The GMail team announced that the https connection will be used by default when you login into your Gmail account. This option is not new and is already exist since 2008. So, what is HTTPS? An excerpt from Gmail’s help:

HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.

It is good that Gmail enable it by default from now on. But there is a drawback, using https connection is slower that using the normal http connection. But for better privacy/security protection, I guess that it is better to use https connection.

Finally, a class update for Soldier (my favorite class)! There is also a class update for Demoman too. This means that all the classes in TF2 already have their class updated. For this class updates, it is a bit special. There is a competition or “war” between these two classes. The class that wins in this war will get an extra weapon! I hope that the soldier will win this war…

Another new feature in Google! Just notice this when I was searching something using IE8. Can’t get it to work in Firefox though. :/

ps: The video is recorded using ScreenToaster. Pretty easy to use. Will probably write a post on it in the future.

I notice that breadcrumb navigation is now showing in the Google search result. It is quite random and not all search results have it. Maybe need some SOE. Better result discovery/navigation? What do you think?

Ok… the PSP Go! is now available. And here come the question: should you buy it? The price of the PSP is not cheap, so it can be a hard decision to make. Let’s list out some pro and con of the Go.

Pro:

• Slimmer, Lighther.
• Large Built-in storage space.
• Bluetooth.
• Pause game.

Con:

• More expensive than normal PSP and only $30/RM200 cheaper than the PS3.
• Cannot play UMD games/movies.
• Not compatible with existing accessories (Camera, GPS, etc…) unless you buy another converter.

As you can see from the list above, if you own a PSP, PSP Go! is not a good upgrade for you. All your existing UMD games will become useless since you can’t transfer to the Go. Existing accessories is also not compatible out-of-the-box, you need to get an extra adapter for it (and it is not elegant).

The conclusion is, if you don’t own a PSP now, you can consider the PSP Go if you have the budget (the price of the PSP Go is RM1099 (USD249) while the PS3 Slim is RM1299 (USD299)). If you are tight in budget, the normal PSP is the way to go. If you are a curent PSP owner, the PSP Go! is not a good upgrade unless you have the extra money to spend.
