Um, I uninstalled it, and I ended up with the same problem when I System Restored. Damn you, XP SP3!!! :tantrum:

I never thought I'd have to do this again, but I'm going back to Opera until XP SP3/IE8 is in its final version.

Anyone notice that if you do a search in Google,Live Search, and Yahoo from their search pages the search word(s) will show up in the search box in the top right corner. If you misspell a word and click the corrected link ("Do you mean: blablabla") the corrected word will also show up in the search box in IE8.

I just uninstalled IE8 in one of my computer, I have 3 and one of them was acting up whenever I got a particular site (ex: playstation.com, windows live mail, etc.,) it just shows black screen or IE just freeze.

I understand that it's beta but my other 2 computers it works just fine sometime I have to use the emulate ie7 to see the site.

Does anyone else having the same problem.

IE8 is horrible. It's just so slow and bulky, it's so annoying I hate it. I can't even "view image" or middle click the home button, and just the way everything goes down in IE8, and IE in general is painful. FF3 has been much more amazing so far IMO.

it's a beta for developers and not users, what do you expect? All their efforts right now are on the rendering engine and related components.

Yes. Thats right and it just shows that Microsoft are getting ready for fast development and want to try and get some feedback from whoever is willing to install it.

I found one a problem with IE8. I'm sure the developer just got lazy, and decided to duplicate everything to show what could be potential.. but this doesn't classify as "more"

Huh?

I'm sure that's how it's intended to be. They don't want the "Find more activities" option in the main list, and if you're adding more activities, would that not be "more activities"? :huh:

Am I missing something here?

the left menu shows the default providers for each activity, the more menu would show ALL providers for ALL activities. Because you only have the defaults, thats all you see

Automatic Crash Recovery (down to the tab level) is something that's in no browser currently (certainly not Firefox or IE, though both support tabbed browsing) unless (again) you're referring to a separate add-in/plug-in/extension for Firefox.

I know if opera crashes when I reload it it keeps the last state, same with maxthon which incidently is based on IE. I think the problem IE has it doesnt save the tab state until you close the browser which means if it crashes it loses the data. Opera and maxthon must be either saving the state at regular intervals or when a new tab is open/closed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
