Aza Raskin has shared a Tab Candy concept for Firefox web browser, which essentially is as a hybrid of tab thumbnails and Fences. Here is how it
…Home / Firefox, Tips, Videos / Firefox Tab Candy: Simple, Yet ConvenientFirefox Tab Candy: Simple, Yet ConvenientWritten by Vygantas Lipskas on July 27, 2010Aza Raskin has shared a Tab Candy concept for Firefox web browser, which essentially is as a hybrid of tab thumbnails and Fences.
Here is how it works:
While viewing all the tabs as small thumbnails, you group the tabs in categories, for example: work, home. While surfing work per say, you will only see tabs that are in this category.
Video demo:In case you are interested, there is an alpha version already, download it here.
Already hooked up? Gizmodo commentator has also posted a Tab Candy song for you to check.
Thanks to Nox for the news tip….

The beta version of Google’s next browser is expected to ship soon, as the developer-channel release of Chrome 6 has just seen a code freeze
…Chrome 5 added built-in support for Adobe Flash, and version 6 adds similar support for PDFs. An in-browser PDF viewer will ship with the next browser. PDFs can be viewed, searched and navigated in a tab, just like a web page. The PDF experience is also sandboxed like any other app, keeping things secure. Printing…

Programmer Dale Harvey has created a playable version of Pac-Man using only web standards.To rebuild the same gameplay found in the arcade classic using browser-native code, he’s relying on local storage, HTML5 audio, Canvas and @font-face.
…I have a somewhat older machine, running Windows XP SP3 on Mozilla Firefox. I played it for about six minutes. At first the ghosts were running super fast and it was very challenging. After I died, the sound seemed to fall out of synch, then went out for a solid minute. It was a little annoying to be playing, then to hear the sound of a new maze starting, or your pacman dying at random times during gameplay. Also noticed the ghosts would remain blue into new mazes, and the ‘eyes’ would randomly choose not to go back to their starting position, but just become ghosts in random locations in the maze. I had a BLAST with this, as the errant behavior meant I could not necessarily count on previous experience. Really tops, and thanks for sharing….

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…

The easiest way to ensure cross-browser compatibility is to code according to W3C standards. A number of issues to consider when designing for multiple browsers.
…Testing for Multiple Browsers
In the past decade, the web browser landscape has changed dramatically. At the end of the browser wars (Netscape vs Microsoft Internet Explorer), Microsoft was victorious, and Netscape seemed to lay floundering with no hope for recovery.
After Netscape’s quiet descent into the open source world, releasing Mozilla, and its eventual resurgence with Mozilla Firefox, developers who had become lazy, coding only for Internet Explorer (IE), were faced with a new dilemma.
Microsoft ending support for its IE version for Macs also helped to usher in a new browser from Apple: Safari. Add Opera and now Google Chrome, and the chance that coding for one browser and actually having your site look the way you intended on all the others, becomes very slim.
Browser market share aside, it is just part of web design best practices to make sure your website can reach as wide of an audience as possible. That means developing sites that work on desktop browsers, tablets, netbooks, screen readers, and…
