IE 8.0 going over to IE 9.0

I thought IE 8.0 was work in progress! It looks like Microsoft will be talking about IE 9.0 soon. If that is the case, what about IE 8.0? The frequent hanging of the browser driving you crazy is one of the most exasperating experiences I have ever had. The funny thing is, if you click on a new tab and go back to the one that stalled it refreshes faster. But wait, Google Chrome is no better either. It hangs, and after a while the screens refresh, crawling from top to bottom soooooo slow that you wish you had clicked open  IE 8 instead. Also several of the videos I have recently viewed have pushed Chrome to crash. May be Firefox is the sure thing. ... (more)

Released DoJ Documents Show Darker Side of Steve Jobs

By ShannonPerry Nearly everyone has an opinion of Steve Jobs. Since his death in 2011, a bad movie, a weighty autobiography, and numerous anecdotes have surfaced – describing his inexhaustible ambition, his excitable, and his disrespect for others. Perhaps you have heard pieces of the rumored fish tank incident? After painstakingly designing and building the world’s very first iPod, a team of engineers presented their creation to Jobs, who immediately rejected the mode. Too big. When the engineers pushed back – maintaining that they had “reinvented reinventing” to make the iPod its small size, Jobs dropped the prototype in a nearby aquarium. When bubbles floated to the surface, Jobs snapped, “Those are air bubbles. That means there’s space in there. Make it smaller.” Many internal Apple correspondences have recently surfaced following a Department of Justice inve... (more)
