General Software Discussion / Two New Internet Explorer 7 Reviews
« Last post by mouser on October 21, 2006, 07:43 AM »
Two New Internet Explorer 7 Reviews:



One From Read/Writeweb: http://www.readwrite...explorer7_review.php

IE 7 is a huge improvement over IE 6. There is evidence of really good effort and innovation here - but there are also traces of the old IE that just do not fit. It seems like the IE team was pressured to release the tool (because of what Firefox is bringing out) before they had a chance to rethink and redo everything. Hopefully the shortcomings will be cleaned up in IE 8 - and that we won't have to wait another five years before it comes out!

The bigger question is how does IE7 compare to Firefox 2.0 and is it enough to hang on to IE's huge market share? This is a tough question to answer... but in terms of performance, cohesiveness of features and availability of add-ons - Firefox 2.0 is in better shape right now.


And one from WinSuperSite: http://www.winsupers....com/reviews/ie7.asp

Internet Explorer 7 is an absolute no-brainer: If you use Windows, you should almost certainly upgrade immediately: IE 7's security features are top-notch and its functional improvements are nicely designed and greatly appreciated. For the short term, certain people may run into occasional Web site compatibility issues with IE 7, but I think those problems will fade quickly. Certainly, most major Web sites have already been upgraded to work correctly with Microsoft's latest Web browser. I've had a field day in the past making fun of IE, but with IE 7, the browser has finally turned the corner. This is one product that Microsoft should be quite proud of. My only question, really, is what took them so long? Seriously, download it now. Highly recommended.

Living Room / Another good article on the power of web2.0 Branding
« Last post by mouser on October 21, 2006, 06:28 AM »
Here's a blog essay that captures a lot of what I think is true.  Interestingly, it doesn't view this as a negative thing, simply as a lesson to "nurture your brand".

Personally, I guess i'm just not well suited to the world of branding - I find this stuff very disturbing.  In essence it says people judge a book by it's cover and the contents don't matter.  Want to succeed, build better covers.  Sure content matters a little in the begining, until you get some brand recognition, after that, it's all about the cover and the brand name.. :(

Why does Google dominate search? Brand. Google’s original search brand is so successful that they can’t even get people to use their vertical searches, e.g. Maps, Images, Video, Books, even when those tool better serve users needs. Use of Google’s core search is no longer a function of whether Google is better (in many cases it’s not). People use Google the same way they use P&G products – out of brand loyalty and often just out of habit.

Why did YouTube beat Google Video? Brand. Notably, it’s the community that defined the YouTube brand as much as the technology. Ultimately, it was the strength of the brand — and Google Video’s inability to compete with the brand’s dominace — that drove the acquisition. What makes the top blogs so successful? Brand. Again, community is a key driver, which you can see in the active comments on successful blogs. In many cases, blog brands are built around individuals, but they are brands nonetheless.

Why were Weblogs Inc. and Gawker among the first successful blog media companies? Because they built brands. I’ve heard Jason Calacanis say the reason he didn’t aggregate existing blogs, as Federated Media is doing, is that he wanted to own the brands.

Why is Yahoo the largest portal? Brand. Why do so many people shop at Amazon despite the proliferation of online shopping alternatives? Brand. Why is Digg so popular? Brand — again, a community-defined brand, but a brand nonetheless.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Creating a virtual clip group in CHS to show you all clips with URLs in them
« Last post by mouser on October 19, 2006, 11:33 PM »
it already does say that
but you could change

[Select]
(Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%http%') OR (Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%www.%')

to

[Select]
(Lower(ClipText) LIKE '%http://%')

that will probably reduce the false positives.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: I can't figure some things out in this program
« Last post by mouser on October 19, 2006, 11:21 PM »
well the problem with it now is the it doesnt proper "separate" favorites from history, and just mixes them in.
i think it would be better to have a separator with favorite and recent clips segregated, and the option to have favorites in a submenus.

i think im almost ready to do another round of work on chs; a main thing i want to do is better display of favorites and stuff in the quick paste and some general fixes. i'm definitely willing to add some more stuff to make it easier to paste stuff like you say. 

i would appreciate anyone posting a list of top features they want added.

General Software Discussion / Physics Games Website
« Last post by mouser on October 19, 2006, 08:46 PM »
Cool site for those who like games with realistic physics.

As a player I always wanted there to be a website that tracks physics-based games and highlights the best of them. Many of these titles remain obscure; I’m always discovering new, addictive games. Well, I grew tired of waiting for that website to appear and decided to start it up myself. I’m in this for the long haul. This page will become the definitive source for physics games information. I hope you enjoy your stay!

great -
it might be that the new version messed up your directory because the new version has code to be smarter about screenshot directory and letting you customize where options are stored.
