To actually bring up something slightly more serious: "I didn't have time to wait for Firefox to open up" - Is this really valid today? On my computer Firefox starts up slightly slower than Chrome, but that's because it's full of add-ons. W

I'm surprised that people are talking about the little-black-box-Apple TV. To me, this seems like a great way to introduce the "real" Apple TV (iTV?), with a big screen. Some rumours say it'll be ready by the end of the year.

Other than sites with child-porn, no pages are blocked. However, more or less upon request from the US, we have the FRA who can monitor telephone-conversations, Internet-traffic etc for people they suspect for various reasons. Sadly, it pro

Saying that everything the common man is able to create today is "LOLCats" is just as bad as the "culture will die if we remove copyright"-argument. Good things, works of art, survive. Those LOLCats will still be there in the future, sure,

This one is great as well: "I sometimes hear the old guard say that there would be no culture if there was no copyright monopoly. That is an outrageous insult to creators all over the world today." When someone makes that claim, they ignore

It didn't even increase the speed of my computers fans from lowest point. And normally, a YouTube-video can be enough to do that. That's impressive. Nokia scores a point with me here, if they keep delivering things like this I may even cons

I think they do, on their normal site. We'll see when it comes up in a few days again.

Indeed, that left me wondering. If it's so outdated, perhaps they could stop hunting "the last of the file-sharers"? Or perhaps it's just some way of trying to make file-sharing look less "cool", something of the past, for the public.

The headline says "Slick", but in my opinion this goes even further than that. Every part of it that I've seen so far is beautiful. That includes the homepage, too. This is the kind of really well-made apps that made me switch to OS X in th

First, please, don't get me wrong because I am absolutely against his anti-gay policies myself. From what I've read, the site which has given Santorum a meaning have made the demand that he stops talking negatively about homosexuals. If he

They appear to be alone about supporting grid-based layouts, and share experimental support with Webkit for regions, exclusions and shapes. (I'm just going by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_%... , I haven't had

"I don't think that was the progress that Tim Berners Lee had in mind." I don't think he had IE6's non-standard quirks in mind, either. Had they not come up with their own standard, the concept of graceful degradation would certainly have b

"Has 10 caught up to Webkit/Opera/Firefox?" In some areas, yes. In some areas, they're even ahead of the competition. Other areas still lack however, WebGL, as you mention is one of them. Sadly, their slow update-cycle means that whatever t

I suspect it will be more about IE8's lack of support for CSS3 (and HTML5), meaning that we will have to keep bothering with various tricks and libraries to (partially) fix these for us.

Will IE7 be the new IE6, or have most of IE7-users already upgraded to IE8 or higher?

For those who are left wondering what purpose it has, it's apparently intended to "wreak havoc" on sites which hotlink CSS-files.

"IE9 is a decent browser (by all measures superior to Firefox)" That's an opinion, not fact. I'd appreciate if you explain why you think so.

That argument would work unless the competitors were supporting the same old OS-versions too, plus (in most cases) at least two other platforms.

To be honest, I fail to understand why Google needs to do this. Chrome is gaining market-share at a very high pace already. Are they targeting a specific group of people in this case, or is this some misdirected effort by a third party adve

That is true, and I agree with it. If that's what you meant, I apologize. My post came more out of annoyance that you kept adding more info with the "And OK"-label, which partially changed your initial stance.

That doesn't make it a fair comparison though, given the massive differences in economics of European countries (to mention one thing).

I'd like to see a requirement about respecting the "Don't track me"-switch, and not collecting any personal details, as well. Privacy is one of the reasons, aside from the ones mentioned, as to why I block ads.

That makes us two. I run with the first three and a couple more of those you mentioned (although NoScript isn't in global mode, if you can bother with RequestPolicy, why not NoScript as well?). I know about most of the others you mentioned

Is this really the case? Most non-technical people I talk to don't seem to care about security or maintenance, unless it prevents them from performing their daily computer-activities.
