Web Designer/Developer, Storyteller and Lover of Technology
I'm a web designer/developer, writer and animator living in Birmingham Ala. I have been working in the web design/development field for 10 years. I am a founding member of the writing and animation team 5 Guys in a Garage who started JabTV.com. I have worked for various internet and media companies over the years including the now defunct Hecklers.com and al.com.
Adobe’s Flash Player has never performed as well in Mac OS X as it does on Windows-running PCs. The traditionally poor performance of Adobe’s plugin on the Mac has led many iPhone and iPad users to support Apple’s decision to keep Flash off of its mobile devices.

This is the most complete HTML 5 and CSS 3 Browser Compatibility Checklist I have found to date. If your interested in progressive enhancement or adding HTML 5 to your site for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch compatibility. This is a good resource to have.
On the Mac, I don’t use Opera’s browser. I use Safari myself. But you have to admire Opera’s “Chutzpah”.

Perhaps you think that with the FTC looking into the Google Voice App rejection or infinite evaluation process. You think that it may now be your chance.
It isn’t.
Not because you don’t make a good browser. It’s because your not Google.
