I'd really like to saimo and kas1e be interviewed before 2010 rolls out.

Btw, thanks for the podcast:)

* OWB 1.11 for Morphos Released.

Is it just me or did this section come out totally botched?

Seriously guys, OS4 OWB is nowhere near the MorphOS version... I get the impression that no-one in the team has actually used both.

I believe I actually admit this in this episode or in a previous episode as I have no machine capable of running OS 4 or MorphOS.

I think I did comment that it was like "apples and oranges" on the show when asked if it is like the Amiga OS version. That was me trying to be as politically correct as possible. But you are right - I haven't used both and don't plan on it.  

Sure, that's fine. What I don't understand is that how did it turn into this:

- Does version 1.11 how does that equate to the OS 4.0 version 3.20/3.30?
- Apples and oranges... Apples and oranges...
- So it literally does relate that it's that far behind?
- Yeah
- Okay
- Alright, alright
- You gotta get started somewhere
- ... I believe it's little bit behind...

So am I wrong to understand this in a way that just because the MorphOS OWB version number is smaller than OS4 OWB version you think that the OS4 version is better?

I hope I understood this conversation wrong. The MorphOS OWB beats the OS4 version in every way I can think of. It really is a complete browser with all the features you can expect from the browser. This unlike the OS4 version that never was supposed to be anything but simple compile of the OWB tree, and lacks even the basic features such as download manager, password manager, cookie manager, fastlinks, session support, content blocking and so on. MorphOS version even comes with comprehensive HTML5 video support, and has a flash plugin available.

Currently the MorphOS OWB is easily the best browser for any amigoid platform.

@Piru

For god sake nobody said the OS4 version was in any way superior to the MorphOS version, give the whole my browser is better than your brower thing a rest.

It sounds like guy who was being interviewed thought version numbers had any relation to each others... so mistake was in considering OWB 1.11/MorphOS was inferior to OWB 3.40/OS4 because it had smaller version number.

I don't know how you prepare for your show, but perhaps a little research on the main talking points wouldn't hurt.

See comment #10. I certainly have egg on my face as I apparently was not paying attention to what was being asked. I feel rather foolish and there will certainly be some sort of clarification on the next show in a couple of weeks. I certainly do wish I was part of the audio editing process on that one.

/me runs and hides in a corner.
