With the latest releases of Opera, Google Chrome and Firefox continuing to push the boundaries of the web, the once-dominant Internet Explorer is looking less and less relevant every day. But we should expect Microsoft to go on the offensive at its upcoming MIX 2010 developer conference in Las Vegas, where, it has been speculated, the [...]

The latest beta release of Google Chrome adds a slew of much needed privacy and content controls — as well as automatic page translation — to Google’s fast, but slightly feature-deficient browser. The new features — which put Chrome on par with other browsers when it comes to privacy controls — are so far only available [...]

Opera software has released Opera 10.5 for Windows, boasting that it’s “the fastest browser on Earth.” We took the beta version for a test drive last month and found that it is indeed snappy, besting Safari 4, Firefox 3.6 and even Google’s speedy Chrome browser in our informal testing. Now that the final release is [...]

Mozilla’s Firefox web browser was one of the first to optimize for today’s JavaScript-heavy web pages. Mozilla’s new Tracemonkey JavaScript engine — released with Firefox 3.5 — put the browser at the top of most page rendering speed tests. But lately, Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari and the coming Opera 10.5 have been beating Firefox at [...]

In an ideal world, the web would have a built-in identity solutions — websites would automatically know who you are when you arrive. In the real world, however, almost every website has its own sign up and authentication process, endless forms enticing you to enter your name, your e-mail, pick a password… yawn, what [...]

Google’s premiere developer event is coming up in just a couple of months, and we’ve got two passes to give away. Google I/O takes place on May 19th and 20th at Moscone Center in San Francisco. It’s the company’s largest developer event, with hundreds of sessions and demos of all the latest Google tech. Plus, there [...]

Opera software has released the second beta for the company’s upcoming Opera 10.5 for Windows and the first beta for Mac users. Mac users can grab the latest beta from the Opera website, the Windows beta 2 release remains, for now, an FTP download. While the Opera web browser may not have the largest market share, it [...]

Google has pushed six of its Gmail experiments out of the Lab and into Gmail proper. Handy tools like the forgotten attachment detector, search auto-complete, vacation dates, custom label colors and in-mail previews of YouTube videos are all now standard Gmail features. The features Google moved from Labs to Gmail proper feel a bit arbitrary — [...]

Google will soon control the patents around the VP8 video codec, one possible alternative to H.264 for web video. And the leaders of the free software movement are banging their drum, urging the company to ditch those patents and offer the new video technology for free. Shareholders of the video company On2 have approved an acquisition [...]

Mozilla’s Spring Design Challenge, which encourages designers to rethink the Firefox homepage, has entered its final phase. The top ten “people’s choice” designs are now up for a second round of voting. To vote for your favorites, head over to the People’s Choice voting page (note that you’ll need a Mozilla Labs account to vote). The [...]

Internet Explorer lags well behind its rivals when it comes to supporting the latest emerging web standards. Not only is that bad for IE’s users, but Microsoft, once an innovator (one of the single most useful standards for today’s web, XMLHttpRequest, began life at Microsoft), isn’t even part of the discussion any more. We’re hoping to see [...]

John Wall sank two free throws with 20 seconds left and then had a big blocked shot for No. 2 Kentucky.

Reggie Jackson, making his first start of the season at point guard, scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half Saturday to lift the Eagles to a 71-67 win over the struggling Tar Heels.

No. 18 Butler defeated Siena, 70-53, to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 17 games.

Microsoft’s Dave Heiner posted the above image on his official blog at Microsoft Friday. It’s the first test of the system that will let users decide which browser they’d like to use, as per the European Union’s mandate on Microsoft. Users in Europe — and only in Europe — running Windows XP, Vista and Windows [...]

Say what you will about the aesthetics of rounded corners in web design, the reality is you’re probably going to have to implement them some day. It used to be that rounded corners required four separate images. Then came a clever trick that used just one circular image. But creating rounded corners was still a pain [...]

Mozilla Labs has announced the release of JetPack 0.8, an update to its new, lightweight extensions framework for Firefox. Jetpack lets people use common web tools like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build Firefox add-ons. The latest release of JetPack brings two new APIs in the fold; the Toolbar API, which lets JetPack developers place custom [...]

