Don’t delib­er­ately break stuff in front of your wife.

“I was play­ing around the other day and had a bright spark. Is it pos­si­ble to do the “light­box” effect with­out JavaScript? The answer is yes! Thanks to the :tar­get pseudo class. With­out fur­ther ado I intro­duce Future­box.” Pretty awe­some tool.

“A change in Bozmean’s city hir­ing pol­icy — two days and one world­wide reac­tion after we broke the story, Boze­man will no longer ask appli­cants for social net­work­ing user names and pass­words.” Thank good­ness this was just stu­pid of the city.

“We just added exter­nal resource load­ing to our Flash index­ing capa­bil­i­ties. This means that when a SWF file loads con­tent from some other file—whether it’s text, HTML, XML, another SWF, etc.—we can index this exter­nal con­tent too, and asso­ciate it with the par­ent SWF file and any doc­u­ments that embed it.” Google now has some expanded abil­i­ties on crawl­ing Flash files.

“Sci­en­tists obtained images in three colours which clearly demon­strate the supe­ri­or­ity of Her­schel, the largest infrared space tele­scope ever flown.” I can’t wait to see what this tele­scope will produce.

Face­book responds with : “To be incom­pli­ance with US law, we need to pro­hibit com­mer­cial activ­i­ties from embar­goed coun­tries. As events in Iran have demon­strated, we have allowed, and plan to con­tinue to allow, users to set up accounts from those coun­tries and com­mu­ni­cate, as long as they are not engag­ing in com­mer­cial activ­i­ties on the site.

This sec­tion you are refer­ring to was addressed in our response to user com­ments on the State­ment of Rights and Respon­si­bil­i­ties. They are very com­mon terms, though they are worded dif­fer­ently by dif­fer­ent companies…Our terms have caused some con­fu­sion so we may also pro­pose revis­ing this sec­tion in the future to be more clear.”

Wil Wheaton explains.

“AT&T used its Face­book page to squash the rumors and left no doubt that the claims were untrue.” Good to hear, though what it will finally be is some­thing else.

“A key rally against Iran’s pres­i­den­tial elec­tions will go ahead on Sat­ur­day — in defi­ance of Supreme Leader Aya­tol­lah Khamenei — oppo­si­tion sources say.” This is going to get ugly.

Tak­ing Microsoft’s mar­ket­ing promo and how it should actu­ally look.

Don’t let your veg­eta­bles eat you.
