World's First ''Roll-to-Roll'' Manufactured OLED

I'll start this off with a little background info. A Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)is thin organic material between two electrodes. This organic material lights up when current is applied. OlEDs are also much more efficient than traditional lighting.
OK, so now that you have a bit of background info, you are probably wandering what this "Roll-to-Roll" thing is. It means they are "printed" like newspaper. This allows for dirt cheap production of highly efficient lighting. The benefits are obvious, but there are some cool things too, such as light emitting wallpaper for your house.

Tip for those of you who use Zune.

If you are on the new software(The one that came with the Zune 4/8/80)and find it slow. try this:
1. right click on the Zune desktop icon, and click "Properties"
2. in the Target field add -gdi at the end so it says "C:\Program Files\Zune\Zune.exe" -gdi

Hope this helps.

Internet Explorer 8 to be Standards Compliant

For those of you that don't know Internet Explorer has had issues with standards compliance in the past. IE will largely ignore the standards and do what they want because they have 70% of the browser market. When IE7 launched, it broke many pages, because they were made to display in IE6, and 7 fixed alot of bad coding in 6. Microsoft wants to avoid this problem with IE8, and has made it standards compliant, as well as offering a backwards compatibility mode.
The only problem is, to display web pages in older browser modes you have to add a code

in this example the web page is built to run in IE7 and Firefox 2. The big issue with this is that there will be billions of pages that DON'T have the tag because most won't know it exists, and the page will load horribly. I for one am waiting for that web breaking day of release for IE8, and am saying "Switch to Firefox"
