Using Internet Explorer ? Try the new “Chrome Frame”
Sep 28th
Google just released a new project they had been working on, it’s called “Chrome Frame”. What it basically does it that now, if you use the Internet Explorer browser, 6,7 or 8 , you just have to install a plugin for the browser, and for pages that have a small code in them, the “Google Frame” will do the rendering of the page as you were on the Chrome browser, which is better, fast, stable, open and best of all, it has a light rendering engine.
The frame implements that rendering engine in IE, but yes, the web developers need to implement that small code (metadata) in they’re websites for the “Google Frame” to come into action.

A touch of music :)…. Spotify
Sep 28th
Not long ago, me and a buddy discovered a great service (and way) to listen to music, the service is a combination of online music archive and quality streaming, this one is huge, and from where i stand, this will catch on very quick as fast as it will be world wide.
Momentary, the service is only for UK residents, and the name is Spotify.
I’ll do my best to explain to you music loving people, how to get an account on Spotify, but beware, the free service is add supported, and from time to time you will here this ads play, but for 9 pound fee is worth the quality and the richness of the service without ads. I am a user of the free service. More >
Intel Core i5 CPU’s , what about ?
Sep 21st
New CPU’s, new socket, new Core i5, and soon (Celeron replacement) core i3 and high end 6-core, core i9.
The i7 series when introduced was a big upgrade even to the high end quad-core cpu’s. The core i7 is still one of the best things money can buy and technology can produce.
The Core i5 is the medium performance in a good-better-best style of products.
On September 8, 2009, Intel released the first Core i5 processor named “Core i5 750″ clocked at 2.66 GHz in a quad-core. More >
Just a beer and high tech
Sep 19th
So, I find my self sitting around in Van Graph K-FE in Timisoara, Romania, having a beer and taking a break from the usual routine daily life, errr, sometimes the guy need a break.
So, except using Windows 7 x64 as my primary os and buying myself a new 320 GB Western Digital SATA-II drive, nothing unusual happened.
I’m waiting like a lot of people for the Google Chrome OS, in the last while, I liked a lot Google’s way of presenting the user interface in their apps. Minimal, easy, consistent, yet powerful.
What’s your opinion on Google and the Chrome OS in the market of current systems?
