I’ve long thought that the percentage of visits going to Firefox in my site statistics were oddly high. It turns out it’s pretty much in line with numbers put out by both Bob Sutor and Joe Gregorio…
It’s definitely misconfigured in one way or the other as evidenced by the fact that it sucks and has sucked consistently for over a year.
New flight delay prediction site that actually works. Launched with an iPhone app. Runs on Heroku. I’ve been working with them for a few months now. Great team. Simple, smart product. More of that please.
You cannot find this special offer anywhere else. A Twitter client, a fart noise generator, and a flashlight, all in one app for the iPhone. Act now!
Nicely done. I have to take a serious look at iUI one of these days. It sounds like you can get really close to a native app experience.
“One unpublicized feature introduced by Apple’s latest iPhone software updates is the ability to save Web apps to the home screen and have them launch in full-screen mode without the Safari wrapper, essentially mimicking the experience of a native app.”
“An iPhone developer who created an app that manages and plays podcasts says the app was disqualified from the App Store because ‘it duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes.’ That’s right, iTunes for the desktop.”
And the overwhelming majority of comments are actually in support of Apple’s decision, change the subject, or attack the author. Amazing.
“You can specify CSS based on viewport orientation which you determine via javascript and update the orient attribute of the body element. Target the browser with body[orient=‘landscape’] or body[orient=‘portrait’]”
My feelings exactly. I can’t believe I’m going to consciously purchase something that’s so over the top defective-by-design, but I’m definitely going to buy it.
“My current theory is that it’s some twisted form of wish fulfillment. ‘I wish this company understood the value of openness, but they don’t, so I’m going to keep buying their closed, crippled shit until they get it.’”
“And the more I’ve been thinking about that argument, the more I realize that it’s exactly how Microsoft spun the proprietary, non-standard HTML features in IE 4.”
You had me at “SSH”.
“I hope you can wipe the screen off!” — I fell off my chair.
Nails it.
