Our resident PC user, AngeLin, explores the new Explorer.



Some new technology I'd like to share with the class:

I'm a Firefox fan, but the new Internet Explorer 8 is pretty nifty!

Now, you can highlight words on any website, right-click and it opens up a menu allowing you to easily look up that word on dictionary.com, Google map you to that location, find reviews about that word on Yelp.com, etc. There are a bunch of add-ons you can download for free to personalize your IE8 quick links. It makes everything pretty convenient. Now you don't have to open up a new tab or window in order to use those applications. It's one simple click away. -AngeLin
