Microsoft has just released Internet Explorer version 8.0 RC1, which is supposedly going to be bundled with Windows 7. But before you go and press the download button, let us have a look if they have made any substantial changes. In other words, is the new IE really worth it?
MS says: New rendering engine, support for CSS 2.1, ‘smart address bar’ ( very similar to Firefox’s Awesome Bar ).
It is not available for Macs, only for WinXP and Vista 32 and 64 bit versions. MS officials have confirmed of not going for any further changes in the user-interface or the programming from now onwards until its release. So pretty much, RC1 is what you would get. So, what’s different from the beta? MS has listed the whole list out here.
But seems like, more than that, IE (or rather MS) has picked up a few tips from Chrome (Google). Firstly, the separate process for each tab which would ensure IE would not crash for failure in one of the tabs.
Secondly, the “porn mode” or the InPrivate mode which is very similar to the Incognito Window in Google Chrome.
DownloadSquad has run a few tests comparing the IE8 RC1 with Google Chrome, Firefox 3 and Opera. The results are here.

Choosing the Right WordPress Theme
I hope you people might have noticed that I have two blogs, one is this- Techkeyla, and the other one is OneKnightStands or as most of my mates call it- OKS. It was launched alongside Techkeyla, last year when I joined the independently blogging band-wagon and left the Blogger camp. Things have been great since. Visitors multiplied, my posts got linked and I got readers from all across the world. But unfortunately I haven’t been able to write as much. So to break the hibernation, I thought of redesigning the theme. I was happy with the previous theme for it supporting my long posts and clarity of font. But I needed change. After all it was a year old. So I began my hunt for the perfect wordpress theme to work on.
Sources of Free WordPress Themes.
My search began with a google search, but it was just not quite adequate. So, the search led me to multiple other blogs and other sources which I am sharing with you.
1. Smashing Magazine
Just love this blog and the exhaustive amount of sources these guys have. Check the following posts e.g.
100 Excellent Free WordPress Themes
83 Beautiful WordPress Themes You (Probably) Haven’t Seen
2.The next huge resource for anything wordpress is Mashable. For themes, I seeked help from the following posts.
30+ WordPress 3-Column Themes
30+ WordPress 2-Column Themes
And then there are numerous other blogs providing lists of numerous WordPress Themes. Some of them are listed below (after the jump). [Continue Reading]

“The Eagle has Landed”..and well at half the price. The iPhone 3G is here and people it is up for grabs at half the price. The US pricing is : 199$ for the 8GB model and 299$ for the 16GB. The 8GB comes in black, and the 16 GB comes in black and a new white edition. But more than the design, and the added features, what has stormed me, you and every bloody geek around the world is “They did it, twice the speed at half the price”. The 3G means faster data transfer, faster downloads. And the new iPhone 3G capably promises all of these and more. Of course the suave touchscreen and Coverflow still remains. And with iPhone 2.0 you have access to the newest of what iPhone has to offer.
It is not surprising that Steve Jobs estimates that the iPhone will sell 10 million more by this year end. More so because the new 3G model makes its debut in 22 countries on July 11th. And more than that, later this year, the new iPhone 3G would be available in 48 more. That’s really huge. As they call it, the Lucky 22 are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US. Check out the post on EngadgetMobile for the entire List. [Continue Reading]
