• HTML 5: Will your CMS ever be the same?

• Although HTML 5 is still a draft specification, it’s impact is being felt across the technology landscape as this is written.

• Kudos and Boodos for Apple’s Outlook

• Amen to this article on the market segmentation of smartphone users into discreet pools of consumer and business demographics.

• Eco-Realistic: A Proposal for Non-profit Development

• In reading a well-articulated yet unsurprising article on the eco-friendly sub-trends emerging in 2009 by TrenWatchers, I was reminded of a non-profit idea I had decades ago.

• AJAX Permeates Wall Street

• Sanebull is an innovative and functional desktop for active traders. I thought I was in love with Google Finance, but this takes a drastic leap forward in terms of creating a unified dashboard. Although I’m a big fan of the live updates, until charting is implemented, I can only bank on this site for it’s [...]
