SeaMonkey 1.0 Released

Posted by Zonk on from the enjoy-your-aquatic-simians dept.

johkir writes "SeaMonkey has been released. Mozilla.org's open source internet suite features a state-of-the-art web browser and powerful email client, as well as a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat client. For web developers, mozilla.org's DOM inspector and JavaScript debugger tools are included as well. It also has a few nifty features, of particular interest: drag&drop reordering of tabs, support for a common inbox for multiple email accounts, SVG, , and phishing detection."

    SeaMonkey? I bet this thing dies in a matter of days.

      Yea, and I bet it looks nothing like the screen shots that they had in the back of the comic book either.

    Autoscroll! HOORAY!

    canvas tags! Boooo!

    Drag and drop tabs! Eh.

    Also, "Attempting to compose, forward, or reply to a message may result in a non-functional compose window." Sounds handy.

    Really, I've just been waiting for autoscroll.

    It's a cheap packet of cryptobiotic shrimp you can order off the back of any comic book. By the way, they never look as friendly or as big as the pictures. :(

      Those are brine shrimp you are thinking of... my fish love 'em as treats, and when they are babies and still have their yolk sack they are very nutritious for raising fry...

  4. Seamonkeys.... by revery · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have been a bit leery of anything called "Seamonkeys" ever since I ordered a kit off of the back of my Amazing Spider-Man comic book many years ago. I was quite disappointed when it arrived and the creatures that hatched in my goldfish bowl were not the family of happy trident-bearing mer-creatures pictured in the ad, but a bunch of freaking shrimp.
    So go ahead Mozilla, and sell the world on your little state-of-the-art web browser and powerful email client, as well as a WYSIWYG web page composer and a feature-rich IRC chat client. I'm not gonna be sucked in to your little scheme. In the words of our great President Bush, "Fool me once, shame on... you.... The Fooled man can't be fooled again"

      "There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on... shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

      Sheesh... I mean if even the president can get it right you should at least put some effort into quoting him correctly.

    What exactly is SeaMonkey?

    Is it chicken or is it monkey?

    Here is the exciting new logo for this suite. Oddly, it looks nothing like a real sea monkey.

    Personally, I think it's a cross between a blue bird and a scorpion stinger.

    In case you missed it, let me clue you in. Suites are dead. People want lean applications with user-selected add-ons. Funky cutesy names are out...they lingered on a bit after the dot com bust (along with e- and i- names) but descriptive branding is the order of the day. "Microsoft Office" "Mozilla Internet Suite" "Apple Music Player". Oops...Jobs is going to kill me for leaking the last one...

    That's right! My grandmother demands that the DOM inspector be installed by default, because she is incapable of installing it herself.
