That was a very easy link to miss (even though you can click the image of the book as well to display the sample PDF) — maybe consider elevating the download text?

Is it me, or is line spacing on the iPad really tight?

Very true, handling accessibility issues is a challenge when using icon fonts. In certain browsers, the ARIA specifications suggest you could do something like <button aria-label="Close">X</button> to deal with screen

I can't speak toward the other icon font resources the article mentioned, but IcoMoon did a great job taking SVG files and turning them into a font. The app supports custom character mapping and comes with a sample icon library. App: http:

Really well done. Just an FYI: When you're using the Facebook API to get profile photos, specifying ?type=large gives you a photo with variable width and height. What you're then doing with CSS to display it (giving it a fixed width and hei

It seems they're referring specifically to measurement systems, as in a taxi service. The preceding sentence in the ruling is: "The major problem at this time is the fact that there are no established measurement standards for its current a

Strange, I had the opposite experience on an iPad 3. The 3D animations performed way better than the 2D ones - a bit of tearing on the sliders.

Eh. OS X has been on somewhat of a tick-tock update cycle since Leopard. Add features then refine them. Also, it's twenty bucks .

True, but those points don't yield the PC an inherently superior computer from a utility standpoint. Despite what you've said, non-PC devices are for core tasks (email, web browsing, messaging, etc.,) a highly-refined, elegant and convenien

There has to be a corollary floating around about sufficient user bases.

Moreso, there aren't any specifications released with the announcement as far as I know. Before anyone says 'specs don't matter anymore! End-users don't care!' — knowing nothing about a device is far worse.

Rolling iTunes Originals into Ping somehow could've partially solved that problem. Using Ping (?) would give users exclusive access to original content. Honestly, a Last.fm acquisition would've been their best bet.

This is absolutely gorgeous. A great addition to this would be state loading via a URL hash, kind of like Timemap.js does it. Example: http://timemap.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.0.1/examples/state....
