AH! Google’s browser - Chrome - is out - while waiting for the linux version, I downloaded a copy on the Win XP test machine, to see what is the fuzz all about. And of course I had to share some preliminary thoughts on the news of the month.
As promised in a previous post (Bad experience with POS payment terminals), and after the vacation break, I am uploading a visual review of (some) POS payment terminals. The document is not menat to be comprehensive, but rather illustrative and - more importantly - “open”. By open I mean that I will update it [...]
Last night I was going to visit the Technorati site so manage some blogs I have registered over there. It was a first time login with the new laptop, and in the old I had stored the password in Firefox password manager. Hence I tried a password being unsure if it was the correct one.

Firstly, I must say it has improved substantially with this new UI and, especially, with some new interaction. In particular, the interaction for deleting and for commenting, which is now Ajax-based, avoids lengthy page reloads, and works much better. [...]
A friend of mine gave me and my wife an interesting present some time ago:
