So, this might be a stupid question, but I'm curious: Where does the money of the fine actually go? It's just being collected by these EU regulators and sits in their bank accounts?

Pretty sure that's possible without tracking the direction of the mouse, by simply not hiding/showing the submenu but changing its contents when the mouse hovers over a different menu element.

Ah, I see it now, that makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

I don't get why is detecting the mouse direction necessary in the case of the Amazon dropdown; I can see the utility in the Bootstrap example that the article highlights, but if the dropdown menu and its submenus both fit in a perfect squar

True, I didn't consider that. I guess you could work around this placing all the links you want to be indexed in a hidden div or something similar though. This could be automated via javascript aswell.

Well, theoretically, for a HTML5 standards compliant version you could do: <img src="pic.jpg" data-href="about.html"> And this, plus what I suspect it would be a very tiny global javascript handler that takes care of simulati

If as a developer one doesn't have much of an eye for design, Bootstrap is still a good way to begin, as opposed to nothing at all. That's not to say devs should just use Bootstrap and be done with it, but it's a decent start; I'd rather ha

Great article. I think Gowalla would have had a better chance if they aggressively pursued the things foursquare wasn't doing, like conquering Europe for instance. I always had the feeling none of the two companies was trying hard enough

I'm not sure if the author has any idea what is it like to bootstrap a web product and watch the money go down the drain day after day, with zero income to compensate, and with the certainty that you won't make it for another 6 months if th

Right, I stand corrected, I guess I read the comment too quickly.

Excellent initiative! I'd personally kill for a tool akin of Chrome's timeline, where to debug performance issues not related to javascript, like rendering e.g. things that trigger a complete screen redraw and whatnot. I'd really like to se

Exactly. Most internet folks fail to realize that the average joe doesn't, in fact, care the slightest about design, as long as the object in question does the job.

Exactly my thoughts, other than the fact we've landed several times and not just once on the moon, but that's besides the point. It's been nearly 44 years (!) since the first manned moon landing and we have done practically nothing on the

Found it, that's a pretty odd design choice actually, that button doesn't look like it's going to trigger a dropdown, in fact it looks like it would unfriend the person if clicked.

As usual, the title is a little bit sensationalist. According to the company, Facebook is curently being used actively by 1 billion users. For Facebook to go the MySpace way (let alone in single year), something incredibly extraordinary w

Actually UX designer is a pretty common job title these days. I'm pretty sure it's a well recognized profession.

World would be such a better place if we could get rid entirely of Flash and Java for the web. It's not only the exploits, the fact that they are so frequent also means users got to update both Java and Flash almost every single day, which

That's perfect, I wish you could do something like this in gmail without specifically creating a new account for every alias.

+1 the timeline tool is great. Whenever you have performance issues in a web app and javascript is not the culprit, that's the tool to turn to.

Speaking of which, this alias system from google is great in theory, but kind of pointless in practice; spammers can easily figure out they can just remove everything from the + sign, including the sign itself, and boom, they have my addres

I just checked the spam folder of a gmail account I used for dropbox. Throughout the years I'd ocasionally (maybe once every two months or so) check the spam folder merely out of curiosity, but it was practically always empty. Perhaps this

I suppose it's just for semantic purposes, just like the "article" element; ie, to make the markup pretty.
