I currently disable DNS prefetching and "using web services to improve my browsing experience". This is yet another feature that will go on my black list. First and foremost, I think they are solving a problem nobody has, potentially for "m

Think about it as a flying motorcycle. It trades safety for more mobility and lots of fun.

You could put the "new" mode of operation directly against the "traditional" one only if you were proposing an actually new paradigm (like the point-and-click interface). And even then you would still want to allow a way to fall back to wha

Funny enough, on a Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M laptop I get the same thing in Chrome -- but it works in Firefox 4 (when it doesn't crash the whole browser).

I don't think that having to bump your screen resolution to get a website/video working is anywhere close to reasonable. The point was to replace Flash for web multimedia because it was too resource intensive and unstable. What we see now

From an end user's perspective, this demo is a monstrosity (like pretty much all WebGL stuff I've ran across so far). I opened the link in a background tab, then my system started thrashing and Firefox got stuck. Restarted Firefox only to h

Since this works only on such a small subset of runtimes (it only manages to slow down my Android browser), you might as well write in ActiveX and slap a HTML5 doctype to it. Kudos on the hackery, don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking devi

If only it were that easy.. For the record, the default Android browser seems to (still) have an issue with the 'overflow' CSS property, causing overflow:auto and overflow:scroll to show up as overflow:hidden. http://code.google.com/p/andr

Well, to make the license question easier, their invite request form is utterly unusable on Android. I apparently need to 'scroll to the bottom' to submit to a dubiously enforceable license before even being allowed to see their beta, excit

I think the key phrase here is 'usability for bots'. If you recognize bots as an important customer (after all, they bring over most of your new traffic), then it makes sense to optimize things for them to find. That said, somewhere in betw
