Safari 4, great until it CRASHES

July 8th, 2009 § 0

I admit, I should have written this article from good will and to praise Apple for their work on Safari 4, but alas it didn’t happen, until now.

Safari just crashed on me, the best thing about it, it doesn’t even seem to know that it crashed and it won’t save any tabs or windows you had open, no sir!

I think Apple is probably relying on the awesome History feature in the browser. Don’t get me wrong, I cannot emphasis how useful the new History feature is in Safari 4, but perhaps, just perhaps it’s not enough of a backup to recover from. For instance, although I can go back in history and see what web pages I have opened, problem occurs if you opened a few tabs and windows a long time ago and just never got to reading them. In this use case, to use the history to recover is, well, not doable especially since you might not even know what those other tabs and windows contained. Anyway, I should probably stop ranting now!

It’s unfortunate that we prefer to complain about something more than praise them. This post would have been much better if I wasn’t a little ticked off!

On an unrelated note, WordPress rocks! Go WordPress.

HCI (Scratch Input)

November 29th, 2008 § 0

An amazing technology that allows a user to interact with a computer (including phone, of course) by scratching surfaces. I wonder if such technology can be used record the blackboard content as a teacher writes on it (thus scratching it). This is brilliant, either way.
