Let's call this an "in case you missed it" edition of Browser Bits and Bobs, since I've been disgustingly busy and haven't posted anything in far too long. But for those who have been preoccupied by events outside the tech sector (MLB postseason, impending financial armageddon, talking chihuahuas, etc.): this ...

I cannot tell a lie. I hardly used Chrome this week. The problem, as I mentioned when I kicked off this Browser of the Week installment, is that my primary work computer is my Mac Book Air (from which I access my Mac Pro remotely to do development). I don't ...

As I mentioned last week, Google Chrome is a no-brainer for Browser of the Week, and I've gone ahead and installed it, configuring it as my default browser. The one hitch is that it only runs on Windows, and I am a Mac-only shop. I do have Parallels running on ...

September is here, and I'm slipping out of a mild off-season hibernation after a relatively laidback summer ("relative" being the operative word when you're coming off ten years of stressful startup life).