Ian Hickson, head of one of the standards groups charged with creating HTML5, caused quite a stir over the weekend when he alleged that Adobe was trying to block HTML5. Adobe quickly denied the charge, but not quickly enough for the open web evangelists to grab their pitchforks and take to blogs in anger. After all, [...]

Opera 10.5 beta on the desktop. Opera has released the first beta for Opera 10.5, boasting that it’s “the fastest browser on Earth.” We took a copy for a spin and found that it is indeed snappy, besting Safari 4 and Firefox 3.6 in our informal testing. At the moment the Opera 10.5 beta is available for [...]

With all the fervor over HTML5 video, the death of Flash and the future of open video on the web we thought it might be helpful to ask the man who proposed the HTML5 video tag for his opinion on the matter. It shouldn’t be any great surprise that Opera CTO Hakon Lie — famous for [...]

Tuesday saw the debut of Google Buzz, a new service for sharing status updates, links and media with your friends. It’s currently being rolled out to the public slowly — you can sign up at buzz.google.com — but we’ve had access to Buzz since shortly after it launched, and I’ve had a chance to play [...]

Google debuted Buzz Tuesday morning, its latest product for sharing links, media and status updates with your friends. Buzz is fully integrated with Gmail’s inbox. You can go to buzz.google.com and turn it on right now if you’re a Gmail user. Buzz is more than a little bit like Twitter — and a whole lot like Facebook [...]

Barry Almeida scored to give Boston College a three-goal third-period lead and the Eagles held off a late charge from Boston University to win, 4-3, and claim the 58th Beanpot championship Monday.

Bit.ly recently unveiled a new service, Bit.ly Pro, which makes it very simple to host your own custom-branded short URL. The basic Bit.ly Pro service, which is in the free beta stage for now, allows you to set up a short domain and then point that domain to the Bit.ly servers. From there Bit.ly Pro works [...]

Want to see all your open Firefox tabs on your iPhone? There may soon be an app for that. There’s already a demo app and a code library that will let someone build an app for that, thanks to Mozilla’s recent efforts to extend Weave, its syncing tool for Firefox, to devices like the [...]

The developers of Firebug, the popular Firefox add-on for web developers, have released a new beta of Firebug Lite, the lightweight version of Firebug that works in any browser. This new version is a significant update to Firebug Lite. While the full power of Firebug still requires Firefox (see our coverage of the recently released Firebug [...]

Every post on Webmonkey gets an image, and more times than not, we need to crop those images. I usually hate cropping photos. Back when I was working as a marketing designer, I’d have to crop and mangle beautiful photos to fit them onto a retail package or squeeze them into a banner ad. It sometimes [...]

As if the web’s video codec issues weren’t complex enough, the group that controls the licensing and royalties for the H.264 video codec has announced that H.264 will remain royalty-free until the end of 2016. One the surface it sounds like a good thing — at least until 2016, you’re free to post H.264 videos on [...]

A Mozilla engineer has posted the first screenshot of the Firefox web browser running on Android. Mozilla’s Vladimir Vukicevic is currently working on porting the mobile version of the Firefox browser to Google’s mobile operating system. The first results, seen in the screenshot above, were posted to Vukicevic’s personal blog Tuesday. This means that, yes, a full, [...]

He waited a few days to make his point, but Adobe’s head software honcho has thrown a bucket of water onto the “Death of Flash” fire. In a blog post Tuesday, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch responded to Apple’s recent criticisms of the Flash platform and warns that a switch to HTML5 would throw users and content [...]

Flash might not be disappearing overnight, but there’s no denying that HTML5 is gaining momentum every day, particularly when it comes to web video. YouTube and Vimeo both recently announced support for browser-native video through HTML5, joining other, smaller web video sites that already supported HTML5. But while HTML5 video is here, it isn’t quite ready [...]

Boston College and Boston University will play in the Beanpot final next Monday.

The arrival of the Apple iPad is still months away, and already the tech pundits are declaring the demise of Flash. The view is based largely on the fact that the iPad, like the iPhone, will likely not support Adobe’s plug-in, but it’s also a result of the enthusiasm surrounding the current momentum of HTML5. The [...]

