Just came across this bug when using Google’s “Specific date range” search option …

Google allows a number of ways to filter via their “Show Options” link above the standard search results. Clicking “Show Options” opens a column on the left with more options including the ability to specify a date range. Notice their suggested date format (dd/m/yyyy) and the date format I am using in my example search following the suggested same date/month order. Oops!

Google is localising the suggested date format but not handling the localised input.

On the right you can see using m/dd/yy it works fine.

(And no - no different if I use yyyy instead of yy).

Update - one more thing while I remember. What is the use of an update utility that ignores your previous preferences? Why do I get a Quicktime link in the Quick Launch area every time it updates? As a rule I have found Apple’s software to be miles behind their hardware in usability and intuitiveness. Why is that?

Don’t want Safari? Apple wants you to want it and obscures the way to stop this.

Found this information on a forum somewhere …

1. Run Apple Software Update (there is probably link in your start menu somewhere)
2. Check for updates so you can see the Safari option.
3. Highlight Safari (I had to click the checkbox as well).
4. Choose Tools from the top menu.
5. Click Ignore Selected Updates.

In theory the software shouldn’t check for it again.

Came across an article on “reflow”:

the process by which the geometry of the layout engine’s formatting objects are computed

(from the Mozilla page on reflow)
Here is an example that DougT found for Wikipedia …
