I thought it was interesting how they appear to have inlined the CSS and JS into the HTML for their new responsive site. Is this becoming a common practice? I guess they must have worked out that their CSS and JS was lean and minified enoug

I can appreciate why Google would want to add this functionality, but adding a new icon to the system tray (space in there can be quite a precious commodity on a Mac) and providing no obvious way to hide it isn't cool, so I'm disa

Really cool idea, although a friend pointed out that a very similar idea has already been done for watches: http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2013/6/13/festina-watches-div...

Funnily enough, I was reminiscing about AudioGalaxy over lunch today. Probably my favourite (or at least most fondly remembered) music download service - I used to love being able to queue up a load of music (and there was loads of really r

Was just about to post this up myself. Awesome stuff, TweenLite was a great library for using with ActionScript so to have that ease of programming and performance of animations come to JS is exciting! The performance seems to be very impre

It was this feature which made me switch full-time to Sublime Text in the end - Command-T was just too slow in comparison so I decided the Vim emulation in Sublime was good enough for the commands I used, which are just the basics really -
