Clever Google hack to inject the Chrome/WebKit rendering engine into IE on a per-site basis. If users can be convinced to install this, it could make life easier for webdevs — but the implementation would have to be pretty seamless before I’d use this on a consumer website.
Panic’s newest app is aimed squarely at web-devs, attempting to roll “all” the stuff you need to build a website into one app. Looks interesting — I’m definitely guilty of needing about 7 windows open to do web development (a couple of TextMates, Firefox, Safari, a terminal or two). It’ll be interesting to see if this can bring it all together for me.
Good summary of the “competing” HTML/XHTML “standards”. There’s the engineering side of my brain that loves the ‘you have to close every tag’ tidyness of XHTML, but let’s face it, the pragmatic reverse-engineered-tag-soup approach of HTML5 is going to win this one.
Firebug-a-like for IE. If this works as advertised, it could be indispensable for cross-browser Javascriptery.
