Text reflections with css and javascript: jQuery text reflection plugin
If you want to create a reflected text header, an often used solution is to dynamically create an image for each header which includes the reflection. However, this has some disadvantages. Therefore, I have created a jQuery plugin which uses only javascript and css to create reflections, and all you have to do is drop it into your page to make it work.
Why the iPhone causes you to make spelling errors
Do you ever wonder why you are making all those spelling errors on your iPhone? Or rather – why the iPhone keeps inserting them for you?
This is because the auto correct function has a few obvious flaws in the way it works: It’s in the wrong place, it has the wrong trigger and it is not designed for a touch interface.
Sign in with oAuth where Twitter.com is blocked
In two days, Twitter will start to shut down basic authentication on their API. The only way to connect to the API will then be by using oAuth. This will force anyone who wants to use a Twitter web app to give that app access to their account. Every app has to redirect them to Twitter.com to do that.
However, in some places Twitter.com is being blocked – by censoring governments or overly zealous system administrators. That means that users in those places can no longer use Twitter. But as an app developer, you can quite easily build a workaround for some of those users.
Great music videos featuring infographics
If you love infographics (like I do), this music video by the Norwegian band Röyksopp is a must see. I only came across it recently, but it apparently won the MTV Europe Music Award for best music video back in 2002. And if you like that video, you may also like the version of little Red Riding Hood by Tomas Nilsson, that was inspired by it.
Does Twitter turn its back on Chinese web users?
This week, Twitter has announced that it’s changing the way people sign in to a method called oAuth. From a security point of view, the new sign in system offers several advantages.
However, users in censored countries like China and Iran will no longer be able to use Twitter through the web. Until now, Twitter has not yet come up with a solution for this.
