Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns
From the daily archives:
Not a big deal in my book, but the AppleWorks product has reached “End of Life” (no longer sold or updated) according to Macworld UK.Customers are being directed to the newly released iWork 08 package as it’s replacement. Numbers (a spreadsheet) being introduced in iWork 08 has allowed Apple to finally drop AppleWorks.

so when I read Alex Iskold’s post on Read/WriteWeb titled “How JavaScript is Slowing Down the Web (And What To Do About IT),” it struck home.With Meandering Passage I’ve experienced the slower page loads and the sometimes page load hesitation or halts due to suspected javascript issues…. In other words create an HTML page containing just the widget tag, and in the page you want the widget displayed you include an iframe tag pointing to the HTML page with the widget code.This method solves two problems:- the javascript code of the widget (3rdparty) does not slow dow the display of your page…. JavaScript does not restrict cross domain scripting – so if you place a script src on your tag pointing to a 3rd party, that third party can see the referrer of your page, collect any data the user types, and who knows what.The iframe solution has been used by advertising companies and more respected publishers since Microsoft first introduced it.
