Highlights 7/21
- 37 Signals takes venture capital? - The company at the forefront of Getting Real and telling the world not to seek venture capital accepts investment from Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. Never saw this one coming, but I am sure it will be great for both parties. It does seem a little contradictory though.
- Bye Bye Embed - this is a great article and resource on properly embedding video (flash, windows media, quicktime) within a website, and compensating for Internet Exlporer shortcomings. With flash video, I still think other methods are a little better, but it was still very educational.
- Apple profits $472 million - another great quarter from Apple, actually their second best ever. Their market share in the laptop market has doubled from 6% to 12%, and the new desktop is sure to produce the same result when released this fall. Rumors that Apple will be entering the movie rental marketplace with iTunes next month assures exciting things ahead in the 4th quarter.
- The Art of the Finish - What an awesome article from the guys at Blue Flavor. Fantastic, a must read.
- Dealplumber - this resource for online coupons and discounts definitely hit a homerun in my book this week.
- Tesla Motors - Visions of 100% electric cars become reality with new cars from Tesla Motors, costing about one cent per mile. Not only that, but it goes 0 to 60 in about 4 seconds. This is good reason to look forward to 2007.
- New Yahoo Home Page - the web development community has been talking quite a bit about the new Yahoo homepage design. Looks great, hopefully not too much AJAX for the mainstream. Awesome job, though.
