			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28827" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/css3-pie-logo.png" alt="CSS3 Pie logo" width="194" height="127" />One of the biggest dilemmas facing web developers is the incompatibility of various Internet Explorer versions with current web standards. Although Microsoft has promised CSS3 and even HTML5 support for IE9, Windows users, especially businesses, may continue to use IE8, IE7, or even the dreaded IE6 for years to come.</p>
<p>As a result, coding a site with exclusive CSS3 features will only alienate a large portion of your website&#8217;s visitors, and obligating them to download a standards-compliant browser, like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, will only come across as arrogant.</p>
<p>A possible solution to the problem is to use a modernizer, which is a script or application that uses a variety of tricks to make your site appear as it should in all browsers.  <a href="http://css3pie.com/" target="_blank">CSS3 Pie</a> is javascript-based modernizer that helps Internet Explorer recognize cool CSS3 features such as rounded corners, soft drop shadows, and gradient fills.  It is quick, easy, and works most of the time with very little tweaking.<br />
<span id="more-28824"></span></p>
<h3>Installation and Setup</h3>
<p>This brief tutorial assumes you already have a website with CSS3 elements.  In order to get CSS3 Pie working, you need to do two things: upload the javascript package and add special code to your CSS file.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28828" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/css-pie-app-tabs.png" alt="CSS3 Pie live demo with menu tabs" width="293" height="231" /></p>
<p>1. The <a href="http://css3pie.com/download-latest" target="_blank">download</a> from the css3pie.com website includes a number of files, but if everything goes as planned, all you need is <em>PIE.htc</em>, which is a compressed text file.  Upload it to a place on your web server where your CSS file can have access to it.</p>
<p>2. Open your CSS file in your text editor and locate the elements that contain CSS3 properties. Within those elements, add the following rule:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="css" style="font-family:monospace;">behavior<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #993333;">url</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #ff0000; font-style: italic;">PIE.htc</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span></pre></div></div>

<p>The path to your PIE.htc file needs to be exact, so if it is not in the same directory as your CSS file, change it accordingly.</p>
<p>The final element should look something like this:</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="css" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #cc00cc;">#element1</span> <span style="color: #00AA00;">&#123;</span> <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">border</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">1px</span> <span style="color: #993333;">solid</span> <span style="color: #cc00cc;">#696</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">padding</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">60px</span> <span style="color: #cc66cc;">0</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">text-align</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #993333;">center</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span> <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">width</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">200px</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
-webkit-border-radius<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">8px</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
-moz-border-radius<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">8px</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
border-radius<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #933;">8px</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
<span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">background</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #cc00cc;">#EEFF99</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span>
behavior<span style="color: #00AA00;">:</span> <span style="color: #993333;">url</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #ff0000; font-style: italic;">PIE.htc</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #00AA00;">;</span> <span style="color: #00AA00;">&#125;</span></pre></div></div>

<p>If it worked correctly, you should see the results in IE 6,7, and 8 immediately after uploading the altered CSS file.</p>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<p>If you see no changes at all, you could very likely need to adjust the path to your PIE.htc or even use the full URL.  Just remember that IE will only accept an htc file from the same domain as the site, and &#8220;www.site.com&#8221; and &#8220;site.com&#8221; are considered two different domains.</p>
<p>Under some circumstances, you may need to try <em>PIE_uncompressed.htc</em> or even <em>PIE.php</em> to get it to work correctly.  Consult the documentation for more details.</p>
<p>I have noticed that the combination of transparency and bold text results in some crazy-looking words in IE8.  You might still need to use transparent image backgrounds in those situations.</p>
<p>The combination of CSS3 Pie and some jQuery functions seems to produce an error in IE.  I have not found a solution for this, but the page still loads and displays correctly in spite of it.</p>
<h3>Modernization</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28829" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/css-pie-app-nq8.png" alt="Live demo of CSS3 Pie to test in Internet Explorer" width="577" height="342" /></p>
<p>With very little effort, CSS3 Pie can help your website look consistently appealing in all major browsers, without the headache of having to shape corner images or make fake drop shadows.  The front page of the site includes a demo so that you can adjust CSS3 properties and see the live results in Internet Explorer.  Best of all CSS3 Pie is free and open source and available for download at no cost.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28542" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-post-icon.png" alt="win7ie-post-icon" width="177" height="169" />Internet Explorer may not be the favorite browser among geeks, but sadly, it is still the most widely used browser in the World. In this article, let us take a look at the common problems in Internet Explorer (IE8 specifically) and its fixes.</p>
