Para aquellos usuarios de Safari, a los que se les cierra inesperadamente Safari, decirles que el problema se soluciona instalando la versión a parte de los paquetes de actualización que podéis descargar de la web oficial.  Descargarla manualmente (no vía Apple Update) e instalarla, no hace falta borrar la versión que ya tenéis, el nuevo fichero sustituye al antiguo, siempre que sea la misma versión.

Вообще, вынужден признать, что гуглу удалось создать такой же гламур вокруг данного продукта, какой сопутсвует продуктам Apple. Ничем другим я не могу объяснить такой интерес к всего лишь бета-версии! продукта, у которого есть очень и очень достойные альтернативы.

I'll try my best to compare Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer (IE), and Google Chrome, but most of my results will be subjective.

Speed: IE is the loser in this, it doesn't even compare.  Chrome and Safari I find are neck-and-neck, both very fast.  That would be because they use the Webkit rendering engine.  Firefox 3 is between IE and the Webkit browsers, but Firefox 3.1 is actually faster than Chrome or Safari.  The Gecko engine in the Firefox 3.1 alpha is blazing fast.  I recommend you try it out.

Performance: From my experience and other tests, IE is once again the big loser here, using more RAM than other browsers.  Safari, Firefox 3, and Chrome, are all pretty close, but Chrome might use a little less than Firefox, and Firefox generally uses less than Safari.

Functionality: Firefox is the big winner in this round (big surprise).  Obviously with all of its addons, it automatically wins.  Although other browsers like IE include support for addons, they don't have nearly as many as Firefox, don't have the same usability, and they aren't nearly as easy to install.  The "omnibar" in Chrome is nice, but I prefer the functionality of a dedicated search bar and location bar.  The way the omnibar works, if you don't type in a URL, Chrome searches Google for whatever you typed in.  The problem with this is that, for instance, with my OpenDNS network, I have shortcuts for my different sites I visit often.  Like for Remember the Milk, I just type "rtm" into Firefox's location bar, and it immediately takes me to Remember the Milk.  It doesn't work in Chrome.  Safari doesn't have any special features that really beg attention, it's just another browser in my opinion.  The only thing I like about Safari that isn't in Firefox by default is its bookmarks organizer.  The Safari bookmarks organizer is very nice in my opinion.  Firefox is the clear winner in this one.

Appearence: This is obviously the most subjective of the topics, but I like Firefox's default personally.  Safari's is really nice on OSX, but notsomuch on Windows.  IE looks okay too, mainly on Vista.  Chrome looks decent enough on Vista, but the XP look is a little too cartoonish for my taste.  I also don't like how Chrome puts the tabs above the omnibar, but that, once again, is an opinion.  My only complaint of Firefox's appearence would be that in Vista, it doesn't have Aero transparency by default like in Chrome or IE.  I like the Glasser extension to do that.

Overall: I think Firefox is the clear winner, but I'm not going to decide that for anyone.  Take your pick.  I wouldn't use Safari on Windows for security reasons, and I wouldn't use Chrome as my main browser for security reasons as well at the moment.  Firefox is quite secure on all systems, and IE7 is secure as well.

First of all, it's way faster than any browser I've ever used. It's really great.

The bad things are that I haven't seen any way to import my RSS feeds (of which there are many!), and the whole bookmarks thing is a bit off for me.

I also can't use StumbleUpon. :[

But really, the speed is so amazing, it's utterly crazy.

Now, I need to clean my room and do something other than be on the computer. My back is beginning to hurt, and there are hours of House episodes on the DVR to make my way through.

Eins gleich vorneweg: der Browser ist wirklich ziemlich zügig. Mit dem Wissen um die zugrunde liegende Technik kann man sagen, dass die Jungs (ggf. auch Mädels) da wirklich gute Arbeit geleistet haben. Das Rendering ist zudem auch auf allen von mir getesteten Seiten in Ordnung, wobei das sollte man schon erwarten, denn zum einen wird mit WebKit eine solide HTML-Engine verwendet (u.a. Safari, iPhone, etc.) und zum anderen verwendet Google (laut dem Comic) massive automatische Tests um Fehler in der Engine zu finden und zu beheben. Die Performance ist auch im Bereich JavaScript durch die neue V8-Engine von Google sehr flott, hier können andere Hersteller wirklich noch was lernen.

Optisch ist er der Browser zunächst einmal sehr simpel und damit gewöhnungsbedürftig, wobei ja auch andere Browser (z.B. Internet Explorer) diesem Trend folgen. Ich finde ich einen Firefox (mit dem altem Stil von FF2!) ansprechender, aber ok, das kann man durchgehen lassen.

Softwaretechnisch gibt es ein paar interessante Fakten zu Googles neuem Projekt. Denn die Architektur des Browsers sowie auch der Komponenten (wie z.B. die V8-Engine) ist laut Google für die Community offen einsehbar (Nachtrag: oder doch nicht?) und alle Entwickler sind geradezu herzlich eingeladen das System weiter zu entwickeln oder Teile davon in andere Systeme zu übernehmen. Eine Mozilla Foundation z.B. könnte also hingehen und die eigene Javascript-Engine durch die V8 austauschen und Google würde noch applaudieren.

Auf den ersten Blick scheint dies unlogisch, aber natürlich profitiert eine Firma die ihr Geld im Internet verdient davon, wenn die Browser sich weiter entwickeln, denn im Grunde ist es ihr egal, mit welchem Browser der Nutzer unterwegs ist, solange der Browser fähig ist die Google-Dienste vernünftig zu verwenden. Und genau dies scheint das Ziel zu sein, welches Google auch mehr oder weniger offen kommuniziert. Es geht Google darum die Entwicklung der Browser weiter voranzutreiben um damit eine moderne Plattform insbesondere für sogenannte RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) zu schaffen. Darunter fallen neben vielen anderen Seiten eben auch viele Google-Dienste und je besser diese unterstützt sind, desto erfolgreicher kann Google seine eigenen Dienste anbieten. Aus diesem Grund machen auch die Anstrengungen im Bereich Sicherheit und Performance viel Sinn, weil dies bei komplexeren Web-Anwendungen einen viel höheren Stellenwert hat.

Klingt nach einer ganz guten Sache, oder? Hmm .. aber irgendwo muss doch der Haken sein, schließlich reden wir hier von Google, dem globalen Informationskraken überhaupt. Und natürlich wird man auch hier fündig. So wird jede Kopie von Google Chrome mit einer eindeutigen ID gekennzeichnet, und somit quasi eine Kopfnummer für jeden User/Rechner vergeben. Diese wird unter anderem beim Updateprozess (einmal täglich) oder auch bei jeder anderen Art von Datenübertragung an Google übermittelt. Dies kann man zwar prinzipiell deaktivieren, aber das Verfahren ist so aufwändig, dass ein "normaler" Nutzer dies niemals bewerkstelligen kann.

Die anderen, standardmässig aktivierten an Google übertragenen Daten lassen sich per Menü deaktivieren, sofern man die Anleitung genau liest. Dazu zählen insbesondere alle in die Adressleiste eingegebene URLs oder Suchanfragen sowie aufgerufene nicht vorhandene URLs. Google informiert auch darüber, was mit den Daten geschehen wird: "Die während der Verwendung von Google Chrome an Google gesendeten Informationen dienen dem Betrieb und der Verbesserung von Google Chrome sowie anderer Dienste von Google und werden zu diesem Zweck verarbeitet."

Dh. wer mit Google Chrome im Internet stöbert, lässt sich im Zweifel nicht nur komplett aushorchen, er sorgt auch noch dafür, dass Google seine eigenen Dienste immer weiter optimieren kann. Aus diesem Grund hat sogar das Bundesministerium für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) eine Warnung herausgegeben und empfiehlt Google Chrome (u.a) aus datenschutzrechtlichen Gründen nicht zu verwenden.

Mir persönlich ist Google schon seit einiger Zeit etwas suspekt. Zwar nutze ich einige Google-Dienste fast jeden Tag (z.B. Google Search, Google Maps), aber ich sehe auch die Gefahren einer immer größeren Datenansammlung bei Google. Wer Google Trends kennt, kann sich eine Vorstellung davon machen, welche Art von Daten man erhalten kann, wenn man die der nachgefragten Informationen weltweit summiert. Für einen Konzern wie Google wird es damit möglich am Finanzmarkt mit einer bisher nie dagewesenen Informationsfülle nahezu risikolos zu agieren. Eine Studie der TU Graz kommt demzufolge auch zu diesem Ergebnis: "Jeder, der die Situation betrachtet, muss sich dessen bewusst sein, dass Google in noch nie da gewesener Art Macht angehäuft hat und damit unsere Gesellschaft in Gefahr bringt".

Fazit: Ich finde es gut und legitim, dass Google versucht die Browser technologisch weiterzuentwickeln, da hiervon im Grunde alle Netzbewohner etwas haben werden. Allerdings kann ich der Datensammelwut nur mit dem üblichen Google-Mißtrauen begegnen. Vielleicht ist es nur ein Anflug von Paranoia, aber wo soviel Wissen (und damit Macht) konzentriert wird, ist die Gefahr, dass dies irgendwann aus rein wirtschaftlichen Interessen ausgenutzt wird einfach sehr hoch und solange keine geeigneten Mittel zur Verfügung stehen dies zu kontrollieren, bin ich lieber mit einem anderen Browser unterwegs.

Safari is somehow... Pleasant to use. It's riddled with quirks that ought to be annoying. It takes a long time to fire up on a PC, and the big, gray, top space of the browser looks clunky and wasteful. Probably an artefact of Chrome/IE having that same space "smoked glass"ed.

I like the way IE does bookmarks, but I think I prefer the button bar concept in Safari. I find Safari's bookmark manager the least intuitive I've ever used, not that it's all that bad but instead of popping it into the window they replace your entire browser space with the bookmark manager and you have to select "Hide all bookmarks" from the menu or notice the little "book" icon is actually a visibility toggle. If you can wrap your head around this perversion of normal UI flow, you can probably get along with it fine.

Having just converted to using Safari's bookmark bar, I liked the presence of the same concept in Chrome; but then it one-upped Safari and put the pages I frequent into the "New Tab" display. IE8 does something sort of similar, their "New Tab" is no-longer the old "About New Tabs" page, but actually shows you things like tabs you recently closed, kinda neat. Safari, on the other hand, just shows you a blank page (I think you can configure it):

Yeah, don't try to read too much into my Chrome browsing habbits, I haven't used it that much. It has quirky problems with a bunch of popular sites.

The first couple of days I tried chrome, it seemed to have unpredictable performance. It crashed when I tried to go to Microsoft's site to see the Seinfeld teaser (note: I just told you that link crashed my browser, dumb dumb). However, I have definitely noticed that stuff which is JavaScript heavy is smoother and more stable, so sites like Facebook etc... I can best describe it as being like the difference between when you used to telnet into computers over a modem vs the first time you logged in to a server on a local network.

My more java-script intense tools at work feel nice and smooth: I pulled up the page that lets me review the chat logs (GM activity, HC activity, /reports, etc) and pulled down 6 months work of /reports in each browser:

• IE takes about a 60 seconds downloading the data, about 10 seconds loading it, about 15 seconds sorting it and then about a second rendering the resulting page (which shows 30 reports per page and 442 pages). It takes 1-2 seconds to switch between pages and nearly 30 seconds if you click "All".
• Safari takes about 53 seconds downloading the data, about 2 seconds loading it, about 11 seconds sorting it and then about a second rendering the resulting page. It takes about 1.5 seconds to switch between pages and around 12 seconds if you click "All".
• Chrome takes about 51 seconds downloading the data, about a second loading it, about 8 seconds sorting it and the page seems to render instantaneously. It takes about 0.8 seconds to switch between pages and around 6 seconds if you click "All"

(Yes, you bet I've suggested to Ramp that he look at whether we could switch to the Google V8 javascript engine instead of the one we're using right now!)

I tend to like sites that have that old "google" look & feel. Google is my search engine, I use LinkedIn, Friends Reunited and Facebook. My own web designs try to borrow from that same tones-of-blue-and-gray.

