IE 9 RC out

Love the way that title looks—Does Microsoft know catchy product names or what?

Anyway, downloaded the new IE9 release candidate—has a nice, efficient UI and seems just as speedy as Chrome. I can see myself using it instead. Although I’m not sure why I would.

Interestingly, I noticed it renders colors a little differently—compare this screencap of IE vs. Chrome displaying the same Flickr photo. IE’s is a bit warmer (more red) and noticeably brighter. Odd right? Jake, do you why this is?

    Oh, color profiles & web browsers are a tough nut to crack. Everyone agrees that Safari handles color profiles well, all else is a crapshoot.
