"Shortly after the Acid 3 test was released in 2008, Ian Hickson stated that "work on Acid4 will begin when three of the four top rendering engines have builds that pass the test, and will be finished and announced after four of the top four rendering engines have announced that they have fixed all the bugs found by Acid3." Today, with the release of Firefox 7, 3 of the top 4 engines now pass the Acid3 test (WebKit and Presto have passed it since 2008), although this reference to a start date has quietly been removed. Even Trident (IE) has now quietly managed to muster a 100/100 score on Acid3. So, is it time to start work on Acid4?"Link to Original Source

"It seems that in its zeal to stop the distribution of copyrighted materials on YouTube, the movie industry has just inadvertently censored itself. Alliance Atlantis has apparently sent a takedown notice to YouTube for a video clip from the movie Rush Hour 3 that was uploaded to YouTube by New Line Cinema, and linked to from the Rush Hour 3 home page (at the bottom of the page, click on the Special Sneak Peek — The Nun Clip). Rush Hour 3 is distributed by New Line Cinema in the US, although it appears that Alliance Atlantis may be responsible for distribution in Canada and the UK."

"New research indicates that Apple laptop sales have soared to new highs on the back of a new halo effect for the company's products generated by clamour surrounding iPhone, while at the same time Dell's market share is taking a huge hit. Apple is also far ahead of rivals in customer satisfaction, with 86 percent of those polled who bought a Mac in the last 90 days reporting being "Very Satisfied.""

"This afternoon, Steve Jobs posted an article entitled "Thoughts on Music" on Apple.com. Jobs argues that DRM doesn't work effectively and believes that Digital Rights Management should not be required by music companies. 'Convincing them to license their music to Apple and others DRM-free will create a truly interoperable music marketplace. Apple will embrace this wholeheartedly.'"

"Market share data for the first month of Microsoft's Zune sales is now available, and appears to confirm that after the initial hype, sales have fallen off dramatically. Microsoft came in fourth for sales during the month of November with only 1.9% of the market. Apple remained unchanged at 62.2%, and SanDisk even managed to increase to 18.4% (looks like the Zune might not even be able to compete with the rest of the market, let alone the iPod). The one surprise though is that the brown Zune is apparently not only being bought, but more popular than the white model."