<p>Some of the common problems seen in IE8 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>You have more toolbars that you desire. Some of them are uninstallable.</li>
<li>The browser does not go to the website you want it to go. You type a web name, press Enter. It brings you to another site that is full of ads.</li>
<li>Your searches doesn&#8217;t look normal. You are being redirected to another search provider.</li>
<li>The home page changes without our knowledge.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are experiencing one of the above, don&#8217;t be alarmed. Here are the ways to fix them.<br />
<span id="more-28337"></span></p>
<h3>1. Remove Uninstallable Toolbars</h3>
<p>Occasionally, when you install a new program and you didn&#8217;t read the fine print, it will automatically install toolbar(s) in your IE. These toolbars are often annoying, disruptive and take up valuable screen estate. In most cases, you can uninstall them via the <em>Add/Remove Program</em> panel, but there are times when they are very persistent and refuse to disappear from your browser.</p>
<p>In this example, we are going to uninstall the Alexa toolbar (this is only for illustration purpose. in no way did I mean that Alexa toolbar is not useful). The tool we are going to use is <strong>Autoruns</strong>.</p>
<p>Autoruns is a tool designed by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, you can download the program using this link: <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902">Autoruns for Windows</a></p>
<p>This tool can configure what programs run during startup. It can also be used to find out what plugins are installed in Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>To use the utility, run the application as Administrator:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28528" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-autorun-run-administrator.png" alt="win7ie-autorun-run-administrator" width="390" height="263" /></p>
<p>Autoruns classify the objects, basically dynamic link libraries and programs, using different tabs. Just go to &#8220;<em>Internet Explorer</em>&#8221; tab:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28529" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-autoruns-internet-explorer-tab.png" alt="win7ie-autoruns-internet-explorer-tab" width="577" height="457" /></p>
<p>In the screenshot above, we can see that the tab is split into three groups. </p>
<ul>
<li>First group contains the browser helper objects. They are plugins designed to provide a new functionality.</li>
<li>Second group is a list of the toolbar in the browser</li>
<li>Third group are extensions.
<li></ul>
<p>In this case, we are going to remove the Alexa toolbar. Highlight the entry, right click and select &#8220;Delete&#8221;.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28530" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-autoruns-internet-explorer-toolbar-delete.png" alt="win7ie-autoruns-internet-explorer-toolbar-delete" width="577" height="457" /></p>
<p>Done. You have just removed an uninstallable toolbar.</p>
<h3>2. Remove Search Providers</h3>
<p>If you see an unwanted search provider (as shown in the image below),</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28531" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-alexa-web-search.png" alt="win7ie-alexa-web-search" width="558" height="170" /></p>
<p>Click on the button and select &#8220;<em>Manage Search Providers</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28532" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-manage-search-providers.png" alt="win7ie-manage-search-providers" width="301" height="211" /></p>
<p>Internet Explorer doesn&#8217;t allow you to remove the default provider, so before you can remove it, you have to set another search provider as the default.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28533" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-manage-add-ons.png" alt="win7ie-manage-add-ons" width="577" height="458" /></p>
<p>Now you can remove &#8220;<em>Alexa Web Search</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28534" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-delete-web-search.png" alt="win7ie-delete-web-search" width="577" height="458" /></p>
<h3>3. Reset Internet Explorer Settings</h3>
<p>If all the tricks don&#8217;t work, the ultimatum is to reset your Internet Explorer to its default settings. </p>
<p>Using the search function in Windows 7, search for &#8220;<em>internet options</em>&#8220;. Alternatively, you can also access the Internet Options from the browser File menu.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28539" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-search-internet-options.png" alt="win7ie-search-internet-options" width="408" height="277" /></p>
<p>Now go to the &#8220;<em>Advanced Tab</em>&#8221; and select &#8220;<em>Reset</em>&#8220;:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28540" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-select-reset.png" alt="win7ie-select-reset" width="423" height="541" /></p>
<p>You need to quit all browser windows before using this function. You will see a popup window explaining the stuff that are going to be reseted:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28541" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/01/win7ie-reset-internet-explorer-settings.png" alt="win7ie-reset-internet-explorer-settings" width="453" height="327" /></p>
<p>This should restore your IE back to its original state.</p>
<p>Do you use any other ways to solve Internet Explorer 8 issues?<br />

However, some (if not, most) of you donot like this default download location and are looking for the ways to change it. For me, I prefer to place all my downloads on the Desktop. This is how you change the default downloads location in IE9.<br />
<span id="more-23255"></span><br />
In your IE 9, click on the Settings icon (the gearwheel) and go to &#8220;<em>View Downloads</em>&#8220;. Alternatively, you can press the shortcut key &#8220;Ctrl + J&#8221;.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/10/ie9-view-downloads.png" alt="ie9-view-downloads" title="ie9-view-downloads" width="250" height="275" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23260" /></p>
