Bugged by browsers
"Some days I’m just totally bugged by the situation with browsers.
OmniWeb has way too many problems with CSS.
Mozilla, though wonderful in so many ways, drives like a tank—and I keep reading tales of how it eat its bookmark file. A little scary.
MSIE doesn’t let me block pop-up ads or block images from specific servers.
Chimera won’t let me set my font preferences, which I’m rather picky about.

" I think that eventually Chimera will be my main browser, but for now, ugh, I’m screwed. [inessential.com]

I agree with Brent. Chimera is finally stable enough at 0.5 to use as my main browser. I still use MSIE for Manila Express compatability. I'm migrating to using NetNewsWire or Radio for posting, since Manila Express is broken on the Windows box I use at work.  11:10:59 PM  permalink  


Danger lurks around the corner.
InfoSync: Danger lurks around the corner. "...making the flat-rate - at least for synchronization - a must-have for users of the device will yield interesting results with carriers that introduce devices based on the HipTop reference design. The mere availability of a flat-rate offering will make it hard for carriers to argue why it shouldn't be available for users of other devices too..." [Hack the Planet]

This is the most detailed explanation of this new device I've seen. It's a phone that also supports multiple messaging, email and browsing applications. Interestingly, it does so by talking to servers, not to the net. It syncronizes, it doesn't pull directly. I'm interested in combining my Palm and my cellphone into one device that can get web info.  11:00:57 PM  permalink
