Not sure about Google - Page 10

Undertoad · 09-16-2012, 10:38 AM

Jesus Fucking Christ. It is not out to kill off the others. Google supports the current and previous versions of all browsers. That's a good thing. Take a look at this table

http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html

And see, mostly down halfway to selectors, how much of CSS3 is not supported by IE8. Those are things that will improve experience that IE refused to support when it developed 8.

Google moves directly ahead and drags IE, kicking and screaming, against its will, into the future. If XP users want to continue they must install a browser that supports modern protocols. Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. It takes five minutes to do that, and they can even install an extension that makes their browser look, feel and act like IE.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

JFC... most users, especially the business community, use IE because
it comes already installed on their PC's or their IT dept refuses to go down
any other path than MS. After all, their "certification" almost demands it.

Think about it.
... Google led the way with SEARCH, SCHOLAR, MAPS, etc.,
and now MS and Apple are developing their own counter-parts.

These moves on the part of Google and Apple look to me as a movement towards
a "stove pipe" industry, due primarily to the advertising/marketing industry jumping
on the FaceBook business model...collect data on users and sell it the marketers.
The ultimate could be that Users will have to decide which
"private customer base" to join... or, It's my way or the (internet) highway.

Ironically, the first signs of questioning this business model are appearing in today's news

JFC... it's not only about IT.

Secure is better. by making gmail available via https ONLY, they take a big step to secure your information. There's a kind of interesting topic, sidejacking, described in the link.

sorry for the delayed response.

Microsoft To Make Same Privacy Change Google Was Attacked For; No One Seems To Care

Since I already trust The Google, I'm good to go. Since I already mistrust Microsoft to a greater degree, I'm already on alert.

I knew that. Wasn't thinking.

Here is a reminder of the old, familiar, public-spirited Google we used to know and love.

Google has introduced Google Public Alerts, a new feature based on Google Maps

It looks and acts like traditional Google Maps, but clicking on
an item takes you much further into the detailed message text and pics.

Type in the location (e.g., West Virginia) and it's off and running

Here is Google's video introduction

Has the Google IMAGE match feature gone away.

Today, when I drag a pic onto the Image Search box, the image loads but then nothing happens... no search... no matching images.

Is this one more "added feature" that Google is adopting ?

Try Opera.

Yeah, opera works.

Was that yeah, as in verily? or yeah as in chyeah as if?

ZenGum · 11-30-2012, 10:50 PM

I've never used it.

It's just that "opus" means "work" (noun, as in a piece of work) and the plural "opera" means "works".