<p>In the Downloads window, click on the &#8220;Options&#8221; link.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/10/ie9-download-option.png" alt="ie9-download-option" title="ie9-download-option" width="577" height="226" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23261" /></p>
<p>Click the &#8220;Browse&#8221; button to select the folder that you want your future downloads to store in.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/10/ie9-browse-location.png" alt="ie9-browse-location" title="ie9-browse-location" width="421" height="215" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23262" /></p>
<p>Optionally, you can also place a check to let it notify when the download is completed. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-pined-site.jpg" alt="ie9-pined-site" title="ie9-pined-site" width="200" height="59" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-21560" />Internet Explorer 9 beta was released a few days ago and one of the feature includes the pinning of any site to the taskbar. With a simple dragging and dropping of the tab to the taskbar, any site can be pinned to the taskbar and the users can quickly click on the icon to launch the site. In addition, IE 9 also allows webmaster to add jumplist items to the taskbar icon. This tutorial shows you how you can add jumplist items to your site.<br />
<span id="more-21473"></span></p>
<h3>The implementation</h3>
<p>In this example, we are going to add the links of the various categories (of Make Tech Easier) to the jumplist. You can, of course, change/modify the links to the URL that you want to place.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-pinsite-jumplist.png" alt="ie9-pinsite-jumplist" title="ie9-pinsite-jumplist" width="429" height="351" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21558" /></p>
<p>1. Open your theme file and place the following meta tag in between the <em>&lt;head&gt;</em> and <em>&lt;/head&gt;</em> tag. If you are using WordPress, the <em>&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;</em> tag is located at the header.php file in your theme folder.</p>
<p><pre lang="html">&lt;META name=&quot;msapplication-task&quot; content=&quot;name=Windows;action-uri=http://maketecheasier.com/category/windows-tips;icon-uri=http://maketecheasier.com/favicon.ico&quot;/&gt;</pre></p>
<p>Things that you need to change:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>“name=xyz”</strong>: This is the name of the item that will appear on the jumplist, so make sure you give it a clear name</li>
<li><strong>“action-url=http://xyz.com&#8221;</strong>: This is the page that will load when the user clicks on the link.</li>
<li><strong>“icon-url:http://xyz.com/favicon.ico”</strong>: This is the favicon (must be a favicon in ico format) that will appear beside the name</li>
</ul>
<p>Each meta tag is for one link. So if you have 5 links, you will have to add the meta tag 5 times (and modify the content accordingly). Note that IE 9 only allows you to add up to 5 links.</p>
<p>That’s it. Once you are done adding the tag, simply upload/replace the html file (or header.php in the case of WordPress) to your server. Now open IE9, load your site, drag the tab to the taskbar. Your links should now appear in the jumplist.</p>
<h3>More customization</h3>
<p>IE 9 also allows you to add tooltips, change the navigation button color, startup url, window size etc. Here are the tags that you need to insert</p>
<p><pre lang="html">&lt;meta name=&quot;application-name&quot; content=&quot;Sample Site Mode Application&quot;/&gt;<br />
&lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-tooltip&quot; content=&quot;Start the page in Site Mode&quot;/&gt;<br />
&lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-starturl&quot; content=&quot;http://example.com/start.html&quot;/&gt;<br />
&lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-window&quot; content=&quot;width=800;height=600&quot;/&gt;<br />
&lt;meta name=&quot;msapplication-navbutton-color&quot; content=&quot;red&quot;/&gt;</pre></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/uninstall-ie9-logo.jpg" alt="uninstall-ie9-logo" title="uninstall-ie9-logo" width="136" height="127" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-21581" />For those who have installed Internet Explorer 9 beta last week, you will find your previous installation of Internet Explorer been replaced by this latest version. In addition, when you try to uninstall the application (via Control panel), you will find that you won&#8217;t be able to do so, simply because the IE 9 entry is not in the uninstallation list.</p>
<p>Since IE9 is installed as an update, not as an application, to uninstall IE9, we need to uninstall the <em>update</em> instead of the <em>program</em>. Here&#8217;s how you can do so:<br />
<span id="more-21567"></span><br />
1. Open your Control Panel and click on the <em>Uninstall a program</em> link.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/uninstall-ie9-control-panel.png" alt="uninstall-ie9-control-panel" title="uninstall-ie9-control-panel" width="577" height="425" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21573" /></p>
<p>2. On the left pane, click the <em>View Installed Updates</em>.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/uninstall-ie9-installed-update.png" alt="uninstall-ie9-installed-update" title="uninstall-ie9-installed-update" width="577" height="477" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21576" /></p>
<p>3. Scroll down the list until you find the entry &#8220;<em>Windows Internet Explorer 9</em>&#8220;. Highlight it and click the <em>Uninstall</em> button.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/uninstall-ie9.png" alt="uninstall-ie9" title="uninstall-ie9" width="491" height="321" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21577" /></p>
<p>4. You will see the Uninstallation prompt. Once it is done, you will be asked to restart the computer.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/uninstall-ie9-prompt.png" alt="uninstall-ie9-prompt" title="uninstall-ie9-prompt" width="364" height="189" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21578" /></p>
