Apple comes with Reading List

The latest version of the Safari browser that will comes with iOS 5 will contain a new Reading List feature which allows you to save interesting articles to be read at a later point of time.The feature is similar to Read It Later or Instapaper which comes as a browser add-ons but in Apple this is a standard feature. Reading List provides a more modern, simpler way to bookmark Web sites to be read at a future date. It's especially important when you find something important but you dont have the time to read it. Apple feels that Reading List will gets widely adopted and millions of people start saving pages for later reading but the biggest challenge is convincing people that they actually need it.

Image identification technology

tineye.com is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks. When you submit an image to be searched, TinEye creates a unique and Compact digital signature or 'Fingerprint' for it, then compares this fingerprint to every other image in our database. TinEye does not typically find Similar images; it finds exact matches including those that have been cropped, edited or resized.It also shows where an image came from, how it's being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or find higher resolution versions.

Microsoft internet explorer 9 (IE 9)


IE9 Microsoft has focused on extending the browser's compatibility with modern Web technologies such as HTML 5 and CSS3. Microsoft says IE9 is faster than previous versions of Explorer because it maximizes your computer's hardware components, specifically your graphics processing unit (GPU), instead of improving browser speed solely through software tweaks.Technically, Internet Explorer 9 affords the most screen real estate for web pages, but it only does so by squeezing tabs and the address/search bar onto the same line.For Windows 7 users IE9's pinned Websites can be very handy. If you want to have easy access to sites you visit on a regular basis just drag the site's tab from IE9 into your Windows taskbar to pin it there. This will allow you to open the site in its own browser window with just one click.Internet Explorer also joined the Chrome-style revolution with IE9 RC1. The toolbar has been shaved down and the tabs have been put on the same line as the URL address bar to maximize the space for Web page views.IE9 also supports the HTML5 video and audio tags and the Web Open Font Format.Microsoft has released IE9 as a major out-of-band version that is not tied to any particular version of Windows, unlike previous versions.The company has taken a decision in order to push the web forward that Microsoft internet explorer 9 is not going to run in windows XP.
