Microsoft say that IE8 is about getting the user the information they need FAST! They also make a rather bold statement saying it provides the user protection that no other browser can match!

How call is all that! I mean really I know we have alot of hi-tec gadgets in this day in age and nothing really amazes us anymore but this is truely amazing dont you think.
This is such a big thing that the bookies have got worries and have cut the odds on finding live on mars from 500/1 to 50/1.
A Google spokesman said: “We are entering uncharted territory.” Well thats a understanment is’nt it but i do love the guys over at Google, yer sure some people think they can be a bit harsh and controlling and I do belive they think their god sometimes but when there inventing and introducting tech like this then all I can say is good job and keep it coming guys.

Rumor: Premium App Store for High Priced iPhone Apps!
Tagged Under : App's Store, Apple, iPhone 3G
There’s loads of rumors flying around the net today that apple could be making a new app store dedicated to premium high priced apps only. Now I do have to stress these are just rumors, none of the developers out there could confirm this.
But thats think about this for just a minute, do we really want a high priced premium app store sure there are the benifits that the apps could be like full length games just downsized for the iPhone which would be great would’nt it.
Just imange your on the train and you could get a few rounds of COD (Call of Duty) in whilst travling would’nt that be just amazing but then the gates are open for apps to be charged like the games for a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS which I dont think i could justify to be totally honest, but hey like i said they are just rumors at the moment so we will just have to sit back and see what happens wont we.

Well bad news is on the horizion for all those YouTube users in the UK that watch & listen to music videos as they are blocking all premium videos after talks to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Right Society (PRS) broke down and failed.
Thousands of videos will be pulled from YouTube later today which is going to anger millions of reqular users out there.
Heres a short statement from the BBC News website,
”Patrick Walker, YouTube’s director of video partnerships, told that the move was “regrettable”. Steve Porter, head of the PRS, said he was “outraged… shocked and disappointed” by YouTube’s decision. In a statement, Mr Porter said the move “punishes British consumers and the songwriters whose interests we protect and represent”. The PRS has asked YouTube to reconsider its decision as a “matter of urgency”. Loading ...Read the rest of this entry »
I received a nice parcel this morning from the guys over at BudgetGadgets.com which included this great Dual-Torch Windproof Butane Gas Lighter.
It’s not just a lighter though oh no it’s what every boy and man needs in there pocket, it includes a small 2” knife, a small pair of scissors, nail file, bottle opener and a flat head screwdriver!
So what do I think of it?
Well from picking it up its got a nice weight and to it but not too much to weight you down thought which is nice, it’s got a very comfortable soft rubber grip which you can tell is good quality and its overall look is great it’s a mix of chrome and brushed steel.
The tools that are included with this lighter are neatly hidden in the handle, scissors are on the left hand side which we easy to pull out and are good enough for me as they cut paper, thin plastic, string and card what more could you want to cut from a small portable pair of scissors?
The knife and file are on the right hand side of the handle, the knife is easy to slide out with the tip of your nail and is relatively sharp for general uses but could be sharpened if needed but as its only 2” I think it fine as it is, and now the file which did prove to be a little hard to get out of the handle not because of being stiff it’s just hard to grip with the tip of your nail. Once out it’s a nice file with a bottle opener on the bottom and the tip is a flat head screwdriver, which is perfect for them times when you need them.
Now to the main function of the lighter and that’s the FIRE! The button to ignite the lighter is nice and fits the thumb perfectly, on pressing down the button the top cap that covers the lighter opens quickly and smoothly lighting the double jet flames instantly.
The dual jet flames are very very powerful and very hot which is overall the main thing you want from a lighter, the flame can be adjusted at the bottom by turning a small wheel left or right which is next to the fuel refill inlet.
To sum up this lighter I would say that it’s the perfect lighter for anyone one who wants a quality build product at an unbelievably low price of $6.88, click here to view the product page.
