Weppy brings WebP support to most Web browsers on Mac OS X (Download Squad)

Oct 7th 2010 6:16AM "considering the two images load in the same amount of time on a modern computer with a decent broadband connection, will anyone care but webmasters?"

People using dialup. People using PAYG broadband dongles. People using mobile internet. *Lots* of people care about data download sizes.

The new Internet craze: splitting hairs over fractional Web browser market share changes (Download Squad)

Oct 5th 2010 1:19PM Thank you for the most sensible article on this subject I've read in months - years, possibly.

Twitter aware of onMouseOver hack for months, claims 17-year-old who exposed it (Download Squad)

Sep 22nd 2010 10:53AM In Twitter's blog post explaining the situation (http://blog.twitter.com/2010/09/all-about-onmouseover-incident.html) they explain that they knew about the vulnerability and patched it last month, but the patch was accidentally over-written in a subsequent code revision.

Mozilla Ubiquity dies an incredibly quiet death (Download Squad)

Feb 20th 2010 10:03AM "Does this mean Ubiquity is dead? Not at all! It’s an open source project with a fairly large installed user base, and if you look at the Mercurial repository and the mailing list you can see that the community is still active fixing bugs and answering user’s questions."

Aug 13th 2008 2:00PM That's when the next Alpha was to be released, not the final browser.

A quick look at Kubuntu 8.04 Beta (Download Squad)

Apr 12th 2008 9:16PM Pretty funny, the way you got called on a bad review and yet somehow managed to have a pop at the people who called you on it.

Opera Mini 4.1 beta released (Download Squad)

Apr 2nd 2008 5:52PM Opera have NOT released Opera Mini 4.1, they have released Opera Mini 4.1 BETA; that is, pre-release software. You might want to mention that at some point.

Ubuntu Hardy: The latest and greatest or a total mess? (Download Squad)

Apr 1st 2008 11:19AM "Now, I know people are going to point out that this beta isn't meant for daily use, but that just doesn't cut the mustard." - Why not? If the development team say this isn't yet ready for use on production machines, why do you insist it should be?

It's pre-release software that is available for testing and providing feedback. The first release candidate will be out on April 17th, so at that point your criticisms would be justified. Until then, report any bugs you find and you'll help the whole process.

KDE 4: Beauty only gets you so far (Download Squad)

Jan 15th 2008 9:19AM This is precisely the reason Canonical have said Kubuntu 8.04 won't have long-term support; because KDE 4 isn't in good enough shape, and KDE 3.5 could well be obsolete in the near future.
