Excerpt from: Amazon.com Help: Kindle for Mac
Can I print or make annotations and highlights on Kindle for PC?
The Kindle for Mac application doesn’t offer the ability to print content. Features not yet available on the Kindle for Mac application include the ability to make notes, highlight or clip text, shop from within the application or search within a book. Text-to-Speech and dictionary look-up are also not available with the Kindle for Mac application.
You can add bookmarks and view highlights and annotations made through other devices.
Translation: You didn’t buy a Kindle, so we don’t like you.
When upgrading to the newest version of WordPress you should back up your theme. I wasn’t thinking and clicked update and all my work vanished. With some late night damage control and I’m presentable again… I sure wish upgrading wasn’t such a hassle. The only reason I did it in the first place was to get the most-secure version of the code. I guess it’s better to be safe than and sorry.
Most the designers I work with use Adobe fonts. Having an easy route to implement the fonts I actually encounter day-to-day is a huge plus. I’ve wanted to use typekit in the past, but haven’t, because you ususally have to make the designer and client compromise on a lesser known font. Perhaps the next project I work on I can get by without Cufon or sIFR. It’s nice to see how quickly @font-face typography is gaining traction (finally!).
Here’s a presentation I put together about canvas. I’ll try to get some more detailed tutorials together sooner or later.
I just added a few projects to github. Here’s the rundown:
If you have any questions, let me know.
Jeremiah Grossman recently published a security vulnerability in Safari that can steal your personal information. The gist of the problem is that an attacker can hide some inputs on their site with field names that normally get autofilled by the browser. Then using JavaScript the attacker can extract information about the user.
Check out this creepy demo in Safari. It found all my info successfully… Luckily I only use Safari for testing. If you want to avoid the problem disable AutoFill web forms in your Safari settings.
Mark Pilgrim wrote this great online book “Dive into HTML5” that you should check out. It’s being released by O’Reilly as “HTML5: Up and Running“. I’m not sure how different the physical copy will be from the online version, but it seems to me that you can either read it online now for free, or wait until August 15th for it to be released as a book and pay $20 for it.
Another tip for getting good content cheap is to download the iPhone app version of O’Reilly books. For example, I downloaded High Performance JavaScript as soon as it came out for $5 and read it by the time it would have taken to get shipped to me. The list price for this book is $35.
Honestly I still prefer a real book over an eBook, however, I’m willing to read on a screen when the price is so cheap. Especially when you live in a small apartment and your bookshelf is overflowing onto the floor…
Check this article out: iPad HTTP Debugging with Charles
This approach is extremely useful and has saved me a lot of time. Also, the same tutorial works for the iPhone too. Once you have Charles set up to work with your device there are two main benefits that will help you debug your work.
Viewing HTTP traffic to your iPad site – Great for ensuring resources aren’t returning 404, checking that everything is being cached properly, and no extraneous calls are being made etc…
Mapping production files to your local environment - This is great because you can be viewing your production site, but have Charles point to a JS/CSS file on your desktop so you can test changes on the fly.
