Comment on Chrome vs Chromeless by ianloic

ianloic — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:47:28 +0000

One of the reasons that so-called site specific browsers are attractive is that they run in a separate process from your main browser. This means you get to use both the cores in your cpu – one for Firefox and one for your SSB. Chrome's inherently multi-process architecture is designed for the modern computers of the past couple of years and foreseeable future which are increasingly parallel.

Chrome's lack of features is disruptive. It rejects the conventional flawed model of software development that we've seen coming out of Redmond and Cupertino for thirty years – adding features to sell the new version. Chrome isn't trying to sell itself because it isn't the feature – the web is the feature. People want to interact with web pages and chrome is just there to let them do that. In Unix XWindows terms Chrome is just the window manager for your web applications.

Also, by all accounts the Chromium project is actually welcoming to non-employee contributors. That's refreshing. The WebKit side of the fence seems to be doing a better job of that these days than the other guys.

PS: I used to believe that evolving and extending the web browser user experience was the right way to go. Now I think we just need to burn it down and throw it away. Make every feature, every button, every pixel justify itself, fight for its right to exist.

Comment on Harvey Milk Documentary by Robin Reed

Rob, I'm glad you saw it and I'm glad you blog. This documentary is special to me, too. It was my Mom's Ah-Ha moment way back when it came out. She credits this film to waking her up to not just accepting her daughter's homosexuality but with seeing it as a human rights issue. I have always sent this to people who are 'coming out of the closet' or whose parents need some broader context.

Are these your personal mantras, or is this pulled from elsewhere? Either way, I like it. :-)

Comment on Obama Knew It Was Coming All Along by SabineM

Here is what I think. Obama has run an amazing campaign and Mccain NOT SO MUCH. Obama must have given the McCain campaign the ideas on Obama, they couldn’t think of them all by themselves….

Comment on Renegade Craft Fair by Rob

I haven’t been to the Brooklyn event — but if the SF fair is a measure, extremely well attended. I believe it started in Chicago…

Hi!
I heard about Renegade from a friend. I am interested in participating in Brooklyn next year. I make really cool things from eggshells (framed art, figurines, florals). My craft is quite unique. Can you tell me how well attended the Brooklyn fair is??
Thanks!
