Today is a special day. Some people will remember it as the day when Firefox 3.5 was released. I call it the day the web was upgraded. Stay tuned for announcements on mozilla.com soon!

lenovo.com – Another crappy website
How can the search engine on lenovo.com not be aware of its new Thinkpad — the T400s?
Microsoft – Making it easier
Remember back in 1984, when people were using Word to compose their e-mail messages that were sent around to colleagues and friends? We’ll chances are people will keep doing that in 2014 as well.
We’ve made the decision to continue to use Word for creating e-mail messages because we believe it’s the best e-mail authoring [...]
The stone has arrived!
The stone has arrived!, originally uploaded by David Tenser.
The huge project to create a beautiful garden is reaching its final stages. Early this morning, the stone tiles arrived. I’m in for a weekend with lots of non-Mozilla work…
Another poor website UX example: expressen.se
My blog post a couple of days ago about DI.se’s poor website UX was really just one example of websites that make use of “modern” features while failing to actually make them useful. expressen.se is another example, but for other reasons.
Similar to DI.se, they have a toolbar section for each article with functions like changing [...]
I fell in love with Geneva
It’s Midsummer Eve in Sweden and I finally got some time to reflect on the fantastic weekend I had in Geneva together with other members of the Mozilla community.

User experience and houseflies
As I mentioned previously, user experience (UX) design is one of my specific computer interests, and as the project lead for Mozilla’s Firefox support website, I obviously care a lot about website UX in particular.
One thing that keeps annoying me is how many websites are designed to make use of some “modern” features of the [...]
Thanks, Microsoft, for proving Mozilla’s relevance on the Internet
Part of Mozilla’s Manifesto:
The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.
Part of Microsoft’s “Ten Grand Is Buried Here” campaign (emphasis added):
If you’re the first to locate the buried ten grand, you keep it.
How will you know if you’ve found it? It’s a cleverly concealed webpage that only Internet Explorer 8 [...]
EU Inter-Community Meetup Tomorrow!
Tomorrow I’ll be traveling to Geneva for the first EU Inter-Community Meetup, arranged by no other than the hard-to-resist William Quiviger. I’m really looking forward to this event, which will focus on bringing together active communities from across Europe in the same city for a day of presentations, discussions and workshops. Also, I’ve never [...]
Firefox 3.5 — Upgrading the web once again
If you haven’t already, be sure to visit the coolest sub-domain of mozilla.org so far: hacks.mozilla.org.
The site was created to demonstrate what will be possible to do in Firefox 3.5 using open technologies. That is, technologies that are part of web standards like JavaScript and HTML — not proprietary plugins owned by single companies like, [...]
