Provavelmente por sentir-se ameaçada pelo Chrome, a Microsoft pode tentar levar o Google à Justiça, acusando-o de monopólio. Segundo fontes internas a empresa está observando o desenvolvimento do navegador e procurando alguma "brecha" que possa permitir que tal medida seja tomada. Para evitar isso,o Google está tomando todas as precauções necessárias, como permitir, na instalação do navegador, por exemplo, que o usuário defina qual mecanismo de busca padrão utilizar - o Live Search, da Microsoft, ...

O que todo mundo esperava não aconteceu. Como assim? Quem acreditava que a Microsoft iria responder aos ataques da Apple com muita tiração de sarro, ataques pessoais, baixaria, iPhones com problemas; acabou surpreso com o comercial "milionário" e simples feito pela empresa de softwre. Acredite, a Microsoft está desembolsando US$300 milhões de doláres para criar uma nova imagem para a companhia através do comediante Jerry Seinfeld e Bill Gates, ex-presidente da Microsoft. O resultado deste ...

The latest Firefox 3.1 (code name Shiretoko) nightlies include support for the W3C draft specification of Geolocation API, opening the way for yet richer web applications that can offer content customized to a user’s current location. The API implementation enables the browser to act as a position broker communicating with the computer’s positioning API (probably connected to a GPS device or similar), and providing programmable objects web developers can access to retrieve this information.

Marty Friedman was the lead guitarist for Megadeth, but after he left the band in 1999, he moved to Japan and is now a TV celebrity/musician there. Who knew? Apparently, he now lives in Shinjuku and guest stars as the guitarist for lots of Japanese bands. He was a regular on a TV show called Hebimeta-san (Mr. Heavy Metal), and gives YouTube guitar lessons. Pretty random! Marty Friedman's web site (Thanks, Mary!)

Why do people still use IE6? This is a browser that's been released in August 2001 — that's over 7 years ago. It's old, it's got hundreds of compatibility issues, it's not particularly secure and neither does it have many features we come to rely on today in modern browsers. It doesn't even have tabs. But statistics show, that a sizable chunk of the internet is still surfing on IE6. There are a few reasons ...

A notícia é antiquíssima. Já tem dois dias. O Google lançou um navegador - o Chrome - gerando um buzz do tamanho que só o Google é capaz. O diferencial do Chrome é ter sido construído praticamente do zero, sendo o primeiro browser desenvolvimento especificamente para ser a melhor plataforma para rodar as aplicações web que estão cada vez mais presentes no nosso dia-a-dia. Instalei o navegador um dia após o lançamento. Fiquei muito impressionado ...

The Foxkeh team let us down for a few days without a Foxkeh desktop wallpaper this September, but they have made it up with an updated Foxkeh theme compatible with Firefox 3. You navigate, Foxkeh runs. What else could I possibly say? So, without further ado, here’s the theme: Here’s the September wallpaper featuring Foxkeh doing baby-style skating, as usual, in a variety of sizes, with and without a September calendar. Thanks Foxkeh team. We ...

There's a very quick usability trick you can do with the links on your site to make them easier to use. It's something that I don't see talked about very much, and a lot of sites don't implement it. Link padding and blocks — that is, increasing the clickable area of your links to make them easier to click on. Ryan Singer from 37signals has written a very nice article about padding links a while ...

The guy who designed this eraser is a genius! We all know that it's more fun and effective to use the corners, but most simple rectangular erasers only have four at best, and even less once they're used. Well, this plastic eraser, aptly named kadokeshi (corner eraser), has 28 edges! It's distributed by classic stationary maker Kokuyo, and won a Good Design Award in 2003. Product page (Japanese)

Cell phone carrier au teamed up with Yamaha this summer to create a bunch of really neat, mostly music-based concept handsets, as seen here. Think about how awesome it will be to be able to play an instrument on your cell phone. This is very exciting for me, since I am a huge fan of my portable ukulele and Guitar Hero on Nintendo DS. I'll give a quick explanation of each. Clockwise, from top left: ...

Gymnastics is one of my favorite events to watch at the Olympics. As expected, China won the gold. Japan took the silver medal, and the US ended up with bronze. No major surprises there. But as I watched the medals being announced on TV with a bunch of friends in Hawaii, one of them said: Wow. The Japanese really don't know how to be happy, huh? While the American and Chinese athletes hugged their coaches ...
