I was trying to check my YouTube account this morning, like I do almost everyday, to see if there are some interesting videos that are worth watching.
I use Google Chrome as my default Web browser, everything sounds normal so far. But what happened when YouTube’s Home Page loaded, it looked so bizarre.
It looked as if some beginner was messing it up. So corrupt that I had to close the tab instantly. Take a look

This is what used to be on the side. And as you may notice, the link that said YouTube EDU is gone.

Now, it only looks like that on Chrome, the browser of the owner of YouTube, IE8 opened it successfully and the page looked pretty normal.

Hope Google takes care of that issue quickly.

It’s finally out of Beta. The educational-videos dedicated site is now officially launched.
It’s something like YouTube’s EDU, but less popular. I think it’s a great website, it has lots of videos and it will grow.

I love the websites design. It’s simple yet expressive and fits with the educational website idea.

Something that bothered me a lot when I was surfing the internet and went to see if Google Voice had become available.
Well, it didn’t. Still that stupid message is showing up “Will be available in a matter of weeks.” I’ve been seeing this message for more than a month now.
We really want to get our hands on this new app.

The all-new Microsoft OS, Windows 7, is in RC1 and is leaked on torrent sites.
There was a blog post here, a while back, which featured a report about Microsoft handing the RC1 to some “selected testers” but it doesn’t seem that they have protected it from being leaked to torrent uploaders.

Now, to the main point, what has the RC1 version to offer. Well, I haven’t checked myself, but it offers an improved Start Menu. That’s not much of course and we’re still looking forward for other improvements to get on the way in future releases.

I’m not planning to download the new version when it only offers one minor improvement. That’d be a waste of time. But if anyone is planning to install the OS, tell us what you think about it in the comments.

The Pwn2Own Competition challenges security experts to exploit web browsers to stand against their exploitation. On the first day of the competition, the only browser that could stand the attacks was Google’s new Chrome. While Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer fell one after the other.

In fact, Apple’s Safari was the first one to seize under the hackers’ attacks. Reportedly, Safari was exploited after a matter of seconds.

So, what makes Chrome so good. According to the former Pwn2Own champ, Charlie Miller:
As for Chrome, he says that he has identified a security bug in Google's browser but has been unable to exploit it because the browser's sandboxing feature and the operating system's security measures together pose a formidable challenge.

Google brought this one home, while the browser experts like Mozilla and Microsoft, their browsers couldn’t hold up and brought them, to say, a shame.

Score one for the Chrome folks.