<p>5. After the restart, your Internet Explorer should restore back to IE 8.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-small.jpg" alt="ie9-small" title="ie9-small" width="200" height="217" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-21365" />I might as well admit right up front &#8211; personally I&#8217;ve considered Internet Explorer to be somewhat of a joke for the past few years. A slow, incomplete, non-standards-compliant joke. Perhaps I&#8217;m being a bit harsh, perhaps not.  Opinions aside, it&#8217;s hard to argue against the fact that it&#8217;s been playing technological catchup for the better part of the last decade as Mozilla, Opera, Apple, and now Google have all released browsers that surpass IE in most ways.  When Microsoft announced IE9, I didn&#8217;t pay much attention. That is, until I saw the specs. Hardware accelerated graphics? Vector support? New UI? Could this really be an Internet Explorer worth using? Yesterday, Microsoft released the first beta package of IE9, and if you haven&#8217;t been following the development, you may be in for a surprise or two.<br />
<span id="more-21361"></span></p>
<h3>Getting the Beta</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re reading this, then there&#8217;s a good chance you may want to try out IE9 for yourself. The beta package can be downloaded <a href="http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/#/download" target="_blank">here</a>, but you XP users don&#8217;t bother &#8211; IE9 is only for Vista and up. Not too surprisingly, you can expect to reboot once the install is complete.  </p>
<h3>New User Interface</h3>
<p>When you load up IE the first time, you can&#8217;t miss the slimmed down interface. It&#8217;s been completely redesigned and aimed squarely at the novice.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-startup.jpg" alt="ie9-startup" title="ie9-startup" width="577" height="369" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21389" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s no longer a toolbar for <em>File</em>, <em>Edit</em>, etc, and no toolbar for bookmarks, pretty much no toolbars at all. Fortunately for the non-novice, they can be restored by right clicking the blank space around the address bar and tabs.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-toolbars.jpg" alt="" title="ie9-toolbars" width="577" height="284" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21390" /></p>
<p>Speaking of tabs, I&#8217;m not on board with the new tab placement. As you can see, browser tabs are now positioned just to the right of the address bar. This seems to be a step in the wrong direction to me. As users are growing more accustomed to using tabs, many browser makers are developing solutions to better manage MORE tabs (see Firefox 4&#8242;s new <a href="http://maketecheasier.com/firefox-4-review-app-tab-panorama-and-sync/2010/08/30">App Tab and Panorama features</a>). By placing the tabs into a cramped space, you make it even harder to use one of the best features of any browser.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-tabs.jpg" alt="ie9-tabs" title="ie9-tabs" width="577" height="65" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21391" /></p>
<h3>Hardware Acceleration</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;ll probably find this to be the most compelling feature of IE9. If the browser&#8217;s graphics can be rendered on the GPU instead of the CPU, you break the door wide open for rich visual effects on the web. 3D interfaces and games are now far more practical, and with the combination of hardware acceleration and HTML5, many of us can begin to rid ourselves of Flash (finally).  </p>
<p>To show what kind of performance difference this can make, I ran two benchmarks. One was in IE9 with its fancy new GPU rendering, and the other was in the browser that many people associate with speed &#8211; Google Chrome. I used <em>WebVizBench</em>, a site designed to heavily tax your browser&#8217;s graphical rendering capabilities. On my fairly mediocre graphics hardware, IE9 scored fairly well but even with hardware rendering it was unable to average above 15 frames per second.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-webvizIE.jpg" alt="ie9-webvizIE" title="ie9-webvizIE" width="577" height="269" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21393" /></p>
<p>Compare that to the non-accelerated Chrome, which had a hard time breaking 2 fps.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-webvizChrome.jpg" alt="ie9-webvizChrome" title="ie9-webvizChrome" width="577" height="267" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21394" /></p>
<p>It should be noted that Google will soon be releasing Chrome 7, which will also include hardware rendering.  Neither IE9 nor Chrome 7 are yet final, so you cannot yet make a full comparison, but it will be interesting to see who emerges as speed king once the major browser makers are all rendering on the GPU.  </p>
<h3>Site Pinning</h3>
<p>If you are using Windows 7, you can make use of the new site pinning feature in IE9 to pin your favorite site to the taskbar. This will allow you to treat any sites as an app and launch it quickly from the taskbar. To pin a site, you just have to drag the tab to the taskbar. With a little <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/ff468705.aspx#_Pinned_Sites" target="_blank">coding</a>, webmasters can also make their sites compatible with the jumplist.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-site-pinning.jpg" alt="ie9-site-pinning" title="ie9-site-pinning" width="435" height="239" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21403" /></p>
<h3>Built-in Download Manager</h3>
<p>Finally. Yes, finally, IE9 comes with a download manager. What&#8217;s more, it comes with a malware/virus scanner that scans the link before the actual download begin. </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-download-manager.png" alt="ie9-download-manager" title="ie9-download-manager" width="577" height="438" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21404" /></p>
<h3>Supports HTML5</h3>
<p>This shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise. Most major browsers have already come with support for HTML5, CSS 3 and probably WebM video format. It will be a surprise if IE9 does not come with such support. </p>
<h3>Acid 3 Test</h3>
<p>In term of the Acid 3 test, IE9 is still lacking behind its fellow competitors. It scores a 95/100 for the acid 3 test.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-acid3.png" alt="ie9-acid3" title="ie9-acid3" width="577" height="377" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21405" /></p>
