The coded i develop is first certified with W3C and then tested for satisfaction within Mozilla because 9.9/10 times I know I don't have to tweak anything for it to be viewed in IE at that point but not the other way around.
Regarding Opera, its definitely 3rd in compliance with W3C standards and explains the arrogant tart comment about not worrying about standards but targeting an approach to hack what IE hacks.
Having worked for both NeXT and Apple and also having prior to joining either company and selling Macs to PCs running System 7.x to Winnt 3.51 either you have a serious case of the whines or have been stuck in an inefficient user interface design.
If you have serious experience with NeXTSTEP/Openstep you would laugh at your own comments regarding UI Design.
The Single User designed environment of MacOS of old is just that, a Single User environment designed well for its time but its time was passed up long ago.
The Multiple User designed environment of NeXTStep is still superior to MacOS X but thanks to the world of compromise we only slowly get a blend of both worlds.
The one aspect that the new "Finder" should incorporate is the Workspace Manager Shelf which you would find exceedingly useful. There should be an option to toggle between such available/non-available functionality, I agree, but that will take time.
I have to give kudos to John Hart. He and a fellow graphics associate, Pat Flynn, taught practically the only interesting CS Courseware at Washington State University and that department is suffering infinitely so for not listening to the needs of leading edge researchers.
Way to go John!
Just a former undergraduate student who left to no fault of your own to go work at NeXT then later Apple, saying congrats.
You work in the software industry and have entirely too many toys to effectively utilize their purposes. Instead of accepting and expounding upon your Love for such Industry you "begrungingly" meander to and fro complaining that you have been usurped by the Drugs of Technology.
Step outside your subjective point-of-view and be thankful you have options that are driven by quality and not greed.
The Internet was considered a toy between 1994 - 1997, amonst big business. When it really began to be harnessed as a tool for advertising and new ways to meet peoples present needs you were right along with the rest who were shocked and dismayed that everything was so readily available and quite often, "free."
One exception has been Pornography. The basic still shots are infinite and we all can acquire those without much effort.
However, the true meat of the sex industry surfaced with the advent of streaming sex videos and people have converted a several billion dollar business into a multi-billion dollar group of businesses with no stop in what the "chaste" call an addiction. Sex is symbolic of life and change. Those hangups tend to translate over into every other facet of our lives.
People say one thing and do another. Speech is twofold, Truth but One.
Your actions are your Truth and you love the time, creative energies, and forethought Apple puts into their products and services.
It is time that we repaid them for such and at the same time demand the most out of them by encouraging competition to challenge them, ensuring we the Consumers of Life can experience the most out of life.
You have all the toys and still complain your sandbox is not enough.
Be thankful you have a burgeoning sandbox and enjoy the fact you can be in the industry you so clearly love.
"Until a viably profitable way of restoring the nuclear waste to an inert state is actually being utilized we won't see Big Business eating into their profit margins just for the sake of maintain Green Quality of Control and Factors of Safety."
Chevron would rather dump waste from their refineries into the San Francisco Bay and eat the say $14 million fine by the EPA then to develop a recycling control system that we can build but would eat more heavily into their Stockholders Return On Investment.
There are about 64 million people who claim to be so and when you get right down to it there are still more jobs available than those 64 million folks can fill because its not true.
Mostly, the java folks know jackshit about XML and only what they learn from the JavaONE conferences and the XML gurus don't have the desire to learn Java.
Remember that the next time Microsoft purchases a Global Market Leader and buries the competition on its own platform, considering at 95% of the market share that GML doesn't even run a Mac version. Afterall its economically not beneficial to their bottom lines.
I expect the DoJ to monitor any and all activities that both Microsoft and Apple do. To think they do not is to be truly naiive.

It first was an NX to NS ala NeXTSTEP to Openstep
on
OmniWeb 4.1 Beta Available
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
The term Port is correct in the sense the original OmniWeb was a port of the old NXApp ->NSApp NeXTSTEP to Openstep API porting.
After Openstep 4.0 came out they still maintained the ability to run within NeXTSTEP 3.x for a long time. Then eventually when they redefined the Openstep APIs, at first, to a modified Yellow Box Foundation API they adapted but did not "port" it.
Finally, after Steve was offered the helm and the Foundation/AppKit APIs, etc morphed into Cocoa, the guys at OmniWeb adapted their NS class based code to be Cocoaified. They have always added their own Network Socket code and multithreaded the application helping discover many bugs that NeXT and Apple Engineering might never have discovered.
No I never worked for Omni, just NeXT and Apple.
