When was the last time you minimsed a window? I usually alt+tab when i want a window to gain focus. The only time when I ever use minimise is when I'm trying to share the screen between two windows or so, and even that is rather rare.
As for maximise, after using Windows/KDE for a while I just 'bump' it to the top. No biggy.
XML is strongly typed like that on purpose, since its used for MUCH MORE important stuff than just displaying websites (SOAP, interconnections between OO languages, Serilisation) - in that case, if there's a mistake in syntax, then it means that there's something wrong and you shouldn't be using it that way.
If we all switched to XML-based stuff for our websites, automated parsers would love it, but if you make a single mistake everything could break. In this case the robustness/laziness of HTML is far better than the strict syntax of XML.
I got an addon which spoofs the user-agent string and pretended I was viewing it on an iPhone, and guess what, it mostly worked. Some minor bugs but the ones I tried out on Firefox 4 pretty much worked. See, that's the open web in action.
However the one we're talking about is basically a safari advertisment, because lets face it, apple doesn't care about open standards. Apple cares about controlling everything itself - there are tons of proofs for this, I'm not going to bother listing all of them.
If that was the case, they wouldn't need to check the user-agent string and block it outright and would just let you try to load it ?
If you spoof the browser string it'll run. Almost all of it runs on Chrome (which uses webkit) I'm told, haven't tried it myself.
The invalid claim is simply that in order to support an open web, we've created these demos, but you can't see them unless you using this propriatry technology. And you have to use it because we make checks for it.
The ones which I saw/cleaned up myself didn't get additional malware, they just contented themselves with popping up ads and slowing the system down to a halt.
But yeah, if it gets more malware in - then its a trojan. Yeah the line is blurry.
A trojan opens backdoors in the system, so the controller can either hijack your computer or send more malware your end. If it doesn't do that, its not a trojan.
So a virus which pops up "VIRUSES DETECTED! BUY THIS PRODUCT" is malware but not a trojan.
Think about the Trojan horse in the greek myth, when it got in, it opened the gates for worse things to come.
Of course it will, but then how do you transfer one-time pads on the internet? We're back to the problems people had before asynchronous crypt was invented.
If you're not paying for build quality, what ARE you getting (hardware-wise) for the extra money
When you buy expensive brand clothing, you're not paying extra because its made from a rare blend of materials - you're paying for that extra brand which makes people recognise you as cool, modern, hip and rich.

Neither does IE6, so there's no real problem.
Isn't it obvious ?

That sounds like a terrorist name to me! And he's studying, clearly to make bombs! I bet he looks arab too!
I'm being sarcastic, but I don't think I'm too far off.

That they don't test their own websites to see whether it'll run on it? I would have hoped they'd start their bug hunting at home.

Oh really?

I get an error for all of them saying I need to download Safari to view them.
Was quite enjoying the experience, then it crashed my firefox 4. Go figure.

Makes you kinda wonder who "us" is in this context doesn't it?
The public of course.
The American public are the greatest threat to the rest of the US doing whatever the hell they want.
Apparently Cyber-criminals communicate like the rest of us normal people.
That was very amazing. I never realised. This article was as filled with as much insight as this post was filled with sarcasm.
I hate 'cyber' being used for everything. Cybervigilantes should be treated just the same as normal Vigilantes.
Just because they're not riding around with a colt full of silver bullets and instead are behind a computer screen doesn't make any difference.
Because normal books are ultra thin aren't they.
Very helpful, thanks.
Does it have a "Take image at amazingly tilted angle" feature?
"it might be best to take your device to your carrier and exchange it for a new one"
Why can't you just factory reset it?
So, do you want to use the bathroom or not? Take your time with this decision, we don't want you to take a rash decision on this one.

Sorry

Same thing.
