1 Using your favorite search engine, research Firefox and discover why so many people are making it their default browser. Write two paragraphs -- one on features that appeal to you, and one on features you don't need or don't understand. Post the paragraphs to your blog.
Probably because has more functionality, is faster and more secure than IE. Besides, has a lot of plugins and options to customize and IE is stuck in the same things.

2 Next read about developer extensions for Firefox. Which extensions do you feel a professional web designer would find most useful? Post a paragraph to your blog describing your conclusions.
Probably the fire ftp, the line checker, View Rendered Source, MeasureIt, but I am not sure if all of them are that helpful

3 Using your favorite search engine, research Opera and discover why so many people are making it their default browser. Write two paragraphs -- one on features that appeal to you, and one on features you don't need or don't understand.
Well… Opera is a good browser, with more cool features than IE, but Firefox is better

4 Visit CNet's Download.com and examine this multi-page list of browsers. Find two browsers that sound interesting, and one that sounds weird. Paste the names of the browsers and their descriptions into your blog.
Avant and slim browser sounds interesting, but Maxthon sounds weird

1 What is "usability"? (Google it!!)

Usability usually refers to software but is relevant to any product. Some ways to improve usability include:
shortening the time to accomplish tasks,
reducing the number of mistakes made,
reducing learning time,
and improving people's satisfaction with a system.

2 Visit Vincent Flanders's WebPagesThatSuck and read about The Biggest Web Design Mistakes of 2004, then read read "What Would Amazon Do?"
Now visit Jakob Nielsen's useIt.com and read Amazon: No Longer The Role Model for eCommerce Design.

3 Who do you think is right? Flanders or Nielsen? Why?
I think Vincent Flanders is right cause it is not about the fancy design or plugins or stuff is about selling and the design works well

4 Research the backgrounds of Flanders and Nielsen. Which of the two is more entertaining? Which is more academic?
Vincent is more fun oriented than Flanders

5 Now the important question -- which is more accessible?
I think vincent is because you can apply more ideas from him

Blogger Exercise #4

1 Do you think it's possible to get sued for linking to someone else's site? Why or why not?
Yes….because you can violate or taking advantage of the page, linking to only what you want to link

2 Run a search on Google for "deep linking legal" (without the quotes).

3 Define deep linking, and explain why it is controversial.
When people link to websites, they often do not link to the homepage. Instead they link to the sub-page that contains the information they want to link to. This practice, of linking to a sub-page deep within a website, is called “deep linking.” What is not generally known is that there is some doubt as to the legality of deep linking, and some recent court decisions suggest that deep linking might be impermissible in some cases. This essay will discuss the existing law on deep linking and its implications for future developments.

4 What is "framing"? (Search for "framing legal")
Framing
A frame is a window on a website through which pages from another website can be viewed. In the early days of the Web, sites showed pages from other sites as a draw for visitors. The technology allows one website operator to use intellectual property owned by another entity to sell banner advertising on its on site. Although there has yet to be a U.S. court decision on this issue, in 1997 the Washington Post filed suit against online news site Total News for framing news items contained on the Post's site. Total News settled the case by agreeing to link to, rather than frame, the Post's Web pages.
