After Flickr was bought by Yahoo!, they promised that being a part of Yahoo! would allow them to give more stuff to its users.
Looks like they have come through on that promise. As of today, anyone who has a free Flickr account will see an upgrade in the amount of photos they can upload and [...]

So i was sitting there this morning, using my trusty Firefox browser to checkout the news of Adobe buying Macromedia when, all of a sudden, I get a notice about an update available for my browser. It’s the 1.0.3 update.
Mozilla has slowly been rolling out automatic updates for Firefox and I guess it finally reached [...]

During a technical debate, the authors and supporters of Ta-da List claimed that their technology was shorter and quicker to write than anything else. They claimed it was a revolution in web application development. We created Bla-bla List to prove that other technologies are equally viable and make it possible to offer even more without [...]

I thought we were supposed to be getting smarter and more advanced as time goes on? Getting a high school diploma or GED isn’t even this hard, and they are all multiple choice questions so you have a chance of just guessing to get them right anyway.

Doh - I’ve really gotta start reading the comments [...]

For all you Opera fans Opera 8 has been released. I don’t use it, but you might.

No doubt you’ll see this in a few places today, but it appears that this is real and not some April Fool’s Joke after the fact.
Mike Chambers of Macromedia says that their companies are coming together, Adobe says they are acquiring Macromedia. Either way you look at it, the two are coming together in [...]

As a Web designer and developer, one of the more time consuming tasks is chasing down broken links in a site with a few hundred pages.
Kevin Freitas has released an extension for Firefox called LinkChecker.
Check webpage links at a glance with simple color coding. Ditch those massive listings of bad links that provide no context [...]

Over on Signal vs. Noise, guest author Marc Hedlund has a great write up on the building of O’Reilly’s CodeZoo. He hits on some great topics including their use of Joel Spolsky’s “Playing Dead” model, creating a simple interface by reducing user options, and tools for project management.

I only get about 5 minutes in front of the computer today so I figured I would do a fun story post. Basically I will start with a sentence and the next person follows with a sentence of their own. You cannot leave consecutive comments and it can only be one sentence and relative to [...]

I’ve heard of this kind of thing before, but really only when people hand-crafted bogus research papers.

Jeremy Stribling said on Thursday that he and two fellow MIT graduate students questioned the standards of some academic conferences, so they wrote a computer program to generate research papers complete with nonsensical text, charts and diagrams.
The trio [...]

I was thinking of only plugging Acapella Nintendo (which, btw, if you don’t like, you have no soul), but since Metafilter had the first honours, I thought I’d plug something that may have been missed and almost equally awesome: Jake Kaufman’s Arrangements, including video game tributes, and even acapella treatments.
Specifically, Michael (MP3), a rap acapella [...]

The doorbell at my local Gamestop jangled as two teenaged boys lumbered inside off the street. They gravitated immediately to the PSP display, of course – it’s the hot new thing, the epicenter of a rarely equaled hypestorm, the pearl of great price for this particular month. It was about one week after [...]

According to Evan Williams, his Gmail account is showing an rss readers above his inbox.
You can add your own feeds and/or choose from their selection. It also swaps between feed headlines and ads, which is pretty clever, cuz it gets you looking at the ads a lot more (I’ve found). Each is labeled, of course. [...]

There has been a lot of talk lately about Google vs. Yahoo!, and I can see why. Since Yahoo! launched their Research Labs, they have released the Yahoo! 360 blogging/photo/etc. site and today they released a beta of the new Yahoo! News site.
BTW, if you haven’t had a chance to check out Yahoo! 360, I [...]

So I ran across this site a while back that let you create notes in your browser that could be saved, re-opened, even subscribed to via RSS.
Tony over at Ponderer.org has taken it a step further and combined it with Greasemonkey, the Firefox extension that lets you activate user scripts on just about any web [...]

Dave Shea has a first look at the upcoming Avalon/XAML technologies from Microsoft. From a technology perspective there really is nothing new to see here, but Dave gives some great insight at the end of the article that should have us all a bit worried:

The past couple of years of IE security problems have raised [...]
