I’m looking forward to the rollout of CSS 3D to modern desktop web browsers (and, hopefully, mobile web browsers).
This demo (clearly inspired by Cooliris) shows an interactive HTML document being manipulated in 3D.
Simon Fraser has a detailed explanation of CSS 3D’s capabilities.
And here is a video showing off CSS 3D Rotation.
Very cool stuff!
Just noticed this trick by accident!
Safari on the iPhone normally limits you to 8 windows. This limit is not enforced if you open a url from another app when Safari is not running in the background.
Steps:
1. Open 8 windows.
2. Hold the square button until Safari disappears (10 seconds). This shuts down the Safari process.
3. Go to Weather and press the Y! icon in the lower left. This will open a new Safari window even if you are over the limit.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as you like to create more windows.
Stuck it on Digg.
The Nokia n800:
Opera Version “8.5 Internal” Build “2.0.31″
The flash version tester says 7.0.0.
The Nokia 770:
Opera Version “8.02 Internal” Build “1.1.50″
The flash version tester says 6.0.82.
The opera.ini file is largely the same between the two versions, however the n800’s cache settings are much higher.
NOTES:
The opera.ini file on my Nokia 770.
The .opera file on someone’s Sony Mylo.
Descriptions for ini sections for the desktop version of Opera are here.
It seems that Google Reader recently changed their UI to show the number of unread items in a feed when you mouse over it in the feed list. That’s great news! Now I can uninstall the greasemonkey script I wrote to fix this myself. Basically, the problem was that if the title of the feed was too long, the unread number would get pushed out of the feed list pane.
Looks great! I upgraded the version on my phone and it kept my bookmarks (whew!). There doesn’t seem to be a way to import your feeds from an opml file, so that’s a bummer. More details from Arve.
My browser order from Play-Asia arrived today.
The video reviews from Joshua Zimmerman are accurate. I don’t have much to add, so watch his videos for a more complete look. Here are my thoughts:
Pros:
Non-Issues:
Cons:
This is fantastic news! Finally the browsers on my home desktop, my work notebook and my eo UMPC can all share the same bookmarks, history, cookies and (gulp) saved passwords, synchronized in REAL TIME! AND this extension will make dual booting a lot less stressful. Download here.
As a bonus nice touch, when you switch to another machine and boot Firefox, the extension gives you a dialog asking which tabs you’d like to open – tabs from your last session on the previous machine.
I can’t wait to read all the nay sayers: “this feature should have been available from the start” and “Google definitely knows too much about me NOW”.
For a Firefox power user like me, this is HUGE news!
After some quick tests, it looks like it works like a charm!
This is huge news! I saw all the links marked “Web Browser for the DS”, but I didn’t notice that Opera is building it! YES! LionMarine suggests that it might also require a gba cartridge for a RAM upgrade.
I’ve been using Opera Mini for a while now on my Razr v3 and the clock at the bottom has been a real life saver. Sansblog agrees.
