You need a citation!? I thought it was just obvious to everyone here. Anyways, here's a citation. Try viewing this in IE8 and you tell me how much you believe that they're better at web standards than the competition: http://acid3.acidtests.org/
I use XCode, combined with Textmate (commercial), but XCode alone is pretty good, and I actually like it.
Nothing better for coding for your phone and desktop in the same IDE.
I agree.. Xcode is probably by far the best IDE in terms of speed and ease-of-use that i've ever worked with
The summary explicitly states that "the idea to harness a secondary radio channel that already existed" was the means for transmitting and receiving SMS text messages, which is EXACTLY the reason why charging ANY AMOUNT (per month, per message, etc.) is total B.S.!! The communication channel that the messages are sent over are something that would exist whether or not there were SMS text messages in use today!! It costs the service providers ZERO in terms of quantity and there is no guarantee of quality or that the message will even be received on time so, what it comes down to is, how unbelievably wrong it is for them to charge for the service.
Coming from a relatively small town/city, I used to LOVE Circuit City as it was pretty much THE only outlet in which I could go to check out the latest electronics. However, in the past year (or maybe longer), I have had the absolute WORST customer experiences in dealing with this store. About a year ago, I was looking to upgrade my living room television with a new Samsung Series 6 HDTV. So there I am, standing in a desolate Circuit City store on a Friday evening around 7:00 after receiving my tax refund and I'm ready to drop over two grand in an instant. HELLO!?!?.. (echo.. echo..) I stood there in the TV section of the store for about 20 minutes and even went looking for someone to come assist me. NOTHING. All I could find were two kids (employees) in their early twenties, who both looked like they could give a flying fuck about making a commission, just standing around bullshitting. I go over to them and it was like I didn't exist, they just kept on talking. Finally, the one kid looks up and says, "Can I help you?" And I said, "Yes, I would like to buy a Samsung Series 6." So we walk over to his station and he finds that they do in fact have one in stock and I ask if they accept checks (even though I didn't think they would) and he said that they didn't and it had to be purchased on a card. So I said, "OK, fine. I have my bank card and there is more than enough money in the account to purchase the TV in full." He runs my card through and receives an error stating that he could not run a sum of money that large on a bank card. The banks were closed at this point so I could not withdraw cash. Instead of speaking with a manager he simply directed me over to the customer service desk where he told me that I could apply for a Circuit City credit card. I go over to customer service, explain what just happened to the woman there and showed her the television that I wanted to purchase. She makes me fill out all of these forms and then after another half-hour of waiting she says to me, "Great news! You have been approved for a $1,500 credit limit!" I said to her, "OK, but that is only about HALF of the cost of the television." She proceeds to tell me that there's nothing more that she can do for me. I go back over to the kid who I spoke to earlier, who looked like he couldn't wait to get out of there and hit the clubs, and he tells me that he can't do anything more to help me either and that I should wait until the bank opens tomorrow to get cash to pay for it. At this point, I'm furious. Here I am, ready to drop a large sum of money and I can't get help from anyone in the entire store to help me spend it. I ended up going to Sears the following day where the gentleman there was more than helpful in assisting me with my purchase and even looked up competitors' prices on the Internet for me to get an even better deal.
Actually, in general, all of my retail experiences as of late have been absolutely terrible. A few weeks ago I went in to my local Radio Shack to purchase a serial port connector for a project I was working on and when I asked the kid working there if they had them he said to me in these exact words, "Dude, you're like speaking German to me or something. I don't know anything about computers. Let me ask if someone else can help you." Then he walked in to the back and never came back to tell me if he found anyone that could help me.
Is it me, or has customer service reached an all-time low here in America??
that's why I said that you should check EITHER Safari OR Chrome.. they both have the same rendering engine (WebKit) with different JavaScript/ECMAScript engines (JavaScriptCore and V8).. if you are doing alot of AJAX/JavaScript work you should check your code in BOTH browsers
since you are a web developer you SHOULD be testing your code on at the very minimum IE, Firefox, and WebKit.. Google Chrome is based on the WebKit engine but so is Safari, so as long as you are testing on either Chrome or Safari, then you would be ok.. WebKit is currently the most standards-compliant rendering engine out there so you most definately should be aiming to write code that works properly on it

There's another one called Amplify'd that is much cheaper and even includes Bluetooth support for a wireless headset. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amplifyd/id331380736?mt=8
If that country won't take responsibility for the poisons they export to us, why are we dealing with them?
Who else would supply Wal-Mart with all their crap?
What, the web server with virtually no security vulnerabilities in the last 4 years in the two most recent iterations?
Yeah, demon forbid that get installed.
The last time I checked, IIS 6.0 is considered "in the two most recent iterations".. From earlier this month: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4170
Quicktime is the exact reason why I run iTunes in its own Virtual Machine.
MSIE is the exact reason why I run Windows in its own Virtual Machine.
At least it wasn't IIS.