Because google is based on WebKit, like Safari they both share a cool pro and a bad con: The pro, resizable text areas allowing you to resize any multi-line input box on any page anywhere; the con, no default XML renderer so accessing an XML page just shows either a blank or bits of text. Both IE and Firefox have a default XML viewer that validates and then shows you the XML nicely marked up.

The first few days I was using Chrome, there were definitely some periods of sketchy performance that had me worried it was uploading or downloading a ton of stuff, but watching my modem lights quickly showed that to be untrue.

I do think Google are onto something with the way they are making every window/tab in Chrome a separate process. I've had a lot less multi-tasking issues with Chrome. It doesn't bring a whole lot of new ideas to the table, but it does a nice job of bring a lot of other folks' ideas together and polishing them well. There are some privacy concerns with the combined search/address bar and the fact it is continuously sending data up to Google.

I hope other browsers will take pages out of the Chrome leaf, but Chrome isn't going to become my preferred browser any time. I particularly hope it might shake up the Firefox team to quit being so Andreesen and focus more on function than form: they need to pander to the end user and the average web dev, not the detached and clinical pursuit of web standards to the letter. It surely is a pain supporting the mix of this and that across browsers, but that's how the web evolves - eventually some technique or practice becomes formalized and we move on. I see Firefox as a threat to that process, and supporting Firefox is always more work than as-yet-non-standard solution working elsewhere.

IE8 hasn't grabbed me in any particular way. It feels slower, it's clearly bloatier and although they've polished some IE7 adds, the IE8 adds feel more tacked on than IE7s Firefox/Opera/Safari clones.

So, despite my attachment to IE, here I am writing this article in Safari ;)

După două zile de butonare a noului meu iPhone, am găsit deja ceva bubiţe, dar şi multe chestii interesante. Haideţi să le discutăm pe rând.

1. Avantaje

• sistemul multi-touch îl face un telefon foarte uşor de folosit, toate treburile se execută mult mai rapid, iar experienţa este cu totul alta faţă de un telefon cu touchscreen simplu şi tastatură. Tastatura on-screen din iPhone e mult mai uşor de folosit (cel puţin pentru mine) decât o tastatură normală de telefon (vechiul meu telefon era un XDA mini S cu tastatură glisantă);
• accelerometrul este o chestie foarte interesantă. Practic, iPhone-ul reacţionează la mişcare (de ex. dacă îl roteşti, comută pe landscape). Există chiar un joc cu o biluţă pe care trebuie să o mişti printr-un labirint, evitând nişte găuri. Şi faci asta mişcând iPhone-ul. Deci este într-adevăr o inovaţie, un mod cu totul nou prin care poţi interacţiona cu un telefon;
• browserul Safari afişează paginile web impecabil, ca pe un pc/mac şi este şi multi-tabbed. Însă are şi ceva dezavantaje, pe care le vom discuta mai jos;
• facilitatea push-mail îl face un telefon excepţional când vine vorba de recepţia e-mail-urilor. Este ca şi cum ai avea Outlook în telefon, dar un Outlook mult mai light, clean & fast.
• în materie de muzică şi video, este excepţional, sunetul e impecabil, claritatea video la fel (ecranul are 16 milioane de culori, la fel ca un monitor de calculator), nu face frame-uri la redarea video (normal, doar are un procesor de 600 MhZ, în timp ce XDA-ul meu avea 200 MhZ), într-un cuvânt e un full-featured iPod;
• având abilităţi Wi-Fi şi 3G, e excelent pentru internet (eu consider că e cel mai performant telefon până în ziua de astăzi, referitor la navigarea pe internet);

