The Browser Race Is Getting Picking Up

I’m very glad that there 3 main players in the browser war: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome ( sorry Safari you still don’t count). 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. Its defaults have a very clean, clutter free view (very Chrome like) and are so far extremely fast.

EI VS Firefox

Co-Founders of Apple Sold Illegal Hardware

Did ya know that the co-founders of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were involved in building and selling illegal hardware?  Prior to Apple the Steves were into phone phreaking which is the act of using generated tone to hack the phone networks of the world. They build and sold devices called “blue boxes” that generated all the needed tone to phreak the phone systems. Like modern day hackers the used anonymous nick names.  According to Steve Wozniak’s 2006 biography iWoz he went by the name of “Berkeley Blue” (he was currently attending Berkeley College) and Steve Jobs went by “Ouff Tolbar”

New Apple iTunes User Agreement

I went to update some app on my iPhone and was blocked by a page saying that yet again the user agreement has changed! What has changed in it you may ask? Well I have no freaking idea. The agreement was 59 pages long! I did not want to wast my time sifting threw all that lawyer speak, I just wanted my apps updated. So I’m just one of the millions out there who jumped to the end to say “I Agree”. I really hope I did not sign my life’s saving over to Apple ( or something worse”.

Just logged into my gmail account and saw that they are now offering IP (internet protocol) to POTS (plain old telephone service).  Look out Skype there’s a new player in town, and they have deep pockets.
