While I’m not an advocate for online piracy, I understand why people illegally download music, videos and software online. Digital media can get quite expensive, especially when consumed in large quantities. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) has been heavily debated in Congress over the last few weeks with both sides taking heavy stands for [...]
In one of my previous posts, I talked about how you can switch back to Yahoo Mail Classic. Unfortunately, as Yahoo continues to change its methods, its getting harder for users to switch back to their old mail. Well, for those of you who are having problems, I have an alternative solution that doesn’t involve [...]
The CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings, sent out an email to subscribers earlier this week apologizing for his bungling of the DVD/streaming separation in pricing earlier this summer. Which was quickly followed by yet another bungling… the introduction of Qwikster. I never did subscribe to the DVDs-by-mail, but have definitely been a fan of the [...]
How many people can say that they work in an industry that continues to evolve on a daily basis? I’m proud to say that I am one of those lucky enough to work in website design and development. I often tell people that I’m “building the internet one website at a time” and it’s true. [...]
Blogging is perhaps one of the best ways to build content for a website. Unfortunately, when you spend a lot of time working online, it’s not always easy.
One of the things that made the internet so popular was all of the fun you could have online. Tragically, much of the fun and games we once experienced during the infancy of the internet has been lost. However, just today, I came into contact with a neat little website that was shared with me [...]
Google has released another feature to its search engine results page: Google Instant Preview. Basically, a small preview image of the website is loaded when you click on the magnifying glass next to the listing link. So is this another reason to design a good looking website? I’m not sure how users will eventually utilize [...]
Today I downloaded the beta version of the new Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7. I’ve seen lots of hype on IE9 – specifically that Micorosft has been working hard to make it standards-compliant. Well, its about time! As a web designer, having to deal with browser inconsistencies is perhaps my number one headache. If [...]
If you don’t like the All-New Yahoo Mail design, you have the option to switch back to the Classic view. It’s actually pretty easy, but the option to do so is hidden away (presumably because Yahoo really doesn’t want you to use the Classic view). After you’ve logged into your Yahoo Mail account, look for [...]
After writing the article on how to clean out your Hotmail inbox using their Sweep feature, I decided to take a quick look at my good ol’ Yahoo inbox to see if it hid a similar feature. Sure enough, it did! Although you won’t find it listed under sweep, with just a couple of clicks [...]
