  • Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar Beta vs Web Developer toolbar extension

    “Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery.” Or so they say. But I don’t know if this holds true when the imitating party is… Microsoft.

  • Google Blogsearch & Webfeeds

    At first look there are no orange XML/RSS chicklets in Google Blogsearch.

  • Mozilla going Corporate

    Today the Mozilla Foundation announced that the non-profit organisation will spawn a for-profit Mozilla Corporation. Exactly how they will make a profit isn’t clear to me. Presumably by offering paid support(?). But, they promise that Firefox & Thunderbird will remain free, always. The corporate domain has already been setup. But there’s not much to see…

  • IE7 UserAgent string

    Is it (Apart from being spoofed) ?: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Except for the .NET stuff… IS IE7 dependant on the .NET Framework? Just some thoughts… Anyhow, anyone building around a useragent-string isn’t doing the right thing. 🙂
