Helvetica

When walking down the street, varies of typefaces have been used for many occasions draw your attentions with their magic. Every word I saw has become a single character after watching the film Helvetica. It was an interesting documentary film, which tell us how important of the fonts and how widely use of Helvetica. The power of the words is not only reflected in its writing content; the size, shape or colour of typeface brings different messages to express a mood, an atmosphere and a culture.

Slow Internet Explorer

I am still using Internet Explorer 8 for my computer. Internet Explorer has made some advancement in the last few years that make it even more useful than it used to be. But somebody says that IE is slow, when I am using IE, the most effective factors to speed are bandwidth and the reliability of the broadband provider. I have been using wireless broadband both from Vodafone and O2, the explorer speed depends on the weather and the number of receivers from my area.    

Internet Explorer makes use of the accessibility framework provided in Windows. When I turn on my computer, I can see the big ‘E’ sign on my desktop is the internet explorer, which has been already installed in my system. It is convenient and supported by all websites. There are certain websites I use for online movies will not run on firefox. And the new version of IE has improved its disadvantages and features.
