Go and get it, among all the improvements, here’s a few very useful ones, more info click here.

• Built-in phishing protection: Phishing Protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled.
• Inline spell checking: A new built-in spell checker enables users to quickly check the spelling of text entered into Web forms (like this one) without having to use a separate application.
• Client-side session and persistent storage: New support for storing structured data on the client side, to enable better handling of online transactions and improved performance when dealing with large amounts of data, such as documents and mailboxes. This is based on the WHATWG specification for client-side session and persistent storage.
• Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: Users can decide how to handle Web feeds (like this one), either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks. My Yahoo!, Bloglines and Google Reader come pre-loaded as Web service options, but users can add any Web service that handles RSS feeds.

Alright, its been a while that I wanna see a unknown show so bad that it makes me so hungry. In Cooking In Danger Zone, host Stefan Gates visits Afganistan and eat “Afgan Viagra” with a former Taliban commander, goes to North Uganda and eat with refugees and experiences how they live on rations provided by UN World Food Programme.

Not only he observes like most Westerners TV hosts did, he actually eat their daily stables, that include raw freshly killed warm baby seal meat offered by Inuit people, and through that leads to stories on how global warming affects their hunting behaviour and how they are being marginalized like American Indians in US history. I like the show beacuse it exposes lots of social economical problems through our basic necessities- food.

As a Chinese who is proud to eat “anything with its back facing the sky”, and as a person who like to try Food that Westerners labeled “weird”, Food, for me, is the international language. Food can creates conflicts and it can resolves conflicts too. Here I just hope the show will withstand my expectation.

Here’s the BBC link, and here’s the host Stefan Gates’ blog.

One of my favourite artists and my very good friend Marc Horowitz just did a short film for Nissan Sentra. I saw it tonight while I am eating dinner at home and I almost spray my semi-chewed rice in a projectile way.

I can’t believe it! We are so happy for you, Congradulation Burt Dulet!!! Here’s the official campaign page, and Here’s the Marc’s Official Blog where you can see how Marc lives in the car for seven days straight.

One of the best products in NextFest organized by WIRED magazine is LifeStraw, a personal water-purification device that disinfects water by using filters down to six microns, to remove bacteria and parasites from any water sources.

Each LifeStraw filters up to 700 litres of water (for a normal 60 kg adult who consumes 2 litres of water per day it last for 350 days) with a price tag of only $3 USD.

The device is developed by the Danish company Vestergaard Frandsen that introduces PermaNet and Zerofly- a Malaria Disease Control Textile, to the world. I especially like their specific terms of combining Imagine+Engineering- “Imagineering”, I am so sick of all the bullshit designer products float in the market doing absolutly nothing besides “looking good and match your 2 million dollars loft.” Hey I-D dudes make something useful and benefit people around the world, not only for filthy rich fucking assholes!

The fifth annual Select Media Festival features video programs, brand new media, anti-comedy, installations, performance programs, and public projects in conjunction with experimental and advanced music. Our goal is to share innovative projects in art and technology as well as socially charged work. The festival is produced by Public Media Institute, and organized by artists, musicians and activists from Chicago.
Select Media Festival 5 opens October 13th and runs through October 23rd in venues across the city. This year we are forming a DIY Media Academy to hone skills on a number of things we think everyone should be doing - that includes making cable access TV shows, starting alt.spaces, creating Videos and music, making personal media archives, learning a few secret histories, and figuring out how to become a little bit more environmentally conscious on a budget.
