Posted by: ChrisYou will have more than likely read our article earlier this week about our first impressions of Windows Series’ 7 however we didn’t really go into much details about Microsoft’s answer to the Apple AppStore.. the “Marketplace“.
Well, as you can see from the image above, the first screen you will see when you enter the Marketplace Hub is a page containing categories for various applications on the marketplace and a selection of featured applications, which at a guess will be used as an advertising space for applications. This may function in a number of ways; for example like the music hub showing your most recent accessed content or perhaps applications similar to that you’ve already downloaded? Read more »
Posted by: MattI strongly suspect that the majority of Digilounge users and visitors who are currently interested in sites with HTML5-powered stuff run browsers like Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. Still, if you happen to be saddled with Internet Explorer like me and want to experiment with HTML5 sites, you’re in luck because Christian Adams has created a new plugin that brings this video tag to IE.
Of course, it’s still a preview release at this point (there are no playback controls and you need to specify an attribute within the <video> tag to enable IE playback), but who knows, maybe Microsoft will bolt on support with an IE update at some point in the future. Internet Explorer 9 is a possibility.

After a somewhat disappointing Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach is to be Bungie’s last attempt at a game set in the Halo universe. Described as a “darker story of honour and sacrifice on a scale greater than anything we’ve created before.” It’s clear that this Halo title will be one of the most ambitious to date, especially with community leader Brian Jarrard boasting that it will be “Bungie’s greatest game ever” and “the defining Halo title from Bungie.” It will be sad to see Bungie leave Halo behind, but at least they are planning to go out with a bang.

You may have read recently about the large hack attack that was detected a few days back which internet giant Google we’re a victim of. Well according to the New York times, Security experts have traced the attacks to computers located at Shanghai Jiaotong University and Lanxiang Vocational School. Shanghai Jiaotong University is well known for its computer science program and the Lanxiang Vocational School was established with military support to train computer scientists for the military, which leads claims to that both their students could be capable of such hacking attacks.
In response to these accusations, China’s official Xinhua News Agency questioned a representative of the university who stated that the accusations are “baseless” and an official from the vocational school has said that an investigation has been carried out, and as a result no evidence was turned up linking the intrusions with school machines.
Google believe that the attacks were carefully planned as the e-mail accounts belonging to various human rights activists in China were compromised in “a highly sophisticated and targeted attack” probably originating in China. Google also stated that it discovered knowledge of the attacks in mid-December, which now leads to why Google announced around that time that they would be stopping the censoring of search results in China and may possibly be backing out of the Chinese market altogether.
Posted by: MattMicrosoft has revealed the European Web browser choice screen that the European Commission forced it to include as part of its antitrust investigation settlement will start rolling out sometime next week via posting on it’s blog.
Dave Heiner stated that the design and operation of the screen “was worked out in the course of extensive discussions with the Commission and is reflected in the commitment that Microsoft made.”
The UK, Belgium and France will be getting the first tryout of the ballot screen, which will be rolled out sometime next week via Windows update. The rest of Europe will receive the new ballot screen in a phase beginning from the 1st of March. As well as the ballot screen popping up, Internet Explorer will be automatically “unpinned” from the task bar as part of the process.
The web browsers are listed accordingly in random order to comply with the EU agreement, so that favouritism is not shown towards Internet Explorer or other browsers.
If your a Windows 7 user, be sure to see the screen above sometime next week!
