Google Chrome 6 beta is about to hit internet

AMD Releases Desktop OpenGL ES Driver for Accelerated WebGL

AMD today announced the first OpenGL ES 2.0 driver for desktop computing environments specifically to support the WebGL standard for plugin-free 3D content on the web. Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Mozilla (Firefox), and Opera (Opera) are the current browser contributors/supporters of the WebGL standard.

…From Stumbling Ahead blog:

This is not an emulator or some sort of layer on top of OpenGL, but a full implementation of OpenGL ES accessed through EGL. Why is this important? How will this make your PC experience better? There are three reasons.

First, OpenGL ES on all modern AMD graphics desktops gives developers a unified environment. Game developers can write one 3D pipeline that can run on an HTC Evo, an Apple iPad, and on desktop and laptop PCs.

Second, this change will make web experiences faster and richer in the immediate future. WebGL is based on OpenGL ES. Web browsers will be able to use OpenGL ES directly on AMD hardware instead of having to translate every call to some other API first.

Third, mobile developers can create mobile content first directly on a PC without having to wrangle with SDKs or emulators to make sure their code functions correctly on OpenGL ES. This makes developers lives easier and speeds up the whole development process.

Look for OpenGL ES to make a big impact in…

Ostrich: A Safari extension that’s really a Twitter client

Are you a Twitterholic? Then at the very least you need to take a look at Jérôme Gravel-Niquet’s interesting implementation of the social networking phenomenon as an add-on for Apple’s default Mac OS browser.

Apple’s Safari could possibly leak your personal information

A feature in Apple’s Safari browser designed to make it easier to fill out forms could by abused by hackers to harvest personal information, according to a security researcher.

…IDG News Service - A feature in Apple’s Safari browser designed to make it easier to fill out forms could be abused by hackers to harvest personal information, according to a security researcher. Safari’s AutoFill feature is enabled by default and will fill in information such as first and last name, work place, city, state, and e-mail address when it recognizes a form, wrote Jeremiah Grossman, CTO for WhiteHat Security, on his blog. The information comes from Safari’s local operating system address book. The feature dumps the data into the form even if a person has entered no data on a particular Web site, which opens up an opportunity for a hacker. “All a malicious website would have to do to surreptitiously extract Address Book card data from Safari is dynamically create form text fields with the aforementioned names, probably invisibly, and then simulate A-Z keystroke events using JavaScript,” Grossman wrote. “When data is populated, that is AutoFill’ed, it can be accessed and sent to the attacker.’…

Dell Streak review | TheTechJournal.com

The Dell Streak Android tablet is basically a really big smartphone.

…480-resoluton camera, as well as a 5-megapixel out-facing camera. You also get a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor.
The Streak’s battery life may well be impressive, but what about its performance as a phone? Pretty good, we’d say last night we made a 25-minute call with the Streak held against our face the whole time, and our hand and arm were still alive after that. We also did our usual noise test and the Streak managed to suppress a fair amount of background noise, as you can see in the video above.

Well, here’s the meat. Like we said earlier, this final firmware performs much smoother and is more stable than what we have on our prototype. Dell’s also put on its own skin over the Android 1.6 OS homescreen icons are put in shaded boxes, the menu drops down from the top and can shrink to a favorites bar, and on the top bar you get a homescreen-switching button, notifications area, plus a status area, all of which can be triggered by just a tap instead of a drag action. Unlike most other Android…

Vendor Inaction Leads Researcher to Disclose Safari, IE flaw

White Hat Security CTO Jeremiah Grossman says that the four major browsers have critical weaknesses that have yet to be addressed by their respective companies, and could expose users’ passwords, e-mail addresses, and more to attackers.Grossman plans to demo a proof-of-concept attack at next week’s conference.

…If you use the autocomplete features in Safari, certain versions of IE, Firefox, or Chrome, you could be making yourself vulnerable to identity theft and other attacks, according to one security researcher scheduled to speak at the Black Hat conference next week. White Hat Security CTO Jeremiah Grossman says that the four major browsers have critical weaknesses that have yet to be addressed by their respective companies, and could expose users’ passwords, e-mail addresses, and more to attackers.

Grossman plans to demo a proof-of-concept attack at next week’s conference. As most of us know, if you have autocomplete turned on in many browsers, you just have to begin typing a letter or two in one of the fields before they all fill in with your name and address, possibly your credit card number, and more. Grossman says attackers can simply create a page with hidden form fields that use JavaScript to enter letters and numbers into each field until it finds one that’s a hit, and the browser autocompletes it….

BlackBerry 6’s WebKit-based browser bests the competition

Uh oh, looks like they’re still in the game!

…It’s been almost a year since RIM picked up Torch Mobile and locked its newly acquired division in a closet, telling those coders to not come out until BlackBerry had a world-class browser. Early tests from Salomondrin, the self-described “007 of the Phone World,” indicates that those tired engineers can now finally go home and get some sleep. The new WebKit-based browser, a part of BlackBerry OS 6.0, managed a score of 208 on the Acid HTML5 tests, measuring browser compliance and performance. Meanwhile the iPhone 4 scored 185 and HTC’s Incredible pulled down 151. Mind you, benchmark performance doesn’t always equate to real-world browser responsiveness, but regardless this is good news for CrackBerry addicts. The only question now is: when will they get their fix?

Update: The browsers were run through a suite of tests, and the above scores were actually from The HTML5 Test!…
