Unfortunately, for me anyway, the text on that page is really difficult to read and seems somewhat blurry. Perhaps not the best example...

Password confirmations aren't really there for security. More as a sanity check to make sure the user hasn't accidentally typed their password incorrectly.

I have had a bone graft on my right wrist from an injury when I was younger and find using a mouse for long periods of time quite awkward. The best solution I have found is to use a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse. Using a writing implement

I read through this thread thinking the same thing (re: the arguing). It was a fairly intimate article providing an insight into the habits and life of JF and I found it slightly disconcerting that people were so quick to criticise what see

To me the use of keywords on this page look borderline splog-ish. Sure a great way to get page views but how is the bounce rate when people legitimately looking up Thanksgiving land on your page?

I have been an active member of YayHooray for the last six years, and although it bears mentioning here it's not necessarily a design orientated community anymore. Most discussions tend to be random and meaningless and the signal to noise r

It's interesting to see just how fragmented the advertising space really is these days. I think there is a real opportunity for the creation of unified marketing tools to bridge the disparity between all of these (advertising) services.

The Last.fm API ( http://www.last.fm/api/intro ) is the best one I've come across. It has the most comprehensive and intuitive documentation of all the APIs I've used. Their format for API documentation should become a standard.

I'm a designer/front-end developer and have some free time at the moment. Get in touch if you'd like some help with the visuals. My details are in my profile.

Slightly off topic, but I'd be interested to see what 37signals have to say about Wave, since it seems to encroach on their core business with the added benefit of Wave being free.

The problem I have with this, is that the examples provided, e.g. A HTML document editor adds information about tool settings so that a subsequent editing session can continue with the same settings. A JavaScript library processes custom

It's a shame that this is ceasing development as it was actually a reasonably useful class. I'm sure there will be someone out there willing to fork it though especially since it's in use on some pretty high profile sites. (e.g. Guy Kawasak

Yeah seriously, bundling over 6000 icons is not really a starting point for a site or app...

Honestly, I don't like these business models of trying to force brands to interact with their own customers on someone elses terms. It instantly reminds me of the 37signals vs GetSatisfaction debacle, albeit with slightly more product discl

I think this article is a bit misleading. It's easy to skip photoshop when you already have a house style for your application and a base css template already set up. Things are a bit different if you are starting to build a brand from scr

But what he's trying to say is that when Twitter goes down, it takes everyone with it. When a blog goes down it only takes it's RSS feed down with it, not every RSS feed in existence.

Wow. An article about grammar that uses incorrect grammar. Certainly makes the author sound like a chimp. For example: Here's a typical incorrect use: 'The committee will consist of Bob, Mr. Parsons, and myself.' In this circumst

I read it as referring to a templating engine such as Smarty (for PHP). I've never really understood the need to abstract things in this way even for novice front-end developers since it's the concept that is important not the syntax. e.g.

All these re-designs (for the sake of self promotion) are getting a bit much. Lack of good design can communicate as much to the user as good design itself can. In the instance of 'bargain' sites (Zappos, Craigslist etc.) a deliberate un-de

"-khtml-opacity is used in Apple’s Safari, and in other KHTML-enabled browsers." This is factually incorrect. Safari has supported the CSS3 selector Opacity since version 2.0 (currently at version 4.0).
