How many digital devices do you have?  Let me think – desktop, laptop, mp3 player, pda, mobile… maybe external hard drive… and another laptop… and another phone….

Do you ever find it hard to have the information synchronized between all these devices?

Microsoft Live Mesh solves this issue, and more:

Add your devices to Live Mesh
Get all your devices connected together into the Mesh and get the folders synchronized

Explore your Live Desktop
Connect to remote PC via Live Desktop, plus online storage (free!!) for synchronization

Add and share folders
Yup, you can add folders!  You can choose to share with your friends or keep them private

Stay informed with news
Chat with others sharing the folder, check what’s updated in the shared folders

Surely it is a revolution to computer usage nowadays.  More information: http://www.mesh.com

The first beta of Jiffy-Web was released on 23/6/2008.  Good news to developers, Jiffy is an end-to-end real-world web page instrumentation and measurement suite.

What does it do?  You can use Jiffy to:

• measure individual pieces of page rendering (script load, AJAX execution, page load, etc.) on every client
• report those measurements and other metadata to a web server
• aggregate web server logs into a database
• generate reports

How does it work?

• Measurement – using the jiffy.js script to measure activities on webpages
• Configuration – Apache proxy configuration
• Log – an ingestor that posts logs to a database
• Working DDLs for Oracle XE and higher
• Reporting – for Oracle, but MySQL is coming
• Reporting user interface – using the Yahoo! User Interface Library

According to Google Code, “you can use Jiffy end-to-end by

• including Jiffy.js in your pages and instrumenting them with the appropriate mark and measure calls
• Making the configuration changes needed to your proxy
• Adding the ingestor as a cron job on your web servers, with appropriate connection strings
• Setting up the data model
• Editing the reporting configuration and deploying the reporting tools

More simply, you can combine Jiffy and the Firebug add-in to view Mark & Measure results for a single developer client.“

Microsoft is going to donate $1 to the Smith Family’s Learning for Life Program, if you go to this page and watch the Office 2007 Charity demo.

The video is quite a funny video, with a kid (indeed) introducing the features of Office 2007.  It is quite different to the usual commercial software introduction.  It brings life to the software.

Need not to say more, go and watch the video, and use Microsoft’s money to support the charity!

Have you downloaded Firefox 3?  During the 24-hour period, there was over 8 million downloads recorded.  Currently the result is being analysed by the Guinness team.

At the time of writing this article, the download record has just break through 9 million.

No matter Firefox 3 can make it to the world record, we should all be rewarded!  Therefore, Firefox is presenting a download day certificate for all people downloaded the latest browser software.  You should quickly go grab yours!

I have already installed Firefox 3 and my general impression towards it is: it is fast!  It makes loading of website a lot faster than the previous version (which was known to load webpages faster than IE).  I don’t quite like the address bar though – too many text when I tried to type something.
