Make Your Own Fonts, In a Web Browser

Dekortage writes "Although it's been up for a few weeks, today is the official launch of FontStruct, a web-based font creation tool. That's right: in your web browser, you can build your own typeface, and download it as a TrueType font. The site's user agreement requires you to release your creations online under one of the Creative Commons licenses. The typefaces tend to be a little blocky, but it's still impressive (and a great way to pass time)."

Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser?

An anonymous reader points out an eWeek story about researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who are designing a new web browser based on security. The new software, code-named OP for Opus Palladianum, will separate various components of the browser into subsystems which are monitored and managed by the browser kernel. Quoting: "'We believe Web browsers are the most important network-facing application, but the current browsers are fundamentally flawed from security perspective,' King said in an interview with eWEEK. 'If you look at how the Web was originally designed, it was an application with static Web pages as data. Now, it has become a platform for hosting all kinds of important data and businesses, but unfortunately, [existing] browsers haven't evolved to deal with this change and that's why we have a big mal

Firefox 4 Will Push Edges of Browser Definition

Chris Blanc writes "Mozilla Lab's push is to blur the edges of the browser, to make it both more tightly integrated with the computer it's running on, and also more hooked into Web services. So extended, the browser becomes an even more powerful and pervasive platform for all kinds of applications. 'Beard wants the new online/offline, browser/service to be more intelligent on behalf of its users. Early examples of this intelligence include the "awesome bar," which is what Mozilla calls the new smart address bar in Firefox 3. It offers users smart URL suggestions as they type based on Web searches and their prior Web browsing history. He's looking to extend on this with a "linguistic user interface" that lets users type plain English commands into the browser bar.

Implementing Contextual Web Services

Web Services are a true interoperable technology that enables disparate systems to talk to each other using a common language. The Web Service consumers communicate to Web Services using SOAP messages transported over standard HTTP protocol. HTTP is a stateless protocol in nature, meaning that subsequent Web Service requests (for example, SOAP over HTTP) from the same user are considered as independent requests. The stateless behavior simplifies the design of HTTP protocol but this forces developers to use alternate methods such as cookies to maintain the user state. As the Web Services technology and the standards around it evolve more and more, the kind of application that the large enterprises implement using Web Services also tends to evolve.

Firefox 4 will push out the edges of the browser

The browser needs to evolve. Beard believes the browser concept hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. It's still an isolated piece of software, he says.

National Archives Cuts Back on Web Site Archiving

hhavensteincw writes "The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is coming under fire for a new policy to stop the "harvesting" of a digital snapshot of all federal agency and Congressional Web sites after every Presidential and Congressional term. NARA, which archived more than 75 million Web sites in 2004 after George Bush's first term ended, will not harvest agency and Congressional Web sites when his current term is over because it says agencies are supposed to be archiving Web content on their own. But NARA has been criticized by some for opting out of preserving these important historical archives on the Web."

Charles Moore Reviews The Firefox 3 Beta 3 Web Browser

If we discount Microsoft's fading (91 percent market share in 2004 - down to about 75 percent today) Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox is on its way to becoming the Internet browser standard of reference. Safari fans might argue the point, but Safari hasn't made much of an impression outside the Mac context, where of course it's the default OS X browser. Safari is now actually a very nice-performing browser, finally reaching maturity with the version 3 release in OS 10.5 Leopard and also the OS 10.4.11 update. However, in the broader Internet context, Firefox is the most prolific non-Microsoft browser by a wide margin. In January, the market research firm Net Applications reported that Firefox enjoys a nearly 17 percent market share, which someone who has crunched the numbers reports amounts to more than a 450 increase over a brief fou

Processing Linked Web Data with XSLT

he Semantic Web is a grand vision for increasing the power of the web through better expression and management of context. Semantic Web developers are building a framework to open up and connect organized information, which takes advantage of many popular developments on the web, such as the success of Wikipedia, Creative Commons-licensed publishing on sites like Flickr, and various blogs. A portion of this framework is the Linking Open Data (LOD) community initiative (seeded by the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach group). A goal of LOD is to weave together separate collections of open data using deep linking and RDF (Resource Description Framework) representations.
