Browser Comparison - Internet Explorer 9 vs other Browsers

Since I learned how to surf the internet, I never used Internet Explorer (versions 8 and below). The interface is very dull and the browsing speed is very slow.

But since I had switched to a newer version of the Internet Explore, IE9, everything has changed. Before I came up with IE9, I had tested several web browsers before - Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Rockmelt.
If I were to rate these browsers according to their performance (up to scale of 5), it will be:


Mozilla Firefox:
I had once used this browser before I met Google Chrome. That's it.


Google Chrome:

I had used this browser for a very long time. The interface is very good, very easy to understand. The browsing speed is amazingly fast.
But...
It consumes memory and CPU Usage a lot. I am currently using a laptop with an Intel Centrino 1.4GHz processor, 512MB DDR RAM and a 32MB ATI Radeon Video Card. That means running a massive program causes crashes on the system. This is the main reason why I always look at my task manager and observe the graphs pertaining to mu CPU and memory usage. When I watch videos on te internet, Google Chrome's plug-in, particularly the Shockwave plug-in usually crashes and I reallt hate this part. I need to close all the tabs and restart the browser again. When I use Google Chrome, I usually dont open another programs to avoid system crashes.
And another..
When it prompts you to save your password, anyone can see it. So saving passwords with this browser is strictly not preffered, even if you own your own PC or laptop.

Opera:

Although this has a very nice interface, I've just used this browser for only a few days (3 days to be exact) just for testing purposes. Memory and CPU consumption is less than Google Chrome but the browsing speed is slower than Chrome (even if you use it's 'turbo speed' option). I didn't like this browser.

Rockmelt:
This was my last browser before I had switched to Internet Explorer 9 (Windows 7 too). EXCELLENT interface. This is just like google chrome enhanced with social media capabilities. At this browser, you can easily see the live updates from Facebook / Twitter and it also has realtime update of the sites you have listed here via the RSS feeds. Of course, having too much features requires more memory usage.

Internet Explorer (IE9 to be exact):

When I switched to a new operating system, the Windows Seven Ultimate....
oopsss... it ran on a 512 RAM? (that's another topic... secret!!!!)
This browser was the built-in browser on the operating system I have installed on my laptop. I tried to use it because I searched the internet to download Google Chrome (There's no built-in Chrome on OS right?). I was amazed about the speed, as well as the interface, until I have explored all of the features and find all of them great. IE9 now also have a download manager, which it haven't before. Downloading is faster at this browser. So, why do I have to use Google Chrome that I have downloaded?,,, I did not use it anymore.
About Memory Usage:
Amazingly it was really great. It consumes LESS MEMORY AND CPU USAGE THAN CHROME. Also the FLASHPLAYER PLUG-IN doesn't crash anymore.
Everything's FINE now.

THIS IS THE BEST BROWSER I HAVE EVER USED.

DON'T COMPARE INTERNET EXPLORER 9 WITH ITS PREVIOUS VERSIONS.This is very different. As I have said earlier, it is the first time that I "USED" the Internet Explorer.

Hey Microsoft, can you pay me for this review?
ha haha ha ha, laughs!

How to Rewrite on a DVD-R and a CD-R Without any Burning Software

Part 1 Yes! you heard it right! You can now make your CD+/-R or DVD+/-R act like a rewritable one. During the Windows XP days, this is impossible. Once you have written something on a recordable disc, then you can't save a file on it anymore. Rewriting on a discs can only be done through CD+/-RW or DVD+/-RW type of discs. These rewritable type of discs costs as much as two to five times compared with the write-once or recordable discs. As I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP into Windows 7, I have discovered several exciting things about it. I first thought that this feature is only designed for RW discs, but I have once experimented it on a write-once disc and it worked! This discovery is among the most important feature of Windows 7 that I am using until now. I've researched on it and found out that this is possible through the Windows 7's UDF file system To do this, you need the following: A blank CD-R, CD+R, DVD-R or a DVD+R An optical bu...
