There is one IE9 feature that I miss in Chrome or Firefox: "Preserve Favorites website data" under Delete Browsing History. With that I can delete all cookies after a session but my logins stay active. And I don't need an extension for it.

A real "About Us" section would be nice. No marketing unit is going to do business with two twitter accounts. And IMHO don't use twitter accounts with your position on SOPA. 95% of your customers don't care or don't (want to) know.

I find it interesting that Safari is not picking up with all the success they have recently. And these plots should start to show more clearly what's going on in the mobile and desktop browser-space. I assume this plot (page 2) does not sho

Self-checkouts are not just about speed. They also appeal to specific kind of people. I use them because I don't want to interact with someone just to get some groceries. I know, it's kind of sad, but I don't want to say 'Hi' and 'Thank you

I don't see silent updates in FF10 yet. True silent ones are only possible if you move the install into the Roaming area, otherwise win7 with resonable security settings will ask for confirmation. From what I know, IT-departments don't like

The 'new' toolbar is higher than the black one, taking up more space, every site seems to transition to those sticking toolbars that do not go away when I scroll down. It's not about content anymore, it's about navigation and sharing. The

It's not the IE/Chrome squeeze I'm concerned about. Webkit(Safari, Silk, Chrome) and IE are the only players on their mobile platforms, that's what makes me sad. FF on Android is so far behind webkit, I wonder if they will ever catch up, or

As a fellow german, but not a Fachinformatiker, I suspect colleagues without a degree still have a hard time to work their way up into more advanced management roles or just into the higher income brackets. I wish that would not be the case

One important implication is more consume. If people get from A to B per car without paying attention on the road, they can consume more entertainment, do more google searches, spend more time on the web. Capacity utilization and efficienc

Play with and extend a scripting language. This might be a little old school, but for example the Tcl source is considered to be very clean C. You can download the source, implement your own command via shared library in C, or simply check

I like that thought: influx of a generation of Germans raised under "socialism" has strengthened the base of voters valuing economic stability An interesting point. What is also important, Germany is not an Two-party system, and ele

The problem with most of these cloud initiatives from Microsoft is the missing integration with WinXP. LiveMesh and Skydrive desktop integrations are fine on Win7, but there are still lots of XP users out there, and most of this stuff does

Lets put this into perspective: We are talking about Google-Apps, not Search! Marketshare is very small, and a company even considering working with GApps will not do so with IE7 anyway. Wake me up when Google is dropping GMail support for

Yes, there is oversimplification, but one observation I believe is correct: IPO in 2012 is too late. People will cash in their options by the dozens and move on. If you IPO at peak, this effect is multiplied. If you IPO way before that peak

To add some context: The food market in Germany is very competitive. I doubt there are any margin or a need for Groupons of any kind. The US is not even close to what is going on in Germany. I compare the situation with gasoline, it's just
