So I've just downloaded the Beta version and testing it out...so far it seems pretty good - they took all the best ideas from Firefox, except that the resolution is kind of lacking for some reason.
Anyone else tried it yet? |
Just tried it out.
Ive had an ERROR MSG now 3 ing times in a row! :whip: :mad: :( |

Dell will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be ousted from their current place as market leader for OEM PC hardware.
You can buy a Dell PC today for $299 without the monitor. Cheapest Apple? More than twice the price ($699). Apple has a reputation to uphold, and they will never sully their name with anything tier than the piece of that is the Mac Mini. Dell makes their buck on business leases and box $500 computers for people who don't know any better.
It simply won't ever happen. |
I don't think it'll take over dell either, but it'll take some of its clients away |

i know this will sound weird... but what if there was only one standard, no more hassle trying to code for 343098 browsers. I know many web programmers know what I'm talking about.

Yah, crazy idea uh? lol.. That is exactly what browsers like Opera and Firefox allows us developers to do! Code to _the_ standard (w3). They render pages as close as close possible to the standard. It only makes sense, it is a hell of a lot easier to code to a standard than to code for "343098" browsers and their interpretation of how things should look/behave. It reduces complexcity, inviting developers to focus in more important tasks while providing a long-term viability.
However, don't think for a second that the standard should be MS's interpretation of what HTML/CSS/Javascript should be. Once you have standards being controlled by a single corporation which may have financial incentives to "adjust" these standards, contratry to popular believe, they will only look after the interests of their shareholders (not that it's always a bad thins ofcourse...). Ideally Standards should be open. Imagine a web where a single corporation holds control of the standard, where other organizations wanting to implement other web browsers would have to pay royalities to the owner of the standard (The whole mess of GIF comes to mind). Wow, there would be much less development, less competition for companies like MS, ultimately, less choice for us users. We would be browsing the web with 1998 technology (some of you are!). Imagine a web where websites only work for under the product of the standard's owner ..whoa! once again, us users would get the ty end of the deal. A more extreme example.. imagine Ford gets in the business of making roads and these roads become the "defacto standard" but wait, these roads only work if you drive Ford cars! LOL. Your idea of having one standard is not a weird idea. It's actually the optimal solution if we want technology to progress while benefiting everyone, but my friend, IE has so far proven that it does not want to cooperate towards that goal. |

I even doubt that. No company is going to spend $600 on an Apple computer when they can spend $300 on a Dell to do the exact same thing, with the same reliability and support. |

There's two types of standards, one written by a group of elite and scholars but which barely anyone follows (W3C) and the defacto standard set by a corporation and its partners that is used by 90% of users (Microsoft).
The defenition of a standard is very hard to apply to web technologies because of the reality described above.
I for one prefer defacto standards over standards set by a group of elites. Much easier and cost effective to develop to that 90% than to bother doing it for the rest.
The masses rules the technology, not the other way around. |
