Annoying Del.icio.us Prompt

I’ve been migrating my Firefox bookmarks to del.icio.us as of late, but I’ve run into something I don’t like.
Whenever I clear my cache (Ctrl-Shift-Del), which I do often when I work with CSS and JavaScript, I’m logged out of Del.icio.us (which is no big deal, and expected since I’m flushing the cookies). As soon as [...]

GMail: The Video

Google has been editing a YouTube video about GMail. The cool part? Everyone gets to participate. The first half of the video is currently online on the GMail Video Page. Just print-out the GMail “M-Velope” image and film yourself. The idea is to help everyone “imagine how an email message travels around the world.” It’s [...]

Ask.com

It seems that Ask.com has had some upgrades. Firstly, they’ve updated their design, making it looks more 3d and shiny. Besides the design, though, they’ve also been updating their results pages to be more like Google’s new “Universal Search”, where you get pictures, videos, maps, etc mixed in with web results.
No matter what they do, [...]

Google Acquiring Feedburner

Google just bought Feedburner! Is that surprising? It’s not to me (well, not too much anyway). Think of it this way:

 Feedburner = RSS “re-hosting”, feed stats, and feed ads
 Google = Web site stats, website ads

So, you combine the two.
I believe the feed stats will eventually be integrated with Google Analytics, the ads with [...]

Hotmail Going Web 2.0

Renamed “Windows Live Hotmail”, Microsoft’s email service has been revamped. Of course, the changes have been in the works for a long time. I remember when the beta came out: Not long after GMail launched. Using AJAX and DHTML, Hotmail is once again a viable email option. I still won’t use it, though. My main [...]

Microsoft to Acquire Yahoo?

Yahoo has been trying to conquer the web lately (again). After lying dormant for awhile, the great beast that is Yahoo has resumed it’s evil rampage. They’ve acquired Flickr, Del.icio.us, and seem to be planning to get into the OpenID business. With the launch of Yahoo Brand Universe, they began trying to take on the many fan sites on the web. They’re claims? They claim that there are too many small sites out there run by individuals. I prefer those sites to Yahoo by far.

CSS Slicing Guide

Hey, I saw a useful thing on Digg today (unbelievable, I know)! CSS Slicing Guide, a website that teaches how to use Photoshop (or other programs) to slice a layout into working CSS code instead of tables.
As you may have noticed, there are tons of sites that still use tables to line up images into [...]
