I don't suppose you have benchmarks to back up your claim that Opera "thrashes" Chrome? Because that hasn't been my experience. Also, I'm not familiar with the term "thrashes", what percent of improvement does that denote?

So you're used to your iPhone and inflexible enough that you are unable to abstract UI concepts to different implementations on the fly.

Unfortunately, that's probably more typical than I'd like to admit.

I'm reasonably certain, however, that had you bought a Droid instead of an iPhone, you'd be making this exact same complaint in reverse.

Then clearly you haven't spent significant time with one. I've never handled an Android phone that wasn't an impressive machine, although the early ones on t-mobile were a big premature. But my Moto Droid is simply fantastic.

Crappy programmers are crappy whether they lean on the STL or not. Their implementation of pre-existing STL containers and algorithms is bound to be terrible.

Unfortunately, YOUR point of view is wrong. It's all part of their master plan to stat count everything that we do. Dammit, at the end of the week, if I'm the one who's had the most beers, I want an achievement! If all the massive paranoia (which you are now parroting) has convinced you otherwise, sorry.

See? I can do that too.

Actually, I think Epiphany has made the switch to Webkit. Wikipedia agrees.

That depends on your idea of "last". If you consider "last" to be the position with the fastest growth in market share, then yes, Chrome is in last and IE is in a comfortable first.

Sorry, all the 2007 jobs were done in 2007.

I do have one and I did get the upgrade. It came a little later then planned, but it's quite out by now.

I'm with the GP; I hear people say this a lot, but I've never seen any indication that it's even slightly true, on any machine.
