Building a mobile-optimized website is an increasingly common task being asked of web developers. Mobile-optimized designs take into account small screen size and often compress content for delivery over slower networks. Mobile sub-sites are often the first strategy developers turn to. But at the same time, full-fledged mobile browsers like Safari, the Android browser and Opera [...]
By Gary Price, Senior Editor As we mentioned last week, both EBSCOhost and Summon for Serial Solutions have officially been released. We’ve had only a short time to use both and for the most part were very impressed. Let’s review each news release and share a few comments. Btw, we used the Safari browser on an [...]

Back in 2004, Firefox reached version 1.0 and quickly became the alternative browser of choice for people sick of Internet Explorer and Safari. It’s hard to imagine my internet experience without it now, but it’s good to remind myself that before 2004, all I ever used was Internet Explorer (scary, I know). Anyway, I really like [...]
The fab open-source alternative browser, Firefox, turned five years old on Monday. On November 9th, 2004, Firefox launched to a world in which Internet Explorer owned 99 percent of the market. My, how things have changed. Five years later, Internet Explorer still holds the number one spot. However, it's market share has declined preciptiously, with it now sitting at 65 percent, while Firefox owns 23...
Firefox is five years old. Five years ago, Microsoft seemed to have an absolute lock on the browser market with Internet Explorer, having long ago crushed Netscape. The browser wars were over. Or so it seemed. According to Net Applications' Market Share, 64.6 percent of Web users run Internet Explorer, compared to 24 percent running Mozilla's Firefox. Other browsers like Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome,...
As anyone who knows me has heard me complain about at length, I despise Apple. It's not that the technology is inherently bad, but that arrogance of "Steve knows best" that comes through the closed architecture, the inability to adapt products easily to one's own needs (e.g., the continued use of Safari as the default browser... when it is expressly incompatible with the major legal, banking...
At my talk at Fronteers, I introduced Émile, a JavaScript animation framework, that’s framework-agnostic, and just takes up about 50 lines of code. With Gzipping, and minification, it’s well under 1k in size. Consider it experimental, but most things you’d ever need are supported, supporting IE6 and up, and modern web browsers Firefox, Safari, Chrome, [...]

Filed under: Internet , Browsers Web designers and standards advocates have tried everything to kill Internet Explorer 6 , but it just refuses to die. In fact, Microsoft has extended support for the aging browser until at least mid-2010, and longer for some versions of Windows. However, there is strong evidence that people are coming around to browsers that support standards, don't make web designers...
