I actually did HTML5test for checking new standard support, I know HTML5test is flawed also no where near to perfect, but tell me any other benchmark etc and I will test it on that benchmark. Score for me does not matter, if site renders fine then I am fine with it, even if it scores just 5 points.

IE11 is quite fast with Web Workers (even in VM) as compare to IE10 desktop realtime..

IE11 - 8.4k ms (rounded off)

IE10 - 12.3k ms

On this benchmark

http://afshinm.github.io/50k/

Sunspider 0.9.1 was 98.5 ms, incredibly fast to be honest. This is for whom it matters, to me it does not.

With IE11 in Build 9385, I noticed, IE11 is now passing "video.addTextTrack" in rng.io benchmark as well. So they are improving them in standard support perspective even till now. It is good to see.

I wish the old guards at Microsoft would come to their senses add proper extension support. Devs can do it now, but they'll have to dig into C++ and undocumented apis to get around in IE.

Good things there are devs dedicated enough. I've been using AblockIE trial from mgtek and they've progress along greatly. AdblockIE is probably 2nd to ABP for firefox. Better than ABP for Chrome and Opera in term of features. One negative is that it's paid so not sure if that much people would be willing pay for that over built in TPL.

Ghostery just also released their addon for Ie10 and it's ok, not as fast as adblockie.

you code and design now and then? I code for living.

IE still is pain in the butt. chrome and FF is easy to code.

If you coded for a living, you would code for the broadest usability. IE isn't a pain in the butt to code for any more or less than anything else. Also, why re-invent the wheel for everything when there are plenty of tools available that take away all these pains that cost about as much as 10 hours of your labor?

With Microsoft implementing HTML5 + JavaScript in its core API, it won't be long before everyone else is left behind and if you code for firefox/chrome you're just ignoring a huge market segment.

What I found in Windows 8.1 Preview:

 

SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2  are enabled by default.

Amazing CSS3 support, scoring 61% and passing 573 tests on CSS3test.com

 

Testing more little by little.

Can you check if IE11 support pointer-event: none; on all html element? IE10 currently only support it on SVG canvas.

Check this page: http://robertnyman.com/css3/pointer-events/pointer-events.html

 

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I just want to quote my own post and confirm the latest IE11 Release Preview now support pointer-event: none on all DOMs.

 

Yay! now my lightout script work nicely on it. :)

    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.

    • They have lots of info on me, I have a facebook account and have done so for years, it was the thing to have then. My phone number is not on it. I don't have the Facebook app on my phone these days, just the messenger part, and only for a couple of people to contact me, most will text me via SMS or phone. I agree, Meta, like others, even without an account will know something about me. Just have to try and keep some things private Also, never saw the need for Whatsapp, people used to ask for me to join it, but as I said to them, I have SMS and a phone, use that, or email
