So you rather sell your soul to Apple instead of paying 5$ to Microsoft?
Remember, we're talking about Apple, the one that sues everyone else because they invented the rectangle with rounded corners, the one that only allows you to install the apps that it has approved, the one that thinks that you don't need to be able to replace your battery and it's better if each new design uses a different set of screwdrivers that no one else uses so you don't mess with the internals.
Opera is also releasing new versions very fast. The only difference is that they keep using the. 5 versions although they add lots of changes in each release
So you have a permanent IP assigned to you, and you want that the advertisers always know and keep track (no matter if you clear cookies, or if you enter Private browsing) that it's you the one visiting some pages?
Well, that might work for you, but the rest of the world doesn't have such luxuries and the IP is temporary so in order for them to keep such preferences, they must store the preferences in your computer.
So you are saying that they stood with IE6 because IE7 and IE8 didn't provide the same "enterprise controls" or was just that their sites where such a crap that not even IE7 could render it properly?
If apple wanted to help third party developers, then it wouldn't have signed a deal with Lloyds or would have made sure that every ios app was covered with that license failing to do so just meant that they don't care about the developers
But you can bet that by selling 24-bit MP3's they'll be able to push out a lot of new iPods because the older ones aren't designed to support this "extra-high" quality files.
After the application is installed you can see a new entry in the notification bar, so if you didn't ask to install it you will notice right away that something is wrong.
If you tried to use <video> with h.264 then you were serving only Safari and Chrome users. IE, Opera and Firefox doesn't support that tag or that codec. IE9 will support with h.264 but no one knows when it will be released and anyway, it will work only for Vista and 7 users. Opera and Firefox 4 don't support the h.264 codec, they support VP8 and WebM instead, so having Chrome aligned with them means that over 50% of the internet can use <video> with WebM and only the small percentage of Safari users are the ones that can decode with h.264
I think that one of the features of Silverlight was that it was possible to write a codec in c# and it was fast enough to process video, so that could be an interesting task for someone with enough time: Testing what performs better, decoding vp8 in flash or silverlight, without native support in neither platform
Because last I've heard you can't get any of those phones for free unless you get into a 1 or 2 years contract, no matter if you pick Apple or Android.
And Google has its AdSense program, meanwhile Apple has the iAds.
Just the lack of support for window.onerror makes me think that they don't take web developers seriously. With Acid3 they rushed to make the changes so they claimed to pass it, but implementing correctly features that are used everyday?, no way man, that ain't cool
I don't think that I've ever seen a demo page done by Mozilla that forced the user to switch the browser. They just state what it's being demo, some of those demos don't even work in the last public release but only on nightlies, but they allow you to test it with whatever browser you are using and many times they provide a video to show how it should behave if your browser did support that API.
If you bother to follow the link and click on any of the demos, you'll see that it opens a page with a description, and when you click the "view demo" button, you get the SAME message stating that you need Safari to view some HTML5 demos.
You can install an app from any place without the need to break the warranty of your phone. Your paid apps are stored in your google account so if you wipe and reinstall everything they are still there. Non-paid apps can be easily back-up in the SD and move them to your computer if you please.
Yes, those poor telecoms that gives their users free access to the internet must be paid back by Google. How does Google dares to provide content and expect the charity telecoms to be the only ones that pay for those bills. I'm outraged.
Opera has released Dragonfly, their answer to Firebug
I propose a new betting pool: How long until an Opera fanatic claims Opera developed Dragonfly first, and Firebug is just a ripoff.
Actually before Dragonfly opera had a different set of developer tools, called Developer Console
Opera Developer Console
Opera now includes a developer console that can be added into the browser with many new features. The developer console includes new tools including DOM inspector, JavaScript inspector, CSS editor and HTTP header inspector.
Which were released 15 Nov, 2006, and on my research that is a year or so before firefox.
That's not a comparison for Firebug, it's their version of the Web Developer extension. Also, that's not a "year or so" before Firebug: oldest post in Firebug group is 18th Nov, 2006
Slashdot Mirror
And Google updater...

According to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/13/welcome-to-windows-8-the-developer-preview.aspx you can keep on coding in c+ + or c#
They might show more things this week
UNCOmmented, no one else has replied anything on that bug, so the reporter might feel that no one cares about it.

Google said that they are dropping it.
If you want to blame someone for not being updated, blame Google

A Nexus one will be quite cheaper

That's one of the features of IE9 javascript engine, it uses a second CPU core to compile the javascript
Getting access to the filesystem (in user space) in Android doesn't require root access, and being able to install any application is just a matter of ticking a checkbox.
Besides that you should read this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/its-not-rooting-its-openness.html
The user is notified.

Correction: some people hated and still hate it. For the rest is a godsend.

Can you explain to me which one is the free one?
Because last I've heard you can't get any of those phones for free unless you get into a 1 or 2 years contract, no matter if you pick Apple or Android.
And Google has its AdSense program, meanwhile Apple has the iAds.
So what are the differences?
Just the lack of support for window.onerror makes me think that they don't take web developers seriously.

Wrong, the pages at http://developer.apple.com/safaridemos/ also state that Safari is required.
The average user will think that this "HTML5 thing" is just something of Apple and not a real Standard.
Have you tested an Android phone?
You can install an app from any place without the need to break the warranty of your phone. Your paid apps are stored in your google account so if you wipe and reinstall everything they are still there. Non-paid apps can be easily back-up in the SD and move them to your computer if you please.

Wait a minute....
Then why my telecom is sending me a monthly fee?
