		<title>Benchmarking and code optimization in the browser: Emulators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: IE9pp4 gets 9710ms , still slowest The GameBoy emulator posted over at CodeBase is very impressive. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s borderline unusable on anything but Chrome. I know Chrome&#8217;s V8 engine is always reported to be the fastest JS Engine, but the difference is ridiculous. Fast Javascript means pleasing the Tracing algorithm built into browsers. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefox 4 AppTabs : Preparing with dynamic favicons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Firefox 4 is rapidly approaching release and there are numerous interface enhancements already included in the current nightlies. One is the addition of AppTabs; sticky tabs that remain at the left of your tab bar that are meant to serve as a place to keep your web &#8220;applications&#8221; like GMail or Twitter. There&#8217;s still a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Security: GMail vulnerability: Arbitrary script execution with SVG</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: this vulnerability has long been fixed. I was just waiting for the confirmation from Google. I could now tell a story of magic and wonder, how I spent day and night analyzing GMail and finally after weeks of hard work found this vulnerability. But the truth is that I was simply using GMail as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Javascript Object Notation is a strange beast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m never quite sure whether the Javascript Object Notation is a blessing or a curse. Of course, it does allow for quick creation of lists, but the way it is implemented I always find myself adding a few extra brackets just to make sure it is really treated as an object definition, not a code [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash 3D &#8211; a welcome fallback</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently Adobe is getting more and more comfortable with being a fallback for modern standards in out-of-date browsers. After adding VP8 to the list of supported codecs, they are apparently now working on 3D support. While we can be reasonably certain that Adobe wants to sell their approach to 3D as &#8220;unique&#8221; and will offer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update on the simplistic 3D renderer for Canvas 2D: TinyDim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Demo You control the demo mainly by left/right dragging the mouse, but some basic, unoptimized support for keyboard navigation is in there as well (Arrow Key/PgUp/PgDn). If you click on a face it will light up briefly and you can now enter a new color in the fields below the canvas. A guy named Luke [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dock-style zooming icon bar in pure HTML+CSS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: The initial post mentioned transforms, which were used in the initial version, but later replaced by simple absolute positioning. Demo An OSX-style icon bar in pure CSS, without any Javascript. Not much to say except: Enjoy This sample uses CSS transitions, meaning that it requires a Firefox 4 preview build. Webkit manages to do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fixing HTML5 YouTube&#8217;s fullscreen playback with AdBlock+</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t used AdBlock+ for quite a while&#8230; ever since I entered the realm of Flash-less web browsing thanks to Adobe&#8217;s inability to produce a 64 bit Windows version of the Flash plugin. However when Beta 1 of Firefox 4 was released I had to answer the question &#8220;Does AdBlock+ work?&#8221; quite often (the nightly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Texturing with Transform, without WebGL or Canvas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: I&#8217;ve checked it in Firefox 3.6.6 and to my surprise it works perfectly. Demo With the maturing of Direct2D support in Firefox I feel that it&#8217;s time to revisit transformations. Transformations let you rotate, skew and so on arbitrary elements on a page. They are relatively slow to do in software but really fast [...]]]></description>
