Microsoft has named the date for the first beta of its successor to Internet Explorer 8.

You’ll be able to download beta code for IE9 on September 15, the company said Thursday. Microsoft told The Reg that it’s not releasing code to MSDN subscribers in advance, followed by everybody else. Microsoft is planning to formally open the download gates for IE9 at an event in San Francisco called “Beauty of the Web”.

IE9 will be faster than ever. Hardware acceleration is another great feature of the Internet Explorer 9 that will boost the browser speed.

What to expect from IE9?

• Improved Support for HTML5
• Javascript Engine Chakra
• Hardware Acceleration
• and Much more….

Who will win Browser War??

Awesome. Wonderful news for iPod Touch users.

An iPhone parts supplier sent us these photos of what are claimed to be the front LCD and bezel of the upcoming 4th generation iPod Touch. The new part clearly shows a front-sided hole that would leave room for a front-facing FaceTime camera.

While we’ve seen similar parts before, this part is clearly marked as an Apple part “Apple (c) 2010″. This stamp is visible in the full resolution image. The part is also stamped with April 29, 2010, indicating that the build date is relatively recent.

Apple is widely expected to release new iPod Touch devices this fall. Rumors had already pegged the new Touch to likely carry a front-facing camera. Apple will be using email addresses instead of phone numbers to initiate FaceTime calls.

There are some WordPress plugins I wrote in the last years. Those are publicly available on WordPress Plugin Directory. I made this simple site just to keep my plugins up to date, documented, discussed. I hope it will be useful to many of us on finding some answers on plugins usage and configuration.
