1 Microsoft finally made a wise decision to allow Windows user to download Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 without the WGA validation test. In a way this will help the web developer and designer to provide better Web2.0 experience to Internet audience all around the world especially to those whom are loyal IE user (or those whom still not convince with the better alternative).
“Because Microsoft takes its commitment to help protect the entire Windows ecosystem seriously, we’re updating the IE7 installation experience to make it available as broadly as possible to all Windows users,” said Steve Reynolds, an IE program manager in a posting to a Microsoft company blog. “With today’s ‘Installation and Availability Update,’ Internet Explorer 7 installation will no longer require Windows Genuine Advantage validation and will be available to all Windows XP users.” - from ReleaseLog
With this decision, I have to wonder whether Microsoft will continue releasing bug update for IE6 or will it finally be the end of Web1.0 era? More the less, all web developer and designer should help this campaign to create awareness all around the globe. If we failed to promote alternative modern browsers than at less convince them to upgrade to IE7.

Bonjour Service Corrupt My Networks Connectivity
Another Safari bug...
Bonjour lets you create an instant network of computers and smart devices just by getting them connected to each other. With Bonjour for Windows, you can easily network your Windows computer to an existing network or create instant networks of multiple devices without any additional network configuration.
What does Bonjour have to do with me? For starter, recently I have install Safari 3 Beta for Windows which come bundle with Bonjour service and I install it as well (out of curiosity).
