The ultimate reason to upgrade to IE 8!!

After reading the article from CNET, I finally know why I need to upgrade my IE browser...

At first, I thought I shall not when I read this:

Using the SunSpider JavaScript test, the official IE 8 scored 9849.4ms on a Windows Vista machine with 2GB of RAM and a 3GHz clock. This is significantly slower than most other major browsers. Not surprisingly, Microsoft claims (scroll down to Case Study Videos) that these kinds of speed tests aren't relevant to how most people use their browser, and there may be some legitimacy to that.

Still slower than most major browsers, I thought, nah, why resort to a slower browser when you have the faster ones.

But I continue reading all the interesting features in IE 8 until finally:

Drawbacks aside, there's no reason not to upgrade if you're an old fan of IE, and there's even a few things in IE 8 for new users. Even though there are some nice usability features in IE 8, I think Internet Explorer has a long way to go to replace the damage that the notoriously insecure IE 6 did to its reputation.

Now I know, it's not that we all need to use IE 8 but those who are IE users should upgrade their IE to IE 8. :p

And for this, I know that IE 6 is so damage, that IE's reputation can hardly please those who've since sourced for other browsers... Too bad. I do hope one day IE will really become better, for the sake of many web applications.

P/S: I wonder why other browsers are getting better but not IE? hmm 0.o

MS Office

I've been getting the annoying message from my Microsoft Office Applications.

Which a pop up box kept saying:
Title: MS Office Live Add-in
Message: Connecting to the network failed. Try again later.

I'm like so the blur what is this add-in message keeps bugging! Until I found this:

Solution:
excel options > add-ins > comm add-ins > go > uncheck office live add-in > ok

Phew~ at least now I know there is this annoying add-in keeps bugging!

Batman - The Dark Knight

I've just finish watching the movie of Batman - The Dark Knight.

The only conclusion that I have is, "Who are you to think that you can outlive anyone?"
Often times, I thought I'm better, I feel proud of what I've done but what about the things I do when no one sees me? What about the bad thoughts I've had about someone?

I've never felt so bad. My spirit is broken.
I need some time off. I could barely breathe.

Sins and guilt, fear and greed, I've got them all just like anyone on the earth. For what reason shall I feel any better about what I did? I have none. Do you?
