I don't know about Apple benchmarks but other Apple specs are pretty much spot on. For instance playing time claimed for iPods typically is spot on for regular users. Or even on the conservative side
Compare that with Sony's playing time, which typically are vastly exagerated. See PSP or Sony's "mp3" players.
To be honest, i didn't build my site around any particular browser [although i'm involved in the Mozilla project since 2000]. It's simply a personal homepage, with strict adherence to HTML and CSS specifications, see patrickhendriks.com. Nothing fancy, just an iframe with some images as border and a floating DIV.
Of the four major browser, Opera is the only that that splendidly fails to render this valid page:(
So in this case, Opera is the one breaking most.
FWIW: unfortunately using valid HTML isn't the answer to all problems either. I've played around with this quite a bit, and triggering a "quirks" rendering mode gives a completely different rendering for nearly the same page, both of them valid HTML.:(
A story with a typo? Include the URL. Don't say "The article about Novell" because there might be 3 in the last 2 days.
Yeah, I fully agree with you on that: a person has to point out if it occurs in the original story or in one of the dupes.

Jokes about CmdrTaco...there goes my karma!
I installed Opera many years ago. The interface was crowded & clumsy, and i got lost trying to set the right preferences, due to the way Opera lets you totally micromanage every detail.
Fastforward 8 or so years: i installed the latest release from Opera and went to my homepage. Page is fully valid HTML & CSS. On Opera, the page looks crap [gaps between images and iframe] and one DIV simply isn't even shown at all.
On firefox [and Safari and IE] it works as intended.
I'm sorry, but that was again the end of Opera for me for a while.
Sorry, I misread your post "...in Europe. That is 30 euros, mister! And for the Americans: that is 35 US dollar"
I read it as "for europeans it's 30 euros and for americans it costs 35 dollars"
Some other posts suggest it may be tax differences causing this, but living in California some years ago, tax was 8.25%, in NL it was 19% [and in Norway it "adds" 25% "to my value";)]. So tax difference can't be the cause for this. And given the mere price difference between Europe and the US it looks like MS hasn't learned after all.
I wasn't really tempted by the Xbox 360 anyway as a replacement for my original Xbox from a techical/gaming point of view. But getting squeezed to the last bit by Microsoft settles it.
No Xbox 360 for me.
Hmm....all that cash left to spend on something nice for myself:)
well at least this time Microsoft managed to convert currencies correctly. I guess they've stopped using Excel?;)
While Xbox 1 sold in the US for USD 299, in europe it went initially for EUR 480. A big big blunder and MS already had to slash its prices by 1/3 a mere six weeks after the launch and instate a bonus program for those silly fools that paid EUR 480 [including myself]
BTW: if you look at Macromedia's Dreamweaver: an upgrade download in the US will cost you USD 199. The same package in Europe will cost you EUR 235.....[purely based on exchange rates it should've been only EUR 167. A 40% increase in price for Europeans!!]

