Apple recently dropped the iPhone 3.1 update on the world and many users did the MINOR .1 revision update. I say minor because it is customary to have any .x updates be bug fixes and minor tweeks to the system. However, this was a little more then just a tweek if you look at it from the IT/Security/You Should Have Told Us perspective.

As a web developer I am always testing everything I build in as many browsers as I can in order to reach as many people as I can while keeping the design and functionality of my site intact. So when Google launch their browser I wasn’t really that thrilled to be honest. I was and still am more of a Firefox user then any other browser. I will say that with each release of Chrome I want to give it a shot. And when reading about a 30% increase in speed while browsing I have to wonder if I should try using it instead of just testing to make sure my sites work in it.
Still on the fence but for those interested, a new beta release dropped on the 5th and you can read about it here>>.
Google may have made some noise when they released the Google Chrome OS but in the background they were and have been working on a remote X protocal that they quietly released on July 7th called NeatX. Check out the full scoop here>>.
 I just recently finished work on a new site for a friend of mine. Scott thrILL! over at http://www.thrillgottengains.com. He’s been working on a sound track to the Body Bags comic book so head on over to his site and check it out. Also wanna thank Andy Stewart for helping work out a design.
I recently installed eeebuntu on my eee900 netbook and after 2 weeks I have to say I love it. I had originally opted to install crunch bang and while I really loved how clean and the interface was it seemed just a little slow. So I figured I’d try out a new distro. The netbook interface seemed painfully slow but once I switch over to the standard desktop all was good. For anyone that is looking to get an Asus netbook and would like to run Linux ( seeing how Asus sold out to Microsoft ) I highly recommend giving eeebuntu a try.
I just finished reading a short blog about Google being not only a friend but also a foe to the Open Source movement (read blog).
I will say that when I first heard about Google Chrome OS I was a little exited as well as confused to the direction they may take it and what would happen to other Open Source projects that they would compete with directly. The above blog hits on all of those subject and is something that all Open Source users need to not only think about but follow as this may change the landscape for Linux and who will be using it.
Of course I see this as a chance to really open up the possibilities and to finally hit a part of the market that would have never used Linux before. This may even open up the door to get those much needed applications that vendors wouldn’t port before because the user base just wasn’t there.
All that aside you have to wonder if Google will become the New Redmond or will they stay true to the Open Source community.
I can remember when suckerfish had posted the CSS dropdown nav. I can remember using javascript and tables to make my first dropdown nav. I thought if we could only get CSS working in all broswers this would be perfect. I eventually started using an variation with a javascript workaround for IE6.