<p>Google Chrome 7 scores a 100/100 perfect score while Firefox 4 scores 97/100.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-browsers-acid3.png" alt="ie9-browsers-acid3" title="ie9-browsers-acid3" width="570" height="219" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21406" /></p>
<h3>Others</h3>
<p><strong>Popular Sites</strong></p>
<p>Another new feature is the inclusion of a <em>Popular Sites</em> screen that shows up in blank tabs.  Chrome users may find the following screen shot eerily familiar.  </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-popular.jpg" alt="" title="ie9-popular" width="577" height="324" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21395" /></p>
<p><strong>URL bar double as search bar</strong></p>
<p>Yet another eerily familiar feature. Since there are no search bar in the minimal interface, the only way to search is via the URL bar. </p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/09/ie9-url-search-bar.png" alt="ie9-url-search-bar" title="ie9-url-search-bar" width="580" height="264" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21407" /></p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>I used Internet Explorer 9 to write the bulk of this article. It&#8217;s by far the longest I&#8217;ve used IE in years, and the first time in those years I haven&#8217;t been blind with rage over the missing features. Personally I&#8217;ll stick with Chrome for now, but I find myself compelled to say that Microsoft&#8217;s competitors might actually have a few things to learn from IE9. Except, of course, how to handle tabs.  </p>
<p>Does IE9 worth you switching over? Well, if you are using Windows (Windows 7 specifically), the nice and useful integration with the OS might just win you over.<br />

The urgency from some individuals and organizations (particularly Apple), reflects the bad taste that Adobe Flash Player has left in many mouths. HTML5 video is an effort to make streaming video on the web more accessible, better integrated, and with increased performance.</p>
<p>Although it is not yet an official standard, HTML5 video is available on many websites, including YouTube, and most major browsers have preliminary support for it. Unfortunately, the browser makers have not agreed upon a standard codec, so you will need to know what will work in which browsers. This brief guide should help you navigate through the jargon and get a glimpse of what might be the future of video on the Web.<br />
<span id="more-16374"></span></p>
<h3>The Formats</h3>
<p>There are currently three distinct video formats that are used in HTML5 video streaming:</p>
<p>1. <strong><a href="http://www.theora.org/" target="_blank">Theora</a></strong> &#8211; the free and open video codec that was originally intended to be the only HTML5 specification.</p>
<p>2. <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC" target="_blank">H.264</a></strong> &#8211; a patented video codec that Apple, Google, and others believed to be superior in quality to Theora.</p>
<p>3. <strong><a href="http://www.webmproject.org/" target="_blank">WebM</a></strong> &#8211; a new free and open format that uses the VP8 video codec, which Google recently purchased and then released into the open source community. It now has the support of Google, Mozilla, Opera, and <a href="http://www.webmproject.org/about/supporters/" target="_blank">many others</a>.</p>
<h3>The Browsers</h3>
<p><strong>Mozilla Firefox</strong> &#8211; Current versions of Firefox (3.6.3) will display Theora videos only. Mozilla has no plans to support H.264 because of the legal implications of its software patents. For those who want to try the new Google WebM format, you can download a WebM <a href="http://nightly.mozilla.org/webm/" target="_blank">nightly build</a> of Firefox. Firefox also has support for fullscreen HTML5 video.</p>
<p><strong>Microsoft Internet Explorer</strong> &#8211; The current version of IE (8) does not support any HTML5 video out of the box. Users who wish to try it must download <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/" target="_blank">Google Chrome Frame</a> (available for IE versions 6,7, and 8). This plugin adds HTML5 technology to IE. Version 9 of IE is expected to support H.264 video by default and will also support WebM, but the user will have to download the codec.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16379" title="youtube-ie-chromeframe" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/html5-youtube-ie-nq8.jpg" alt="YouTube video in Internet Explorer with Chrome Frame" width="577" height="403" /></p>
<p><strong>Apple Safari</strong> &#8211; The current version of Safari (4.05) supports H.264 video out of the box, but does not support Theora or WebM, and there are apparently no plans to support either.</p>
<p><strong>Google Chrome</strong> &#8211; Current Chrome versions (5.0.375.55) support Ogg Theora and H.264 video, and development versions also support WebM, making it the only browser to support all three. Users can try the development versions through Google&#8217;s <a href="http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel" target="_blank">Early Release Channels</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16377" title="vimeo-chromium" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/html5-vimeo-chromium-nq8.jpg" alt="Vimeo player in Chromium" width="577" height="368" /></p>
<p><strong>Opera</strong> &#8211; The current Windows and Mac version of Opera (10.53) has support for Ogg Theora video. Linux users must download the beta version of 10.53 to get support. 10.54 will support WebM video. Users can download the <a href="http://labs.opera.com/news/2010/05/19/" target="_blank">development versions</a> to try it.</p>
<p><strong>Other Browsers</strong> &#8211; Unfortunately, many websites are using browser detection to determine if they should send HTML5 video to the user. The result is that browsers like Konqueror, which reportedly have HTML5 video support, do not work without user agent switching. The Apple iPad also has HTML5 video support, and many major websites (NY Times, CNN, etc.) are specifically targeting the iPad and, therefore, still display Flash videos even to browsers that support HTML5.</p>
<h3>The Websites</h3>
