Safari on Vista

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Apple released Safari 3 beta for Windows.

It doesn’t work that well:

Bold fonts in Safari 3 beta

Hopefully a “yet” should be appended to the end of the last sentence.

Update: PPK writes about this bug and it is suggested that it’s a graphics card issue. My laptop has Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family graphics card. If you’re experiencing the same issue add your graphics card in a comment…

Toboads down

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I haven’t noticed anything in my mail but one of my advertisers – Toboads is down. I wonder what’s going on. Since they don’t have a project blog I doubt I’ll ever get to know…

Magnifico

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Finance are saying that the last single of the infamous “local” artist Magnifico got downloaded 7.894 times in one month. The number would probably be even higher if the site was online – ooops, somebody forgot to pay.

Vklopi Sneakers!

Vklopi Sneakers got “featured” in Vitamin news. The bottom says it was done by Formitas. Can anyone name the team members who worked on it?

Bad advertising

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

I often come across an ad that seems interesting enough to click it. When I do I’m usually disappointed, because I end up in a place I didn’t expect.

Dear advertisers!

When spending money on my click, if you’re advertising a product please take me to the product page, not your home page. I’m interested in the product, not you. Yes, this kind of teleportation is possible in the online world. The only thing you did is add a mental comment to your URL: “Can’t find what I’m looking for” that will probably make me go away even when I am buying something.
