Mozilla 1.3 alpha and Opera 7 beta 2; blogging and the mainstream press
Two new browsers for you to play around with:

Dean Allen’s Textile; inside HotBot’s new design
Interrupting the overworked-induced silence to point to Dean Allen’s great typography tool, and a new all-CSS design at HotBot (my one-time search engine of choice). Those interested in corporate site development and how things come to be, should read Doug Bowman’s inside-look at the development of HotBot’s new design

Russell Mills, CanWest make-up; intermediate design guide
You may remember how Russell Mills was dismissed from CanWest allegedly for publishing an article questioning one of the owner’s friends (i.e., Jean Chrétien). Seems they’ve kissed and made-up.

Growing Google
Looking at some of the newest offerings and experiments from the search engine with the funny name.

Ranting, or raving, about Google Labs

XSLT; styling headlines; fighting copyright tariffs

CBC Radio 3 a masterpiece; W3C goes tableless
Not sure how I missed this, given my status as an unofficial CBC groupie, but its Web network has relaunched as weekly magazine gorgeously designed in, ahem, Flash. CBC Radio 3: Music and Modern Media looks to be what Shift once was — but with the design of a hip Wallpaper*.

Harvard Mouse unpatentable
Well, one potentially scary chain of events has been stopped at the source. Canada’s supreme court has just ruled the so-called “Harvard mouse” cannot be patented

Fixing Trade by Numbers; Sun to unionize?

LaPointe’s list; DOM2 Events in IE
Kirk LaPointe has assembled a mammoth list of news- and media-related links. The look is not pretty, but with Type Ahead Find, or a bit of patience, the list is an impressive resource. (LaPointe, by the way, was the Senior Vice-President at CTV News, the Executive Editor of the National Post, as well as the editor of The Hamilton Spectator. He’s now “at large”.)
