Microsoft give ups, Chrome is better

When the news sparks on Microsoft decision to embrace new Microsoft Chromium-based Edge browser, we keep pondering why this could happen; is Chrome browser is much better than Edge browser?

Studies has been conducted on the internet browser and not surprisingly, despite Windows 10’s growing install base, there weren’t enough people using Edge. People were still picking Chrome and other rivals; such as Firefox and Opera. Why ? Coz they are much more faster, not much RAM eater, stabler, and much more plugin available.

Well, as of today, Microsoft’s default web browser has new paradigm with the official shift to an open-source engine best known for powering a rival browser.

Compatibility is the key result in this migration. In practical terms, the biggest impact promises to be on Windows users currently using Chrome. The move should make it easier for those users to switch to Edge, with the ability to run Chrome-based extensions and quickly migrate saved passwords, favorites and other settings from an existing Chrome installation.

But bigger picture, Microsoft’s strategy shows just how much the browser market and the broader tech landscape have changed since Internet Explorer ruled the early days of the web. Edge will be compatible with what they cannot before yet will also work on something that chromium is not compatible before.

4G/5G Fixed Wireless Access : Will we be able to narrow the digital divide?

With the split gap like river and sea, the 3G wireless broadband and 2.4GHz/5GHz WLAN - wireless LAN has been in the people live for a long time.  The 2.4GHz/5GHz WLAN spectrum extends the unreachable location by the high-speed wireless broadband.

But today, with the emergence of 4G technology and even 5G technology, people could be reach by one single station, via Fixed Wireless Access (FWA). 4G/5G FWA is also capable of providing up to 1 Gbps downlink bandwidth which mimics fibre-like experiences. This is ideal for global mobile operators who are seeking to expand their market presence.

As 5G is evolving from the initial commercial adoption, to a new stage of scaled deployment, the 4G/5G FWA industry ecosystem can significantly improve user experience and strengthen SME capabilities as the increased speed satisfies demand for smart homes, 4K video, and AR/VR services.

With huge capacity of 5G technology, users could have their own private network connected directly through 5G spectrum. Hopefully, this 5G far distance spectrum could connect rural area that is hard to reach before. However, since the technology very much new, the cost would probably strike higher and of course it would be transferred to the users. We do hope the internet big player, like Google, Facebook or even Amazon could play huge impact to reduce the cost of the technology since their benefit could be much bigger if the 5G technology is being implemented world widely.

To become the first trillionaire: Bezos outrageous target

While the world is facing the most tragedic economic bullies by the nature, Amazon seems to grap the benefir toward the pandemic. The online transaction is getting bigger and people are more toward online shopping for the next few years.

And Jeff Bezos, the bos of Amazon,  dare to set himself to become the first trillionare by year 2026. Is it possible? Well, this is possible if his company`s profit increase by at least 34% a year. Loo at the cloud service, a lot of orgnaizations are currently moving toward the "promise land”.


Yet, Is it only him want to become a trillionaire? What happen to Bill Gates? No more ambitious to become a trillionaire? said to become a trillionaire in 2042, is it seems to be late for him?

Even Mulkesh Ambani set himself to become a trillionaire in 2033. So it seem after 2025, something will happen. The society will have a very big gap between “big guys” and “layman”. Will China keep in silent on the matter? They have very huge resource cumulatively.

Can One plus 8 beat its 2020 competitors?

One of popular China's brand smartphone, One Plus, is ready to get their latest One Plus 8 into the market. The leak could be seen from the Iron Man show holding the One Plus 8 written with 5G technology at the back.

The latest rumo says that it will.be Powered by latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC with Adreno 650 GPU. Its operation is said to be supported by 4500 MaH fast charging battery.

Now, the question is, can it really stand together with Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra or Huawei P40? Or will the new One Plus 8 give some values that are not available at another phone?

For me, One Plus phone was one of the unique and great phone when it was powered by CynogenMod. But now, seems it need to follow others and could not be unique anymore.

Microsoft finally start breathing after dying via Windows 11

Microsoft has recently released the latest Windows version, Windows 11 or Windows 2020. Thr new version has a quitely most of paradigm shist, almost totally new in its UI. Even the edge browser has been revamped to a new design, follow the chromium architecture, which lead faster and rich content.

If we follow closely on this new windows version, does it look like a liitle bit of MacOS and Linux GNome? 

Well since I am working with both MacOS and Fedora Linux Gnome, it seems very much familiar. Of course, the windows version looks better with its new UI and works with multiple layout.

But the main concern, still, the security and require of huge processing in order to run the apps. 

I never turn off my Macbook pro for couple of months and still working superb, but I dont think will do on Windows.

Smartphone dominance in 2020

Year 2020 is getting more challenging to most of smartphone companies. iPhone is dying. The Samsung Galaxy is dying. LG is Dying. The mobile phone market is struggling with innovation these days. Furthermore with the new and bulk of smartphone product from China largely reduce global smartphone share.

Consumers are merciless. We want hyper-innovation two times a year (iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus). No other industry exerts this level of improvement on the manufacturer. What if Ford was challenged with releasing 2 new models of Explorer twice a year – with each subsequent model making the driver desire it more. Jony Ive saying (in a British accent), “This is the best Explorer we’ve ever made. It is milled entirely from a rare element only found in a small village in Tibet.” Apple and Samsung’s biggest challenge is they can’t slow down. They MUST meet consumer demands or lose valuable market share. The iPhone is dying, and we are killing it. How has Apple responded?

2020 belong to folding smartphone

Since 2019, the smartphone market jump to a new concept, folding. The new gadget, initiated by Samsung, come into consumer segment through Samsung Galaxy Fold. 

It is as if you hold smartphone as well as table from the same smartphone. Make it look alive when the design is powered by AMOLED technology. I owned Nokia N9500 and N900 last time, and I do feel like to come back to old school with new technology.

Huawei also come out with foldable smartphone, but instead of folding out, it is a folding to extend the layout. Quit otherwise approach.
