The UI of tomorrow devices
by chris on July 28th, 2010

For so many years in web development I have been watching with interest where the UI design is heading to and how it is evolving. These days it looks that the hardware limitations have been overcome – the CPUs are getting faster and faster, the video cards are getting some crazy FPS even in heavy graphic applications, the memory and storage capacity has jumped hundreds of times compared to what we had 10yrs ago, monitors and device displays are getting bigger and with better resolution, and finally touch displays are becoming common….So now when hardware so powerful that you can only struggle when using some really complex software, for UI designers sky is the limit.

Out of the topic: I love Google and laughing with them is great…
by chris on May 25th, 2010

I love Google so far ( I really hope the are not goin to turn into a Big Bad monster somewhere in the future ) and i like to watch some of those funny videos that google labs and some random guys are making for their technologies.

Heres one[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1922981] for Google Street View, that I confess, I dropped on the floor laughing when I first watched it ( Thank you guys from Collegehumor.com )

Have you ever thought about HTML5/CSS3 site soon ?
by chris on May 25th, 2010

I had one of those thoughts few weeks ago when I was checking whats around those HTML5/CSS3 web sites. I feel really tempted to go and make my next project based on those two technologies but…. Unfortunately its still a dream as I will have to fight with buncha angry calls from my clients that “a lot of our users can’t see this page” and by a lot they would probably meant all those lazy people that are still using IE6 (there are still 50% of IE total mass of users that use this 9 years ofd browser….WHAT???? ) or FF2 or even some other more exotic old-fashioned browsers from the last century.

But anyway, its good to think about all those nice web sites that are around the corner and that we will be designing in near future. While we are waiting on this to become reality and HTML5/CSS3 to become standard you can check some nice examples of what can be done here ( http://html5gallery.com/ )

Microsoft saves us all…
by chris on May 25th, 2010

Microsoft save us all please and finally force upgrade this IE6!

I’ve heard rumors that Microsoft are planning on a force upgrade of all IE versions <6 to IE8 and I hope its true.

You wont believe it how many people are still using this outdated 5 years old browser but….its the end of 2009 and there are still around 25% of users that are using IE6x which is almost half of the IE users. I am really wondering….do people that have access to all new browsers with all the new nice features ( and its free ) and haven’t updated their 5 years old browser deserve all our effort. The unfortunate answer is – even if they don’t you have to because they are potential clients of our clients.

So…dear dear guys from Microsoft ( I hope it’s all true ) – please force upgrade this ASAP.

Are you all tired from fighting those IE bugs and glitches with CSS ?
by chris on May 25th, 2010

Ok, recently I have been reading some materials from this year An Event Apart conferences and there I’ve noticed this little nice library that claims it fixes most of the major IE problems. So anyone who wants to try and instead of spending days of their life fighting ‘how to make this block to show on the same place in damn IE like it does in all the other nice browsers’ can try it (http://code.googl e.com/p/ie7-js/)
I can’t say if its working how it pretends, but it looks like an nice try (7kb) and effort to add link to the .js into your page. If it even saves me  1hr of my time it’s worth it.
I am planning on testing it on our next project so I will have some info updated here once I see the results.
