It’s simply because you can play PacMan at www.google.com on your Nokia N900. :D

I got the power! Run for your life!

Nokia N900’s web browser fully supports Javascripts, that’s why.

Happy 30th Birthday to PacMan!
Wish you have a great weekend!
Cheers!

It’s been a long time since this blog got its Google PageRank 5. It should be around 2 years back if my memory serves me right.

In fact, I realized the recent update of Google PageRank about two weeks ago and was quite happy with it. I have not been sold text links anymore since the last PageRank (PR) drop, so I suppose this is the reward from Google to me for doing so.

Google PR of a website goes up and down depending on how Google judges it, therefore I’m not so particular with it. Nevertheless, it does have a significant effect to how the website is ranking in the Google search result.

This is how Wikipedia explains about Google PageRank :-

Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google. The PageRank is derived from a theoretical probability value on a logarithmic scale like the Richter Scale.

I usually use this PageRank Checker to double check the PR in addition to the PR showing on my Google toolbar. This PageRank Checker will query more than 20 Google servers across the world in order to show more accurate result.

By the way, I’ll be posting some reviews of Nokia N900 and two WordPress related books that has been long overdue. So, stay tuned! :)

WordPress has just released a new version 2.8.6 to fix 2 critical vulnerabilities :-

• 1. XSS (cross-site scripting) vulnerability
• 2. Problem with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache (web server) configurations.

XSS vulnerability basically means it allows an attacker to run malicious code right from the webpage of your website which has this vulnerability. So, it can be very dangerous.

On top of that, you have another good reason to upgrade if your server is running on Apache web server because of the 2nd vulnerability.

Therefore, login to your blog now and upgrade it as soon as possible. You are just one click away from running a more secure WordPress version by using the built-in auto-upgrade feature.

Did you see it coming? I would say this is the most anticipated product that I have been waiting for in these few years. This piece of exciting news just arrived after 10 months since Google Chrome Web Browser was released last year.

Most of the Operating System (OS) we are using today were designed and development prior to the Internet era. Google Development Team realizes this and is aiming to produce an OS for people who are relying on the web (Btw, who doesn’t?). Besides, they are also smart enough to sense that netbook is the new trend right now. Therefore, Google Chrome Operating System is designed for the web and will be initially used on netbook.

Below are some highlights of Google Chrome Operating System :-

• Open source – Like many of the Unix-based OS, it offers accessibility to its source code
• Lightweight – Less complicated, fast and easy to use
• Runs on x86 Computer Architecture – Meaning it runs on the same PC you are running Windows, Mac, Linux, etc, as well
• Secure – The security architecture of the OS was completely redesigned so that it’s virus, malware and security update free

The OS is scheduled to be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. I just can’t wait to see it!

More FAQ about the OS.
