"ground up rewrites with new UIs and so on" See, that's where I disagree: a ground up rewrite with a new user interface gets the web precisely nowhere, particularly after years without a release. Chrome 7 was a significant release. Hund

These really do reflect the most significant releases of each browser, regardless of arbitrary major/minor/micro version number changes... Firefox 3.6 was as major a release in that universe as Chrome 8 was in theirs. Check the Wikipedia pa

I think that might be true in cases where you're not building on such a widely distributed and incredibly backwards-compatible / gracefully-degrading platform such as the web.

Each set of browser icons are at the same vertical height. If it gets more complicated, I might move things around a bit.

No, the icons just indicate releases. They're at different vertical levels so they don't obscure each other. :-) I decided to start in 2006 to catch Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7, otherwise you don't fully see the gaping hole which repr

I don't think he's talking about Bada (certainly not current Bada... though what he's doing might relate to future-Bada).

There is one area in which Samsung is lacking: software. Unlike Apple or RIM, they are entirely dependent on Android. [...] That, however, could change completely if Samsung dominates the Android market like I think it will. Want to be ev

I'm building a streaming HTML5 Twitter client called Denby: http://www.hellodenby.com/ (Although the hosted version is currently in closed alpha, you can check out progress on GitHub.) If you want something more Tweetie than TweetDeck, ch

Bringing up new hardware is a bit harder than that -- take a look at the most open example we have of doing so, the OLPC. 100% open hardware which they designed, but building the tools and bringing it up were still a lot of work. Credit whe

You can go down the "nothing in code" route with GTK+ as well, using Glade to generate UI description files. :-)

Bundling (and the like) is a necessary evil of ecosystems riding hard on the bleeding edge, like node.js... ... and I would say Ruby/Rails, but they ought to be growing up by now, and integrating sensibly with platform package management. :

Fantastic. Much as I enjoyed Burn All GIFs back in the day, I don't think Burn All H.264s sounds nearly as catchy or fun. Glad Google is doing the Right Thing on this front -- however convenient or entrenched they might be, hairy patented m
