Internet Explorer 8 “activities” March 5, 2008

Activities: Microsoft’s version of microformats? They’re awfully similar & require no work for the developer. The downside? HTML documents will continue to lack the rich markup that microformats offer. We can continue using microformats to mark up our documents of course, but I wonder if this will stagnate their growth.

• Blu-ray Loses
  Not only was Blu-ray too expensive, the technology wasn’t as far along as Sony led us to believe. The delays not only make the PS3 too expensive; they made it late. That was effectively a one-two punch, knocking Sony out of the lead so far in the game console market.

• IMified: Familiar Productivity with Instant Messaging
  (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk, and Jabber are all supported) Could be a useful tool, unfortunately it appears as though they’re referring to the actual applications that are supported, and not the networks themselves. Update: I was mistaken about IMified, it is in fact the networks that are supported, not the applications. This is good news for them.
