I'll agree that the sort of pixel perfection you're after at smaller sizes isn't quite there yet (although well-hinted icon fonts are getting pretty close). However, I think the advantages of icon fonts (packaged as a single file, automatic

Two things can often be the problem here. First, check that your server / the CDN is sending the correct MIME type for each font being served. Secondly, the Access-Control-Origin-Header must be set to allow cross-domain resource sharing - F

If a trademark is challenged, it's often useful/necessary for a party to be able to show that they've been using the mark as a trademark in the past. Slapping TM all over your branding is one way to unambiguously meet that requirement. Th

I wish that more of the comments on this article offered hard, unabashed numbers like Patrick does. Filtering on actual real-life experiences would be far more enlightening than armchair negotiation strategy.

On further reflection, I think you're right that I was wrong to use the word "stealing". It does frame and bias the discussion. I don't think I'll be able to shake the habit of using the word "property" to refer to copyrights, patents, trad

See my comment above re: pedantic arguments about the definition of "stealing". grellas made an excellent post the other day about the nature of physical property rights vs intangible property rights [1]. The general gist is that declaring

Whether it's theft or not comes down to whether or not you honestly believe the money is yours. The reference to the size of the amount is there because the larger the sum, the less likely it is that someone could reasonably believe the mon
