iPhone vs. Android – What’s next is Froyo

Friday, May 21st, 2010

This article on CNN puts a lot of things in perspective related to Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/21/cashmore.iphone.cool/index.html.

The article above brings up the new Google Froyo (Android 2.2)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37261396/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/, which supports flash – and more specifically “…Flash 10.1 which is optimized to run on mobile devices. And more than finally killing off those little question mark cubes that litter the web on your phone, it’ll also be a huge differentiation for Google in the fight against Apple. There’s a line in the sand, and Adobe and Google are on the same side of it…” says msnbc.

The article also makes mention of the old Microsoft and Apple war for the desktop OS, restrictions and open platforms and some interesting insight and perspective into what’s happening now with the mobile market.

It’s all interesting stuff right now!

Google TV is almost here

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Here’s a video from Google explaining what is it and how it’s planned to work along-side your regular TV. Google’s teamed up with SONY, Intel and Logitech on this one — You’ll be able to download and run Android Apps, and developers can start developing today. It seems that certain SONY TVs come with the hardware to run Google TV and for others you can hook it into HDMI — once you buy the hardware the service is seemingly free. (scheduled out in Fall 2010, US Market)

Rounded Corners For CSS3 Website designers

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Now that CSS3 is starting to penetrate, web Design has many exciting additions are worthy of mentioning. One being CSS rounded corners. In the past and most likely the present in order to get the widest penetration with older browsers, web designers and front-end developers used tricks or work-arounds to get the rounded corner implemented with few or no graphic images. After trying many things this one sticks out as one working very well!!  http://dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_roundies/

But if your into CSS3 there are some options for borders in CSS3, of which one is border-radius. Both Firefox and Safari 3 have implemented this function, which allows you to create round corners on box-items.

The code for this example above is actually quite simple:
(The example below is an image so all browsers can see it)

<div style=" background-color: #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 10px;" >

These different corners can also each be handled on their own:
(The above example is an image so all browsers can see it)

These are handled by this:
-moz-border-radius-topleft / -webkit-border-top-left-radius
-moz-border-radius-topright / -webkit-border-top-right-radius
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft / -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius
-moz-border-radius-bottomright / -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius
