Mozilla’s Take on Acid3 Test

For about a month now browser developers have been eyeing the new Acid3 test to see how they can push to meet the standards it tests for. Shortly after the test was released we took a look at how the browsers stacked up to each other, but none of them passed the test.

CyberNotes: Switch Between Multiple Site Logins

There was a lot of excitement when we wrote about the Greasemonkey script that could be used to switch between multiple Gmail accounts.
