Marc Barrot: Transclusion Breakthrough: The Endless Web Page, coming in activeRenderer 1.2. "Clicking the [up-arrow] icon, or the link's text, will cause the linked outline to be inserted directly in the current page, as a child of the node that carried the link." Nice, the outline equivalent of Kuro5hin's dynamic comments I wrote about a few months ago. The post is also the first public mention I've seen of Internet Explorer 6 for Macintosh, a product whose prior existence was only a rumor. Speaking of rendering, the Hiptop doesn't display this site well at all: the calendar appears as a list instead of a table, and no posts is visible, just the days. I think it's misinterpreting the CSS provided by my heavily modified activeRenderer. Some information on how the Hiptop proxy mangles Web pages would be great. And eventually I need to update to the latest activeRenderer, so stuff can start to work again... 11:02:01 PM | reply [] Steven Frank has been raving about his Hiptop for the past few days. I got a chance to use one tonight. The reviews I've seen so far don't quite do it justice: the interface is really efficient, fast and easy to use with one hand while the device is closed. The AIM and mail clients are well done, and while I will be upset to give up Palm Desktop, the Web-based PIM functionality means I can easily add events from either my desktop or laptop machines. I want one (but only after my current phone's contract expires). 10:35:47 PM | reply []
