“It is therefore more cost effective in many cases to continue to use IE6 and rely on other measures, such as firewalls and malware scanning software, to further protect public sector internet users.”

The government respond to the petition about upgrading to IE6. Oh dear, what a fail indeed.

They will need to update in 2014 when IE6 reaches ‘end of life’ anyway but their slowness at this is a big disappointment and holds back the web.

“Someone has it backwards — it is HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and H.264 (all supported by the iPhone and iPad) that are open and standard, while Adobe’s Flash is closed and proprietary.”

We are always getting asked by clients “How can we prevent people stealing our images?”.

There really is no way to do it unless you watermark your images. All other ways can quite easily be avoided.

A client sent this site as an example; the site has disabled right-click. I recorded this quick video showing how I can simply drag-and-drop the image to steal it.

Oh and I just realised that I could use the link above to skip straight to it… hmm nevermind! :)

“How would you use flash on an iPad or iPhone though? Anything Flash that requires the keyboard and the mouse at the same time wouldn’t work… Anything that uses arrow keys wouldn’t work… Hovering over controls for drop down menus on flash websites wouldn’t work… Enabling Flash wouldn’t do ***** all but enable ads, why exactly do we want this so bad?”
— One of the best arguments against flash on the iPhone/iPad yet (apart from the fact that flash is not a web standard, not open source, slow and buggy on the Mac and is fast becoming obselete)
