Who is your representative, and how much did Hollywood pay them to support SOPA/PIPA?
I wondered why some of my tabs in IE were piss-yellow. Those Microsoft wordsmiths (not to be confused with SongSmiths) provided me a detailed, concise and crystal clear explanation.
Enhanced tabbed browsing
Have you ever opened a large number of tabs only to find yourself overwhelmed when you go back to review them? Tab groups in Internet Explorer 8 help make tabbed browsing easier. When a link from one tab is opened in a new tab, that new tab is placed next to the originating tab and color-coded, so that you can quickly see which tabs have related content. If you close a tab that’s part of a group, another tab from the same group is displayed, enabling you to remain within the context of the current task rather than suddenly looking at an unrelated site.
By right-clicking any tab, you can close the tab, close the tab group, or remove the tab from a group. From the same menu, you can refresh one or all tabs, open a new tab, reopen the last tab closed, or see a list of all recently closed tabs and reopen any or all of them.
The transition means that UX designers no longer design “flat sites” or interactions where the company pushes out content, but rather ones that foster rich community interaction and contribution. Designing for a community experience brings new design challenges and solutions for sites to capture the collective creativity of members and, ultimately, rise above other sites.
I can’t help but think that this is still just another piece of effective design, and that unique content is still the hub around which floats everything else.
WOW! Another daily double. Not only is this a LIST (ok, maybe not a year end list) but it’s also about Dear-Sweetums-Leader Kim. I have to take issue that these aren’t as crazy as Kim Jong Il was.
YES! A story about the value and great important of TOP YEAR END LISTS!!
Adding to my year-end gluttony of LISTS wouldn’t be complete without a mention of what a bad year it’s been for tyrannical dictators. RIP to http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ and Welcome to the world http://kimjongunlookingatthings.tumblr.com/!
