IE8! Greater than the Internet it self... NOT!

It has been around for some days on the web and everyone is making fun of Microsoft.
What? This of course!

You've probably already seen it but it's fun to look at it again. Bill, what were you thinking when you hired the guy who did this? That sure screwed you...

Sure IE8 is better than IE7 but better than Chrome or Firefox? You're saying that wtf engine is better than Webkit? Oh God...
But my favorite parts are:

- "Internet Explorer 8 has the most comprehensive developer tools built in, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript editing, but also JavaScript profiling; other browsers have developer tools available, but either require you to download them separately, or aren't as complete."

So IE8 comes with a suppa duppa spida-man developing tool and Firebug is just a peace of garbage?

- "Sure, Firefox may win in sheer number of add-ons, but many of the customizations you'd want to download for Firefox are already a part of Internet Explorer 8 – right out of the box."

Yeah, you bet you fat ass that Firebox wins ( not "may win", it wins ). Sure, IE8 comes with AdBlock lots of themes and huge amounts of download managers... That's just... sad.
And I don't know how Microsoft can say this after admitting that creating addons for IE8 is quite difficult unless you use Microsoft's technologies which many people dislike.


I prefer to look at this version that I've found at Webmonkey, I believe that it's more reliable...

Microsoft, your OS is quite good,( not Vista! Vista sucks baullz ) your console is good and some of your software is really nice ( like Visual Studio and Office ) but IE will suck forever unless you stop saying that you're the best and start doing some real work in it.

This post was not that good because everything I have to say about Microsoft's browser involves hard swearing...

Oh well!

Apart:
By the way I got 187 new RSS readers and I don't know where they came from. Maybe I've appeared in some news website or in the top results of Google in some topic!?
Quite nice! Thanks for everyone who subscribed to me and for the usual guys!

Peace!

Posterous

Haven't had much time to do a post or any topic to talk about, but I've decided to talk about this little service that I've found accidently and which I find quite interesting.

It's called Posterous and it's the easiest way to get a blog!

1. First... don't sign up. There is no need for you to do so because all the post and configuration are e-mail oriented.

2. Email your post to post@posterous.com attach photos, video...

3. Check your new blog. The URL would be yourname.posterous.com, you can edit it later if you don't like it.

And that's the easy it gets. You'll then have more advanced configuration like tags ( if you call that advanced... ) and you can also add contributors.
Oh, you'll also get a profile page that you can edit.

Quite fun, have to create one for my own... I just need to get something to write in it! Have any suggestion? Leave a comment!

Fixing Safari 4 Encoding Issue

I've been using Firefox on my MAC since Safari 4 Beta came out. Why?
Because it had an encoding issue that pissed me off ( really ).

When I went to some website sometimes the text appeared all stupid and with very strange characters, I tried to change the text encoding to all the possibilities, but nothing.
I made some debugging and found out that in the source code the text appeared correctly and when I copied and pasted the strange text to any editor it appeared correctly as well so it got to be a Safari issue.
Yesterday, the non-beta version of Safari 4 came out ( with the classic tabs again, I really prefer them! ) and I had hopes that they've had fixed the issue but... they haven't.

So what? If Apple didn't fix the issue, it had to be a problem of my own and not a general problem.
I made some search and finally found something that turned out to be useful, here's what to do:

1 - Close Safari 4

2 - Go to Home/Library/Preferences and search for com.apple.Safari.plist

3 - Delete that file

4 - Open Safari 4

Your preferences should have disappeared but now you should see the websites with the strange encoding fine.

It worked for me. Hope it works for you as well!
