Does the world really need another browser?!? Google's latest "Beta" offering has a lot to offer, particularly if you already use other Google apps like Gmail and Google Docs. Let's talk about what make's Chrome unique.

>> Google Chrome ... ... it's forbidden around here. seriously, we are not allowed to install it, and since it's release the Sys admins have clamped down on Firefox now too. (we are a government agency, dealing with education and there's Microsoft everywhere) - name witheld by request
>> it's funny, the more i use Chrome (for windows), the more unstable it seems to get... crashes a lot more, can't handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab... all that to say, i'm switching back to Firefox www.kogmedia.com - patrick

I'm a business owner, not a developer, so I have had to take some time to really think about why Adobe mattered to me.

Making linking legal

Can you legally link to another web site without violating copyright laws? Well, there is no simple answer. Is there ever?

>> I think the article is misleading. Linking to another site is currently legal, deep links or otherwise. Even according to the article, there is no US law or court decision that would make linking illegal or suggest that it infringes on copyrights. I think where you get into potential legal trouble is where you blur the ownership of the content. That occurs with the techniques discussed in the article about "framing" or "inlining". If you're doing that sort of stuff on your site, then you probably should be concerned. - Mike Rankin
>> Thanks for the comment, Mike.

And you're spot-on: linking is legal. Inlining, framing, posting PDFs of the original page content, etc are where folks get into legal trouble.

However, our larger clients have expressed concern about the potential legal exposure. Unfortunately, should a site owner feel that there has been a copyright violation, the corporation still has to respond to the filing ... regardless of the legal precedent.

More and more of our clients are seeking advance permission rather than asking for forgiveness.

>> I also think that some content sites (no naming dropping here, but a simple web search should turn up results) actually have outlined in their Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy's that direct links to articles are not allowed. So most everyone should do their homework at least a little bit before linking away. - Eric Jones

Kevin Yank, from Sitepoint.com is a friend of mine and recently he told the world, at least the part of the world who reads his newsletter, that ColdFusion was relatively stagnant. initially when I read this I was furious, but as luck would have it, a lot more eloquent people in the ColdFusion community were also upset and so began this latest ColdFusion debate. Here are my thoughts on the subject.

We are imminently approaching the launch of our first RIA E-Commerce application utilizing the power of Flex 2. We’ve built a dynamic front end product browser and shopping cart that is managed by a complete set of store administration tools integrated into i3SiteTools, DP’s site management system. I’d like to take the time to relate a few of the finer points and pitfalls we’ve encountered during our setup and development process.
