Internet explorer is almost here and since the last post about the beta, I really hasn't seen a point in writing another post on the RC (release candidate) . It really isn't that interesting.
So here goes for the BL (before launching)
beauty of the web started out as another Microsoft browser, brining Html 5 to the table.
Quickly other browser makers and brands upgraded there browser to be Html 5 compatible.
beauty of the web adapt a new interface and feeling. making use of your GPU(Graphical processing unit)
instead of just the CPU.
there were a few bugs and nicer interface ideas to brining more eyecandy to interface.
when the RC released the experience where more smother and less buggy.
the RC was also what you were able to expect in the final version of IE9. I must say I was quite impressed on my windows machine... ( I am still an Opera and chrome user)
IE9 is only available on vista and windows 7 machines. making windows xp feel old, but hey chrome is also as good, maybe even better!
I don't really think that Internet explorer is even worth it even more, YES they brought Html 5 to the table (I think IE4 brought html to the table, not sure) but either than that there UI isn't that good compared to Firefox, Opera and chrome
the disable add-ons pop-up is annoying.
I must say it's faster, but chrome is also fast :(.
the UI's layout is stupid, who want the tabs to be next to the URL. blocking the view of the URL (who knows if your on the right site or a scam site?)
also the add-ons bar wasn't improved in the RC (nothing more to say about it till in final release)
wasn't there hiccups on Facebook? let's hope that gets fixed.
and isn't there security holes?
but other than that it's completely better than IE8/IE7
what do you think?
Is cleaning your pc really that easy?!
You can now clean you computer inside out with the help from a local gas station with a high compression pump.
Is it necessary to clean my computer inside?
Yes, having a dusty computer can lead you to pay more $$$$. Many parts inside the computer can break and degrade if it isn't clean.
It really isn't that hard to do, and don't cost a lot of money. Would you rather take half an hour of your time to go and clean your pc, or have to pay money for fixing it?
An half an hour, 3-4 months is all it takes!
Remember! Not only your computer inside gets dirty and dusty, many labs have reported that there are more germs on your computer keyboard than on a toilet!
Cleaning the screen, keyboard, and mouse can also prolong there lives. Just remember to use the CORRECT cleaning agent!
Once a week is enough to keep your computer “living” much cleaner....
Now lets move to the more “geeky” side, Your OS (operating system) also gets dusty, the thing is we cant see it!
Using tools like Ccleaner for windows and mac-keeper for Mac, can keep your OS fresh and clean making it run faster, stable and less worry free. Imagine the OS as a big file, every once in a wile it has to be sorted! The same with your OS, sometimes files can land where they are not needed or Must be, using programs and application to get this files where they need to be will put the dust to rest on another machine not ours!

Making a switch from Windows to Linux
Making a switch from windows to Linux isn't that difficult, all you need is the will to completely do it!
You have to remember always adapt. Not using windows any more, means not using most windows programs, you will have to learn seeking alternatives. Lets say you use the Microsoft Office suite
you will now have to learn using the Open office suite. Mainly all the programs will be different in application form. Your main task will be to turn PROGRAMS into APPLICATIONS.
New application awaits you, like Thunderbird mail client, rhythmbox music player, VLC video player, OpenOffice.org office suite and pidgin IM.
Also new ways of doing things. You are used of using a control panel in windows right?
Well in the biggest Linux distro ubuntu, there is no control panel, which means doing thing way differently. Alternatively you have a “control panel” menu called the settings menu.
Also some stuff isn't that easy to do, just like on windows (only x2 worse). Doing things like:
~ installing an unknown application that isn't in the ubuntu software centre nether in the synaptic centre, you will have to go and add the whole “registry” path for that application (which by the way is called the repository)
~ The Drivers :(, That is halfway fixed, but on some Linux ditsro(the Linux flavour) You don't even get it to work out of the box!
~ and mainly some other “stuff”
The choice is yours, ether stay with the easy windows or go to the Linux experience, that offers:
~ freedom of choice, ~ virus free computing, ~ a really great experience when everything finally works, ~ really cool effects and skins!
Earcandy, some how related to eyecandy? ~ Linux
I have been using ubuntu nearly a year and a half now and I have never seen this application.
Earcandy is an application which is interpret using Pulseaudio. The app fade out music whenever you receive a Skype call or make one, also when you have music playing and then switch to a video.

Imagine, you are rocking to your favourite type of music and all of a sudden you receive a Skype call, (you quickly need to mute the music and awnser the call), while doing this you worry about the caller and when he might put down. In a hurry you ACCIDENTALLY turn the music LOUDER instead of softer. finally when the music is muted the caller already putted down.
Now imagine this! You are rocking to your type of music when suddenly the music fade out and you hear the Skype caller tone, you press answer :) and enjoy your call.
download earcandy today at the Ubuntu software center....

Can a virus sneak over a VM machine, to your host?
This question was asked on lockergnome.net:
I will firstly give the other users chance to explain and answer before I make my point of view:
The question was:
Just wondering as I am starting to use VM's and I would just like to be clear on this issue, basically, if you get a virus in your VM will or can it then get onto your main OS? Thanks.
The question was:

Some answers:
I've heard they can't, and I can see where this idea came from.
I think you'll be safe, and all considering, unless you used a VM for something specific that's known to be dangerous, you're more likely to get your main OS infected
well it depends on how you set it up, i use VMware and by default its set up so it cant read any of your files, but you can set it up so you can access your own files through the virtual machine. but as you may imagine, enabling that option will leave your main OS susceptible to any virus or malware you may recieve in your virtual machine... so as long as you have it set up to where it cant read or access any of your files on your main OS you are fine
Well They sumed it up great, just one thing I have learned. If you share your host files/folders with the VM make it a read only setting for then viruses won't be able to make an copy of themselves on the folder. Also if you test AV's on your VM make sure your host pc Has user account changes on so youl know when that happens, also scan your pc after the test you have run.I recommended Hitmanpro and also Comodo cleaning essentials .If you use your VM for other things, make sure an antivirus is installed. If you run a VM with Linux on I won't bother to worry about viruses.
Are you sure your safe?I use Comodo internet security for my Protection,Comodo protect, Other AV's Clean, No cleaning for Comodo already PROTECTED :)
Facebook! photo view
some like it, some hate it.
for me it was an instant upgrade from that old photo view mode, now i can easily return to my will with just pressing close. no need to load my wall again....
I also like the black background that fades out the wall.
Here's what some users said on lockergnome.net :
I don't think it's any "faster" per say, I think it's about the same as far as loading is concerned. I think they just wanted to simply "change" something, so they chose to change that. No different that viewing photos before other than now you have a black background behind it. Big deal.
For me it's much buggier. Speed hasn't improved, just Facebook being Facebook I guess!what do you think?
