Firefox 3.5 faster and stealth browsing features
Mozilla has launched its latest browser, Firefox 3.5, and at first glance it appears to be an improvement with solid reviews. It certainly is speedier, but the broader question is whether the Firefox can adjust as a 300 pound gorilla.
Firefox has gained about 3 percentage points to 22.5 percent in market share, according to Net Applications’ statistics since July 2008, and Firefox backer Mozilla doubtless hopes for more gains with Tuesday’s release of Firefox 3.5. But Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome each gained 2 percentage points, to 8.4 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively, indicating a growing appetite for alternatives to Internet Explorer that’s not completely met by Firefox. Opera stayed flat at about 0.7 percent. ( I use both version 9 and 10, slim and fast) Read the rest of this entry »

Terminal Hentian Tasik Selatan for KL
Terminal Hentian Tasik Selatan is expected to be replacing Hentian Puduraya. This however an overdue “migration” for the infamous KL traffic bottleneck. Not sure if they would completely close Puduraya, as the name itself and the surrounding area are consider a tourist spot.
Now it is time to re-evaluate MRR2, especially in Bandar Tasik Selatan to disperse future traffic increase within those area.
Here are the current snapshot of the Tasik Selatan Terminal building constructions.

PDFCreator with PDFForge is causing havoc with toolbar install
PDFCreator, formerly a respected open source product, is causing havoc with a malware install toolbar. Amazingly SourceForge hasn’t done anything about this yet and still lists the software, and for many their trust level is shaken as well.
Here are the latest features though:
PDFCreator easily creates PDFs from any Windows program. Use it like a printer in Word, StarCalc or any other Windows application.
We are proud to announce the release of PDFCreator 0.9.8
Again, we have some improvements
* Uses GPL-Ghostscript 8.64 now.
* Improved PDF/A compatibility.
* New output format SVG (experimental)
* Improved check for updates on PDFCreator.
* Improved COM interface
* plus small fixes and improvements
Some of the users comments
“I would strongly recommend that one does not install this version of PDFCreator. Even if I didn’t choose to install the toolbar, it installed pdfforge Toolbar. Now, all 404s are redirected to urlseek20.vmn.net. You can search the web and find out the headaches people have had with urlseek20.vmn.net.”