<p>There are several good websites where users can try out the various incarnations of HTML5 video. Feel free to add others in the comments section.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://jilion.com/sublime/video" target="_blank">SublimeVideo</a></strong> &#8211; This one is probably my personal favorite. 720p video, supporting Safari, Chrome, Firefox, IE, iPad, and iPhone.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16378" title="sublime-firefox" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/html5-sublime-firefox-nq8.jpg" alt="Sublime video in Firefox" width="577" height="244" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/html5" target="_blank">YouTube</a></strong> &#8211; Currently it offers both H.264 and WebM. Users must join the beta to view it. Videos with ads are not included.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo</a></strong> &#8211; Vimeo will show any of its videos in H.264 format.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5lib/kplayer-examples/Player_Fallback.html" target="_blank">Kaltura</a></strong> &#8211;  A demo of the movie Big Buck Bunny in the Kaltura player.</p>
<p>Although it is still unclear how HTML5 video will ultimately turn out, it is an exciting time to watch the development of this new technology. The ultimate goal of HTML5 is to make the overall Web experience better, and HTML5 video is one step in the right direction.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/win7-remove-ie.jpg" alt="win7-remove-ie" title="win7-remove-ie" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15430" />Most, if not all, browsers provide you with the option to set it as the default web application in your system. The problem is, even though you have set Firefox or Google Chrome as your default, Windows 7 will still open some of the links in Internet Explorer. </p>
<p>To completely remove IE as the &#8220;<em>internal default</em>&#8221; browser in Windows 7, here&#8217;s how you can do it:<br />
<span id="more-15423"></span><br />
1. Go to <em>Start -&gt; Default Programs</em></p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/win7-start-default.jpg" alt="win7-start-default" title="win7-start-default" width="410" height="476" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15424" /></p>
<p>2. Click on <em>Set Program access and computer default</em></p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/win7-select-default-programs.png" alt="win7-select-default-programs" title="win7-select-default-programs" width="529" height="270" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15425" /></p>
<p>3. Click on <em>Custom</em></p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/win7-default-custom.png" alt="win7-default-custom" title="win7-default-custom" width="393" height="387" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15426" /></p>
<p>4. Uncheck the field <em>Enable access to this program</em> beside the Internet Explorer field. Click Ok.</p>
<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2010/05/win7-ie-disable-access.png" alt="win7-ie-disable-access" title="win7-ie-disable-access" width="577" height="360" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15427" /></p>
<p>This will prevent the system from accessing the application and force Windows to use the intended default as the default browser. </p>
<p>5. Go to your favorite browser Options page and set the browser as the default again. </p>
<p>When you open your link or .html files in your Word document or Windows Explorer, it will now launch in your intended default browser.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-logo.jpg" alt="IE8-logo" width="128" height="128" /> If statistics are anything to go by, Internet Explorer is the biggest and the most popular browser on the Internet. Of course, all of us geeks here know that statistics are not always correct … or fun.</p>
<p>But, well, the truth is that IE owns anywhere between 60-70 percent of the browser market and despite it&#8217;s flaws, it&#8217;s still going strong. While most of the geeks have long moved to Firefox, there are millions of Windows users who still swear by IE, not because they like it but because of the simple fact that it is bundled along with their OS &#8211; Windows.</p>
<p><span id="more-6784"></span>When Microsoft released the latest Incarnation of Internet Explorer, version 8, a couple of months back, it started pushing it as the answer to everyone&#8217;s miseries. Advertisements promoting IE 8 and urging users to upgrade were (and still are) on the Internet, in magazines and on TV. MS also did all it could to force users into installing the latest version of Internet Explorer on their computers by pushing it through windows update as a recommended update.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6775" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-screenshot2.png" alt="Internet Explorer" width="311" height="129" /></p>
<p>I agree that IE8 has some pretty nice features and is miles ahead of IE 7 or 6, but for people like me, who have almost completely moved over to firefox, IE just takes up precious space on the computer and is of absolutely no practical use.</p>
<p>And it looks like Microsoft has been thinking the same way as I do.</p>
<p>Windows 7, like all previous versions of Windows is also going to ship with Internet Explorer but Microsoft, faced with a number of legal threats for bundling IE along with Windows, has finally provided an option in Windows 7 to uninstall IE. The only problem is that the option to do so is hidden quite deep and with this post today, I&#8217;ll teach you how to get to it and remove Internet Explorer once and for all from your Windows  7 running PC.</p>
<p>First, of all, <strong>open the Control Panel</strong> and from there go to the <em>Add-Remove</em> programs utility. In Windows 7, this utility is present under the <strong>Programs</strong> heading and named simply, <strong>Uninstall a Program.</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-screenshot3.jpg" alt="Add-Remove Programs" width="234" height="143" /></p>
<p>On the right hand side of the pane, you’ll see a list of all the programs that you’ve ever installed on your computer but Internet Explorer 8 will not be present in this list. To get to that, look at the left hand pane and you will see a link which says “<strong>Turn windows features on or off”</strong>. Clicking on this link will open a window with a list of all the windows features that you can turn off (or on).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-screenshot4.jpg" alt="Turn windows features on or off" width="231" height="143" /></p>
