bricss:
There are some pretty complex testing tools for responsive designs out there. I even see people constantly resizing their browser window using on-screen rulers. The easiest approach to me is just a simple page with a bunch of iframes, like Matt Kersley’s test page. Because I always ended up…

If you ever sit back and wonder what it might have been like to live in the late Pleistocene, you’re not alone. That’s right about when humans emerged from a severe population bottleneck and began to expand globally. But, apparently, life back then might not have been too different than how we live today (that is, without the cars, the written language, and of course, the...

The driving force of Big Data is transforming the concept of knowledge in way that will have deep and profound consequences for...

Not sure if I completely believe the quote. To me, it’s someone in packaging that got a little carried away when talking to advertisers:
What most users don’t know is that the new features being introduced are all centered around increasing the value of Facebook to advertisers, to the point where Facebook representatives have been selling the idea that Timeline is actually about...
