Fired

By paikia On November 2, 2003 Comments Off

A Microsoft temporary employee found himself on the receiving end of a pink slip this week when he published a photo of the shipping and receiving loading dock area of the Microsoft campus on his Web blog. Microsoft fired him because it claimed the photo was a security risk (people viewing the photo would be able to figure out where the loading dock is located). The former employee later admitted what he did was wrong, though he did offer up an interesting conspiracy theory if you’re into that kind of thing: The photo he took shows a pallet of brand-new PowerMac G5 computers being unloaded!

huh? security risk? wtf! m$ dont want ppl to know they are using G5?
his last interview @betanews.

Browser

By paikia On November 1, 2003 Comments Off

in the past 24 hr, i had installed 5 to 6 web browsers…. just to test which one is better.

mozilla firebird although seem like quite ok, but still in beta, some of the functions not complete yet. the bookmarks function quite irritating, especially i wanna import from my IE favorite. it was a tough job for me to import my 450+ bookmarks ( wow! i just realised i got so many bookmarks ).

Browser i installed:
MyIE2 link

Avant Browser link – bookmarks sort alphabetically, cant self moving it?! :|

Mozilla Firebird link – problems wif viewing some mixed chinese encoding website. bookmarks importing problem.

Mozilla 1.5 link – look quite ugly, like netscape :| .

Opera link – problem wif installing java.
