  1. Re:No Standards? on 123456789 Happens Today · · Score: 0

    I've noticed U.S. bloggers, web pages etc. lately moving to the form "07.08.09" instead of "07/08/09", when actually referring to the latter.

    Is there a trend to use the dot now instead of the slash - a typographical fad, maybe?

    "Oh yes, let's make things even more confusing!"

  2. Humor still in advertising on Why Video Games Are Having a Harder Time With Humor · · Score: 0

    The recent Coding Horror post demonstrates that games are still a laughing matter.

  3. Cracked, maybe? on iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked · · Score: 0

    Nitpicking, yes, but since "hacking" is quite confusing (for purists, misleading?) the title could have been "jailbreaked" or some other indicating it's been "cracked".

    Yes, generally the context reveals the true meaning, but still.

  4. Re:Perpetual beta? on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 1

    I admit, not a great choice in my subject wording.

    If Safari works without crashing, you belong in a minority. With English regional settings it might run ok, but for the rest of the world it's just horrible.

    Try changing your regional settings (for example to Finnish), and you'll also enjoy the "stability" of this pre-Alpha.

  6. Perpetual beta? on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 0

    Safari test engineers don't seem to use real PC keyboards. They must be testing this only with Mac's running Parallels or something..

    The previous version threw a Watson after typing four chars into a form. This "fixed" version comes with 400% quality degradation for us keyboard-oriented:

    Keep up the good work, Cupertino!

  7. Re:Maybe that's because... on Apple Safari On Windows Broken On First Day · · Score: 1

    Don't know about Shakespare.

    Typing simply "test" on Apple's new home took Safari down crashing:

    But as already stated: nothing special, no hacking, no Major Security Incidence here.

    It's a beta.
    Let's just call them bugs.
