Once you are done marveling at this magnificent materpiece, you may notice some interesting things, such as Geolocation being a separate "blob"! That is the sign of a true work of art. The sheer depth of the piece doesn't hit you until you have carefully scrutinized it.

Will you print it out on the finest paper and give it a permanent space on your wall?

And.... For when Geolocation on Opera?

You released a 10.5X snapshot with it and any news since them...

Greetings.

Does this count as an HTML5 demo page? It's a work in progress, but...

I like how everything's in the "interweb" except for i-phone apps... that'll confuse the Apple fanboys. Bwahahaha!
