sigh… firefox doesn’t understand that the only reason anyone would ever use text-shadow is to compensate for the terrible rendering of light text on a dark background.
same property applied in both browsers: text-shadow: #000 0 0 0;
my three favorites, enlarged: barely digital, channel frederator and $99 dollar music videos.
created by our intern, miranda. see this post for the full set.
ew, that is pretty gross.
the webdeveloper toolbar update didn’t fix it either. and… search is broken again! horaay!
important new things have been added for web peeps:
@font-face (previously only safari supported this)opacity property instead of -moz-opacity (um, yay?)text-shadow to assist with light text on dark backgrounds (previously only safari)word-wrap so that retardedly submitted content (read: 500 characters, no spaces) doesn’t escape out of a column. no more overflow-x: hidden!:before and :after

sick in the head
sick in the heart
sick with the sickness of
six sick parts
sick in the money
sick in the chest
sick with the sickness of
no damn rest
sick in the smile
sick to the touch
sick with the sickness of
wanting too much.
“woah, $4.99 for @birdfeedapp? somebody better tell me if it’s worth it before i spend that kind of $$.”
nostrich asks: In what way is this not a perfectly valid sentiment?
first, we are talking about an iphone. who owns iphones? people who can pay 100 dollars a month for their phone bill. that said, 5 dollars should not be considered heavy spending. if you consider it to be so, and you own an iphone, you are probably not managing your finances very well.
second, some people can’t afford to throw many days and hours of their time into developing, maintaining and updating software without some kind of return. how hard are customers gonna low ball them? the problem is the attitude of thinking that five dollars is a lot of money for a piece of software. it seems as though everyone thinks 70 cents per download is a fair profit for the makers. you know what? fuck you people.
third, and marginally related: this is just a tiny little branch of a much larger problem. people who make things are constantly trying to get one over on their consumers, and people who buy things are always trying to get something free from the makers. for this reason, no one can trust in anything and everyone sucks. and let me reiterate- it’s the consumer’s fault too. each side provokes the other to be worse.
