Ok, so I did it. I went from my truly lovely iPhone (3G) to a Android phone. My choice is the Samsung Galaxy i9000 (some call it GT-9000). So, how is the experience so far? Actually, I can say nothing else then just good thing about it. The Android OS feels just like…. natural. You [...]

I just run into an issue where the form was submitted with Firefox (despite an error), but the page stopped loading under Google Chrome. With the help of FireBug I saw that there was a Javascript error with the message “too many recursions”. This is the code that I had which caused too much recursion: [...]
