Better get used to supporting webkit. It's going to be everywhere in many forms, and, even if Safari for Windows is buggy, Webkit and its browsers are, by far, the most standards compliant.
I agree, it's a minefield, but the web would have died if we didn't have the competition that started when FF came on the scene. Even FF has greatly benefited from this war. They certainly wouldn't have jumped on a new javascript engine if Webkit hadn't been there tripling performance.

"I thought Google was well in bed with Mozilla."
Not exactly. Mozilla makes a lot of money from ads via google, but there's not a lot of direct benefit on the Google side, or, I should say, not as much.
Google's identifying some bottlenecks in the way browsers are traditionally designed, changing them and open-sourcing the work so firefox or whoever can benefit.
If this is competition, then it's the best type, and Mozilla should only lose if...
It's all Open Source, so firefox can share the code as well.
There's a comic over at Google that explains all the aspects of Chrome that are different from other browsers. It's very impressive (and yes, it'll support plug-ins... but will also make it much easier to identify buggy or memory hogging ones) and looks to make the browser multi-threaded in the way it handles pages. It also uses webkit, which is unbelievably fast at the mo.
I wasn't interested, but, after ...
I'd imagine Sony's playing this one a little bit safe.
If this is going to be a flagship product, then they don't need the servers going down all the time and they have no idea what kind of demand this game will have. If it's not as big as anticipated, then they're safe with this. If it's huge, then this'll help them step it up to a global scale once actual REVENUE has been received for the game.
Not my fave decision, but I may just make sense. And, like you said, ma...
"...less and less interested due to MM's stupidity."
Might wanna, you know, read the actual article:
"The reason, he explained, is because each territory will have it's own dedicated server to which levels are uploaded.
"We've (Sony) got regional servers," explained Smith. "But we can move levels around on servers whenever we want. But you won't have access to the Japanese servers," he added."
I'm not ...
Not trying to be argumentative here, because I do understand you're saying "Main Games" and it's true that the big sellers over there are JRPG's.
I'd just say that Japan's videogame taste is very diverse. Just because they don't like a lot of ours doesn't mean that there isn't a extremely diverse, strange and interesting market in Japan. So, if LBP faces the hurdle of going from a large niche title to a huge mainstream success in Japan, that's not any different than in...
It's $.99. There's an error either in the submission.
Yeah, man... ban it.
It's a trash game, so why care?
It's always fine to step on free speech as long as it's speech you don't like. I can't believe people don't see that this sort of idiocy can never stop where you want it to. Once there's precedent they'll go after the games you care about.
And the game has nothing to do with the knife crime spree. Making stabbing motions, imitating the soundeffects from Psycho and laughing is as old as the original mov...
So... the looming baby boomer demographic that has 90 percent of the wealth isn't something they even want to attempt to secure?
No wonder Sony's stock is flying so high. If I was a shareholder, I'd be thrilled.
You don't have to do it like Nintendo, but to just ignore it is ridiculous.
Hmm... so Apple revises their nano to a form factor that the rest of their line has and the rest of the industry and now it's copying the zune?
I doubt any of this is accurate.
Sony and MS already paid the trolls.
"So, once we mimicked every aspect of the real life (interactivity, AI, graphics, sound, physics, objects on screen), what's next?
I'd like to see development & research going deeper into the subtile things. The white noise, although everyone hears it everyday, is not yet in every game. SpeedTree is amazing and I somtimes find myself staring at some trees that move with the wind. Then there is raytracing, more realistic water, etc.
I hope that once we accomplished these t...
"You kids are dumb as rocks. If they GIVE you 40 EXTRA Gigs for the same price, it is more for the same price... essentially saving you money... HENCE it is like reducing price. I never said in my comment it would have BC. "
It's not a price cut on the 80gb model. It's a feature improvement on the same overall hardware as the current 40gb model. Yes, it's a better deal, but no, it's not a price cut because it's going to be a different sku. You're getting a better deal f...
New Release Streaming page: (Sorry, trouble with attachments)
"are you serious
netflix-10,000 movies"
And the Wii has a larger lineup than both other consoles. What's your point?
Quantity /= Quality
For the record, I love Netflix. But for most people on this site, who watch a lot of action/horror/scifi and blockbuster movies, I'm not sure if Netflix has the better selection. For me, they definitely do. But I don't use the streaming yet.
Edit: Check out their new streaming releases if y...
No... no they didn't. Completely inaccurate.
They announced that the 40gb would be upgraded to an 80gb drive as a new sku. The 80gb presumably will be revamped to some other size with the full features.
Better than the current Netflix streaming line-up, maybe. Though we really don't know anything about the amount of movies available, so even that's questionable.
But the pricing is mediocre. Same as Apple and Amazon for the most part.
"3.3 - Veryangryxbot
hey
how long are the rentals? 24hr?"
Indeed, lotsa questions. We don't know length of rental, what you can do with your purchase/rental besides transfer it to the psp (watching on pc, transferring to other mp3/movie players, burning it), or quality levels besides sd.
I'm a huge itunes/ipod fan and I've never rented a movie. Way too expensive. Even blockbuster with their gouging is cheaper than this if it's not a week rental ...
Same reason it's not on Linux or OS X.... DRM
"In fact, most people stick to Firefox mainly because of add-ons."
In fact, most people use whatever's installed on their computer, i.e. IE.
In other facts, a large section of firefox users don't even know they can use extensions. If they have any installed, it's usually a Yahoo toolbar or some such nonsense.
I love firefox, but I find it amazing how defensive people get. Who cares if google destroys firefox? If firefox can't keep up, it deserv...
