Bravia Internet Widget TV - bring internet to your TV

If there is something that I probably wish to see on my TV set screen is, to be able to view  emails, YM  or Facebook in a form of widget while enjoying the shows. Apparently Sony Bravia 2009 Z-Series can do that. 

Although it sound ridicioulus when you’re watching TV to get some relax or enjoying the show,  but the the idea of doing this is like killing 2 birds with a stone, where you stay updated and at the same time being entertained. 

It is maybe not for ‘heavy browsing and graphic’ application an such as Facebook, Myspace or Gmail,  but how about tweeting from your TV??

Some other widget that I can thinking of that suite with this widget concept, is like the favourite sports results, breaking news, shares, weather, currency changes and etc.  Basically it is something that you can view it on the fly.

So what’s next? Real time blogging on breaking news being played on TV?

Yahoo YSlow 2.0 slideshow

About a year ago, I use YSlow for sometime to analyze my sites performance and other metrics that influence it. It will then suggesting what should be modified to improve it.

YSlow then grading sites based on the points accumulated from different factors. I still remember where Google and Yahoo graded ‘A’ with 99 and 90 points respectively.

So when I stumble about YSlow 2.0 slides today,  it remind me back of YSlow (first version) which only works on Firefox.

The slide filled with lots of technical stuff, but this is basically what YSlow 2.0 going to offered.
