In order to do my SARS tax efiling I needed the Adobe Reader installed. Up till now I have managed without it due to Google Chrome having a built in PDF reader as well as having the Mac OSX default PDF viewer. SARS is using some specific PDF form-filing functionality which I guess only Adobe supports. So, no problem I think, I just quickly download and install Reader from Adobe. Not. 415megs of app. What? To render PDF files? Have they gone mad? No wonder Steve Jobs got fed up with Adobe and dumped Flash. 415megs!

Oooh, this is seriously nerdy! Right now I’m playing with the “circles” on the uber-new Google Plus (Google+) using the Google Chrome browser (of course!) and I’m running the experimental Google Chromium OS (operating system) on a Mac!

Google Chromes Automatic updates really work! As web designers and developers we no longer have to worry about old versions of Google Chrome. They simply don’t exist. I think if this feature alone would be adopted by the other browsers, our lives would become so much simpler, and users would have a more unified web experience. I also believe it would free up budgets to be spent on usabilty and features not on browser support!  Via Pingdom: Why automatic software upgrades are great for innovation
