It’s not hard to like a book on web forms that starts with the simple truth: “Forms suck.” Luke Wroblewski’s Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks is quite a good book, filled with practical advice told in an engaging manner. I can’t imagine any serious web interaction designer not having it on her bookshelf, although it doesn’t get into much beyond basic-HTML web forms. If you want detail on complex Flash or Ajax applications, ...

Google had made a lot of high jumps with boasts of its browser; Chrome’s speed, something that definitely had teased its competitors. Now Microsoft won’t bother to get into the rumble and try as much to take user attention away from Chrome. Mozilla however took it up and decided to put up a test and check out the performance of its forthcoming version of Firefox compared to Chrome. Chrome has been boasting about using JavaScript ...

Built on top of the Apple sponsored WebKit engine, the browser offers several security features that we have only seen so far in the beta releases of IE8. The most interesting feature discussed so far is the strict memory separation afforded by the technology, [...]

Adaptive Path is a pretty homogeneous company, technologically speaking. We’re a 100% Mac shop. Some of us fire up Parallels to create a Visio document or to play with Expressions, but this is a rarity. As a developer this limits my ability put a page design through it’s paces on disparate platforms and web browsers. Also, we only have a limited need for browser testing. Many of our projects don’t require us to deliver production-level ...

How many times have you scrounged through Google to figure out how to do a certain thing the way you want? How many times have you spent sleepless nights just searching for a particular widget? Well, while I’m in no doubt that, almost always, Google must have bailed you out of your ’situation’, have you ever stopped and wondered how the developers built those widgets? no, you do not, necessarily, have to be a web ...

Bernard’s title @ ReadWriteWeb, Breaking Free of Outlook perfectly matches my own sentiment: in fact I called the MS Client Outlook-prison repeatedly. Unlike Bernard, I escaped from prison in stages: First Using Gmail to boost non-gmail productivity Next using Gmail servers with my own domain but still in the Outlook client Finally breaking entirely free, using Gmail natively (web interface). This was part of a bigger move, ditching almost all desktop software, moving online. (Gmail ...

You may have last seen gOS, the free, Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, touted here as a way to revive an old PC with a webapp focus. Now there's three flavors of gOS available, including a "Space" release that was designed with a Mac-like slickness to its interface, and a lot of MySpace functionality thrown in, on top of all the other Google, Facebook, and other link-ups. "Space" ups the hardware demands from the standard gOS (to ...

"With mac-like slickness" what kind of crap... but the gOS distro seems kind of slick, and the lifehacker people is kind of fanbois, so what to expect...

This is terribly old. gOS Space has been out for over 6 months now. It's definitely worth a try if you want to revive an older computer with style :)

This seems like a step in the right direction. Ubuntu is the distro of choice so now more options are appearing which use Ubuntu as a foundation. That's better than trying to figure out if Fedora or Slackware is the better alternative.
