With all the buzz about IE6 dying, I’d like to throw this out there. Adobe Flash is dying too. What or who is killing it off? HTML5. It’ll be a couple years though, Flash does enjoy over 99% market penetration, after all. But Apple’s continuing decision to not support Flash on their mobile devices (iPod [...]
A month ago, with Google’s quiet announcement of discontinuing support for IE6 as of March 1, 2010, I wrote:
Everyone’s been waiting to dump IE6 for a long time (I’d guess about 5 years) but hasn’t quite got the nerve to do it yet; thanks to Google’s lead, by the end of the summer I predict [...]
We went live with www.pmdpromo.com this past weekend, a website we developed for PMD Promotion, based out of New York City. PMD has physical posters (as in, non-digital) in over 35,000 storefronts across the nation. Check out their map here. There’s a couple nice jquery effects on the site, like the scrolling campaign slider on [...]
At last, it’s happening. This is all over the Internet today, a message from Google to the world:
In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As [...]
I just checked out my Columbus-Ohio-startup-friends’ new website, Recess Mobile, where they’ve brought together all the many apps and projects they’ve developed, all of them focused around using SMS to do things, like get out of parking tickets, get real estate data, enjoy wait times better, etc. Nice site, guys.
Yury, one of the founders, also [...]
Over the weekend, I noticed Facebook has this handy feature where you can tell them what you think of ads by clicking the little X next to the ad. I really like this feature:
But if you don’t like all ads…do they stop serving you ads?
This summer, RedPost developed a Ruby on Rails website for Downtown Goshen. We just went live last week — you can check it out here. A good start, but like all Rails apps, lots of room to grow!
Some of the features of the website:
lists detailed information on over 14 events held in downtown Goshen, with [...]
Another tenent of web service design is ease of use. A lot of the industry borrows heavily from Apple’s design lead; many of the user interface elements and other graphical elements hark back to things Apple came up with sometime in the past 15 years. Ex: glowing bubbles are about 10 years old, from the [...]
One thing I love about the emerging web world is that there are no longer these huge 1.0, 2.0 etc. feature releases. While there are occasional large upgrades to websites, usually, new features come as they’re developed. Like WalkScore’s new comparison feature which tells you what your score is like relative to the rest of [...]
I’m switching back to Comcast from Verizon for internet because Verizon literally has no record of my online order and upped my rate from $35 to $80/mo for internet. But really, both these companies incentivize people to switch about once a year to take advantage of their introductory offers. So that’s what I do.
Comcast has [...]