Derwin Kitchen hit Florida State’s only 3-pointer of the game in the closing minute and Solomon Alabi scored 16 points, lifting the visiting Seminoles to a scrappy win over Boston College.

From the weekend desk, two items announced late Friday afternoon we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about. First, Google is officially dropping support for IE6. Come March 1st, the company is also going to start phasing out support for other older browsers from Apple, Mozilla and Google itself, but IE6 is the one everyone’s [...]

Derwin Kitchen hit Florida State’s only 3-pointer of the game in the closing minute and Solomon Alabi scored 16 points, lifting the visiting Seminoles to a scrappy win over Boston College.

It’s official, your Firefox syncing prayers have been answered — Weave 1.0 has arrived. Weave is a free add-on for Firefox that syncs your data — bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, Personas and stored passwords — across multiple PCs running Firefox and supported mobile devices. Weave is currently an add-on available through Mozilla Labs, but [...]

It’s currently quite fashionable to say Flash’s days are numbered — click around on the tech blogs and you’ll see. The marketplace is certainly lining up against it. The iPad doesn’t run Flash. Same with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Major video sites are switching from the Flash Player to HTML5 video. Google and Mozilla are [...]

Think that turning off cookies and turning on private browsing makes you invisible on the web? Think again. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has launched a new web app dubbed Panopticlick that reveals just how scarily easy it is to identify you out of millions of web users. The problem is your digital fingerprint. Whenever you visit [...]

In response to Apple’s iPad product announcement Wednesday, Adobe has posted a message to its Flash Platform blog assuring developers they’ll be able to use Adobe’s Flash authoring tools to build iPad apps. Developers are currently able to publish almost any project built using ActionScript 3 into a native iPhone or iPod Touch application using a [...]

We were half-expecting Twitter to break entirely when Steve Jobs took the stage Wednesday morning to announce the new Apple iPad. It was a little slow, but it didn’t break. The New York Times’ Labs website was tracking all Apple-related Tweets in real time during the event. A screenshot is shown above — a simple page [...]

Those of you itching for a simple command-line interface to control your favorite web apps now have several different choices.

Google has added two much-requested features to its Chrome web browser: extensions support and bookmark syncing between multiple computers. The features are included in the latest version of Google Chrome, which was made available Monday as a free download. The update, which curiously does not carry a version number, is for Windows users only. Mac and [...]

Faithful users of Mozilla’s Ubiquity add-on for Firefox found the extension broken when they updated to the latest version of Firefox, which was released Thursday. You read that right, Mozilla’s own add-on hasn’t been updated to work with Firefox 3.6. In fact, Ubiquity, an innovative add-on that allows you to interact with maps, Twitter, YouTube and [...]

Google is now offering up YouTube videos using HTML5’s next generation video tag. But this advancement is only available to those surfing with Chrome or Safari — Firefox and Opera users need not apply. YouTube’s HTML5 video support effectively eliminates the need for Adobe’s Flash plugin for viewing videos on the site. The move comes in [...]

Mozilla has unleashed Firefox 3.6, the next version of the popular ope source web browser. The new and improved Firefox 3.6 is now available as a free download for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Firefox 3.6 is very nearly a done deal. Mozilla has pushed out a second release candidate and Mike Beltzner, Mozilla’s Director of Firefox, tells Webmonkey that the final browser release should arrive by the end of January. That’s great news for Firefox fans, but it also typically brings a bit of letdown with it — all [...]

Popular Ajax library jQuery is celebrating its fourth birthday with a major new release — JQuery 1.4. JQuery has long had a devoted following among interface designers. Proponents tout its speed and lightweight structure which make it easy to integrate complex effects with only a few lines of code. Google, Microsoft, Amazon and independent web developers [...]

The future of the web is fast approaching. HTML5, the successor to today’s HTML 4, the lingua franca of the web, has reached the Last Call stage and is beginning to look like a finished spec. While it will be some time before HTML5 can be called complete, forward-thinking browsers already support much of the [...]

Mozilla’s Weave, a free add-on for Firefox that syncs your personal data across multiple PCs and mobile devices, has reached the release candidate stage and is just about ready to make its way into Firefox proper.

