BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider shows up again, shows off its browser
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No Comments
Man. Unless they're trying to get this thing to leak all over the Internet, RIM is having one hell of a time keeping the BlackBerry Bold 9800 a secret. The prettier of two experimental form factors for RIM (with the uglier one being.. this thing), the Bold 9800 Slider has been leaking out in photos and videos for weeks now.
Aaaand it has leaked again, this time showing the smallest of peeks at RIM's new WebKit browser.

First Steam for Mac pics, video for your viewing pleasure
Posted on April 22, 2010 | No CommentsLooks like Steam for Mac is being seeded to a select chosen few. As such, we now have screenshots and a delightful video accompanied by some sort of feel-good indie rock. Hint: Steam for Mac looks exactly like Steam for Windows.

Is this nice looking browser really Internet Explorer 9?
Posted on April 1, 2010 | No CommentsSeeing as today is April Fool’s Day and the source of this pic is some random Chinese site and it looks great unlike previous versions, let’s tread carefully here, m’kay. But that pic is supposed to be a IE 9. The overall design clearly follows the same design cues found in Windows 7 Mobile: sharp lines [...] -
Video demo: IE9 with NVIDIA Ion hardware acceleration
Posted on March 31, 2010 | No Comments
We'll soon live in an age when netbooks have both CPUs and GPUs and it will be grand. Unicorns and rainbows will dance off of our screens in harmony -- and Internet Explorer might become relevant again. The video after the jump shows what IE9 is capable of when a next-generation Nvidia Ion GPU is paired with an Intel Atom CPU verses a standard netbook with an Atom all by itself. The differences are obvious and makes a solid case for Internet Explorer. But most of us will probably visit the International Space Station before setting IE as our default browser even if it renders graphics faster.

Windows Phone 7 emulator hacked. Sweet, sweet secrets spill out.
Posted on March 19, 2010 | No CommentsAs anyone in the history of ever who has ever written a single line of code that might be subject to hacking knows, the only way to keep something “hidden” in an application is to just not include it at all. Sure, you can obfuscate the hell out of it out in the source code, [...] -
Nice knowing you, AdBlock, but it’s time to move on
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No CommentsToday's a very important day in the history of me using the Internet, a history that began in late 1996. Ladies and gentleman, I have completely uninstalled AdBlock. I do believe that makes me a man in the Jewish faith, so I'll be expecting presents from all of you.

Chinese iPhone Air is super thin, super fake
Posted on March 16, 2010 | No CommentsCome, friends! Circle 'round and let me tell you a tale of the finest fake in all the lands. Is your standard, completely not-shady iPhone too thick and legitimate for you? 12.3mm thick? That's like a loaf of bread! What you need, friend, is the iPhone Air. Not only have they managed to completely rip off everything from the body design to the user interface (presumably poorly), but they've also stuffed it all into a package just 8.5mm thick!

Steam for Mac: 100 percent official. Try to act surprised. (But still, yay!)
Posted on March 8, 2010 | No CommentsSteam for Mac is 100 percent official. Valve just released a statement saying it plans to launch it this April. The first games available will be Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life (and expansions), Counter Strike, and Portal. Portal 2 will be the first game released for Mac and PC simultaneously. Pretty big news, yes.

You don’t fall for the wallet inspector gimmick, so why fall for its online equivalent?
Posted on March 3, 2010 | No CommentsI think I'm getting to the point that, instead of feeling bad for people who fall victim to phishing scheme, or any other online nonsense, I'm actually like, “You know what? Serves you right.” There's a new scam going around that exploits Internet Explorer (in Windows XP, mostly), and it works by tricking users into pressing the F1 key at a certain time. Once the key is pressed, any ol' code a hackers wants to execute can be executed. Right now, the only work-around is to not press F1 when prompted by any ol' site. Cool.

MSIE6, blah blah blah
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No Comments
Sweet merciful fates, the continued existence and use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 is getting as much publicity as the Linux-vs-Windows debate. If you're interested in this story, and we all know you're interested or these stories wouldn't keep popping up, there's an interesting examination of the reasons for MSIE6's prolonged existence online for your perusal. The usual suspects -- slow-moving change-averse mega-corporations on protracted refresh cycles, cheapskates, and ignorance -- are rounded out by at least one surprising addition.

U.S. authorities identify Chinese hacker partly responsible for Google attacks
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No CommentsThe Chinese hacker saga continues, with some pretty huge news having emerged in the past few hours. U.S. authorities have identified, so they think, the sole person responsible for the underlying code used on attacks on Google and others. He's a "freelance security consultant" in his 30s, and he was able to take down almighty Google by exploiting a previously unknown hole in Internet Explorer. Being an Internet Explorer public relations guy must be pretty difficult.

Maybe Hulu is right to block Boxee?
Posted on February 6, 2010 | No CommentsIf I may, I'd like to play devil's advocate to something I wrote a few days ago. To quickly summarize, Boxee took issue with NBCU's Jeff Zucker's characterization that Boxee was some sort of rogue piece of software, and that Hulu is in the right whenever it blocks access to the XBMC-derived media player. How about this: maybe Hulu is right to block Boxee? Let's see where this takes us.

Boxee responds to NBC’s Jeff Zucker’s misleading statements to Congress re: Hulu-Boxee relationship
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No CommentsThe world's worst manager, Jeff Zucker, who just so happens to be the president of NBC Universal, was on Capitol Hill today trying to persuade lawmakers to allow the proposed merger with Comcast go through. Interesting to note his take on Boxee's relationship with Hulu, which, you'll recall, has been something of a mess. Boxee adds Hulu compatibility, Hulu breaks said compatability, Boxee re-works its code so that Hulu works again, Hulu breaks compatability again, etc. And on and on and on.

France and Germany agree: Don’t use Internet Explorer if you want to be safe online
Posted on January 19, 2010 | No CommentsIn the intricacies of high-level European diplomacy, there's two things Paris and Berlin can agree on: Conan is better, and you'd better not be using Internet Explorer. A French government agency is now advising citizens of the French Republic not to use Internet Explorer because of security concerns. It's 2010, and we're still writing "IE isn't secure!" stories. Amazing.

Everything old is new again: Microsoft MinWin attempts to modularize Windows
Posted on November 18, 2009 | No Comments
There have, historically, been two competing models of operating systems development. There's the UNIX mentality, of small pieces loosely joined. That is, you have a whole bunch of little, stand-alone applications that all work together to accomplish more complex tasks running atop a svelte kernel that doesn't know -- or need to know -- about the pieces its running. Then you have the "everything and the kitchen sink" mentality, used by Microsoft. All versions of Microsoft Windows have huge dependency chains, and what is rightly called "Windows" is a dizzying amalgamation of interdependent pieces of software, none of which can do much on their own. If you've ever wondered why your Windows-powered web server included Windows Media Player, or Solitaire, that's the reason: the "stuff" that makes up Windows is highly interdependent. Read on for some interesting changes underway.
