Lifehacker did the speed test with the latest most popular browsers available in the market: Firefox, IE7, Opera and Safari. And here are the winners:

• Test 1: Startup time—Winner: Opera!
• Test 2: JavaScript & CSS—Winner: Safari! Opera is just very near.
• Test 3: Memory use—Winner: Firefox 3!

Let’s re-emphasize that this was far from a scientific study, and your mileage will certainly vary on different systems. With Opera and Firefox especially, running a like-new version is somewhat of a cheat—almost any enthusiast is going to have a must-have extensions, features, and add-ons running, which throw off the speed and memory scales. Still, it was gratifying to actually sit down and measure all the major browser options on a human level, just a timer, a spreadsheet, and a few cups of nerve-boosting coffee.

A guide to high-tech parenting

Everyone knows that babies crawl before they walk and that tricycles come before two-wheelers. But at what age should children get their first cellphone, laptop or virtual persona?

Haha! This article directly pointing at me since I was launched my daughter website a few days ago.

Well, for me, such website is just a documentation. Not at all. I also thought about whether my daughter at her later age do not want the website, well she can drop it off. No problem. Or, she might want to update by herself. It’s been likely not any problem. Yes, I also thought about my daughter privacy, whether or not she want to be public, and anything like else.

My only concern about getting those high-tech stuffs is just about documentation. So my daughter having her picture from her birth, her first laugh, her first steps, everything we want try to be documented. Like her parents, both of them lack of documentations. We are only having photos of us at high school So, I wonder she would be thank to us, and may be have fun looking through all her funny and memorable pictures as well, and may be later knowing how wonderful her life as well. Life is wonderful, isn’t it?

Once in my life, I want to be a writer. That’s why such a passion feeling come when I can see how an actual writer’s rooms looks like. Writer’s Room, published by Guardian.

Several years before, I recalled to read same book in a library, The Writer’s Desk (pictured in right). ome are familiar contemporary figures such a Amy Tan, Stephen King, and Joyce Carol Oates; and also some older generation. It depicting how writers room are, one of them including their hundreds (and may be thousand) of books spreading on their table. A writer noted, “I do not like my wife to fix up this room. It make difficult to find a books I liked”.

Here are my favorites writers:

Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Roald Dahl, author of children book Matilda

George Bernard Shaw, famous play writer.
