As promised in my previous article, hats off to Microsoft for standing by their word and bringing us a standards compliant browser. When the final version is released web designers and developers everywhere will gradually have a much easier task in making their websites render properly in most of the popular browsers.
Microsoft could have comfortably […]

As a big Asian film geek, one of the movies I am hotly anticipating is the new Stephen Chow movie CJ7. The HK superstar’s new project is doubly interesting for me since it is going to be science fiction-comedy. The movie’s plot is something that western moviegoers would instantly recognize from other Hollywood movies — […]

Discover Magazine has a great article that highlights some of the things you can do with your computer’s idle time. Most people know about Seti@Home, and Folding@Home, but there are many other great programs you can run to help society.

Vista, or should I say Longhorn was one of those said examples, until they decided to scrap the new file system they were working on. Internet Explorer 7 also seemed like one of […]

Whether you love, hate or feel indifferent about the Macbook Air, there’s no denying that it helped strike interest in the, otherwise “dull”, market of ultra portable laptops. After a few months of development Samsung finally announced it’s new ultra portable that packs better specifications than the Macbook but fails when in comparison to Apple’s […]
