Weekly links
If there is anything you think we should read or know about, don’t hesitate to post a comment, contact us on Twitter or through any other means.
The picks this week are:
- A Button That Makes You Forget: On Deleting My Google Web History
- Replacing the -9999px hack (new image replacement)
- Web browser market share: Internet Explorer and Chrome down, Firefox up. Interesting part is that there might have been skewed results due to Chrome’s pre-rendering feature
- Abstraction Begets Fragmentation
- Going Simple with JavaScript
- How to display your Android screen on your desktop
- KinectJS – HTML5 goes motion
- Inbox Zero – An invaluable resource for anyone who struggles with too many emails (as many developers do)
