Here you could automatically arrange album photos by "Date" or "Name" in ascending or descending order, but it wasn't very clear what date we were referring to: the upload date or the date the photos were taken.This is why we've now changed the "Date" to "Upload date"; rearranging photos by date has always referred to the…

27 Apr 2012 | 2:15 amSo, we announce that a pretty radical and innovative feature, the one that was going to turn the Web upside-down, will no longer be supported in its current form. The response is mostly silence.Then we announce that we will ship a trivial workaround to a common and destructive author error... and there is great drama on Twitter.Positive takeaway: there are more concerned and caring web developers around than Opera Unite users (and they probably form some of Twitter's best connected users). The negative? I'm disappointed that we didn't figure out how to tap Unite's… -
Slashdot runs out of slashes
29 Mar 2012 | 6:18 amQ: What's this? A: It's what Slashdot looks like in Opera 11.50.Q: Why is it broken?A: Apparently they ran out of forward slashes during the work on the last update? Here's their HTML:<a class="btn link slashtvico" href="http://tv.slashdot.org"><span>SlashTV<span></a>The "SlashTV" link is supposed to be an icon and thus they use a quirky combination of styles to hide all the text inside it and display an image instead (this is a technique known as CSS image replacement). Since they didn't close the tag properly, the… -
Debugging Maps. Google Maps.

A word of warning: we're going deep into the internals of one of the web's most important siteapps - Google Maps - and it gets both extremely technical, extremely long-winded and extremely tedious. It really took more than one calendar week to figure out this problem. Consider yourself warned..

web browsing as forensic evidence in Norwegian murder case
15 Dec 2011 | 6:23 pmA very peculiar murder is being investigated by the Norwegian police, known as the "Skøyen homocide" after the Oslo region where it happened. Basically a man was killed with a knife in a garage, he had no known enemies and there is no obvious motive. The police investigation so far has made the police believe that one of the neighbours did it. There is some technical evidence, specialists claim a knife the neighbour owns is "more likely to be the murder weapon than not be the murder weapon", and there are assumptions based on his computing activity on that day. Basically,…

Web Animations, towards a Web 2.1
13 Feb 2012 | 3:12 amSVG Animation (based on SMIL) and CSS Animation offer some similar features for animating Web content. Harmonising these two technologies has been considered on a number of occasions but a path forward has yet to be established. In response to a feature-by-feature comparison of the two technologies the question was raised, “What are the animation features required, prioritised by use case?” (Meeting minutes which lead to Action-48) although a closely related question was, “What would it take to make CSS Animations achieve feature parity with SVG Animations?”From face-to-face meeting… -
The day I lost my trust in Gmail...
31 Aug 2011 | 12:02 am...was the day (today) when I got the message on yellow background that "your draft has been discarded". Exactly what led to this event I don't know, Gmail didn't tell, was it a keypress in the wrong area of the screen, or a connectivity glitch, or a Google employee deciding that "yes, I do want to be evil", I simply do not know.Trust builds up slowly, once lost it is rarely regained. In those early days after the April 1 non-joke, trust came readily to Gmail. For me it started with my favourite four-letter word, "Undo". Commonplace client-side, web… -

CSS 2.1 Solid Soon?

I recapped the story in an almost four year earlier entry, Cruelly Slow Slog, a slog that cruelly continued for four more years. 11 years of labour is not bad for what was intended as a quick fix.Heaping on the irony, a new working…

Opera Mobile Emulator build with experimental WebKit prefix support
27 Apr 2012 | 9:26 amThrough our site compatibility work, we have experienced that many site authors only use -webkit- prefixed CSS, thereby ignoring other vendor prefixes and not even including an unprefixed equivalent. This leads to a reduced user experience on non-WebKit browsers, as they don't receive the same shiny effects, even although they support them. To tackle this problem, we are releasing an experimental Opera Mobile Emulator build with experimental support for selected -webkit- prefixes. -

Social media banking
11 May 2012 | 11:37 amHave a look at this screenshot:Do you notice the social media buttons? As far as I can tell, this site is a bank. They've decided to sprinkle the cool magic of social media across their site, with buttons from Google Plus, Twitter and Facebook. Of course, in order to do so their highly secure site must run JavaScript delivered over HTTPS from platform.twitter.com, apis.google.com and connect.facebook.net right inside their own page, plus include IFRAMEs from s-static.ak.facebook.com, platform.twitter.com, www.facebook.com and plusone.google.com - meaning that an XSS problem or compromise… -

27 Apr 2012 | 2:15 amSo, we announce that a pretty radical and innovative feature, the one that was going to turn the Web upside-down, will no longer be supported in its current form. The response is mostly silence.Then we announce that we will ship a trivial workaround to a common and destructive author error... and there is great drama on Twitter.Positive takeaway: there are more concerned and caring web developers around than Opera Unite users (and they probably form some of Twitter's best connected users). The negative? I'm disappointed that we didn't figure out how to tap Unite's potential. I… -
Slashdot runs out of slashes
29 Mar 2012 | 6:18 amQ: What's this? A: It's what Slashdot looks like in Opera 11.50.Q: Why is it broken?A: Apparently they ran out of forward slashes during the work on the last update? Here's their HTML:<a class="btn link slashtvico" href="http://tv.slashdot.org"><span>SlashTV<span></a>The "SlashTV" link is supposed to be an icon and thus they use a quirky combination of styles to hide all the text inside it and display an image instead (this is a technique known as CSS image replacement).

Debugging Maps. Google Maps.
19 Mar 2012 | 10:33 pmI'll try to recount what turned into the most longwinded debugging of a single problem I can remember. A word of warning: we're going deep into the internals of one of the web's most important siteapps - Google Maps - and it gets both extremely technical, extremely long-winded and extremely tedious. It really took more than one calendar week to figure out this problem. Consider yourself warned..

web browsing as forensic evidence in Norwegian murder case
15 Dec 2011 | 6:23 pmA very peculiar murder is being investigated by the Norwegian police, known as the "Skøyen homocide" after the Oslo region where it happened. Basically a man was killed with a knife in a garage, he had no known enemies and there is no obvious motive. The police investigation so far has made the police believe that one of the neighbours did it. There is some technical evidence, specialists claim a knife the neighbour owns is "more likely to be the murder weapon than not be the murder weapon", and there are assumptions based on his computing activity on that day. Basically,…

As you can see, it involves a System Restore item. I've seen this type item once before and thought it might have somethng to do with the presence of the HJT, OTL, & DDS programs on my computer. I placed exclusions within OSS, SAS & MBAM for these programs. On a previous occasion when OSS displayed a System Restore item in Quarantine I restored it & ran an MBAM scan.

OLE Control fails on x64 !!!

I've testet with Flank and the test failed. First I thought it was my fault. I changed settings and testet again and again.

Nicholas Nethercote: MemShrink progress, week 47–48
16 May 2012 | 1:26 amAdd-ons The main news in the past two weeks has been about Kyle Huey’s patch that prevents most chrome-to-content leaks, which are the most common kind of add-on leak. Testing showed it worked beautifully, but caused a knock-on leak in add-ons built with old versions (1.3 and earlier) of the Add-on SDK. (This received a lot of attention.) Kyle then made a slight tweak that fixed that knock-on leak. So we’re currently still on track for Firefox 15 being “the one that fixes add-on leaks”. For completeness, here are the add-ons that we know were temporarily affected by that… -

SDK developer Matteo Feretti ( aka ZER0 ) is speaking at JSDay in Verona tomorrow – let’s all wish him luck! Quick Stats Total open… -
