A better way to use icon fonts — yatil. Eric Eggert about web development & design.

by Spone
There are some browser and screen reader combinations that treat CSS not only as a presentational thing, but apply meaning according to the used properties. For example some won’t read a list if you use list-style: none; in your CSS. This assumes that the meaning of your HTML is overwritten by the visual style: If it doesn’t look like a dumb bullet list, it must be no list at all. I’m not sure I conclude with that assumption, but that isn’t the main point of the article here.

Apple hit by boycott call over worker abuses in China | Technology | The Observer

by night.kame

Earlier this month Apple took the unusual step of releasing a list of all the firms in its worldwide supply chain as part of its 2011 audit of human rights conditions at factories where it has partnerships.However, the company's own list made for grim reading. It revealed that a staggering 62% of the 229 facilities that it was involved with were not in compliance with Apple's 60-hour maximum working week policy. Almost a third had problem with hazardous waste.Cook insisted in his email that Apple did not turn a blind eye to conditions in its supplier network. But he did warn that the firm was likely to discover more problems. "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues," he said.

Tim Cook, CEO actuel d'Apple, est responsable de toute la partie production depuis son arrivée en 1998. La fermeture des usines Apple : c'est Cook. La transformation d'Apple, fabricant informatique, en un bureau d'études couplé à une agence de publicité : c'est Cook. L'iPhone 4 blanc avec un an de retard : c'est encore Cook. Depuis 10 ans, Cook a joué la carte "sweatshops" et engrangé les profits ; ça commence à se voir, mais ça n'est plus un problème : l'argent est là, n'a jamais été distribué aux actionnaires, il peut s'acheter une virginité tel le mafieux versant son obole pour la restauration du presbytère.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Sony, Too

by night.kame

Sony should no more abandon the point-and-shoot camera market than Apple should abandon the music-playing iPod market, but Sony has to recognize that it’s a business in decline and that the future is in putting better cameras into phones.

Smart Pad pour iPad sur l’iTunes App Store

by oseres (via)
Smart Pad stands out among calendar apps because its power lies in its flexibility and in the level of detail...allowing users to easily switch between day and month views, or side-by-side views of a day’s schedule along with a list of tasks, notes, projects, or a history of completed tasks."

How To Use WordPress Custom Post Type Query to Sort by Date | DesignHammer Website Design and Development in North Carolina

by mozkart (via)
One thing we were trying to achieve was an Events listing solution that was fundamentally simple. Date, times, location and a description. Many of the events plugins out there seem to store their data in a database table specifically created for the plugin, something that won't play nice with MultiSite. The ideal solution would be a list of events that stores its data in each network site's unique database table structure. Therefore, we chose to set this up as a custom post type with a date picker attached to a custom meta box. We would store the date in a custom field. Simple enough. One thing that had us racking our brains for a while was how to sort the dates in a useful way.

Moving The Web Forward « Paul Irish

by karlcow, 2 comments

Hi, Paul. Actually, I tweeted about "Move the Web Forward" on Blue Beanie Day the moment I saw it, and I linked to it from Facebook and Google+, but carry on with the character assassination. I tweeted about it without knowing who was behind it (doesn't matter), and without being *entirely* clear what it was about (you have some copy problems I would have been glad to help with). I was pleased to discover this blog post as I thought, "Ah, now I can reach out to the people behind that site and help them publicize it more" but then, a few paragraphs in, I saw your shitty little whiney character assassination of me (quoted above) and thought, oh, well. Why do you do this to yourself? Why do you create something nice and then shit on someone else? What kind of behavior is that? You did the same thing when you complained about A List Apart even though we've reached out to you for *three years* asking you for content and input. Calling something on the web crap is always a childish move, particularly when that thing is open and your feedback and content have been solicited for it many times. I gather you have some unexplained grudge against me. Or against the young dude in Ireland who created some web standards buttons for fun. If you think my help of his project is how I earn my living, you need to get out of the cubicle more. I'm usually polite to everyone, even very rude people, but you're being both whiney *and* a dick, which is a hard combo most people to pull off (fortunately most people don't try). Your project looks cool and could benefit from outside help, but I won't be helping because you are an asshole. You are, I think, the only asshole I've met in 20 years of doing web work. Fuck off.

Daring Fireball Linked List: The Death of the Spec

by night.kame

As our technology becomes more humanely designed, subjective factors outweigh objective ones. Subjective factors can’t be assigned neat little numbers ranging from 1-10.

Daring Fireball Linked List: 'Opponents'

by night.kame

Silverlight was an opponent to Flash. Apple didn’t favor its own proprietary plugin over Flash. There’s no QuickTime plugin on iOS either.

Ça c'est sûr, il ne faudrait pas laisser le navigateur ouvert.

Apple’s view was, and is, that there should be no proprietary web browser plugins, period.

La vision d'Apple est que si on veut offrir plus que la version propriétaire de HTML supportée par Mobile Safari, il faut acheter un ordinateur Apple et payer pour avoir le droit de développer des applications, et payer pour se former à des outils et bibliothèques propriétaires qu'aucune autre plateforme au monde n'utilise. La vision d'Apple c'est : aboule le pognon, et pas de concurrence, point. Apple c'est l'ouverture... à la chinoise.
