I used the template, and it works fine. However, I recently “upgraded” to IE7, and it doesn’t display properly with it. The sidbar (right) overlaps with the posts. Works fine with IE5,6,NT,etc. Any ideas? You can view it at http://wearredonfridays.blogspot.com/

This is what I fear the most, why can’t the guys at Microsoft follow the W3C guidelines? What the F___K is wrong with them? I have a hard time booting the wordpress theme to blogger, 90% of the times it doesn’t display properly in IE6, its a breeze to comply with Firefox. Microsoft is a big bully and they thinks that the world would be a better place if everyone follow their way. Enough is enough!

I hate to do this, I think its about time people say no for a change. Well, we can’t unseat Microsoft in the OS market anymore, but what we can do is use firefox, download firefox and stop using IE. Support Google and others.

Ironically, I’ve just finish reading the Icon, a book about Steve Jobs. Apple and their Macintosh is very much a closed system, between Microsoft and Apple, there is more freedom in programming and upgrading your computers when it comes to Microsoft system… I guess I have to choose the lesser evils – Microsoft. That’s ironic.

Apple To Announce iTunes Movie Rentals

Another three weeks before the Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off, and it is widely believed that CEO steve Jobs will use the keynote to address some Apple issues – his retirement. Okay, maybe it might be true since Bill Gates is retiring also, now the real issue is the debut of movie rentals through the iTunes Music Store.

Personally I love the idea, imagine able to rent movies for a limited time, certain movies are worth collecting while others simply belongs in the rubbish bin after watching it once. Apple is said to have ironed out agreements with Walt Disney, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Bros., and is currently in talks with other major movie studios as well. The problem with this big movie studio is the non-tech savvy CEO, still doing things the old ways.

The system works by stamping a deadline/limited views for every movie downloaded from the online store, after a few round of watching, the movie might stop playing – What to do? Makes me wonder if we back date our computer date, will it works?
