Hasta La Gadget!

This isn’t the first time someone was inspired to design women’s fashion based on web browsers, and it probably won’t be the last.

Photographer Viktorija Pashuta wanted to combine fashion and technology and came up with this fashion editorial that’s called “What If Girls Were Internet Browsers?“

And combine them, she did. With the help of stylist Chalia Young, Viktorija brought her ideas and concepts to life. Apparently she wanted to bring out the functionality of each browser aside from just their colors and I think the models did a pretty good job at doing this.

For instance, Internet Explorer is flashy, Firefox sexy, Opera elegant, Chrome utilitarian and Safari – trendy/hip.

The green is Chrome. The blue is Internet Explorer. The orange-ish color is Firefox. If you can see any red or grey that would be Opera and Safari, respectively. And though I personally believe all browsers have become horrible in their own ways, having Chrome at the top of most country’s usage list according to Statcounter is certainly a lot better than the alternatives ruling the world. Good job world. Enjoy the suffering southern tip of Africa and all of China and Greenland.

The NYTimes’ spectacular multimedia feature “Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek,” is incredible. The elegant design and tasteful extras only contribute to the gripping narrative. It’s everything we’ve been promised about the journalism of the future. But if you’re looking at it on Internet Explorer 8, you’re doing it wrong. More »

We’ve known for some time that Microsoft was working on bringing Internet Explorer 10 to Windows 7 — in fact, the company published a blog post promising the preview version would be ready sometime in mid-November. Then, we heard it could be available today. Well, looky here! It is! The Release Preview is indeed now available to download from Microsoft’s site. As you’d expect, the Win 7 build has the same look and feel as the Windows 8 version, with full-screen browsing, hardware acceleration, deep multitouch support and a predictive “Flip ahead” feature that guesses what page you want to see next (page two of a story, the next round of search results, et cetera). If you own a Windows 7 PC that doesn’t have a touchscreen (and that’s probably the case), you should still be able to pull off multitouch gestures in IE using a trackpad, assuming you have the right drivers. If all else fails, though, you can still use the browser with the ol’ mouse and keyboard.
