aszxcv Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 i just read your blog is one questions i have is Canvasscapegood 3d made only of javascript code or is it a mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Canvascape is written in javascript but it also uses the canvas tag (from HTML5 I think) which is in Firefox, Opera, and WebKit (Safari/Chrome) (basically everyone except IE). Canvas makes drawing easy in javascript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC5 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am using google chrome. Its great an all but as its the first beta version im not expecting much. They need add on programs like mozilla does. Dont think that having a non title browser is a bad idea Good browser in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eBBee Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Want to see Google Chrome crash, type "about:%" in the address bar.Yesterday it was crashing just by clicking right mouse button in address bar but today it isn't. It may have been updated live by itself or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yesterday it was crashing just by clicking right mouse button in address bar but today it isn't. It may have been updated live by itself or what?If you had "about:%" in your clipboard, then right clicking in the address bar will crash it. It simply won't even let you think about pasting it. So there was no live update, just an interpretation it was doing. You'll get your typical context menu with anything else in your clipboard.

aspnetguy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 A little something for you Chrome users:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7597699.stm I read a couple articles about that and figured it was just an oversight as it has turned out to be.Even if it wasn't it would never hold up in court.RIAA: You are infringing our copyrightGoogle: No, no it's all good. A Chrome user downloaded this mp3 so according to our EULA it is now our property.RIAA: Is that so...Yeah I know that is an extreme exaggeration but it was funny....right?

It did crash on ":%" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AElliott Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Still waiting myself, no functional Linux version as yet - you can only build some modules and pass some of the unit tests.It is an interesting prospect, mostly for the rock solid way it's built (though it is resource intensive, lots of duplication of memory - relatively speaking) and the V8 engine (though in the comparison's I've read it's mostly good at the heavy recursion stuff and still needs optimisation in DOM areas). Will be interesting to see how the other browsers react to this, especially Firefox with their new TraceMonkey under development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I find it hilarious Google even thought for a split second they could write those kind of rights, it's ridiculous even as an oversight. The TOS has been changed. They claim it was just a copy paste from another services TOS and that that section was overlooked when adjusting it for Chrome. They apparently never had those intentions.Still waiting myself, no functional Linux version as yet - you can only build some modules and pass some of the unit tests.It is an interesting prospect, mostly for the rock solid way it's built (though it is resource intensive, lots of duplication of memory - relatively speaking) and the V8 engine (though in the comparison's I've read it's mostly good at the heavy recursion stuff and still needs optimisation in DOM areas).

I am sure they will at a later date after they are out of beta perhaps. I hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they will at a later date after they are out of beta perhaps. I hope so anyway.Not shocking at all. Google knows where the future is, so why not test it out with windows users before importing it to the correct platform Joke! I have nothing against windows. Much.

Natechs Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 They say that a Mac and Linux version are in development. I personally like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 testing a Beta Browser in a Beta Operating System doesn't make sense to me... Since when is Linux a beta OS? Linux is based on the UNIX kernel which was around 20 years before Windows 1.0.Linux is not a dominate OS because it is hard to use, or is perceived that way. It is more stable in just about every way then Windows. Windows is just easy to use and MS has done a good job buying off PC makers.I have used Windows for over 10 years and I used Macs all through elementary and high school and now I am trying out Linux...it is just a matter of getting used to a new interface. Windows is by far the least secure and stable of the 3 but is the one I use the most because of my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
