  1. Re:what does AIR/Silverlight offer that is new/bet on The Blurring Line Between PC and Web · · Score: 2, Informative

    AIR provides a graphics layer inside a web browser that is 2nd to none. Firefox 3 SVG is coming along, but it's not there yet. Check out what we were able to do with AIR & Webkit: http://about.stompernet.com/scrutinizer It's a simulation of human vision dropped on top of a browser. Wish we could have done it in FF3, but it's not quite up to the task yet.

  2. Understanding the visual field on Scientists Offer New Way to Read Online Text · · Score: 1

    I've got a video up on youtube that explains more about the visual field and now it interacts with web design and typography: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgRfE5B1Yc

  3. Re:Will it import my Mozilla Mail and settings? on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is possible to hack your profile directories and use your Mozilla Mail data. I just recreated the accounts and pointed Mozilla Mail to the t-bird profile folders in mail prefs. That way, I can use MozMail or T-bird -- primarily using T-bird when I'm hacking Mozilla and need to restart often.

    On other imports, I successfully imported 500mb of Outlook data with no problem. Easy to share the data between t-bird and mozmail too.

    As to the .1 issue, the core code here is based upon Mozilla 1.5-ish, so the datasource functions for mail are well tested, the UI not so much.