2. Dezavantaje

• Primul dezavantaj este şi nu este un dezavantaj :). Nu îi poţi extinde memoria cu carduri de memorie.  Însă, când ai un iPhone de 16 GB, nu cred că mai e nevoie să-i extinzi memoria (eu unul, nu am nevoie);
• Browserul Safari nu recunoaşte Flash şi nici Java (dar Apple lucrează la asta, şi sper că se va rezolva la următorul update de firmware);
• Nu are funcţie de Copy-Paste, ceea ce poate fi chiar annoying de multe ori, însă, după zvonuri, Apple lucrează şi la asta şi e posibil să fie disponibilă funcţia asta la următoarele update-uri;
• Cea mai mare bubiţă este că nu ai acces la sistemul de fişiere, prin urmare nu poţi downloada orice tip de fişier şi nu poţi naviga printre fişierele din iPhone-ul tău. Asta este un major drawback, însă există câteva şmecherii care pot fi făcute, până când Apple rezolvă şi treaba asta (hopefully). Din fericire, aplicaţia de Mail salvează attachment-urile local, prin urmare, dacă vrei să salvezi un pdf de exemplu, ţi-l trimiţi în mail şi downloadezi attachmentul din iPhone (lame, dar asta e).

Prin urmare, există multe avantaje, dar la fel de multe bubiţe care trebuie rezolvate de Apple până când iPhone-ul va putea fi cu adevărat revoluţionar :D. Oricum, eu sunt foarte mulţumit de el şi nu-mi pare rău că am aruncat atâţia euroi la Orange :)

Not anymore. Unless you want yourself to be compared to Bill Gates' personal... er... serviceman, try to use something besides IE.

If you use IE, the message you're sending out is basically this:

Yeah, it is that big of a medal. And it hangs on your face.

Using IE means that you silently accepted the browser that Microsoft forced you to use by packaging it with Windows. It means that you are a tool. It means that you are a powerless tile in the road Bill Gates follows as he laughs his way to the bank.

Then again, if you stop using Internet Explorer after reading this article, you are sending me a message as well:

If you start using Mozilla Firefox or Opera simply because I told you to, you are a total tool. You simply accept whatever the majority says as gospel truth. If its that easy to make you change your preferences, I want you on my jury when I get arrested.

So what are you gonna do, kid?

As a matter of fact, there are some basic guidelines to follow while choosing a browser.If you are still confused, click here...

Google argues that current Web browsers were designed eons ago, before so many of the developments that characterize today's Web: video, scams and spyware,  viruses that lurk even on legitimate sites, Web-based games and ambitious Web-based programs like Google's own Docs word processor.

As Google's blog puts it, "We realized that the Web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser."

What this early version of Chrome accomplishes isn't quite that grand. With no status bar, no menu bar and only a single toolbar (for bookmarks), Chrome is minimalist in the extreme. At the moment, for example, there's no way to e-mail a Web page to someone, no full-screen mode, no way to magnify the page (rather than just the text), and no screen for organizing bookmarks. Google says that these features are at the top of its to-do list.

Chrome is, nonetheless, full of really smart features that seem to have been inspired by other browsers - or ripped off from them, depending on your level of cynicism.

Also under the hood are what Google considers some of Chrome's most important features - the security enhancements. Google says that each tab runs in its own "sandbox," so that if there's nasty spyware-type software running on one Web site, it has no access to the rest of your computer, or even the other tabs. Google asserts that this is much stronger protection than Internet Explorer 8 gives you, especially in Windows XP. (Internet Explorer 8 supplies its best protection only in Windows Vista.)

Released last Tuesday (September 2nd), the Chrome browser immediately grabbed 1 per cent of the market, according to Net Applications.

Internet Explorer accounted for 72.2 per cent of the browsers used in August to access the 40,000-plus sites Net Applications monitors. That was a drop of about 0.9 percentage points from July. Meanwhile, Firefox increased its share by about half a percentage point, climbing from 19.2 per cent in July to end August at 19.7 per cent. Other browsers also boosted their shares: Apple's Safari went from 6.1 per cent to 6.4 per cent, while Opera's share hit 0.74 per cent, up slightly from July's 0.69 per cent.

Google's entry into the browser software industry is seen by analysts as inevitable. Google relies upon the browser for its primary access path to users and the primary vehicle for delivering its ads. Not having control of the browser cedes control of this key element and its development path to competitors such as Microsoft.

An interesting and welcome feature of Microsoft’s new Internet Explorer 8 is its “privacy” mode. While the ability to browse privately is both a welcome development for consumers and also a feature of Chrome, it signaled a long-expected threat that Microsoft or Apple could interfere with software features critical to the functioning of the online advertising network/exchanges such as DoubleClick.

