Competition forces the browser make to not be satisfied with what they have, driving them to constantly improve there work. This came to mind after I installed the latest beta of IE9.

A Question
I know that my spelling skills are sub par. And having a computer with spell check since grade 2 ( Word Perfect 5.2) has not helped my case.

Google Buzz is Now Live
I logged into my Gmail account today and found it had a new feature called buzz. The idea seem good it just looks like another mash of social networks (Twitter and Facebook mainly).
