Bookmarks for 26/01 through 02/02

These are links I found interesting for 26/01 through 30/01:

  • GlimmerBlocker — Ad blocker for Safari implemented as a non-intrusive proxy.
  • Noscope | Journal | Extra Image Tags Plugin — This is a very minimalistic Wordpress plugin, which finds all images you insert into your posts, and wrap them in extra divs, so you can style the hell out of them.
  • The $300 Million Button — “It's hard to imagine a form that could be simpler: two fields, two buttons, and one link. Yet, it turns out this form was preventing customers from purchasing products from a major e-commerce site, to the tune of $300,000,000 a year. What was even worse: the designers of the site had no clue there was even a problem.”
  • Cops Talk Funny — “From recruits in academies to senior officers and command staff, you talk funny when you take the stand. Is it in the water at the academies; is there a secret society where you're taught this special language?”
  • Videogames outsell DVD and Blu-ray in 2008 — Retail sales of videogames overtook that of DVD and Blu-ray for the first time, as sales of packaged media grew 6 per cent worldwide to hit USD 61 billion in 2008, according to Media Control GfK International.

Yet more pixel goodness

Various user interface graphics by Susan Kare, who has done (among others) the famous icons for early Mac, Windows 3.0, OS/2 Warp and more modern icons such as the icons used in Gnome. And don’t miss the cute t-shirts with her icons. Moof!

(I’m starting to feel like MeFi…)
