Microsoft playing HTML 5 standards game alongside Silverlight game

I’m at Mix10 in Las Vegas where Microsoft has been showing off the latest preview of IE9 – you can try it here , provided you have Vista SP2, Windows 2008 or Windows 7. The two themes are performance, with GPU-accelerated HTML and graphics and a new Javascript engine that compiles code in the background, and standards support. This latter was not a surprise to me, as I’d heard the well-informed Molly Holzschlag praise Microsoft’s commitment to HTML5 at a workshop here on Sunday – see this earlier post

President Obama Offers Support for ACTA

The expansion of the Internet has generated an evolving platform for which information can be exchanged. While this has revolutionized the ease of information access, there have been some strong negative consequences, especially for intellectual property rights. Illegal downloads and torrents have made acquiring digital property a breeze, but the legal stipulations remain complex and litigated.  One proposed solution, a multi-national pact known as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, would offer forth a series of international standards on intellectual property rights

A look at the Asus Eee PC T101MT

This machine looks a bit handy, it is the Asus Eee PC T101MT and has to be compared with the Asus Eee PC T91MT as it is almost identical all but for a couple of changes that mainly concern the display and the processor.

SingTel & Ericsson Ride The Waves of LTE Technology

Could not make it for this event as it is held during office hours, but nevertheless, I want to see how LTE can take mobile network to the next level. With the increasing number of smartphone users in the market, the demand for faster bandwidth and speed for mobile data transfer have also increased. I hope they do eventually trial the LTE in the MRT as I can’t even get a proper 3G signal in the MRT (blue and red line).

“Will It Grow” (Jakob Dylan acoustic cover song) – The Laptop Sessions

For Jakob Dylan chords & lyrics, CLICK HERE ! By Chris Moore: I hope you enjoy seeing me with hair tonight, because as of Wednesday evening, it’s gone!  That’s right — I’ve decided to shave it all off.  Well, maybe “decided” is a strong word.  One of my colleagues, one who offered a great deal of useful advice during my first year teaching, asked me if I would join an English department team for this year’s “St. Baldrick’s” event.  I couldn’t turn down an opportunity to join in with my fellow English teachers, and as you may know, it isn’t all that often that someone asks me to join a team!  So, off goes the hair in the name of raising money to fight children’s cancer.  I’m currently at the bottom of the list of fundraisers on my team (listed online as $0, although I have raised about $65 from staff and students at school that will be added tomorrow)

Sandvich and Health-Pack Cakes are Credit to Team

I know video-game cakes are a bit of a faux-pas on gaming blogs these days, but I don’t care. User “woodsman707″ on Reddit , like any good father, celebrated his son’s birthday with the above Sandvich cake his daughter’s with the Left 4 Dead Health-Pack below. Even though I don’t think they look tasty (I know, I know, blasphemy), I do think they look brilliant.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11 review

Panasonic’s compact cameras are usually solidly built and well designed, and the 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FS11 is no exception. While it’s not the most versatile snapper in the world — its pictures suffer from noise in low light — it is highly pocketable, very simple to use and pretty affordable too
