  • A world without the browser
  • July 31, 2009 – I respectfully disagree.
    I think the apps will be swallowed by the browser.
    Ot at least the line will get thinner, in the opposite direction than the author suggests.

    Sounds like one of those article to keep in the drawer and compare with reality in 3 to 5 years.
    I don’t care if this guy’s really into this market. I think he’s plain wrong. Or really uncapable of making his point.

  • Changes in Apple attitudes force changes in Google Latitude
  • July 28, 2009 – This and the recent AT&T-Apple ban on Google Voice are making me VERY doubtful about my plans of getting an iPhone.
    I’m waiting for a decent contract for an Android phone.
    Ok maybe I’m a Google fanboy, but Apple is behaving in ways that, if it’d be Microsoft, everybody would be screaming about. That’s not how you “think different”, Stewie.

  • Is Cursive Handwriting Dead? [Ask The Readers]
  • July 27, 2009 – Last year I had to take the TOEFL test. Before the test they ask you to copy a long statement where you promise you won’t reveal the content of the test (very American, I must say).
    Well, they ask to “write, do not PRINT”.
    Now, I don’t know what they mean with “print”, if is actual printing or writing in PRINT. But the test administrator had me rewrite my statement because it was WRITTEN LIKE THIS. It took me like 10 minutes to write 10 lines in cursive. I’m INCAPABLE of doing so. And now I know why they call it CURSE-ive. Damn!!
    I do sign in cursive, but it’s more like repeating a drawing for me…

  • Mozilla Releases Initial Design Mockups for Firefox 3.7 [Firefox]
  • July 21, 2009 – I don’t get it. Chrome/Chromium is blazingly fast, it runs so many circles around Firefox that convinced me to forgo all my extension to tap into that freshy fastness…and what is Mozilla working on for the next release? Yet another UI change.

    How about ditching 3.7 and see if 4.0, rewritten from scratch and – why not – with webkit does the magic?
    Firefox is great, it’s been my loyal browser for 9 years, since it was called “Firebird” (or was it something else before that? Phoenix? That.). But you can’t just sit and thrive on your hard gained 25% mkt share. Now, more then ever, the web is changing. Evolve or die.

    (written in Chromium for Linux. Yes, it doesn’t support Flash yet. Who frigging cares?)

  • Come la tv odia internet: in Usa e in Italia
  • July 18, 2009 – Aggiungerei questa bellissima maniera di parlare delle cose, professando la propria totale ignoranza e incapacità di comprendere, ma giudicando negativamente a prescindere.
    Ma come si fa a vedere certe cosa?
    Prostituzione è la parola piu’ frequente dopo “blog” in questo video!
