With the exception of Google’s Chrome, most of the alternative browsers out there tend to get lost in the shuffle. Three writers take some lesser-known browsers out for a spin: Camino (for the Mac), Maxthon (for the PC), OmniWeb (for the Mac), Opera (both the Mac and the PC versions) and Shiira (for the Mac).
This list was posted on Slashdot today. Great list. I’ve played a few of the games, especially Depths of Peril which, unlike most games, has versions available for Mac as well as Windows.

On the list of things that would be cool but utterly useless (except maybe to entertain the cats), was Spooky Books from Things You Never Knew Existed Web site. This set of antique-looking books hold a surprise: the middle book pushes out on it’s own when someone walks by. Accompanied, of course, by spooky sounds….
I’ve had my N900 since the end of November. On January 19, Engadget published a thorough review of the N900. The Engadget article points out some of the flaws with the N900: it’s not a polished product. The user interface isn’t as slick as the iPhone or the Palm Pre (but it is very pretty)….