Aza Raskin, head of user experience at Mozilla, is leading a charge to make privacy settings more explicit to users by creating visual cues in the browser. Raskin’s idea uses a set of small icons to denote the limits of a website’s privacy policy. Raskin likens the idea to how Firefox (and [...]

Google has announced details for the next Google I/O, the company’s largest developer event. It runs May 19 and 20, 2010, at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Registration is $400 now, but the price goes up to $500 a month before the event, so register early. Students and faculty can get in for $100, but [...]

Soon, you’ll be able to pull your favorite website — like Gmail or YouTube — out of the web browser and run it as a stand-alone application on your computer’s desktop. Mozilla has announced that its Prism software, one such technology that makes it easy to run web apps on your desktop, is very [...]

If you want to know what a chorus of angry Firefox users sounds like, just make them think you’re taking away their browser add-ons. A blog post from Mozilla’s Mike Connor, one of the company’s key browser developers, made waves Saturday and Sunday in the Firefox world for suggesting that scenario. While Connor didn’t explicitly [...]

Mozilla has announced the first release candidate of the next Firefox web browser. This latest pre-release build of Firefox 3.6 has seen numerous bug fixes since beta 5, including the usual improvements in browser performance and stability.

Professor Daly made worldwide headlines a decade ago after she retired from Boston College rather than admit men to some of her classes.

Even with all the support OpenID enjoys within the tech industry, it’s no secret that the identity management technology still confuses the hell out of most web users. One of OpenID’s biggest proponents thinks part of the problem lies in the name. Identity guru and noted open source advocate Chris Messina breaks it down in a post [...]

It’s often said that you can’t kill an open source project. The logic behind that maxim is that, as long as the source code is out there and freely available, someone will always show up to work on it, add to it, improve it. Indeed, that’s often the motivation behind releasing a project under an open [...]

It’s looking like Firefox 3.6 will miss its 2009 release goal, but the browser should arrive shortly after the start of the new year. Firefox 3.6, currently in the final beta-release stages, will arrive in the first quarter of 2010, according to Mozilla Wiki. The slight delay is having a ripple effect, however, because future Firefox [...]

Mozilla Labs has announced the release of JetPack 0.7, an update to the new extensions framework for Firefox. It lets people use common web development tools like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build browser add-ons. Eventually, Mozilla plans to incorporate JetPack into a future Firefox release.  JetPack will most likely make its way into Firefox 3.7, [...]

In many cases, web design begins in an image editor. A designer mocks something up in Photoshop (or some similar tool) and that design is eventually translated into HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create a live website. But why do we work this way? It violates one of the fundamental tenets of good design, that design [...]

HTML5 is changing more than just websites — it’s changing the capabilities of browsers, as well. For example, a very clever use of the HTML5 canvas tag allows developer Heather Arthur’s Rainbow color scheme add-on for Firefox to extract a color palette from any webpage. Because browser add-ons — those in Firefox and Chrome anyway — [...]

If you’ve got ideas about how the Firefox home page should look, now is the time to let Mozilla know. The company is hosting a new design challenge focusing on how to improve the home tab for Firefox 4.0. The current plan for Firefox 4.0 is to move the home button down into the tab bar [...]

This pre-alpha release is currently only available [...]

Firefox has finally achieved one of its main goals, surpassing Internet Explorer as the most popular web browser. This latest shift is illustrated by a new batch of browser share stats from analytics firm StatCounter, which is making the rounds on tech news blogs Tuesday. There is, however, one big catch to StatCounter’s numbers — to arrive [...]

Twitter’s API has spawned hundreds of mashups and third party software apps, but now it’s growing even further — outside sites have begun mimicking an API to piggyback on Twitter clients. It started last week with a clever hack by WordPress contributors which allows WordPress.com users to post and read their WordPress.com blogs through third-party Twitter [...]

Mozilla has released the fifth, and reportedly last, beta version of the next Firefox browser. Firefox 3.6 has seen more than 100 bugfixes since beta 4, including improvements in Firefox’s performance, stability, and security.

In a post on the Google Mobile blog, the Gmail team highlights the various optimizations it has steadily been building into the mobile version of the webmail site. The result is a Gmail web app that exhibits many of [...]

Earlier this month, Craigslist blocked Yahoo Pipes from accessing any Craigslist page. As a result, mashups all over the web were suddenly without data. After not responding to inquires, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster eventually posted a terse message on the company’s blog saying that Yahoo Pipes mashups were using “a disproportionate amount of server/bandwidth resources.”Now it [...]

Mozilla has bumped Personas to version 2.0. The company has upgraded its set of lightweight themes for Firefox in anticipation of Firefox 3.6, which will be the first version of the browser to support Personas out of the box.

OpenID, the single sign-on solution which allows you to use a unified identity across the web, now boasts one billion potential users. Providers like Google, Yahoo, WordPress and dozens more mean that nearly everyone on the web has easy access to an OpenID account. OpenID lets you log in to your favorite website using only your [...]

Migrating a web site from one domain to another is never easy. You’ll probably lose whatever Google ranking your old pages had, possibly break incoming links and generally disrupt the flux capacitor of the web. Of course, there are occasionally good reasons to move your content and now there are some new ways to let Google [...]

Webmonkey got the chance to sit down with Dan McComas (aka kickme444), creator of the amazing Reddit Secret Santa program, for an exclusive interview. Since launching http://redditgifts.com a month ago on November 16, around 5,000 participants from the Reddit community have taken part in what is believed to be the largest Secret Santa program ever. We [...]

Now that modern browsers are stepping up with better support for CSS 3, web designers have even more powerful transforms to play with. Page elements can be animated, rotated or otherwise transformed in ways that previously weren’t possible, or at least required complex JavaScript. Of course, browser support is still somewhat limited in “the real world,” [...]

Given the rapid proliferation of URL-shortening services of late, it was only a matter of time before Google got into the game. Now the company has debuted its own URL-shortening service at the new domain goo.gl. (That’s the top-level domain of Greenland, by the way; its awesome coat of arms is above). At launch, goo.gl integrates with [...]

Google Translate has rolled a out several new features, and one of them lets you hear your translated English text spoken by a computerized voice. For maximum cross-browser compatibility, Google Translate embeds text-to-speech mp3s using Flash.

In the current browser wars, just as in rounds past, Internet Explorer is the agreed-upon common target. Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox and, though it’s less vocal about it, Apple’s Safari, are all after IE’s vast market share much more so than each others’. But Google has recently been touting a new capability in Chrome that was [...]

Apple is getting ready to bring its iTunes Store to a web browser near you. So says The Wall Street Journal. Citing the ever-vague, “people familiar with the matter,” the WSJ claims a browser-based iTunes Store — built from Lala.com, recently acquired by Apple — could arrive early next year. Moving to an online, browser-based music experience [...]

MySpace has thrown open its doors to app developers, giving them real time access to all MySpace users’ activities via a new suite of APIs. Now, every time Jenny friends somebody, posts a photo or writes a blog post, you’ll be able to make that notification show up in your app mere seconds after it happens. The [...]

It’s always been easy to export individual documents from Google Docs. But if you had a lot of documents to export, it was a time-consuming task — the web app only let you export one document at a time. Thankfully, Google Docs has added a batch export tool that allows you to export all your documents [...]

Google has made the first betas of its Chrome web browser available for Mac and Linux users, the company announced Tuesday. Here are the links for Mac and Linux.

Most developers are probably familiar with Linux founder Linus Torvalds’ motto: “release early, release often.” The reason is quite simple: Shipping something useful is better than withholding that usefulness until it’s reached perfection. Of course, there are exceptions. If you’re developing flight control software or a heart monitor interface, we sincerely hope you do not ship [...]

After dropping out of the Associated Press top 25 for the first time in eight years, U.S.C. accepted a bid to play Boston College in the Emerald Bowl.

If you’ve ever looked at a common web technology, protocol, service or piece of internet infrastructure and wondered aloud if Google was working on its own better, faster version of it, rest assured that the answer is almost always, “yes.” The company announced Thursday that it is launching a public domain name system (DNS) service. On [...]

Good web developers know that even the most beautifully designed page is worthless if it takes too long to load. To help you optimize your pages, Google has announced a new Labs feature in Google Webmaster Tools designed to track page load speed. The new Site Performance tool is one part tracking and stats tool, and [...]
