Google search results error with AVG

While using Google search in the Chrome browser I received the following error message:
TypeError: Object #<Text> has no method 'getBoundingClientRect'

Clicking OK removed the message and allowed me to continue as normal, then I received the error message again a few moments later. I managed to find that the error would occur when moving the mouse cursor over particular adverts on the right hand side of the search results, I then realised that these adverts had an AVG related icon on the left of the title which when you hover over an AVG dialog would appear regarding the safety ratings. To fix the error I turned off the AVG safe search option in the 'Google Extensions' options.

Most popular browsers

I have just been looking at the stats for this blog and I was surprised to see which browser was the most popular. Here are the stats for the top 5.

1. Firefox 34%
2. Internet Explorer 24%
3. Chrome 16%
4. Safari 16%
5. Opera 3%

The reason why I was surprised is that years ago I used Firefox because it was a great alternative to IE, since then I found that IE caught up and then Chrome was released which I now consider the best browser for the Windows OS. I also used Opera for a short time and was impressed with some of the features included with the browser. The reason why I liked Chrome over IE, Firefox and Opera is that it runs really fast. I can see that Firefox users dislike IE and will eventually move over to Chrome and Chrome and Safari will become the top browsers.

LG OLED Super thin TV

LG have released the next generation of TVs with a 55 inch screen that is only 0.16 inch thick!!! OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode and is more efficient than existing LED/LCD TVs, but currently the new TV will cost over £6000 ($10,000), however it is predicted that costs will drop like previous technology and will become affordable by 2015. OLED is currently used in other devices with smaller screens like the Sony PS Vita. I imagine Samsung will release a similar model in the next few weeks.
