Internet Explorer 9 is the perfect browser!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Are you laughing? Do you think this is a joke? because nothing could be further from reality. It turns out that the new Internet Explorer 9 on track to be the best browser on the market, leaving far to browsers such as FireFox and Google Chrome …

Click for large view

According to tests performed by Microsoft’s IE9 scored 100% in every test.
The test consists of 192 tests with collaboration of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the test includes testing of HTML 5, CSS 3, DOM Level, SVG … and a lot of things that god knows are

Well whether the result is 100%, you can see the entire test in the Windows Internet Explorer Testing Center I still can not believe it, as the saying goes “seeing is believing” but bueee… This would be a clear example of how to move from being the worst browser on the market to be the best and only one version.

Mono project brings .NET platform to the iPhone

Friday, August 14th, 2009


Video: MonoTouch iPhone Hello World [05:14 min]

Apple made several conditions to develop applications on its iPhone platform, one of them is unable to use any type of virtual machine execution engine or script as a basis for applications, only native code. This condition leaves no contests or sweepstakes to developers with extensive experience in Java and. NET, reducing the universe of developers who have knowledge in Objective-C, without being able to reuse their skills in other languages are more widespread.

But did not have the cunning of the Mono Project, the implementation of the open source platform. NET. A feature of Mono that is relevant in this context is the ability to compile code-compatible. NET code in native, he is called AOT (Ahead of Time). The idea is very similar to what GNU Compiler for Java (GCJ), part of GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and is making the source code and compile it instead of a virtual machine to compile the code Machine-specific, if iPhone is ARM code.

With AOT, laid the groundwork that makes sense to create MonoTouch, framework that has everything necessary for developers to create applications in C # and. NET for the iPhone.

MonoTouch access to all the potential of the iPhone’s APIs as well as the code and libraries that have been created around Mono. This will allow those with skills in C # and. NET can now start to use them in this exciting platform.

Vista will be sold until January of 2011

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

vista

According to a spokesperson for Microsoft the company expects to continue marketing its operating system Windows Vista until January 2011.

This is a little odd if we think we are now able to download Windows 7 RC, which would be marketed later this year or early next. With one year would be sold both OSes.

As for the support of Vista the company plans to extend it until April 2012, quite short compared with the support of XP, whose expiration date would be April, 2007 (in its various versions).

We know that Microsoft can offer its products for as long as it sees fit, but it is not clear if there is someone willing to buy Vista if Windows 7 is just out of the oven.

On Feb-09, Google has launched Google Latitude, which is taken to Google Maps mobile phones and mobile devices to share your current location in real-time with your contacts.

Google Latitude works with your existing Google account and you can send invitations to connect to people you want to connect to this service. For people who suffer from paranoia and want to maintain your privacy, the system can adjust the level of privacy desired.

This Google service is available in the following mobile platforms:

  • Almost all models of BlackBerry
  • Windows Mobile 5.0 onwards
  • iGoogle
  • Android
  • iPhone and iPod touch
  • Phones with Java (J2ME)

Knowing Google and the wide range of products and services offered will be a matter of time for us to interact with Latitude, Gmail, Google Calendar, and whatever else they happen in a not so distant future.

Google Latitude is available in 27 countries, including India, Brazil. I’m using it with AirTel Live & Nokia 51 !! :-)