<p>Internet Explorer is listed in this window as a feature of Windows and it is turned on by default (denoted by the tick mark against it’s name).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-screenshot5.png" alt="Remove Internet Explorer" width="262" height="168" /></p>
<p>To remove Internet Explorer all you have to do is uncheck the Internet Explorer 8 option.</p>
<p>To be fair, this feature only turns Internet Explorer off, which means that it’s still there, but you won’t see it in the programs menu and you won’t be able to run it using the windows Run command also. All links supposed to open in Internet Explorer will fail with a message saying that the application required was not found.</p>
<p>Missing IE ? Turning it back on is simple too, just follow the same procedure and check the tickbox saying Internet Explorer 8.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-logo.jpg" alt="Internet Explorer" width="113" height="102" /> I like to call myself a reluctant Windows user, at best. Microsoft Windows is something I use only when I have to and even then I make sure I don’t touch Internet Explorer even with a 10 ft pole.</p>
<p>Needless to say, whenever I login to my Windows desktop, every couple of weeks, I usually have a slew of updates waiting for me to install them, which I always dutifully install. That’s what updates are for, right ?</p>
<p>Well, this is where the sad part of the story begins. I haven’t really had a problem with any MS updates till now but when Microsoft, in a recent update, pushed Internet Explorer 8 on my computer, all hell broke loose. A lot of web based applications I rely on daily started acting weird. Active-X Add-ons that I need for my work stopped working. IE 8 crashed a lot more and was much more buggy than IE 7 and that is saying something, considering that I hardly used IE 7 also .</p>
<p>Which is why I decided to get rid of IE 8 once and for all and write this post so that it may benefit others who are in a similar situation. I use Windows Vista so some of the instructions might be Vista specific.</p>
<p><span id="more-6273"></span>The first step to getting rid of IE 8 is to open the control panel and click on the <em>Program and Features</em> applications.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-001.jpg" alt="Control Panel" width="282" height="216" /></p>
<p>This application will show you a list of all the programs installed on your machine and allow you to uninstall them. Except for one small problem !</p>
<p>As you can see, Internet Explorer 8 does not show up in the list of programs installed on your machine. Since, IE was installed by Microsoft as part of a system update, The <strong>Programs and Features</strong> application doesn&#8217;t consider it a normal user application.</p>
<p>IE 8 shows up as an update installed on your computer. To get to that list, click on the “View Installed Updates” link in the left sidebar.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-002.png" alt="View installed updates" width="310" height="198" /></p>
<p>You will now see a list of all the updates that you’ve ever installed on your computer. If, like me, you’ve had your windows install for a long time, this will be one long list. Browse through the list and find the update which says Internet Explorer 8.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/08/ie8-003.jpg" alt="Internet Explorer" width="327" height="200" /></p>
<p>Select it, and click on “<strong>uninstall</strong>”. Follow the instructions, if any, and let the uninstaller take charge. Once the uninstall is complete, restart your computer and carry on with your IE 8 free life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1793" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_promo.png" alt="BackRex Internet Explorer Backup" width="256" height="205" />The browser today means a lot more than it did ten years ago, heck it means a lot more than it did even two years ago.  In today&#8217;s world the browser represents not only a way to view the musings of the Internet, but it&#8217;s also the thin face to many server-based applications.  The browser is becoming more and more of a dependency every day.</p>
<p>I guess that&#8217;s why this little application called <a href="http://www.backsettings.com/internet-explorer-backup.html" target="_blank">BackRex Internet Explorer Backup </a>intrigued me so much.  Over the years I have been through many OS rebuilds and changes, each time having to make adjustments to my browser settings to get them just the way I like them.  That includes the manual backup and restore of cookies, favorites, connections settings, and add-ons.  BackRex&#8217;s Internet Explorer Backup simplifies that task by automating the process from start to finish.   Here&#8217;s a little walkthrough of it&#8217;s basic features.</p>
<p><span id="more-1791"></span><br />
<h3>Backing Up Your Settings</h3>
<p>To start with, IE Backup is a very easy installation.  Simply download the installer from the <a href="http://www.backsettings.com/internet-explorer-backup.html">BackRex site</a>, and install using the default options.  At the end of the installation, &#8220;<em>Run BackRex Internet Explorer Backup</em>&#8221; will be checked.  Click <em>Finish</em> to launch the program.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be presented with a new wizard to help you complete your task.  This tool gives you the option to backup, restore, rollback, or create a scheduled backup for your Internet Explorer settings.  The first screen warns you to close any other programs.  I would strongly encourage you to heed that warning.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1795" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard.png" alt="IE Backup Wizard" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>After clicking <em>Next</em>, you&#8217;ll be given the option to select your task.  We&#8217;ll look at each of them as we go along.  Start by selecting <em>Backup</em> and clicking <em>Next</em>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1796" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_backup.png" alt="IE Backup Wizard Task Selection" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>You might note that IE Backup numbers the steps as you walk through the process &#8211; this can be quite helpful.  