Newspeak - if there is no word for something, does it still exist?
Mon, Feb 13th 2012 6:12a Stephan H Wissel George Orwell's famous novel 1984 introduces the concept of NewSpeak, a language where certain thoughts and the communication of them are impossible since the vocabulary has been removed from the language.

Give your web applications a speedboost and HTML5 compatibility boost in Internet Explorer
Wed, Jan 18th 2012 9:12a Stephan H Wissel With the accelerating emergence of mobile devices HTML5 takes centre stage.

With the dominance of Android and iOS in the mobile market Microsoft's Internet Explorer isn't the gold standard for browsers anymore, the test results rather show IE as trying to catch up.
