Things that made me happy this morning:

• Google’s Alex Russel released Chrome Frame, a way to embed Google Chrome into any Internet Explorer 6 as a plugin without having to uninstall the old browser. As explained in the more technical details article it is implemented as a Browser Helper Object, uses IE’s cookies, history and password-remembering, includes the WebKit developer tools and appends ‘chromeframe’ to the regular IE user agent string. All in all the feedback from the tech scene is very positive but there are also accessbility concerns about the solution.
• The latest nightlies of Safari and Firefox now include WebGL and that will mean there’s some cool 3D browser apps ahead. Check out the video showing a Spore creature inside the browser.
• MixCloud is a service that could become the YouTube for radio, shame there’s no API yet

Things that made me happy this morning:

•   is also an acronym for No Bullshit please
