Even while all digital cameras originally capture the image in color, black-and-white printing still has its charm and followers and many of those, who loved traditional black-and-white in the traditional wet darkroom, will be looking for digital black-and-white prints as well. The charm of black-and-white prints comes from its abstraction, from its strong graphic impression, from the reduction of the image to the essential. It may seem very easy to print in black-and-white—even easier than in color. But that is not the case.

Everyone is selling SSL certificates. Really? Not really. It turns out that the majority of quality SSL certificates are actually dispensed from the same company in some shape or form — VeriSign. VeriSign currently owns at least Thawte, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL. In other words, they own all but one of the "older-than-dirt" high-ubiquity certificate authorities, GlobalSign. Here's the lowdown:

A sense of movement is often the differentiator between Flash-heavy web sites and standards-based sites. It's high time to revisit the CSS Sprites technique from four years ago, and see if we can't interject a little bit of movement of our own.

Over the past few months we’ve had to create a few iPhone mock ups for presentations. The problem we’ve encountered is the lack of resources to help us design something efficiently.

Tests are run selector by selector, with an interval to prevent the browser from freeezing.
