I will continue using Chrome
I dont like to write about hot topics. Waste of time mostly since everyone tends to overpush it. But IE 9 Beta brings important points, so here is my resume:
1. Nicely implements Chrome logic of tabs and big screen for website
2. Speed is nicely improved, though the feeling of being stuck is still there
3. Its designed as it should be. The great MS feeling for design. Windows and Office users will LOVE it.
4. Downloading is as stupid as it can be.
5. Microsoft wants to loose its market share. Downloading it takes too many clicks. Installing is too many clicks. First use is too many clicks.
6. Microsoft want to loose its market share. You cant install it on WinXP.
7. Microsoft does NOT want people to download IE 9. Here is the exact way to NOT get it:
- go to http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx => CLICK FREE download
- you come here http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/internetexplorer/ => CLICK Get it NOW
- you come here http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/ => click Download NOW
- another beautiful window arises telling you that it it Win7 or Vista only
As one of many Win XP users you give up. Not to mention Mac and Linux users. Youre just waste of Microsoft money.
OK, Microsoft really has a bad attitude towards web-download-use process. It is always a mess of unlogical 20-times confirmation of legal and ilegal and mostly legal notices. Questions about what you really want. Facts about the beauty of their products. Facts about pirates and illegal equipment. Facts about the features of the great Microsoft products.
I know, I bought Windows 7 once. After 30 minutes of WANTING TO BUY I gave up and called Microsoft to tell me where I can buy. After 10 minutes on phone (now thats a process!) I got info about Irish website where EU customers can buy it. So it was 50 minutes shopping for 1 Windows7.
But lets forget for a minute that Microsoft does NOT want people to buy their products. Forget that downloading their products is big pain for experienced users. Lets focus on beauty of the web, IE9, comparing to others.
IE9 passed the css test. Great, all that I ever wanted. But does this box seem to be having rounded corners ?
NO. So nothing will change actually. Well still need to develope websites for IE especially. Ugly. No further test needed.
I will continue using Chrome. Just because I dont care which version it is for more than a year. It just updates whenever theres something new. No download button. No Get it now button. No FREE download button. No Accept button. No legal notice. Just small, natural, evolutionary changes every once in a while. And normal css support.
And Im sure this is something all other browsers still need to learn. "Versions" are useless for users. They can be some marketing point, but needless and pointless in the future of browser wars.

If We Digg Together We Will StumbleUpon Some Del icio us Mahalo Soup!
- Digg
- StumbleUpon
- del.icio.us

If We Digg Together...
Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by their users.
...We Will StumbleUpon...StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. It uses ratings to form collaborative opinions on website quality. When you stumble, you will only see pages which friends and like-minded stumblers have recommended. This helps you discover great content you probably wouldnt find using a search engine.
...Some Del.icio.us...
del.icio.us is a social bookmarking (collection of favorites) website. The primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders. In addition, you can share your favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community. 
...Mahalo Soup!
Mahalo (Hawaiian for Thank you) is a human-powered search engine that creates organized, comprehensive, and spam free search results for the most popular search terms. Their search results only include great links (or links filtered by humans!).
If Googles arsenal of learning tools (including blogs) does not get you where you want, these four human-powered social learning tools (Fantastic Four!) could do the trick. Sometimes, you need collective human filtered intelligence to find the stuff you are looking for, and other times Google Search is sufficient. Find the right blend and you might have a winning formula to finding amazing learning stuff in this amazingly fast growing information galaxy (overload!). I suppose sometimes machine-powered search engines need help to understand the contextualized meaning of apple, bush and paris :)
