Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is Out

March 6th, 2008

The beta of the next version of Internet Explorer is now available! The IE team just announced the availability of the Beta in MIX08.

One of the new features that the IE team boasted about is that IE finally passed the Acid2 browser test, which mean IE conform to CSS standard. (All previous IEs failed this test) Some other features include:

  • Faster JavaScript handling. 2.5x the speed of previous IE. “Back” button support for AJAX.
  • Webslices (I’m not quite sure about it, but it said it will let you subscribe to part of a website)
  • Social integration/activities in right click. Live maps, Facebook, etc…
  • Better developer tool.

You can download the Beta version here. The IE team said that the main focus user in Beta 1 is web developer (to help them create website that compatible with IE8/standard compliance) Normal user would have to wait for Beta 2 for more features that focused on them.

It is really great to hear that Microsoft have finally releasing a standard compliant web browser. But for now, I’ll just stick with Firefox. :p

HD DVD is Officially Dead

February 19th, 2008

HD DVD

The format war is over. Toshiba just announced that they will stop their HD DVD business. I guess that the switch by Warner Bros really killed HD DVD.

RIP HD DVD 2006 - 2008.

Happy 50th Birthday, LEGO!

January 28th, 2008

Today (28th of January 2008) is the 50th Anniversary of LEGO! I only notice when I visit Google where they changed their logo to LEGO bricks. I’m sure that most of you play with LEGO before. I still remember when I was a kid, I used to build LEGO sets. But now I rarely play with it because the price of LEGO is damn expensive! (I think it is cheaper back then).

Anyways, this is a great milestone for LEGO and I hope that my child (hopefully) will be able to play with LEGO! Gizmodo have a great timeline for LEGO and some interesting facts about LEGO. Remember to check it out!

MacBook Air: Thinnest Notebook in the World?

January 17th, 2008

Apple just announced their new MacBook series, which is the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is the thinnest notebook in the world with the thickness of 1.93cm (when closed). I thought the MacBook was pretty thin, but this one is even thinner!

But of course there are some sacrifices for this thinnest. The MBA is lack of built-in optical drive, slow hard disk, no Ethernet port, not user upgrade-able (everything is sealed inside) and also the price tag, USD1799! (around RM5900) For this price tag, you can get a Dell XPS M1330 with better spec, but slightly thicker.

The system specification of the MacBook Air is after the jump.