In step 2, IE Backup will notify you of any software it has detected that should be closed before continuing.  I can&#8217;t stress enough &#8211; shut the programs down.  You&#8217;ll ensure a quality backup and no loss of data.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1800" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_ie_open.png" alt="IE Backup Open Applications" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>Step 3 gives you the ability to change some of the options.  I chose the default folder to use, but you can set it to whatever works best for you.  I also checked the checkbox next to &#8220;<em>Remember this backup </em>folder&#8221;.  That way I don&#8217;t have to keep setting it each time I run the application.  You can also set a password here, I chose to leave it blank.  If security is important to you &#8211; password protect the backup.  It will help keep your personal information just a little bit more safe.</p>
<p>Click <em>Next</em>.  Step 4 is pretty basic.  It shows you what the application is going to backup for you.  It&#8217;s just a list though, so feel free to click <em>Next </em>to get the process moving.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1803 alignnone" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_settings_modified.png" alt="IE Backup Settings" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1804" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_list.png" alt="IE Backup List" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>Step 5 is where the magic happens.  This screen shows you each item that the application is backing up, allowing you to monitor the progress.  It will look something like this:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1805" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_backingup.png" alt="IE Backup In Progress" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1806" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_backingup2.png" alt="IE Backup In Progress 2" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s that easy!  When this step is finished, you&#8217;ll be presented with the following summary window.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1807" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_completed.png" alt="IE Backup Complete" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>Now all you have left to do is click <em>Finish</em> and enjoy your piece of mind.  I would suggest storing your backup, or a copy of it, on disk or offsite.  That will protect you in the event that you have a drive failure.</p>
<h3>Scheduled Backup</h3>
<p>Backing up your settings is a great idea, but it&#8217;s not a one time deal.  IE Backup from BackRex gives you the opportunity to schedule your backups at regular intervals, so that you can simply set it and forget it.  Be warned though, if you are running it on a system that is domain connected, you will be required to provide a domain username and password. If your security policies require you to change your password every xx days, I would encourage you to set yourself a reminder to complete the task manually.  Scheduling with an account that requires password changes may lock out your account when you change it, but fail to update the task.</p>
<p>Setting up the scheduled backup is just as easy as doing the backup itself.  A wizard walks you through the process and makes it very simple to complete.  Starting from the main IE Backup screen, simply select <em>Scheduled Backup</em> and click <em>Next. </em>Step 2 allows you to configure various settings such as storage location, compression, and password protection.  For this walkthrough, I used mainly the default settings.</p>
<p>It is important to note that the option to <em>Close running applications automatically</em> should be considered with care.  Enabling this setting allows IE Backup to close any open programs that it needs to, in order to ensure quality.  That could mean some time or data loss if you&#8217;re like me and leave multiple browser tabs and windows open for research purposes.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1815" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_scheduled_backup.png" alt="IE Backup Scheduled Backup" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1802" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_sb_settings_warning.png" alt="backrex_wizard_sb_settings_warning" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>Step 3 is once again a nice listing of all the items that the application plans to backup for you.  Step 4, the final step, is where you set your schedule.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1818" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_sb_list.png" alt="IE Backup Schedule Backup List" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1819" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_sb_schedule.png" alt="IE Backup Schedule" width="514" height="400" /></p>
<p>Pick something them makes sense to you.  In my case, I chose a daily backup because I am a habitual user who adds favorites and changes settings on a daily basis.  The average user might find weekly or monthly to be sufficient.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1820" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_sb_menu.png" alt="backrex_wizard_sb_menu" width="113" height="61" /></p>
<p>After clicking <em>Next</em> on the final step of the scheduled backup, you may be prompted for a user account and password like the one shown below.  You may want to refer to my warnings a few paragraphs up, in regards to using domain accounts.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1822" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2008/12/backrex_wizard_sb_password.png" alt="backrex_wizard_sb_password" width="259" height="187" /></p>
<h3>Restore Settings from Backup</h3>
<p>The restore process is just as easy as the backup process, in fact it might even be easier.  Starting from the same startup screen, select <em>Restore</em> and click <em>Next</em>.  Step 2 is where you provide the location of your previously saved backup to be recovered from.  The program then skips to Step 4 and provides the familiar listing of the items it plans to recover.  Clicking <em>Next</em> at this point will begin the recovery process.  That&#8217;s all there is to it.</p>
<p>I hope you find this tool as handy as I have!</p>
