Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 Features: Will IE8 Beat IE7 in Security and Privacy?

August 28, 2008 · Filed Under Internet Technology · 4 Comments 

Photo of Internet Explorer 8 Beta LogoThe much-anticipated release of Internet Explorer 8 (IE) Beta 2 has finally come. Many eager internet users patiently waited for the release of IE8 Beta 2 because its predecessor, Internet Explorer 7 has faced so many controversies in the past in terms of privacy and security. At the moment, I am still inclined to use Firefox 2.0.014 because so far, I have not encountered a serious flaw in this version. With Internet Explorer 7, when my websites did not load properly the first time I used it, I have stopped using IE7 since then. I was not able to evaluate very well the performance of IE7 because of my immediate dismay. I hope IE8 Beta 2 will not replicate the same flaws in IE7.

According to reports, a spectacular closing ceremony opened with torrents of fireworks (photo on the left during the closing ceremony) and included a pulsating show-within-a-show by London, host of the 2012 Games. Overall, the 2008 Beijing Olympics was success and the closing ceremony showcased stars like Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page who played classic rock hit “Whole Lotta Love” and soccer icon David Beckham. If I attended the 2008 Beijing Olympics closing ceremony, I would have captured the event using an iPhone 3G or a high-quality cell phone, not a knockoff cell phone like N99i although N99i is made in China.
