Last week we took a look at where the various browsers stood up against each other in terms of market share. I was shocked (to say the least) when Internet Explorer triumphantly came out on top with a 1.22% market share increase. That really hit hard for Firefox who's market share was sent spiraling down to 16.96%, which was nearly a percent lower than the previous month.

And so April 2008 has come to an end, which means it's time to take a look at how the browsers stack up against each other once again. Who's rising, who's falling, and who can't catch a break? I think some of the stats might surprise you!

We're not quite sure how many of you out there are iPhone owners, but our guess is that there's at least a good handful of you who will be able to benefit from free Wi-Fi for your phone.

It's been a month since Apple started distributing their Safari browser to Windows users with rather questionable practices. Anyone that had either QuickTime or iTunes installed would receive a prompt stating that there was a Safari "update" available, regardless of whether it had ever been installed on the machine. That didn't go over too well with the online community.

Remember how Apple is pushing out Safari to anyone with iTunes or QuickTime installed? The "update" notification was really starting to get on my nerves. I swear I was getting prompted at least once a week to install Safari, and that was regardless of whether I unchecked the box.

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. Then just last week both Opera and Safari released test builds that demonstrate their compliance.

One of the things that I've always enjoyed in Safari 3 is the inline search interface, and just the other day I thought I would peruse around the Internet trying to find a way to do the same thing in Firefox. Why is searching special in Safari? Because it dims the background of the page that you're on, and highlights the matching results as you type.

...not as good as I thought they would be. Apple brought Safari 3.1 out of Beta in the middle of March, and shortly after that they started to push Safari out to all of the Windows users who already had iTunes or QuickTime installed.

...brush your teeth, grab a cup of coffee, email a friend, or hack a MacBook Air. Just like last year the CanSecWest conference is currently going on, and tons of hackers cram in to see who can be the first to hack one of the laptops that are provided.

After all that talk about Apple pushing the Safari "update" on Windows users (here and here), as it turns out, it's actually "illegal" for Windows users to install it! Read the first sentence in the image below and you'll see what I mean:
