Just How Big is Opera 9.5 (Kestrel) Going to Be?
Published by June 23rd, 2007 in Corporate Talk, Software 0 CommentsOpera is an awesome company. If you were wondering where most “innovation” in the world of web browsers came from, you need look no further. Many of the features that other browsers like to claim as their own actually originated in Opera; from in-line search to tabbed Windows, Opera had all of these and many [...]
CodePlex Downloads and Internet Explorer 7
Published by January 26th, 2007 in Microsoft, Software 10 CommentsIt seems ridiculous, but if you’re interested in downloading source code from Microsoft’s “SourceForge” (aka CodePlex), you’re going to need to use Firefox.

Mystery Internet Explorer 7 Icon – Hopefully Not For Real!
Published by September 4th, 2006 in Corporate Talk, Software, Windows 9 CommentsWhen we first saw Internet Explorer’s new icon, we were impressed. It’s nice, it’s slick, it’s cool. It sums up all of Vista in one icon, and it looks great.
That’s why we were surprised when we came across a new and previously unseen icon out of the middle of nowhere. It’s labeled IE7, but it [...]

4 Things that Microsoft Needs to Fix
Published by August 6th, 2006 in Corporate Talk, Software, Windows 13 CommentsAt this point in its development cycle, Vista is wrapping up, pages are being stamped, and volumes are being closed. It’s not done, but it’s as close to RC1 as it can get, and Release Candidates are theoretically lock-down final bug-bashing opportunities, and not much gets changed at that point. So Build 5472 is for many [...]
