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.
