The Chuck Norris effect

Chuck NorrisIt’s been a while since I started this “Gugle Project” and sadly, I didn’t have enough time to develop it some more. Time is still a problem for me, but still, from time to time, I put some fun articles on the fun section of the site. The interesting part is that on this section, some fake facts about the allmighty Chuck Norris attracted the most traffic ever. Also, it is the most commented post with over 60 comments. So good old Chuck Norris still got it :)

I’ve touched the Air

Mac Book Air
The Mac Book Air that is, and I must tell you: It’s really small, but still pretty heavy I might say. At first look, it’s quite beautiful and incredible sexy with its curved edges, but after playing around a little bit with it, I realized that I can’t get use to it, not having a CD or DVD-ROM, don’t ask me why :). On the other hand, the new software addition with the MacBook Air which modifies to the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane to support the new multi-touch enabled trackpad it’s cool and neat. Finally, the other thing that impressed me was the display which is quite bright, and the colors are soooo natural.
Overall, MacBook Air it’s a nice piece of work, but i think that it’s more like a gadget rather than a useful equipment.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta

How time flies folks. Not so long ago I was talking about how much we will have to wait for the new version of Internet Exlorer and now…it seems that the first BETA of IE8 is out now. From what I can see, the new version will be fully compliant to CSS 2.1, will resolve all the Interoperability and compatibility problems, a built in Developer bar (which is standard in Firefox from some time) plus some other interesting stuff, like the fact that Internet Explorer 8 Developer Beta uses the Internet Explorer 8 standard mode layout engine by default, but, by clicking on the emulate Internet Explorer 7 button, users can choose when they use the strict mode which supports the Internet Explorer 7 compatible layout engine to retain compatibility with existing sites.
Overall, the new Internet Explorer 8 Beta looks like it’s finally learned something from Firefox, but i think that it will still remain a poor and ugly browser.

Firefox 3 Beta RC3

FirefoxOh boy, oh boy. This is the final candidate release before the BIG announcement of Mozilla’s final version, which will be around …. the mid of this year. And so far, the new Firefox is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay much better then the others browsers (of course, this is a personal opinion) and waaaaay much better that the most important competitor: Internet Explorer. And speaking of devil, IE 8 is scheduled to be released only at the end of the year. Eeat your heart out IE :).

In the mean time, if you wanna test the new Firefox 3 (beta), click below to download it.

Here’s one of my favorites:

Yahoo up, MS down

Funny thing: after the announcement of the giant Microsoft to acquire another giant (Yahoo!), the stock price of the Yahoo increased, which it’s kinda normal. But the stock price for Microsoft…..went down and looks like it’s still going. It seems like Microsoft investors are not very happy about this intention to buy Yahoo, maybe because Yahoo it’s now almost on the Investors blacklist. Interesting battle anyway with only one possible winner: Google :). Time will tell.
