It's interesting to compare to the proportion of women in or entering other "traditionally male" fields that are often seen as having a "boys club" atmosphere: - ~21% of practicing software engineers and ~21% of CS degree recipients are wom

There's a QuickTime plugin, but it's also a set of multimedia APIs, and Safari uses those directly to implement HTML5 video. It works pretty well - one of the nicest-looking and most CPU-efficient video experiences you can get in a browser.

If you lose signal, does it actually matter if it's caused by bridging two antennas, or by shielding, or capacitive coupling, or whatever phenomena cause other phones to degrade in signal quality when held? It seems like what really matters

I would call that screenshot "tacky" rather than "beautiful". It's a jumble of mismatched UI elements.

There are three co-chairs currently, who are employed by Apple, IBM and Microsoft respectively. Paul Cotton, the Chair who is employed by Microsoft, has lots of standards experience, including as a former chair of the XML Query group. He's

The post you cite was sent on behalf of the three W3C HTML Working Group Chairs. While I, the person who happened to send it through my email client, happen to work for Apple, that does not make it the official opinion of Apple in any way.

You're probably not going to get on the good side of anyone at Apple if you start Cc-ing Steve on your communication with them.

Does Chrome really render Web pages from bottom to top, as appears to happen on allrecipes.com? Or was that just done for dramatic effect?

Objective-C supports garbage collection (optionally).

I wonder if anyone still thinks killing Mac clones was the wrong move.

It looks like this poster does not know the difference between Christopher "Monty" Montgomery (aka xiphmont) and Gregory Maxwell. While Gregory is a prominent Ogg developer, Monty is the one who designed the Ogg container and the Vorbis aud

Memory use is one of the things we're going to watch out for as we make progress on the new model.

WebKit actually has multiple different API layers. There is the Cocoa API used by Safari on Mac, a Gtk API, a Qt API, and a special API just for Chrome. WebKit2 is really a peer to all these APIs, although we also hope it can be a tool for

WebKit is also used in lots of other applications that are not browsers, but may be getting untrusted content from the network, or that may be rendering complex content but need total responsiveness. For example, Mail, iChat, Adium, Colloqu

We're also not deleting any of the existing APIs - we expect there to be a gradual migration to the new model.

"singlehandedly" is giving us way too much credit, but we did help a lot with the design of the spec for the HTML5 video element, shipped the first implementation in any browser, and gave a lot of early feedback on the spec.

You have the gist of it, but the organization in question is the W3C, not the WHATWG (which is a separate organization also working on HTML5).

There is a big difference between "update" and "annotate". The former requires a multi-month review cycle with many opportunities for objection. The latter just happens (apparently). In addition, the way Tim phrased it implies that these it

Did you see the network pane in the blog post? It's better than what was in the beta.

If you read the article it should be clear we didn't code all that stuff in just two weeks. Or if we did then we are stupendous badasses. :-)

Well if you put any stock in microbenchmarks, try this DOM in your favorite browsers: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/perf/dom/artificial/core/001... Safari + ToT WebKit is way faster than the others.
