Firefox is at the time being the only browser capable of displaying correct colors with a wide-gamut display.

Re:Don't reinvent the scrollbar on Wednesday August 21, 2013 @02:14AM (#6248493)
Am I the only one who actually likes this approach of having horizontal progress-bar on articles? Its not a scrollbar as it fills up from the left rather than moving a small block across the screen. Living here in Northern Europe I've always read left to right and counting percentages 0>100 seems more natural to visualize left>right rather than top>down.
Re:New UI Pattern: Website Loading Bars on Tuesday August 20, 2013 @07:36AM (#6242987)
I can't recall right away what website had it but if I read a really long article on my mobile phone, it showed a similar bar on the top but that was showing me progress on how far I had read. As iOS hides the scroll-bar once I stop to read, I found it a nice touch.

I'm pretty happy with our government's website. The first few versions where a complete data overload and looked liked they were made in MS Excel. Now its pretty fresh and well structured in my opinion. link: www.eesti.ee
Each bus, trolley and tram has a GPS device. The data seems to be refreshed after ~10 second intervals. Not sure if an API exists to create other apps based on the data.

I hope they'll release an iOS version soon.
Re:Flickr Has the Opportunity to Become the Next Flickr on Thursday December 13, 2012 @12:27AM (#4914373)
I agree with that. 500px is a bit elitist (although does have a lot of 'quality' photography in the mainstream sense). Flickr on the other hand is a lot more loose and if one knows how/what to search, there can be real gems and aspiring new artists to be discovered, alongside all the old masters.

Also I think choice of the low-res camera is related to it being better shielded against the space radiation http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350448710...

Its still somehow unbelievable that I'm actually seeing photos from another planet almost realtime.

Now that Facebook is going downhill (for me at least) I'm again actually contemplating the idea of getting a TV.
