    IE (with certain settings on) is sending page data back to Microsoft. If it sends the URL, title and referrer back then the following session is pretty easy to reverse engineer. 1.…

    While the tab behaviour is good, the close buttons are hopelessly small. They are a tiny 12px by 12px on Windows. Compare this to the close window buttons, which are 64px by 24px. …

    "Most 100,000 LOC "applications" created by people like this could be rewritten as five lines of Perl in fifteen minutes. I know because I've done it. [...] I should also mention t…

    Couldn't he gamble with them? Put one or two chips down at a time, keep the winnings as "clean" chips and gamble with the dirty ones until they're all gone?

    I can't imagine the branding looks as good for Chrome 23.0 as it does for single digits. Maybe they'll switch to code names.

    Amazon's API format is irrelevant because their service is so popular. Once the API is stable and client libraries are available for common languages most developers will be unawar…

    Firefox's prompts are a pain in the neck. "Do you want to install the latest Firefox?" No! I want to browse the web. That's why I opened my browser. Every time I get that message I…

    "Manage your game online and integrate our open source libraries in your code, its that easy." That should be "It's". No comma and an apostrophe. I have to agree with the other com…
