IE7 & FF Images....

IE7 & FF Comparison

Here you go everyone ;) :

Both Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and Firefox (FF) are Internet browsers used by many. This comparison is just my opinion on which is ‘better’. Both are available to download for FREE (links provided below) and both are actually quite good. This comparison just focuses on the main things, so I haven gone into too much detail. Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading it:


Installation:


Installation for IE7 was horrible. 1st you have to have Genuine Windows (though there are ways to bypass it), 2nd it takes an awful amount of time and 3rd you have to reboot! However when it comes to FF, the installation is seamless. Quick download, install and done. No reboot, no Genuine Windows, NO waiting.


User Interface:



User Interface (UI) for both is actually pretty good. Both look mainly the same but IE7 is more stylish while FF goes with the simple style. However you can customize the look of FF but not IE7. You can add toolbars to both and most of the main buttons aren’t hard to find.


Speeds:


FF is a clear winner here. FF’s speeds (for surfing the net) are great, the program loads up basically instantly and Internet speeds are great. IE7 takes a while loading (but not too long) but its Internet speeds aren’t as fast as FF’s, though they are quite good if you have broadband. However, when it comes to downloading I found that (for me) IE7 was faster. With FF I got speeds of up to 80KB Max, while with IE7 I got 150KB Max. Uploading things, e.g. photos had no major difference on IE7 compared to FF.


Reliability:


Both are very reliable for everyday use. FF, generally, has less problems then IE7. But all in all I have had practically no problems with either of them which is good.


Add-ons:


FF has a wide range of Add-ons ranging from different skins to new tools e.g. dictionary, etc. IE7 has some cool add-ons but these aren’t specifically built for IE7 they are just add-ons to ‘enhance’ your experience of IE7. FF definitely has a larger amount then IE7.


Overall:


Overall I would recommend both but if you are looking for the all out best (and lets face it, who isn’t?) I would highly recommend FF, but thats not to say IE7 isn’t good

MacBook Pro 2007....With Santa Rosa


The new MacBook Pro 2007 (17"), with Intel's new Santa Rosa platform has been reviewed and praised by many. Some even saying its the best laptop from Apple. I really want one after using one for a short period of time last week. Its really good and not to mention you get the best of both worlds with Apple's BootCamp - Mac OSX & Windows ;)

Ad-Aware 2007

Just downloaded Ad-Aware 2007 (Link below). I must say the new UI, layout and features & tools are prefect. It took an hour to fully scan my computer but still it got rid off quite a lot of stuff. I love this new version. Ad-Aware just keeps on getting better and better. ;)

I recommend anyone to download this if they haven't already.

I might put a review of it on the blog but I'm not sure yet. I'll most certainly be posting a few screen shots of it later on today.

Tomorrow...

I will put up my IE7 & FireFox Comparison. I hope you enjoy reading it ;). I'll also put up a few screen shots of IE7 & FireFox.

Make sure you check it out and feel free to leave a comment :).
