countdown to Xbox 720 just begun?

Xbox Live’s head Larry Hyrb otherwise known as Major Nelson, posted a countdown on its blog to E3 2013. It counts the days until June 11 this year when the expo kicks off and the text says: And it’s on… Since the Xbox 360 is nearing the end of its cycle it just make sense we see the next generation announced this year. Nintendo already announced and launched its next-gen console – the Wii U. Sony has also spilled the beans on PlayStation 4, although we can only expect it to launch next year. Unlike previous years, Microsoft seems to push the PR for E3 quite early and I bet we’ll...

Free Gmail voice calls to US and Canada extended

The web-based VoIP client in Gmail was launched several months ago with free calls to the US and Canada until the end of 2010. Well, it’s either the Christmas mood or something else, I don’t know, but Google decided to extend those free calls through the whole 2011. Sadly, as before, you’ll be charged when calling outside those two. And even if Google’s rates are pretty reasonable you still need to pay for calls to destinations other than the US and Canada. By the way, Skype’s counter-offer isn’t too shabby either. The Skype app on my computer greeted me today with a reminder that I...

Cross Browser XMLHttpRequest Explained

Modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE7+, Opera, and Safari), include a native XMLHttpRequest object for creating AJAX requests. However, we often want to support IE6 as well, and that requrires using an ActiveXObject instead of a native XMLHttpRequest object (note, IE5 and IE5.5 are obsolete and should no longer be supported). But there is often some confusion revolving around which version(s) of MSXML to use to support IE6. Microsoft has release several versions of MSXML, but only...

Archive for the ‘HTML’ Category External links and the target attribute

I like external pages to open in a new window. So that my page stays open. But target attribute is deprecated. If you want to validate the XHTML pages, it would result in errors. The thought behind it was to allow the user to decide for himself if he want to open a new tab or if he want to go on in the same tab. Often times users just click on the link without thinking about it. Sometimes as a web programmer it’s just too convenient to simply add ‘target=”_blank”‘ to external links. Quick and dirty. There is a Javascript-solution, though. The page itself is XHTML valid, but the behavior...

HTC One

Eschewing the ever growing screen sizes of alternatives, HTC has stuck with the 4.7in screen size of last year’s HTC One X. But that’s the least of it, what’s really surprising is that HTC has actually downgraded the camera from 8MP to a mere 4MP – a far cry from the 13MP of the Xperia Z for instance.