Another Gentleman, and friend, who first ported and then rewrote his fleet of Apps, not because they needed to, but because with all the added support within Cocoa he didn't need to reinvent the wheel is Andrew Stone, of Stone Design.
Caffeine Software as well, but they both work in Apple Engineering with one doing a bang up job of co-developing Quartz with a few other fellows.
My site is fully XHTML 1.0 Transitionally compliant with CSS1 & 2 and what Mozilla does more often than not has really forced me to understand the Object Box Model for CSS and XHTML.
The only bug I cannot stand is that since [center] is deprecated in strict XHTML1.x and when I apply a text-align : center to any tag object it fails to work within the BODY tag giving me the equivalent of a Center Page view that scales up and down with the Window. I know you can use Javascript but that defeats the purpose of a basic centering tag for all the box Objects considering I have a fixed width on the DIVS so they are not pre-occupying 100% of the browser view.
Assuming one is within a Network running OS X as the installed OS and you are speaking with other OS X boxes and suddenly you have concerns for Meetings, why the hell would you want to integrate that crap within a Mail application? The purpose of Services is to write applications that do specific tasks well, without the added interdependency of other code you have to manage and reduces the risk of bugs.
At NeXT we had several Applications we leveraged through Services that were Networkwide, by design, and Calendaring was one of them. And the application put Exchange's Calendering to shame.
Someone should write a Cocoa calendering application and make such Services available to hook within to Mail.app and bingo your applications remain, lean and if you miss your meeting thats your damn fault. There is a market for it and there are Objective-C developers tenfold more talented than I to do the job well.
If anyone knows much about his original NeXTSTEP Programming Book for NS3.x which of course all the Class calls were NXPort instead of NSPort, for example, will find it amusing how he basically updated the original TELOS published book for Cocoa.
The Table of Contents is practically identical.
It reminds me of those Calculus books where you have to buy edition 7 for the class though edition 6 is the same minus new color coding, ease of understanding theorems crap, and a few typos, including incorrect answers!
Simson's a very sound author and his book NeXSTEP Programming is excellent but it never ceases to amaze me that people get repeated material published at updated prices without expounding upon prior work.
If O'Reilly would lower the price a bit I'm sure it will sell well, still far behind Hillegass's Cocoa Programming by Addison Wesley- someone whose knowledge of Cocoa/Objective-C/Eiffel, etc and architecturing real-world projects, while working at NeXT, both as a consultant and top trainer makes his work first on my list of buys.
Now if I could only afford his training I'm sure he'll have some of his famous brownies for all his guests.
It is not difficult to extrapolate the body being transformed by an chemical reaction between the arachnoid and a human being- assuming you even accept this premise to begin with- and a byproduct of such Holy Union being Organic Webbing.
I'm hoping the movie will be entertaining and have Raimi's trademark campiness to it.
And for all those who feel betrayed by this go get laid and enjoy the new reality you envision after losing your virginities.
Um.. Openstep is a Standards API. Try checking out GNUStep som time. And since I worked at NeXT and helped support Omniweb and a myriad of other apps you're damn right its a very cleanly written application.
Lighthouse Software that was swallowed up by SUN is a classic example of How NeXTSTEP/Openstep/Objective-C API's helped influence the direction of Java.
Carbon was written primarily by the ex-NeXT engineering folks to bridge the Gap and to pacify all the prior Mac Pundits that their legacy would not be forgotten- that takes about 2 seconds to figure out that it would have killed the company otherwise.
WebObjects 5.x is not Proprietary. Its pure Java. If you don't like that and do not have a clue about EOF and all the other Foundation API's re-written from Objective-C/Cocoa for Java than I suggest you read before you speak, next time.
All the "NEAT Anti-aliasing", etc crap Comes from WindowServer Code that was never released in Openstep and was being developed for Openstep 5.0 code name MECCA, that got scrapped when we at NeXT switched from Operating Systems to WebObjects based Web Solutions Company. You would know a bit more perhaps if you actually were around folks in the Community during all the negotiation times which Apple was floored by what we at NeXT demonstrated from software NeXT never released and which is being added to MacOS X.
Quartz is one example and its not where it should be but then again OS X has to swallow and deal with Carbon and the non-native Objective-C based Workspace Manager that everyone in the Apple World calls, "FINDER."
Just a few thoughts.
Oh and a final thought, if anyone knows their history they should notice that Omnigroup is not creating any NEW application Paradigms outside of OmniWeb, they just recreated almost All the Applications minus some very cool applications like, Concurrence, Quantrix, TaskMaster, VarioData, etc."

And if you have the fortune of running Openstep 4.2 on some older hardware those applications are quite useful.
