rekonq is a KDE browser based on Webkit.

…rekonq is a KDE browser based on Webkit. Its code is based on Nokia QtDemoBrowser, just like Arora. Anyway its implementation is going to embrace KDE technologies to have a full-featured KDE web browser.This software is the product of my playing to be a programmer , so the higher its quality is, the better I can play.. I’ve got lots of ideas to implement in it, so many features that I will like to have in my perfect browser . Anyway, rekonq is far from perfect. It needs a lot of love..Featuresrekonq will never have tons of features like (some) other browsers. Anyway, it…

Legal action on Zombie Cookies filed in US court

Lawsuit filed in San Francisco district court after firms resurrected deleted browser cookies.

…A legal challenge has been launched in the US against a number of websites amid claims that they were engaged in “covert surveillance” of users.
The lawsuit alleges that a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace, used a Quantcast Flash application to restore deleted cookies.
Cookies are text files used by web browsers to store user data.
The lawsuit says that the application was creating so-called “zombie cookies” from deleted files.
Quantcast has not responded to a BBC News request for comment.
The term “zombie cookie” was coined after the issue of traditional browser cookies being undeleted by Flash was brought to light in a 2009 paper by US researchers.
The study found that more than half of sites surveyed used flash cookies to store information about the user, with some using it to “respawn or re-instantiate cookies deleted by the user”.
“Flash cookies often share the same values as browser cookies, and are even used on government websites to assign unique values to users,” the paper…

Is Google Watching You? New Plugin Will Let You Know [APPS]

Another rad browser plugin called Google Alarm hit the Internets this week, which alerts you every time your personal info is sent to Google’s servers. How

…t this something we try not to think about? We know it’s happening and we (or most) try to keep it clean just because anything posted on the internet is fair game even if you delete it. Those that don’t play with caution may find themselves burned. The smart thing…watch what you post and what information you offer up… BostonDave”I always feel like. Google is watching me”(obscure 80s music reference) insidmalIf anyone gets this and is “surprised” by how many times it goes off, then you don’t know the internet very well :-) MarkMashable uses two Google Analytics databases, does that mean two the alarms?BTW..

Play Pac-Man in HTML5

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 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…