By developing its own browser Google can simply eliminate that threat.

For instance, those Internet users who have Window Operating system, it is more likely that the Internet Explorers are already available for usage. The question in this case for an average Joe is why would I want to trouble myself to install another application, if the current application can do the job pretty well? Similarly, for those with Machintos OS, the Safari Browser is also installed. To me, no one want another application if the current one is perfectly usable.

Personally, the reason of Chrome is just to keep the investors happy. Since the investors are more concerned about the bottom line - their investment, Google needs to keep on innovating and raising the share price. In other word, Chrome is just a gimmick for investor.

*give or take a jillion

Aside from the fact that it was just a lame attempt to try and elevate Microsoft's 'cool' factor, it immediately struck me the same way that the 'Pepsi Challenge' did way back when.  Pepsi was never content with their share of market, always trying to compete with Coke with a series of elaborately overproduced commercials like the one where Michael Jackson's head went up in flames.  From their 'blind' taste tests to their MTV video-inspired spots, their efforts were misplaced on making their marketing sexy instead of focusing on the product attributes themselves, and delivering on that. 

The bottom line is that Apple is cooler.  There's no question about that.

Macs are slicker, sleekier, sexier and just 'ier' all around than PCs in almost every way. 

And the multimedia capabilities, fuhgeddaboudit.

But, to me, it's never really been a contest.  So why is to Microsoft? And to such a degree that they are desperately clinging to a syndicated pop television icon hasbeen to re-ignite their popuarity.

Macs have their place.  So do PCs. 

OS has some key functionality. So does Windows.

Safari and Internet Explorer... OK, so that one gets a little dicey but the fact of the matter is that the entire planet is not ever going to completely switch to Apple no matter how impressive the apps unveiled at the developer's conference are or how many kazillion Gigabytes the new iPhone has.  Short of teleporting you to another location Star Trek-style, mass conversion is not imminent.

What Microsoft should be doing is focusing on the people who are loyal users of their brand and reach out to them instead of trying to appeal a whole other segment of the population who is never going to convert to Microsoft even if they do develop the 'moistest,' 'chewiest' new products. 

And while we're on the subject.................. moist? 

This is an adjective best reserved for those peddling lubricant or touting the right-out-of-the-oven moist and chewy goodness of a Tollhouse cookie. 

But it should never be used to describe software.

Never.

I think that's in the Ten Commandments actually. 

Thall shalt not use the word 'moist'  in vain.

Shame on you, Crispin Porter.

I wonder if they were motivated more by the media frenzy circus resulting from this spot or winning an Addy award than advising Microsoft effectively about their brand. Or maybe the Creative Director 'lost' the strategy brief because it certainly doesn't seem to be meeting any sound communications objectives.

In my opinion, all Miscrosoft's succeeded in doing is alienating their current customers while becoming the laughingstock of the diehard Apple disciples. 

Bill, you're not hip. But that's OK.

You're a trillionaire ten times over; isn't that enough??! Just focus on what it is you do, and do it well.  Leave the glitz and glam to Apple and focus on your productivity suite. Quit spinning your wheels on 'delicious' concepts and sharpen your business game before the forbidden fruit takes a bite out of that too.

In the end, remember it was Coke who taught the world to sing and Pepsi who said, 'we're better than Coke,' and Coke is still the market leader.

Microsoft lanzó el nuevo Internet Explorer 8, en fase beta, siguiendo la tendencia de google y muchos otros..."beta: no pongo las manos en el fuego por mi producto: si se te borran los datos, reclamale a magoya"). Volviendo al nuevo IE8, éste trae una nueva funcionalidad que, como Safari, oculta la información del usuario, impidiendo recolectar a los sitios información, pasando en limpio: no van a saber que es lo que te gusta navegar y, por lo tanto,  no te van a ofrecer publicidades. A pesar de su enojo, como sugieren, este funcionalidad ya la trae Safari, y se puede, widget mediante, agregar a Firefox (por ejemplo TOR envita sepan que estas navegando, que Windows/Linux/Etc... tenes en tu máquina, etc, etc...Buscá TOR en la galeria de aplicaciones para Forefox y navegá tranquilo)

