Microsoft Admits Google Got Hacked Because of a Glitch in Internet Explorer
This is a tad ironic but Google is fuming mad because Chinese hackers attacked their email system by exploiting an Internet Explorer flaw. Internet Explorer 8 users should be bothered a little. The online giant announced last week that Chinese hackers accessed the email accounts of Chinese human rights dissidents. Google is already loudly threatening to pull out completely from China if the Chinese government doesn’t back off from requiring Google’s Chinese search engine to censor results that are critical of Chinese government policies. This debacle is getting worldwide attention since Google is showing some teeth against the powerful Chinese communist government. The company is not bluffing; it will bow out of the Chinese online market if the Chinese government won’t relent.

Google Chrome, Opera 10 Turbo, Mozilla Firefox, IE8: Which is the Best Web Browser??
Google Chrome vs Opera 10 Turbo vs Mozilla Firefox vs Internet Explorer 8? Which is really the best web browser? This one is tough to answer. First off, when Firefox was updated to 3.54, I have found the update to be more of a headache than a convenience. Recurring problems like unresponsiveness, hangs-ups and high CPU and memory usage were common (and frustrating). Aside from these, Firefox is a very secure browser. Firefox has so many functions built right into it which might explain the reason why it eats too much RAM.
Until now in Firefox version 3.5.4, flash apps like Facebook’s Farm Town consumes 256.6 Mb of memory. This behavior explains why my 6GB system is easily reduced to a crawl by Firefox because when I work, I open a lot of pages simultaneously and Facebook apps are among them. I play Farm Town and Restaurant City. When these apps are open altogether, the browser would suddenly quit and an error message is displayed which I close immediately out of despair.
Download Free Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) Optimized for Yahoo!
Since last week, Yahoo Messenger keeps popping up messages saying that Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is now ready for download on the Microsoft website (where else can you download it for free if not from the creators’ website). Apparently, IE8 was designed and optimized for Yahoo. Meanwhile, to start off this short review of the IE8 Beta we downloaded and tested a few weeks ago, all I can say is the new IE is ok, but not great.

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