Users from 68 countries have rated their browser experience and sent uTest on the most bugs in the top three Web browsers. Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.1 and Google Chrome were on the list.
Some proud owners of shiny new aluminum MacBooks and MacBook Pros are finding that the purchase is not quite living up to its name. It seems that the new laptops have trouble with gaming because there are reports of lockups with blank screens and infinitely looping audio when certain games are played.
If you are prone to dropping your electronics or like using them in areas where water can splash on them this may be for you. A company called Golden Shellback is offering to use a rather unique process to waterproof your precious device.
Microsoft has been working on its next version of Internet Explorer for a while now but the question is does anyone really care now? Firefox 2.0 and 3.0 have a combined market share of around 30 percent with IE6 and IE7 holding around 60 percent. Various other browsers make up the rest.
It could be argued that buying anything from Best Buy is a bad idea but laptops especially. There are any number of things that could be wrong with a laptop right out of the box, usually cosmetic or problems with the LCD. In my opinion, there is no reason at all that a laptop should not be 100% perfect right out of the box. Just about any laptop from Best Buy from various manufacturers will not meet that criteria.
If there were any computers on the planet capable of being invulnerable from a computer virus, it should be the laptops on the space station. Unfortunately for NASA, it seems that one has managed to sneak onboard the station and plot the overthrow of mankind cause a nuisance for both the astronauts and mission control.
Everyone loves a good bargain especially Sams Club and Costco shoppers. Well, here’s a deal that just might be for the poorest 2 billion people on the planet. Extremely cheap solar cells made using a pizza oven, nail polish and an inkjet printer.
Did you think that JavaScript performance was slow in Firefox? If you did then you will be happy, if not downright elated to know that Mozilla plans a “massive performance boost” for Firefox 3.1.
Everyone knows that the sound on a laptop isn’t the best, even with the best built-in speakers. Sure, you could connect Logitech G-51 speakers to your laptop but that kind of defeats the purpose.
That shiny new XPS M1530 or M1330 available from Dell may be equipped with a defective nvidia graphics chip. If you are a new customer looking to get those (and other) Dell laptops, or an existing customer consider any issue arising from that covered.
Are you an iPhone or iPod Touch owner? Want to let people you know have money to burn? Then the “I am Rich” application which was in the iTunes App Store may have been for you.
Oh what a tangled web corporations weave. Comcast doesn’t care for Verizon and Verison doesn’t care for it. Neither of those two care for the existence of Cox cable, Time Warner or Charter. Yet each must deal with the existence of the others.
Circuit City isn’t posing much of a threat to similar stores like Best Buy and Future Shop. For the fifth straight quarter the electronics giant has lost money. It has lost even more money than it did in the previous quarter. This time the loss amounted to the tune of just under $165 million.
Comcast is one of the favorite punching bags for customer services issues. The company just doesn’t care about its customers and certain lackluster in-home service technicians prove it. Comcast can’t be held accountable for a few “bad eggs” but largely all service from Comcast is similar.
Dell’s service is a mixed bag but certainly no one would expect to be given a phone sex line number instead of the correct Dell support number. That’s exactly what happened to one unlucky user with his boss on the line.
It’s official, the AP (associated press) has finally lost all its marbles. The organization now wants to charge anyone who quotes their content $2.50 per word or $12.50 for five words. It could be that rates go up beyond that point.
Wired Magazine always makes for an interesting read, but I never actually buy an issue. Yeah, I was the guy who would walk into Barnes and Noble to read magazine(s) I had an interest in but wouldn’t subscribe to… unless the price was right. A discount magazine website is currently offering one year of Wired for just $3, or 2 years for $6.
