Comments on: Curved corners, and why you should be able to see them http://www.andcurve.com/wordpress/2009/07/14/curved-corners-and-why-you-should-be-able-to-see-them/ The weblog of Kevin Teljeur. Somewhere within all the noise, there is a note you need to hear.

The point was that I feel comfortable about using this feature and leaving IE out, rather than either a) not using it (previous plan) or b) using some tortuous workaround to get it to work in IE. Now it's not too bad to just tell people with IE to get with the program. I didn't have any javascript handy to make you happy, but I'm writing one in JQuery, which i hope to test soon.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3691','Kevin Teljeur'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3691','Kevin Teljeur','*sigh* I don\'t have a good come back to the towering rage that is you, Baz - the Intarwebs has missed you.

‘a new trick’ jaysus. surely you jest. that little trick is around since the dark ages. even aol search was using it to give fancy coners to ffx/safari 2 years ago.

also, apart from every second word press theme on the web having 2/3 corners rounded to look ‘cool’, the header looks decidedly weird on firefox, with pink showing through the curve…

even the mighty firefox couldn’t do a good job on making that head of yours look good.

at least have the decency to have photoshop do a nice job of them…

and finally…

a post about updating your site? that’s got to be the most frequent type of post you actually have!

“sorry it’s been so long, look mom, new (insert tiny alteration)”.

sigh.

Like high-performance sports cars; very, very fast, but not really great for getting about town or picking up the shopping. I tend to make use of the sort of extra features that less minimal browsers offer, and that's why I eventually came back to Firefox after having used both Camino and Safari (I'm on a Mac) for extended periods.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3688','Kevin Teljeur'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3688','Kevin Teljeur','It\'s clutter-free alright, and it has some things going for it but for me, it has in common with Safari that it\'s maybe too minimalist.

I like the way there's only one box - whether you're entering addresses, queries or a site. In fact, the distinction between those things has become blurred in my mind: I just tell it what I want and it delivers quickly. The result fills the screen - the browser seems bigger because there's no clutter. I find it a lot like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Maps - it just works. Anything that should happen, does. I have never once improvised a gesture and been refused. It's intuitive. I have severe brand loyalty to Google! To me, they're what Apple used to be. Sometimes wish they would write an Operating System.
