I just want it to be 'outstanding', and using 'lime' as a background-color achieves just that There is however one gimmick that does make my tweakblog stand out: it's the '3D cube' in my header that's just pure CSS (and as a developer of tweakers.net I made an exception in the tweakblogs code to get it there ).

Because we are still actively using JSMin+ at Tweakers.net we did make some minor improvements since I released version 1.3 for the public now more than 2 years ago, but I never felt those improvements warranted a new public version. Until now.

Helaas blijkt uit hetzelfde bericht dat deze regeling ook waarschijnlijk weer tijdelijk van aard zal zijn; hoe dat er in de toekomst uit zal gaan zien laat zich raden...

"De afgelopen weken hebben wij de meest populaire websites van Nederland gecontroleerd op webstandaarden zoals die ook door Internet Explorer 9 ondersteund worden. Uw website hoort hier ook bij.

It's the official result of the W3C HTML5 Test Suite! Of course, we at Tweakers.net already knew that. We have even dedicated a special page to Internet Explorer 9 and all its goodness and have 'optimized' some of our very own site-features for IE9 (see the two demo's at the bottom of the showcase page). And now even W3C declares IE9 (latest platform preview version) the most HTML5 compliant browser available at this date!

Is it a very important feature and should you cater to the lowest denominator and build using progressive enhancement, or can you use graceful degradation and/or supply a lower-level alternative, or is it just a gimmick and is it ok to ignore part of your audience?

One of those is the so-called 'Pinned Sites' feature which makes it possible to 'pin' websites to the taskbar in Windows 7 making them part of the desktop as if they were applications. Even though this is actually a nice feature if you happen to use Windows 7, the actual implementation does have some flaws.

The event in Hilversum will be an all-weekend dev-a-thon where around 80 developers will be sharing experiences with new web technology and creating games using that technology. Last week Google contacted me if I would be interested in delivering the keynote speech for this event in Hilversum.

Provided you don't already use a banner blocker, and I don't mean just noticed that there was a banner (some flashing moving thing on top of the page or on the side, or maybe even covering the content you were just about to start reading and making you race for the close button), but really looked at it? Maybe even clicked it? And if you did, do you look at banners all the time? Well, don't worry if you don't; at least banners know when you are not looking, and they're telling it to the advertisers.

What started out as an exciting new technology with endless possibilities now only seems to revolve around advertisements and SEO in order to attract as many visitors as possible in order to maximize the income on said former advertisements.

In internet-terms that's a lifetime; back in those days Firefox didn't exist yet (Mozilla Phoenix was on version 0.8 or something and IE6 was the dominant browser), we didn't have HTML5 or javascript libraries and web standards was just a grass roots movement. It was hard to make dynamic cross-browser things back then, yet I managed to create something that still works in browsers today.

I pointed out in the comments that there might be more in play than just the fact that some browsers don't follow the specifications (notably mobile browsers) to the letter with regards to DOM-tree building.

Both posts seem to focus on video on the web and it is striking that they both mention H.264 as the codec of choice, a codec that is neither free nor open and has little to do with HTML5 itself.
