UX & User Research
Market Insights
Desktop / Platform
Apple
- Apple was granted 38 patents related to mobile applications, touch and gesture logic, and mobile wallets, compass calibration, and much more.
- It seems likely that Apple took advantage of the OS X Mountain Lion / Safari 6 launch to kill the Safari web browser for Windows
- Google has improved the security in Chrome's handling of http://blog.chromium.org/2012/08/ending-mixed-scripting-vulnerabilities.html mixed scripting vulnerabilities]. The changes will "minimize security dialog fatigue", improve resistance to clickjacking and silently block all mixed script conditions for HSTS-enabled sites.
- The Chrome release channel now includes support for the getUserMedia API. Google also released Sketchbots, a demo of the technology that (surprise!) works only with Chrome
- Extensions built for Chrome can now make use of keyboard shortcuts
- 90% of Chrome Canary/Dev/Beta users now have speculative resource prefetching enabled
Microsoft
- Microsoft sent Windows 8 off to manufacturers, just after learning that they would have to change the name of the "Metro" user interface due to a trademark conflict
- Some screenshots of IE10 for Windows Phone 8 have leaked out, showing a SmartScreen filter, customizable address bar, proxy-based data compression, and per-site cookie blocking
- When users of IE10 first start the browser, they will be able to change the default "Do Not Track" setting in a screen similar to the "browser choice" one Windows is required to display in Europe
- Intel's Ultrabook Symposium was last week, where the chip vendor announced that OEMs will be releasing 40+ Touchscreen Windows 8 Ultrabooks, with designs for another 100 in the pipeline. Prices will start at $699.
Opera
- As part of their interesting State of the Mobile Web Report, Opera announced that their Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers now have 200m users world wide
- Opera 12.50 will drop -o- prefix support for CSS transitions, animations, and transforms
W3C
- The W3C announced that Adobe, Google, and Microsoft have provided significant funds to "sponsor more complete W3C staff coverage to achieve Recommendation Status for HTML5 in 2014".
WebKit
- WebKit dropped the "-webkit-" prefix for the Vibration API
- Patrick Muller released weinre, a remote debugger for WebKit Inspector that works with mobile devices
- The Web Performance Working Group specifications moved to W3C Candidate Status. These APIs will allow developers to more accurately and easily track the performance of their applications in all browsers.