Primera vez que veo el Iphone y la verdad que creí que era más pesado y más grande; algunas de las aplicaciones me parecieron un tanto aburridas, alguna que otra pasaban pero supongo que después de un tiempo me aburriría de ellos, ojalá vengan más celulares 3G pronto al Perú porque el Iphone todavía no me convence

En los pocos minutos que lo probé, el Safari se colgó cuando intenté recargar una web y luego de algunas maniobras (entiéndase por "maniobras": "movimiento brusco del aparato y el presionar botones aleatoriamente") logré recuperar el control de éste

Habían unas cuantas personas que me miraban mal pues llevaba unos 8 minutos con el Iphone así que decidí postear desde el MacBook Air que está al costado, en este momento hay 6 personas alrededor del iphone  (deberían poner más Iphones de muestra ya que todo el mundo se pelea por él)..

Ahora me voy a mi casa a ver el partido de vóley entre Perú y Venezuela, luego arreglo este post, ya que lo he escrito apurado porque el tipo de seguridad me está mirando feo y además hay varios sapos (chismosos, mirones, entrometidos) que están leyendo lo que escribo...

Grande attesa nella piccola città gioiello in provincia di Arezzo dove il cantante di 'Safari' vive e lavora da diversi anni e dove, ha conosciuto nel 1994 quella che domani diventerà ufficialmente sua moglie. La famiglia di Jovanotti è originaria del borgo dove lui trascorreva le vacanze, una cittadina dalle origini lontanissime, frequentata un tempo da Mitterand, oggi dalla Università della Georgia (USA). Il cantautore ha sofferto molto lo scorso anno per la morte dell'amatissimo fratello Umberto, caduto a bordo del suo ultraleggero.

Ora ha scelto di dividere, tra poco anche formalmente, la vita con quella che gliel'ha resa 'bella da morire'. Ma il 2008 è stato per Jovanotti soprattutto un anno pieno di soddisfazioni e colmo di successi. "Fango", il singolo estratto dall'album 'Safari' ha vinto il Premio Mogol.

L'appuntamento è alle 11 nella chiesa di Santa Maria Nuova. Seguirà un ricevimento privatissimo ma numeroso (si parla di 300 ospiti) nella villa della famiglia della sposa in san Martino a Bocena vicino a Cortona. Tanti gli esponenti del mondo della musica ma non solo: tra gli invitati, sicura la presenza del campione di motociclismo Valentino Rossi, mentre non è confermata quella del cantante Vasco Rossi. Quasi certo invece Ligabue (con Jovanotti non si parlavano da quasi due anni) e Nicoletta Mantovani moglie dello scomparso Luciano Pavarotti. E a Villa Valiani si stà allestendo un piccolo palco dove si alterneranno musicisti per ricordare proprio Big Luciano (di cui ricorre il primo anno dalla scomparsa).

Tra i nomi sicuri anche Pippo Baudo e Claudio Cecchetto.Tra gli invitati anche Silvio Muccino, Pino Daniele, i Negramaro, i Negrita e Syria. Probabile anche la presenza di Bono, degli U2 con cui Jovanotti condivide l'impegno umanitario. A officiare la cerimonia Don Gino Rigoldi quello del Beccaria, il carcere minorile di Milano. Con lui anche il parroco della coppia, don Antonio Mencarini. Come regali sono gradite offerte per l'associazione di Don Rigoldi che aiuta i bambini in Romania.

Top secret il menu del ricevimento (forse in gran parte vegetariano) così come l'abito degli sposi (anche se si sussurra che lei abbia scelto Roberto Cavalli e lui Costume National). Ma tutto potrebbe essere stravolto, almeno nei dettagli dell'organizzazione, dal vulcanico Jovanotti (nel '97 il matrimonio fu annunciato e poi annullato all'ultimo secondo, colpa delle suocere ha raccontato lui in seguito a un settimanale) .

Quindici anni di "storia d' amore" da festeggiare, tra alti e bassi ("innamorato? Credo. E lei ti ama? A suo modo", cantava in 'Tanto'). Domani il giuramento davanti a dio, e quindi basta scuse.

