Oh the irony. Apple today took the wraps off of a new HTML 5 & Web Standards page, showing off to devs and end users alike what HTML 5 and other bleeding edge web standards are capable of. Only problem — this “openness” is limited (artificially) to only Apple’s Safari browser. Now I know for a fact the latest betas of Chrome and Firefox can do at least half the stuff in the demos. But I digress. For Safari users, head on over to the HTML 5...
Feeling a little renegade-like this evening? Why not test out a fresh copy of Firefox 64-bit edition? Be warned, it’s “pre-alpha”. With that, bugs will roam rampant with the most notable being the utter mess of plugin support. The move to 64-bit will require all new re-writes of said feature by plugin developers.

Ok, foot warmer isn’t quite accurate. Socks is a better classification. Choosing socks is an odd one though. If you’re really proud of your geeky lifestyle, why put in on an article of clothing that few will ever see? So how about it: Would you wear Firefox-esque FireSox? (Say...
Folks in Europe who have so far been plagued with the lack of browser options in Windows during setup can breathe a sigh of relief today, for the much talked about “browser ballot” will officially go live next week. But today, we get to actually look at it. The ballot isn’t anything special — just a random ordering of the five top browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, and Safari) with two basic options: “Install” or “More...
