Google finally gets to step into the realm of iOS web browsing. I am very happy about this! Google’s web browser, Google Chrome is now available in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad. It’s in the App Store now, just search for Chrome.
This is an oldie but a goodie. I saw the release of Tilt last year, which is a Firefox addon. Tilt allows users to view any web page and spin, turn and tilt it with a three dimensional view. If you double click on any of the 3D nodes, you can view the element information which is helpful as well. But just for the sake of seeing a web page in 3D is pretty cool.
Microsoft created a new video about how fantastic the latest version of Internet Explorer is, and I have to admit, it’s very funny. They really capture the essence of the past, where if you were like me, you seriously disliked IE; although I never uninstalled it off anyone’s computer. It’s a funny idea that I might have to pull on someone that doesn’t know any better now that I have seen this.
The definition of collusion is a “secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, esp. in order to cheat or deceive others.” One might say that tracking your online activities unbeknownst to you is collusion. Some may say it’s a stretch, but no matter what, consumer privacy on the web is one of the most important and hot topics that has been around since the early days of the Internet.
In some nice music to my ears, for the first time Google Chrome web browser has gained additional momentum and passed Mozilla Firefox to secure the spot for the second most popular web browser in the world. Internet Explorer still has the biggest stake in the browser market but their value continues to drop, although in November it has plateaued a bit, probably due to IE9 which so far is the best of the IE versions.
I am still going through all the in’s and out’s of Google+ since it launched, learning everything, experimenting, etc. One thing I just learned as I was testing some code across browsers was that G+ is not supporting Internet Explorer 7.
Today W3C unveiled the brand new (currently unofficial) logo of HTML5.
HTML5 is the next version of HTML that is getting a lot of media recently, most notably for moving away from flash video support to HTML5 video support. As I previously discussed here about IE being the ‘leader’ of HTML5 support, HTML5 is still years away from being fully released and supported by all modern browsers.
