Caution: For Gmail Users; A Bug Discovered

Your review, sharing and suggestions are so important for me. Please leave a comment and ReTweet this article.

this article reported by techcrunch.com today about a gmail bug is really important.

Former TechCrunch writer Ouriel Ohayon was one of the first to signal the bug on Twitter – with many of his followers echoing the phenomenon – and a quick search shows other users are seeing the same thing. Some are evidently fearing that their accounts were hacked or at least accessed by someone else.

According to this post, the error stems from a change Google made in how it treats the body of an e-mail through IMAP, although the company has yet to confirm this to us (or publicly).

Your review, sharing and suggestions are so important for me. Please leave a comment and ReTweet this article.

this article on techcrunch.com is summarizing the PayPal X Adaptice Payments APIs.

We’re at PayPal’s much-hyped PayPal Innovate X 2009, the payments company’s first dedicated developer conference. PayPal, which reported strong earnings recently, is hoping to engage developers in producing applications on top of PayPal’s newly released API. eBay’s CEO John Donahoe said this morning that PayPal is set to be bigger than eBay in the near future, forecasting the payment company’s continued growth and dominance in the space. We reported on parts of the open platform here and here. PayPal is already testing the platform with startups Payvment, FundRazr, Lottay and TwitPay. PayPal is officially opening up its PayPal X platform to developers and will be presenting a roadmap for its view of the future of payments.

Article: Fireworks vs Photoshop Compression

Your review, sharing and suggestions are so important for me. Please leave a comment and ReTweet this article.

this short article on webdesignerwall.com is comparing the important graphic editing softwares photoshop and fireworks about their compression powers.

Surprisingly enough, based on the findings from my recent survey there are quite a bit of Fireworks users. Personally, I never used Fireworks. Photoshop is alway my first choice for designing—from image editing to designing mock-ups. But, did you know that Fireworks is way better than Photoshop in term of image compression? I’m not a software engineer, I can’t explain why Fireworks can compress better. But I can prove it to you by showing a series of experiments I did.

Article: 20 Do’s and Don’ts of Effective Web Design

Your review, sharing and suggestions are so important for me. Please leave a comment and ReTweet this article.

mike smith from webdesignledger.com posted this useful list for web designers.

When you are creating a website (or hiring a web/blog designer to create one for you), there are specific items you need to be aware of. Things that normally wouldn’t cross your mind. For the average person who wants a website or blog for their business, they are after one very important thing – sales. Now, they may tell you that they want the big flashy logos, or the overdone textures/gradients, but it is the job of a well skilled web designer to steer their clients in the right direction.
