Civil liberties? No need says Whitehouse.

Whitehouse press secretary, paraphrased (because I can't write that fast) " The president does not see a need at this time to intervene..." when asked about using an executive order to suspend the dismissal of serving gays and lesbians under DADT.

Gee, I really hope this guy wasn't quoting Obama. Maybe he just misunderstood what the President was saying. Or did we?

A little more acid please!

Apple today announced an upgrade to their Safari browser that passes the ACID3 test on both Apple and Windows platforms. (I mentioned earlier that the new IE8 passes ACID2, which is a big improvement). I'll try the Windows version soon.

IE8 fails ACID3 miserably. Firefox 3 makes a good attempt, but is still well off a passing grade.

So well done Apple on getting there first! I guess the ACID people will be working on an even more fiendish test for browsers now...

ACID 3 is here: http://acid3.acidtests.org/

The reference page (how the page should look if the browser passes the test) is here: http://acid3.acidtests.org/reference.html
