Connected Internet Over Time

Connected Internet is approaching it’s 2nd birthday.  I thought it’d be interesting to use the Internet Archive WaybackMachine to see what the site looked like in the past.  I was really shocked.  I’m not saying my site looks exactly how I want it to now, but the old versions were awful.

Googles Makes Translations Look Easy

I remember when I first started using babelfish in 1998 when I was working in Corporate Finance and I constantly had to translate Finnish, Swedish, Danish and German documents and webpages into English. The translation was good enough to get the gist but in some cases it came up with gibberish.

Will Mozilla Ever Be Suitable For The Mass Market?

I’m beginning to question whether Firefox/Mozilla is really suited to the mass market. Firefox/Mozilla is designed for those users who want to customise their browsing experience - I don’t think the basic user will want to do this.
