December 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment

WordPress 2.7 almost come to live. With release of Release Candidate 1, this new version is now in final development stage before official release. For those who try the 2.7 Beta version, they should already know about new UI admin panel, especially vertical navigation vs horizontal navigation in current 2.6.x version.

WordPress 2.7 Admin Panel

In This RC1, admin panel even come with new menu icons created by winners of recently WordPress icon design contest. And of course there are bugs fixed for all known bugs from last Beta 3 version.

As this is not official release version, I advise you to use it only for testing or for your wordpress themes/plugins developtment purpose. For the production use, you should use the stable version, currently version 2.6.5. If you have already installed beta 3, you can update to RC1 via the Tools -> Update menu.  Previous Beta version does have a bug in the automatic upgrade that breaks certain setups, so be prepared to download and install RC1 manually if you experience problems.

Want to try? Go download WordPress 2.7 RC1.

Researchers from Strategy Analytics are predicting that 0.4 million Android phones will sell in the fourth quarter this year, making up 4 percent of the smartphone market share in the U.S. In comparison, Apple sold 1.12 million iPhones in the first quarter the phone was on the market, although the iPhone was for sale for a full three months and the Android phone will only likely sell for two months before the end of the year.

WordPress 2.6.2 Released

September 9, 2008 By Leave a Comment

WordPress 2.6.2 was released today and contains few bug fixes. Ryan from WordPress Blog explained,

“If you allow open registration on your blog, you should definitely upgrade.  With open registration enabled, it is possible in WordPress versions 2.6.1 and earlier to craft a username such that it will allow resetting another user’s password to a randomly generated password.  The randomly generated password is not disclosed to the attacker, so this problem by itself is annoying but not a security exploit.  However, this attack coupled with a weakness in the random number seeding in mt_rand() could be used to predict the randomly generated password.  Stefan Esser will release details of the complete attack shortly.  The attack is difficult to accomplish,  but its mere possibility means we recommend upgrading to 2.6.2.”

Even though I’m not enable open registration on my blog, I already upgraded to this latest release to keep my wordpress blog up-to-date cause there are also contains a handful of bug fixes. To see the detail, check out at http://wordpress.org/development/.

Google Chrome Browser : Simple and Fast

September 8, 2008 By Leave a Comment

While we already have a perfectly good Web browser like Firefox, Opera, IE, or Safari, do we still need another Web browser? Yes, if we want something simpler, a little faster, and less prone to crashing… that’s what Google Inc.’s new Chrome want to offer.

As we know, Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and Apple Inc.’s Safari 3 browsers have their loyal users but aren’t as widely used as IE. So, last week released Chrome from Google, the search engine giant might be a Web browser that competes directly with market leader IE7, from Microsoft Corp.

I tested Chrome for a few days and yes I can feel it does offer a few innovations and hits the mark on speed, stability and simplicity. So far I thought Firefox is the fastest browser, but Chrome beat it during browsing the net with multiple pages open simultaneously.

Chrome certainly has the plainest user interface of any browser I’ve used, including IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Don’t try to find out where they put menu bar, status bar, or even an option to organize bookmarks cause its really not exist in this beta version. That features might be to be added later when official release. [Read more...]