In addition to visitEarth's network of travel web sites, I've now launched a website design service element to support small, boutique tourism companies and tour operators. In additional to strategic consulting, site design, technical implementation, hosting and online marketing, visitEarth will provide free promotion and advertising on select sites. The services site is at www.visitearth.asia/services or www.visitearth.ca/services

As part of this launch, behind the scenes I've been working on a site for a new travel company based in East Africa and the US, called Everlast Tours & Safaris. They provide land and water adventures for Zanzibar, and guided safari tours to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, as well as expeditions up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Initial marketing support is on Zanzibar.cn.

If Mr A is right (I wouldn’t ever bet against he with the knowledge) in predicting Google’s strategy then it's more than ironic that Microsoft themselves had a similar browser project called Chrome! Scoble says Google must have a sense of humour. I’m not sure they’re the ones who need it in order to laugh – Microsoft must be livid. How hardball can you get? Execs all over Redmond must be dusting off their copies of The Art of War.

But Microsoft have at least entered a fighter into this boxing tournament with their latest version of Internet Explorer, IE8.

Reality check: that’s a gross exaggeration. It’s worth remembering that IE has a 73% market share according to Net Applications. Three quarters of users touch websites via Microsoft! Then again, no one believes ‘the cloud’ won’t revolutionise the way operating systems are used/needed/bought. That means ousting not just IE but Microsoft from newly built machines. (And I’ll never forget the Netscape browser had a 90% market share in the 1990s, proving total implosion is always possible.)

Mozilla’s Firefox remains the popular outsider - certainly until Chrome is available for the Mac - with 19% of the market. Its got loads of plug ins that tech users love, is the de facto browser for the discerning user and has just released a new version. Apple’s Safari has a respectable 6%.

Most early adopters seem to be giving Chrome the thumbs up, but can the Google brand pull it off. Will they just be seen as the new Microsoft? Firefox is the poor cousin everyone loves to love. Google don’t have the cards to play it in quite the same way.

All the guys and boys sure don't want their girlfriend, wife or parents to realize how addicted they are to porn. Now they have a very simple solution, Google Chrome. From now on, they can feel very comfortable browsing their favorite sites knowing that all the records will be deleted once they click the close button. Let's do the math, suppose 50% percent of all people browsing the web is guys and only one tenth of them wants/needs to have this special mode. That's already 5% of the entire browser martket. Notice Safari only have 6% of martket share at this point. IE is gonna have its share, but for the people who's looking for an alternative, Chrome seems to be a pretty good candidate.

I also see Chrome can be a good pick in school's computers. Schools want a browser that's secure, robust, and fast on slow computers. Right now, many schools already have firefox as the default browser for security reasons. Chrome is definitely more rebust, thanks to the one tab one process idea, and faster, this goes to the V8 javascript engine.

So....in the midst of the slowness I decided to download FireFox and check it out - see why so many people that read my blog use it over anything else. And seriously?......Why have I not checked it out before?  I am loving it and am thrilled with all the neato little add-ons that are available to make it even better. I've got a lot more checking out to do, but my initial impression is really good....I think Internet explorer is going away in my world.

As an aside....I also did some checking out and using both Safari and Google Chrome as well to see which one I liked best. I love Apple and if I had the $ I would have a Mac in a heartbeat, but I'm not feeling the Safari. It's too stripped down and not intuitive enough for me. And Google Chrome? I wanted to like it...I really did, but sadly, I liked it even less than Safari.....it's stripped down to the max and I'm a girl who likes her gadgets.

So there you have it.....my expert take on all things Technological. Aren't you glad you have me in your life!

• There are 30 species of leopard

• Leopards can weigh up to 200 pounds

• The average lifespan of a leopard is 20 years

• Leopards prefer to stalk their prey from trees and because they are slow eaters will drag their prey into a tree to keep other predators away

• Like domestic cats leopards hiss and spit when they are angry and purr when they are content

• Leopards lead solitary lives

• The gestation period for a female leopard is 90-105 days producing a litter of 2-4 cubs which are born blind. The cubs stay with their mother until they are 13-18 months old

• 40/50% of cubs don't reach adulthood
