Creating a Fold With CSS

Drupal makes it easy to create awesome looking themes. Bringing your Photoshop file to CSS can be very easy if you know what you are doing. I recently watched a video that makes the process a little easier. Instead of using an image for a corner fold, we can do it with pure CSS.

Google Buys BumpTop

Over the weekend Google added another company to it's list of buyouts. After buying Labpixies last week, they bought BumpTop over the weekend. BumpTop makes some pretty cool desktops with a 3D interface. Check out this video released in September 2009.

Drupal Radioactivity

Recently, I was working on a project that required a block that would list the most popular content on the site. Initially, I was going to use the core block. However, I came across a great module that gave me more control.

You can Dualboot Android on your iPhone

We all have heard about Jailbreaking an iPhone, and for many, they would love nothing more than to be free of Apple's restrictions. This has allowed many to use their iPhone on other networks and a lot more. Now you can Dualboot the iPhone with Android. For this we can thank Linux on the iPhone project.

Here is a quick look at Android on the iPhone.

The PhotoSketcher

Okay, it is late, and I am going through the web like a mouse hunting for a piece of cheese in an empty house. I just can't find anything that interest me. Then it hits me. It is almost 11pm and that is nearly 2 hours past my bed time. Just as I am about to turn off my computer, I am intrigued by a photo that used Adobe Photoshops' Content-Aware Fill. It was a horrible example.

What is Content-Aware Fill? Some have described it as healing or cloning, but on steroids! From the photo I saw, I would think it was the pissed off version.

Will we see Flash-to-iPhone Compiler in CS5?

I was checking out my favorite site when I stumble upon an interesting article "New iPhone Developer Agreement Bans the Use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler". Well, I am not sure if I should consider it an article or a blog, but to some a blog is an article. Okay, I'll call it a post.

Internet Explorer 6 no longer supported

If you are an IE6 user, you probably are not reading this blog. However, if you managed to find your way through the web of sites no longer supporting your browser, you may like to know Amazon no longer supports IE6. Why, you ask? Well, because my grammar sucks. Yes, my grammar suck, but no, that is not why Amazon no longer supports this archaic browser. They no longer support IE6 because Internet Explorer is out dated, and well, it just sucks.

Here is what they posted:

Is this the end for IE6?

If the end of IE6 is coming, it can't come soon enough. Personally, I am tired of having to write CSS hacks for this browser. The only way to bring an end to IE6 is to stop supporting it. Sure some companies have already stopped supporting this browser. However, people still have not migrated to IE7. That is why I am glad to see Google announce on their blog that they will cease to support very old browsers. This will take place starting March 1st.

Hmmm, what changes will this bring?

Change Admin Password

Okay, so for some reason you don't have the password to your computer. Hmmm, why would that be? Maybe, you got real drunk one night and changed the password, or you're and distrustful spouse/partner that wants to see what his/her significant has on their computer. What ever the reason, there a few things you can do.

If you have your start-up disk or know the password to one of your admin accounts then you are good to go. Visit this site. They have the steps to changing your password.
