[Item Permalink] Is Google Chrome taking users away from Firefox and Opera? -- Comment()
I noticed an interesting statistics at my photography blog Light Scrape, namely that the Google Chrome browser has risen in a few days from 0% share to 5% in the browser statistics. However, Internet Explorer is at about the same level as previously (0.5 percent point less), but Firefox and Opera have given room to Chrome. Safari is also at about the same level as previously.

A possible interpretation is that the platform-specific browsers (IE and Safari) will more or less continue at the same use level than previously, but the althernative browsers will see rapid changes because they are used by web surfers who are willing to experiment. This may mean a problem especially for Firefox.

Of course, my blog is quite modest in the visitor level, only a couple of hundred visits per day, so this may not mean anything.


[Item Permalink] Should I, or should I not? -- Comment()
I'm really tempted. Once again the object of the desire is the Panasonic LX3 camera. Are there better pocketable cameras out there? No, I don't think so. But I still wish for the impossible - an even better camera. Canon, Fuji, anyone?
