Since the Internet era has began internet browser has played a major role in delivering the world wide web(WWW) to homes and offices around the globe, One of the most popular internet browser used in every PC is the Internet Explorer(IE), considering it is bundled on Windows. Mozilla Fire Fox came close against IE while Opera has its own share.
And now the competition just got bigger, Apple company which is the manufacturer of MAC just recently released their Safari browser for PC machine. And they claim that its the fastest web browser on any platform, loads pages up to 1.9 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 and up to 1.7 times faster than Firefox 2.
Safari browser are clean, sleek look that lets you focus on the web instead of your browser. The browser frame is a mere one pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when you need one. One features I like with Safari browser is that whenever you land on a page that offers an RSS feed, it displays an RSS icon in the address field. You can click it and you view the simple RSS feed. Bookmark it and Safari tells you how many updates have been added since your last visit. The RSS view in Safari is customizable, so you can adjust article length or sort and filter articles by date, title, and source. You can also use the built-in search field to find articles relating to topics of interest.
Over all the Safari browser is doing fine in my browsing activity and maybe I will make it my default browser in days to come.

What's a hybrid hard drive(HDD)?

A hybrid hard drive is a new generation hard drive which will eventually in the future replace the old conventional design. Hybrid hard drive functions thru the use of a large non-volatile flash memory(Up to 1 gb) integrated in the circuitry of the harddrive, when you runs an application or a files, the harddrive temporarily store everything on the non-volatile flash memory and will be save later when you shut down your PC or harddrive needs to move data to the platter.In this way the harddrive will performs past and save power considering that the spindle motor and actuator of your drive is not performing while processing data, it will also allows past startup of your system.Exception to the rule is when your harddrive is processing a file that is bigger than its memory.
Note:Non-volatile flash memory-is a kind of memory that is capable of keeping data even if there is no more power on your harddrive, it performs similar of your mobile phone or digital cam memory.It was release first for commercial use on laptop computers.Just recently Japanese firm released its DRAM version instead of a flash memory.
