Screen-shots from multiple versions of Internet Explorer (including 8, beta 2). I won’t go as far as Dan Benjamin, who says he’ll probably drop his VMWare copy now, but this will probably be really useful.

Wow. I need to pass this on.

It seems a little weird to link to a link, but excerpting can show a lot about an article, and the final bit is incredible:

Apple would be ignoring trends seen in its own earnings report if it refused to offer a device in the netbook category. In Wednesday’s earnings call, Apple announced it sold a record number of iPods in the quarter: 22.7 million. With iPods priced no higher than $400, it’s clear the netbook price range is attractive to consumers.

Apple sells a lot of copies of iWork, so maybe they should make a $79 netbook, too.

Gruber nails it here — an iPod is a whole different story from a netbook, it’s ridiculous to compare them; by that logic, every consumer product should be priced the same. I hear potatoes are cheap.

I have no idea what an ‘awesoment’ is supposed to be (well, actually I do — I believe it’s an attempt at making a noun of ‘awesome’, but it seems a weird one to me), but the list is truly awesome.

Particular highlight is the fact that Chuck Norris (11) doesn’t have an abbreviation.

This knowledge of course became apparent in some circles one and a half years ago, when John Gruber used it incorrectly.

Actually, to someone like me — a native speaker of the Danish language, in this case — ‘wherefore’ meaning ‘why’ is quite obvious: it’s the exact same in Danish.

In Danish, ‘why’ is called ‘hvorfor’, which quite literally translates into ‘wherefore’. (‘Hvor’ meaning ‘where’, and ‘for’ meaning… ‘for’.)

But in general, I’m all for a good language lesson.

John August on why joining the Writers Guild of America is mandatory for selling a script in Hollywood.

Of course, John does not make the real case for why unions matter, in discussing only the WGA, but he gives some of the reasons. Mainly that if there weren’t unions, workers would be fucked.

(And in USA, many are. The unions of the States have historically been very poor, at least compared to many countries in Europe. I did a rather extensive paper on this once, and it was very sad to find out how bad it is in the state.)

Although some of these are a little stupid, there are some real gems amongst.

John Resig‘s guide on how to file a proper browser bug. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people John Resig lament over, having never filed a bug report in my life.

Although aimed at clients, there’s sound advice for anyone involved with copy-writing on the Web. Great guide, and one that will hopefully turn into a resource to be reckoned with in time.
