7 and Point 5 Questions
So… Both myself and Tommy Park decided to rip off— I mean, err, do what Mr. Oxton did and do Seven and a Half Questions. We’re shameless.

Buahahahahaa… This shall be fun. Right-o. So. Do tell… what do YOU think about this Apple and Intel fiasco?
I think it is a good move on Apple, business-wise. It was about time to get rid of the apple-worshipping-religious-geeks.
Hehe… Right on. Speaking of business moves… What do you think about Internet Explorer 7 and MS going back on its word when it said it WASN’T going to make another IE until Longhorn came out?
I’m happy to see that MS is actually making something decent… Last time I saw something decent from MS was when they released Windows 98 Second Edition…. Well, as for faking.. I think it was a desperate business move on Microsoft. Firefox is slowly dominating the browser market. However, Firefox has still a long way to go… and I don’t think IE7 will be as good as advertised.
And on the line of advertisement… Do you think IE7 will have much affect on the market since most Joe Q. Consumers hardly even know of its existance, much less care?
I think there will be some affect on regular customers. Now that Windows XP SP2 actually downloads updates automatically, by default, people should experience some different browsing experience. I think IE7 wasn’t really designed for the regular customers. First, the regular customers don’t care or don’t know much. Second, MS don’t care about them either, as long as they get good media attention. IE7 seemed more like an answer to the Web Standard/Design community about firefox, more like… “Hey! We know how to make one too!”
Well… I don’t see how it’s going to affect us web devs much, except for us having to deal with a browser with which we don’t know how much of an impact there’s going to be. But anyhoo, on to question 4… Did you really tell John Oxton to punch you in the face? :P
yes. I did. You can ask him.. or go see my new archive page! :) [Ed.’s note: Please see Tom’s entry about his email to Oxton for more info on this. :) ]
Oh my. And speaking of which… what really inspired you to do that minimal redesign? Was it another blog? Or just being fed up with images and headers and bandwidth?
As some of “ma people” know, I don’t like my own design after a few weeks…. So I thought, I’d go and redesign. Bandwidth, headers, images weren’t really my concern….. just my a** was a little itchy…. :P
Oh my, the language :P … Anyways. Moving back into a more web dev topic… What do you think of what will be CSS3? Specifically, the sIFR-type replacement abilities, multiple backgrounds, etc.?
Simple. Let us worry about proper CSS1 support before we even jump to CSS3 or CSS2… for that matter… Look at IE.
Good point. Stupid IE dragging us down. And for question 7… What do you think about Blogs? Specifically, their impact on life, how you view things, the way you get news, etc….
hehe. A few things. First, president of library of congress stated that blog is composed of random sentences without a purpose or a meaning. And further stated that it is hurting the traditional journalism. I think he is wrong about that. Although, most blogs are composed of random sentences, that doesn’t mean it is actually hurting proper journalism. I mean, if you look at it, it is not the blog’s fault. Rather, kids are getting more accessible to computers, and thus they are 1337 sp34king w/o proper grammar or sentence structure. Blogging is not all the problem. Second, for me, I think blogging is something that made me realize that I was a horrible writer. Before I started blogging, after learning English for only a few years, I thought I was amazing. But, blogging sorta gave me a revelation. But yea, it is a medium at which I try to write something without making any errors….. Third, as for news, I don’t get much news from Blogs. I think blogs are presenting gossips, not news. I like to sit down and listen to NPR or read the New York Times…. I dunno. I might be just… old… :D on that note. here is what i thought about blogs..
Bah. The New York Times… I can’t be bothered to read paper. Kidding, of course. But for the half question… Is Shaun Inman… ?
a bloody coward? yea. SHAUN! YOU ARE A BLOODY COWARD! Now. punch me in the face! :P