Of course you can.
Suppose you're on windows. Run your firefox.exe from the command line with argument -p.
The profile manager comes up, which allows you to manage you profiles. Create a new one, and assign it a directory. If you want you can for instance use copy your existing bookmarks and user.js from one profile to the other to jump start the new profile a bit better.
You can then execute firefox 1.0.7
by running that executable with the argument
"-p whateveryourprofilenameONEis"
and Deer Park by running that executable with argument
"-p whateveryourprofilenameTWOis"
Make appropriate shortcuts for easy access.
The branch builds are frozen for features and getting more stable by the day. However if this is not your style you'll have to hang in for a bit longer until the official FF 1.5 is released.
But either way you'll have drag&drop reordering of tabs in Firefox before you'll see a PS3;)
The David Hyatt story was just an example of course. For instance, IE's lack[ing] CSS1&2 support is well known.
Point being: the aforementioned in combination with other rendering quirks LIMIT the number of standards that you can apply with cross-browser compatibility.
See again my comment about different rendering modes in Mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/q uirklist.html tells that you can get wildly different results for instance when it comes to tables by changing the rendering mode in Mozilla by changing the header, all the time remaining W3C compliant. This is up to the point that width/heights are reduced to nearly nothing.
So W3C compliant coding by itself isn't enough to get browser independent results. Taking all into consideration, as it is now, only a subset of the W3C/ECMA etc. recommendations is truly browser-independent.
Because in IE, you have to use document.all and in Netscape (firefox), you have to use document.layers
Incorrect. Use the W3C standard here: document.GetElementByID
That is supported by ALL browsers since the stone age [1998]. The document.all is to make it work with IE4 specifically [market share 1%], and only implemented in more recent IE's for backwards compatibility. And document.layer is for Netscape 4 only. More recent Netscapes [6 and up] are build on "Mozilla Technology" and don't support.layer anymore, but instead use.GetElementByID
Except that if you code to W3C standards it will work in IE and Firefox and a whole lot more besides, so how does it cost more money?
Unfortunately that's not true. Because the browsers themselves render pages differently, even if the pages are W3C/ECMA etc. standards-compliant.
Just compare a W3C compliant page in IE 5, IE5 for Mac, IE 5.5 and IE6. I don't have the link handy, but i think David Hyatt had a nice write-up of IE's rendering, with elements jumping around.
So to make things work as intended in eg. IE you sometimes have to DEVIATE from standards.
Another example, my site renders completely different in Firefox if i change the document header, that is, triggering going from Strict to Quirks mode in Gecko. The page is still W3C compliant but the rendering is COMPLETELY different.
With current browsers as they are, W3C adherence is not a recipe for cross-browser compatibility.
Simalarly, drivers for their connectivity cables are Windows only:(
Can't sync my current Nokia phone on my Powerbook. The same goes for the next Nokia model i was eyeing. In fact, for that very reason I haven't bought it yet. Sorry Nokia.

Even more so, why would Google want to buy Opera, when they're actively hiring people to work on Firefox for them?

But unlike the PS3 or Xbox 3...60 you can already get your hands on this feature.
Mozilla.org is currently prepping the next full release of Firefox, the one that includes this feature and test versions can be downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/ni
The branch builds are frozen for features and getting more stable by the day. However if this is not your style you'll have to hang in for a bit longer until the official FF 1.5 is released.
But either way you'll have drag&drop reordering of tabs in Firefox before you'll see a PS3
Unless i understand your comment wrong, the answer to that will be "yes".
This has been a feature of the development builds of Firefox for quite a while by now (June 2005). See bugzilla bug number 179656.
The David Hyatt story was just an example of course. For instance, IE's lack[ing] CSS1&2 support is well known.
q uirklist.html tells that you can get wildly different results for instance when it comes to tables by changing the rendering mode in Mozilla by changing the header, all the time remaining W3C compliant. This is up to the point that width/heights are reduced to nearly nothing.

Of course the fake address bar clashes with non-ie browsers, both in my Safari and Firefox it was completely clear that it was a scam.
Especially forcing new windows to open in Tabs really exposed this scam nicely, as the regular address bar remained visible.
I know, the one i'm eyeing is not listed: 5410[i].
For what it's worth the "standard" company phone around here is the 6230[i], which is not supported either.
Sure, that's nice and all. But in the mean time, Nokia only provides its software for MS Windows http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,72014,00.html

Simalarly, drivers for their connectivity cables are Windows only
Can't sync my current Nokia phone on my Powerbook. The same goes for the next Nokia model i was eyeing. In fact, for that very reason I haven't bought it yet. Sorry Nokia.
Actually, firefox DOES have a built-in adblocker. Right click an image and choose:
:(
:)
"block images from "
It just doesn't work on Flash objects though
By the way, i didn't know you could add typeahead find for Safari. How do i go about that? Thanks
Safari as shipped with OS X itself doesn't pass the acid test. The patches Hyatt presented are not rolled out by Apple.
Moreover, i still have some sites that work for Gecko browsers and IE, but not Safari [for example minesider.sense.no lets you send SMS online, but in Safari it reloads the page rather than selecting the telephone number clicked].
