We knew the long-awaited beta for IE9 would be releasing today, so there really doesn’t need to be a fancy introduction. Microsoft says that this beta is pretty much done, which means you shouldn’t come across many critical bugs. Redmond also claims that IE9 is far more flexible with HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2 standards. It’s also the only browser with full hardware acceleration. If you feel so inclined, download the IE9 Beta HERE and let us know what you think.

Ever wanted to know what it’s like to climb a 1,768-foot tall (539m) broadcast tower? This brave worker strapped a camera to his head and now we get to experience the pure craziness that he’s going through. If you’re afraid of heights in any way, this might make you a bit queasy.
You heard the narrator right. This guy isn’t strapped to anything while he climbs.

EA’s official Need for Speed Twitter account posted an interesting, but vague update this morning:
“T-Mobile is giving away a FREE car in Need for Speed World! Enter the code ‘getconnected’ to get yours today: http://t-mobile.ea.com/home“
After heading to that page, you’re left a little confused as there’s no signs pointing to where you get this free car. So, how do we get it then? Follow the break and find out.

Good news for those using the Twitterverse (or maybe not, depending on your stance with new website designs)! Twitter has unveiled a completely new look to Twitter.com. Overall, it looks a lot like their iPad app. It’ll have two columns, the left side displaying the stream and the right side showing all of the other miscellaneous content. A new feature that they added is embedded content. Instead of links opening in new tabs or windows, the link will now open in-line in the right column. The new design will slowly start to rollout to select members today, but no word on when it will hit everyone officially. Continue on after the break for a quick video tour of the new look and learn more about the new Twitter here.
