When broken links frustrate your site's visitors, a typical 404 page explains what went wrong and provides links that may relate to the visitor's quest. That's good, but now you can do better. With Dean Frickey's custom 404, when something's amiss, pertinent information is sent not only to the visitor, but to the developer—so that, in many cases, the problem can be fixed! A better 404 means never having to say you're sorry.

Washington - President-elect Barack Obama has imposed stricter conflict-of-interest restrictions on his White House transition team than any president before him. But a list of transition team members that his office made public on Friday includes a complicated tangle of ties to private influence-seekers. Among the full roster of about 150 staff members being assigned to government agencies between now and Inauguration Day are dozens of former lobbyists and some who were registered as recently ...

O responsável pela pesquisa, Peter Bradwell, afirmou que as empresas deveriam abandonar sistemas específicos de compartilhamento de informação e agregar utilidades aos sites de relacionamentos, contribuindo para a produtividade, inovação e o trabalho democrático. Mesmo assim, o autor afirma ser ...

Still more cynical political use of children at the official Barack Obama web site: Barack Obama and Joe Biden: The Change We Need | Kids HQ Blog. Includes this classic line: “I am eight years old,” says Zoe, “and George Bush has been the president my whole life. I want to finally have a president I can be proud of.” I’m sure this 8-year old came up with that all by herself. [/sarcasm]

Much ink and many electrons are being spilled over Google's Chrome browser (discussed here twice in recent days): from deep backgrounders to performance benchmarks to its vulnerability to a carpet-bombing flaw. The latest angle to be explored is Chrome's end-user license agreement. It does not look consumer-friendly. "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display ...

CSS layout is awesome, except when your layout calls for a header, a footer, and columns in between. Use float, and content changes can cause columns to wrap. Use absolute positioning, and your footer can crash into your columns. Add the complexity of drag-and-drop layouts, and a new technique is needed. Enter "faux absolute positioning." Align every item to a predefined position on the grid (as with absolute positioning), but objects will still affect the ...
