New Site to Help Find What Web Browser You’re Using – WhatWebBrowser.com

January 20, 2012 by Jason White News Tags:

We just created a quick simple website called WhatWebBrowser.com which helps you quickly find what web browser, version, and platform you are using. It’s primarily designed for web developers, IT, and others who have people using their website/webapp and from time to time need to ask customers/clients “What web browser are you using?”.  Many times when asking clients they say “I Don’t Know” or ”How do I check?”, well in that case you can now simply tell them to go to our new site “WhatWebBrowser.com” and our new site will let them know what browser, version, and platform they are on so you can know how to quickly troubleshoot it to make your website/webapp all web browser compatible.

WhatWebBrowser.com

Conversation Scenario:

  • Web Developer: “…It’s not working for you?”
  • Client: “No”
  • Web Developer: “OK, do you know what web browser you are using?”
  • Client: “Um…I don’t know, how do I check?”
  • Web Developer: “Simply go to WhatWebBrowser.com and it will tell you”
  • Client: “OK…Wow, that was easy, looks like it’s Internet Explorer 8 on Windows”
  • Web Developer: “Thanks, we’ll get that tested and fixed for you thanks”

Stop SOPA

January 13, 2012 by Jason White News

Usually we here at Imaginate Studio don’t get into politics being a part of web development and building sites for users from all over the globe that span the political spectrum is evidence that we are doing our job and helping democratizing publishing, and we don’t want to alienate any of our readers/customers no matter how much some of us may disagree with some of them personally. Today, I’m breaking our no-politics rule, because there’s something going on in U.S. politics right now that we need to make sure you know about and understand, because it affects us all.

You may have heard people talking/blogging/twittering about SOPA — the Stop Online Piracy Act. The recent SOPA-related boycott of GoDaddy was all over the news, with many people expressing their outrage over the possibilities of SOPA, but when I ask people about SOPA and its sister bill in the Senate, PIPA (Protect IP Act), many don’t really know what the bills propose, or what we stand to lose. If you are not freaked out by SOPA/PIPA, please: for the next four minutes, instead of checking Facebook statuses, seeing who mentioned you on Twitter, or watching the latest episode of The Bachelor, watch this video (by Fight for the Future).

We can make an impact, and you can be an agent of change. Go to Stop American Censorship for more information and a bunch of ways you can take action quickly, easily, and painlessly. The Senate votes in two weeks, and we need to help at least 41 more senators see reason before then. Please. Make your voice heard.

Copy Text within Quick Look Previews

January 11, 2012 by Jason White Mac Tips

Pretty cool tip that I found on MacWorld’s website today.  It’s a nice little tip that let’s you copy text from quick look in the finder.  Here’s the article:

Quick Look is a delightfully simple way to browse the contents of the files on your Mac without launching their parent apps. (Select a file, press the space bar, that’s it.) But if you’re looking at, say, a PDF or Word document, Quick Look can frustrate, because it doesn’t provide any way to select and copy text; if you find a snippet of text you’d like to copy and paste, you still need to launch the parent app. Unless, that is, you know a secret shared by Keir Thomas (author of the excellent Mac Kung Fu).

To make text selectable in Quick Look previews, you just need to enable a hidden Finder setting. Select and copy the code below, open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities), paste that code at the prompt, then press Return:

defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE; killall Finder

After a second or two, the Finder will restart. Once it does, you’ll be able to select text in Quick Look previews and copy it to the Clipboard for use elsewhere.

If you decide you don’t deserve to select text in Quick Look, you can turn this feature off with another Terminal command:

defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder

Works like a charm.  Thanks MacWorld!
