It looks like a competitor. Pik has a UI that's in the browser window rather than a pop-up prompt, which allows you to search for commands. Pik also shows you what commands are popular on a given site/page, which makes it easier to discover commands.

Most of this feedback is technical; can someone comment on whether they would use this or some future iteration of this project?

I just installed it. I don't know how much I will use it, but it's definitely something I would use, if that makes sense. Readability, bugmenot and google cache are all things that I've never bothered to make easy before.

Definitely not if I have to click it every time I want to use it. I think this would be better suited as a browser plug-in.

Try closing the notification and using it anyways. I'm whitelisting browsers that work and I haven't gotten around to all of them.

Thanks, I'll look into it. It's working for me on Chrome 5.0.342.9 on OSX.

It's a chrome bug as far as I know. He'll just have to wait until the dev builds are updated to fix this problem.

Haha, unfortunately I didn't know that. Reminds me of how I looked up "Bing" in a chinese dictionary and found that it means "disease."

I will add that to my whitelist. You should be able to close the warning and continue.

I'm whitelisting OS/Browser combos, and I haven't added linux yet.

I'm using Chromium 4.0.299.0 (36335) on my Mac and I get that popup too.

According to jeresig, author of jQuery, one should not perform browser detection, instead you should use feature detection. Browser agent is not going to give you an accurate picture of what is supported because every browser likes to say they are mozilla/webkit/netscape/etc.

Also add Namoroka and Minefield, test versions of Firefox. Instead of whitelisting, can't you run some test code client-side and only prompt when you're sure the browser doesn't support it?

I enjoyed hearing them talk about tablets, given that was ~3 years before the iPad launch. (I believe most of that conversation occurred in part 5)

The tablet bill gates is talking about is the tablet pc, and I think the tablet pc editions of XP were shipping in 2001/2.

Ink is microsoft's handwriting recognition software.

Yep, see: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~zf/papers/keyboard-ccs05.pdf

Eat less. I've also heard it's good for your health to eat less if you can.

One of the common themes I hear from people who come to the US from overseas is that food portions are quite large here.

My understanding is the prices are high because there's an oligopoly. To have competition, all the major browsers would have to agree to let in more companies, and they're just not doing that.

Sorry, but that's incorrect. The major browsers will let you in - you just have to pass all their audits, comply to all their regulations, and commonly have a WebTrust audit....which can set you back mid-$xx,xxx. All browsers/OSs are accepting new roots all the time - check the Mozilla dev lists/Bugzilla and you'll see.

You also have to wait about 5 years before you will have the 99%-99.9% browser support that customers require.
