Chrome has a "Use side tabs" option in Labs, though only on Windows and Linux for some reason.

It's sort of like TreeStyleTabs, but nowhere near as powerful. With TST, you can configure the placement and look of the tab bar (or autohide it), group tabs into trees that you can collapse/expand/reload/close separate trees, and a number of other nit-picking options and actions that just make it feel right. Side tabs feels like an afterthought in comparison. I mention this not to hate on Chrome or side tabs, but be…

I feel like a broken record on this issue, but every few weeks I'll get fed up with something about FF and look to see if Chrome finally has a decent port of this and I'm always disappointed. One day, I hope...

"I wish Boxee didn't crash so much." Sadly true. And Plex, the main alternative, crashes as much, but in different ways. No more Front Row in Lion. I think Apple want us to buy Apple Tv...

Ever tried using Plex? (Not saying that's perfect, but in 2,5yrs of usage, and 24/7 on, it has yet to crash on me). http://www.plexapp.com/

From the comment you're replying to:

Downloading copyrighted material is legally in the clear in .us [citation needed]? I’ve never heard that before. Mind you, I’m not in the US.

The uploader is the one doing the copyright infringement. I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for downloading.

If you are using bittorrent, you are almost certainly uploading.

I'm also not sure that they never prosecuted anyone for downloading is actually a sufficient amount of evidence that it is legal. I've never heard of anyone get prosecuted for uploading just one song or one movie, that doesn't mean that it would be legal to do so.

"I wish my car accepted audio input." I just used a Grom adapter to add bluetooth to my 1999 daily driver. It doesn't have whizzy features like voice dialing and A2DP audio quality is not excellent but, for podcasts, pop music, and phone calls, it's great. http://www.gromaudio.com/

Wow, I just bought a late model VW Golf and didn't want to spring for the factory bluetooth upgrade (500+ AUD). I'm definitely going to look at this more later tonight! Thanks for the tip.

They could probably swing it in court as similar to knowingly purchasing counterfeit goods, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Thus far they're only going after people for uploading because: 1) it's less of a legal grey area and 2) the huge monetary damages serve as a warning while going to prison would probably seem too harsh, even for people that think side with the RIAA/MPAA.

xbmc is ok enough. It handles 95% of stuff.

XBMC er here as well. Boxee might turn around their issues with their next release but, it loves to crash right now. XBMC, not a one crash

I've fed certain videos to XBMC that consistently caused it to crash, this was a year+ ago though, so maybe they fixed it.

Have you tried using tree tabs in Chrome? It isn't quite as slick as the Firefox tree tabs, but still nicer than the little nubs that are the default. That's interesting though, I always do dev stuff in Firefox because of how anemic firebug is in Chrome, and casual surfing in Chrome because it feels faster.

I find the developer tools in chrome actually better than firebug these days. Do you have any specific features that you miss with the current builds of both?

I find they are all lacking in major ways and I have to jump between IE, FireFox, and Chrome. Anyone that swears by a single browser's dev tools isn't making much use of them.

  - Only Chrome lets you set a breakpoint on JS event listeners.
  - Only IE let's you change the next line of execution in JS.
  - You *can't* edit the value of a local variable in the Chrome console!
  - Only IE9 & FF search multiple JS files when doing a text find.
  - IE doesn't refresh the dev tools representation of the DOM without clicking refresh.
  - Only IE has a "format JavaScript" for minimized, obfuscated JS.  And it allows you to set breakpoints on the formatted lines!
  - Only Chrome has tools for finding memory leaks (see dev channel for big improvements in that).
Etc, etc.

> I thought the most interesting part was his wish list at the end.

Yes, well. I always thought it was really dumb for cars to not accept audio input. I mean, why? but why? and most importantly: since when will we, users, let those machine makers dictate the way we have to use their tools?

My car is a cheap minivan, but I HAVE external audio input, and use it 100% of the time.

It is the same with iTune: why can't I delete audio files? I am a grown-up, please let me delete files I want to delete.

Letting other people control your environment drives me crasy. It is very strange to see so many devs like Resig using more and more Apple Inc products. We devs shouldn't we not being in full control of our tools? Dear Mr Resig, what is GNU/Linux for you? Why is it not in the landscape? jQuery is open, right? Don't you care being trapped in a closed garden? Do you agree with the fact that iPhone software must be developped on iX machines using iY IDE, plugged together with iZ cables, all from one manufacturer?

Minor quibble. The latest versions of chrome(12 onwards) let you de-obfuscate JS code, and set breakpoints in the cleaned up code. Just right click in the source tab pane, and the code get prettified.
