With lot of curiosity I download the Internet Explorer RC 1 and tested it for Acid test 3.

It failed horribly and thanks to Microsoft for following standards. In the same time Safari 4 public beta is by far the only browser I know which has passed acid test 3 100%

I thinks it is high time for Microsoft to use Webkit for their browser

MailTags is one of the best plugin I ever used for my Mail application. I found this plugin when I had to organize my inbox with follow ups and todos. The plugin intergration with the application is very good.

After watching Apple WWDC 2008 Steve Job’s keynote it is very evident that we will not get iPhone in this region any time sooner. In around 70 countries iPhone will be available during this year. One such country which does not get is United Arab Emirates. What is stopping Apple to expand their products to Middle. Every other company in the world is make U.A.E as their product’s distribution hub.

Seeing the performance of the application on an iPhone I am really thrilled to jump into Cocoa programming language. I am sure it is going to be a little hard to being with. That is there with all programming language. Why not give it a try..!!!

After hearing the new 3G iPhone there are so many number of people at my office who have an iPhone is ready to sell and to get a new 3G iPhone. It is mainly because of the new features like 3G, GPS, and enterprise solution it is offereing. I am praying so much that iPhone dev team comes up with jailbreak for the new firmware version

The comments posted bellow by lot of companies are not verified by imthi.com. If anyone is buying iPhone from these sellers imthi.com holds no responsbilty if there is any issues. Thanks for your support.

Today I wanted install windows over Bootcamp. I totally forgot I got to have the Leopard DVD for me to install windows drivers. I had left my DVD in Sharjah. So after installing windows I boot back to OSX and started to search of the windows drivers. I could not get any drivers. It was frustrating that I could not find any of the drivers. Some blogs had some post regarding this and nothing could help me out.

Apple should be giving direct downloads for these drivers from their website. Or link location where people can download the drivers if they have lost of misplaced the installation CDs.

If you anyone had luck in installing the drivers for windows for Macbook pro please drop me a line how you did it
