The following CSS selectors are considered workarounds and hacks for specific web browsers.

IE 6 and below
* html {}
IE 7 and below
*:first-child+html {} * html {}
IE 7 only
*:first-child+html {}
IE 7 and modern browsers only
html>body {}
Modern browsers only (not IE 7)
html>/**/body {}
Recent Opera versions 9 and below
html:first-child {}

Source: CSS Hacks

Usage
If you want to add 5px padding to a div element called #comments specifically for IE 7, then you can use the following hack:

*:first-child+html #comments {
padding: 5px;
}

But if you want to apply the padding just for IE 6, then the following will do the trick:

* html #comments {
padding: 5px;
}

Note that CSS Hacks are not recommended due to their dependence on browser bugs and therefore they should only be used as the last resort.

Although I am not a poker player myself, I find poker games interesting after watching Casino Royale (James Bond series). Mac Poker, as the name suggests, is a website which provides information and resources for games such as pokers and casino for Mac users. It is not only useful for those who plays poker games online, but also useful for those who just want to learn about pokers.

Mac Poker reviews and rates popular online poker rooms and websites for Mac such as PacificPoker, PokerRoom, PartyPoker, HollywoodPoker, EuroPoker, FullTilt Poker, Absolute Poker, Absolute Poker, and Bugsys Club. The reviews provide comprehensive information about the rooms including layout, customer service, games available, tournaments, players reward system, operating systems compatibility and so on. Pacific Poker is rated number 1 with an overall score of 6.93.

If you are a poker player and are looking for bonuses and bonus codes, check out Poker Bonus page which has a list of poker rooms with bonus code/special offer link for you to redeem free cash. The website also has how-to articles on poker games (for eg: How to Play Poker - Texas Holdem and Omaha) which will come in handy when you want to learn more about how to play poker games.

The best thing I like about Mac Poker Online is the website itself; it provides a positive user experience from the very start with a professional look and feel which is uncommon for online games websites.

Google announced today that they will be acquiring DoubleClick Inc. for $3.1 billion (in cash). DoubleClick is a global leader in digital marketing technology and services, and is well-known for its online ad management technology.

“It has been our vision to make Internet advertising better – less intrusive, more effective, and more useful. Together with DoubleClick, Google will make the Internet more efficient for end users, advertisers, and publishers,” said Sergey Brin, Google’s Co-Founder and President, Technology.

“DoubleClick’s technology is widely adopted by leading advertisers, publishers and agencies, and the combination of the two companies will accelerate the adoption of Google’s innovative advances in display advertising,” said Eric Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Google.

“This transaction will strengthen our advertising network by expanding our access to publisher inventory and enabling us to serve the needs of a broader set of advertisers and ad agencies,” said Tim Armstrong, Google’s President, Advertising and Commerce, North America.

“Google is the absolute perfect partner for us,” said David Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of DoubleClick. “Combining DoubleClick’s cutting edge digital solutions for both media buyers and sellers with Google’s scale and innovative resources will bring tremendous value to both our employees and clients.”

Google recently acquired YouTube in October 2006 for $1.65 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction.

I wonder who is going to acquire what next?

I have just upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.1.3. Although there is no major changes on the look and feel and functionalities, it is highly recommended to upgrade because the latest version includes fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems.

I can’t wait till WordPress 2.2 is released. It looks very promising with some attractive features as below:

• Tagging
• Permalink redirection
• Improved comment editing
• Atom 1.0 support for feeds
• Multiple format comment feeds, including Atom
• Switched to jQuery for core JS, which is lighter and faster
• Atom API support
• Additional XML-RPC APIs for pages and such
• phpmailer - integrated for performance and maintainability

The Internet is considered to be one of the biggest offenders in causing distraction and unproductivity in today’s workplace. The Sydney Morning Herald and Reuters reported that according to a study, two out of three British web users lose significant portions of their time to irrelevant web browsing. It was also said that workers confronted with the almost unlimited pool of online information become distracted and begin “wilfing,” short for “What Was I Looking For?”.

“Although people log on with a purpose, they are now being offered so much choice and online distraction that many forget what they are there for, and spend hours aimlessly wilfing instead”, said Jason Lloyd from price comparison website moneysupermarket.com.

Is the Internet to be blamed for having a large pool of information and resources available readily?
