I can’t wait for add-ons like Firefox’s Flashblock, Adblock and the full Web Developer Toolbar.
