PC fair babes

A slightly larger resolution can be seen on our Flickr page

Pikom PC Fair 2009 ended yesterday. The crowd was heavy like last year. (Recession? What recession?). Above were the only photos i snapped during the event.

Meizu miniplayer

I bought a MeiZU miniplayer. I chose this one over the new Creative mp4 player due to its sleek design, and usability. It’s very slim, light-weight and doesn’t have any ugly buttons on it. You just need to slide your finger on the pad to increase the volume or change the song. Almost ipod-like. It came with a 1-year warranty. The salesman claimed that a 2-hours fully charged battery can last up to 24 hours. I have yet to test it. Maybe tomorrow, and we’ll see if there’s any truth to that. But i can’t deny, this thing really looks good =)

Awesome !

Microsoft just released this 3 new ads as a counter reply to Apple’s Mac vs PC ads. It pokes fun at the whole Mac vs PC stereotype.

Personallly, i think these are brilliantly done. (Scroll down for links to youtube version)

And oh, it’s silverlight =)

Google Chrome : yet another browser to test against

Google has released their own take of a browser : Chrome a couple days ago. In addition to the much hyped multi process tabs, the simple straight forward design, i think the incognito mode is quite interesting. That mysterious looking spy in thrench coat image on the top left of the browser window does makes your private browsing ‘experience’ feel more secure… But just make sure that there’s nobody standing behind.

So great, now i have another brand new browser to test against. The first thing i did was to load up all of our sites and web app into the browser for a test run. Everything worked as expected. There’s a slight design issue with our main site when viewed in Chrome but this was also expected since the problem is caused by hacks that I use to make the layout IE compatible (IE still sucks). If your coding is standard compliant, then you don’t have to worry.

I dont know how many browsers does other developers/designers usually test against but for now i’m fine w/ Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari, Opera.

You can get the IE standalone browsers over here : http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone

If you’re very ambitious to test your stuff against more browsers, Evolt has a good collections of browsers for download : http://browsers.evolt.org/

If you’re not too fond of downloading gazillions of browsers into your PC, and you’re only testing the layout, you can get a screenshot of your sites in multiple browsers (more than 46!) here : http://browsershots.org

Else, just test in Firefox. If it’s OK in Firefox, it should be OK in almost all major browsers (but probably not in IE)
