When we clear the media smoke screen from around her death, what we’re left with is a woman who came to represent all that’s paltry and wretched about Britain today.

Refreshingly honest statement from Apple on their decision to drop the iPhone NDA for released apps.
Search through Google like it’s 2001. This site, first launched in October 2001, sadly doesn’t figure in the results, but a fun trip back in time nevertheless.
Very clever ad by Nintendo - the level of detail is impressive. This site from HEMA is another example of this type of ‘fake’ site built in Flash.
This will strike a chord with any developer who has had to parse a browser’s user-agent string into something meaningful. It’s now got the point where it’s become an irrelevance.
As an aside, the article contains a bit of trivia which I wasn’t aware of - the name ‘Mozilla’ is derived from ‘Mosaic Killer’ (Mosaic being the dominant [only] browser at the time). Mosaic were obviously none too chuffed, and the name was changed to Netscape…
