Google Chrome – Day 2

September 3rd, 2008

The first thing to remember is, this is still beta. That said, the browser seems decent. It holds true to Google’s pursuit of starting with minimalistic features and building up from there. The interface is clean and responds fast. Threw an acid2 test on it for the hell of it. Passed it fine (as any other nowadays browser worth mentioning). A few issues I’ve noticed would be the noticeable lack of an ad-blocking feature (much needed in today’s internet browsing), and the fact that the installer was not proxy-friendly. Not an issue for me at home, but at work I had to resort to an offline setup file (not provided by Google yet).

And from what I’ve read around, there’s already a new security bug for it (or rather an old bug that resurrected due to Google Chrome being based on an old version of WebKit. Nothing to worry about if you’re smart enough not to fall for silly social engineering tricks.

All in all, this is a good first step for Google into the browser world, but there’s still a long way to make it a viable alternative to Firefox, Opera, and that other browser that once hogged almost all the market. :P

Minami-ke Anime’s 3rd Season Reportedly Green-Lit

August 30th, 2008

A third season of the anime adaptation of Coharu Sakuraba’s Minami-ke manga series has been reportedly green-lit in Japan. Minami-ke tells the story of three sisters who live on their own and depend on each other to solve whatever problems may arise. Sakuraba has been drawing Minami-ke in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine since 2004. The first season of Minami-ke (pictured at right) ran on TV Tokyo in 2007, while a second season ended wrapped up in March. Another Sakuraba title, Kyo no Gononi (Today in Class 5-2), has been made into a video series and is being animated for television this October as well.

Oso goes HDMI

July 8th, 2008

So, in one of the fastest buying decisions recorded in Oso’s history for expensive products, I bought a 32″ LCD TV; a Samsung LN32A450 to be precise.

Firefox 3 out

June 17th, 2008

Finally, FireFox 3 is out. Links haven’t updated on their site yet, only the banners, though. :kuma:

An officially unofficial europe site has them in Spain Spanish and British English (the bizarro languages of their american counterparts XD)

English (British)

Español (España)

I’ll wait till I get home to see if the official site has them by then. And probably a few days to install, until there are available add-ons for the new version. :P

UPDATE : Just as I finished this, the official site brought the links up.
