“ [Vendor prefixes are] a little like a vaccine—the shot hurts now, true, but it’s really not that bad in comparison to the disease it prevents. And in this case, you’re being vaccinated against a bad case of multi-year parser hacking and browser sniffing. We suffered through that long plague once already. Prefixes will, if used properly, ward off another outbreak for a long time to come.
— Eric Meyer in his latest article for A List Apart: Prefix or Posthack—I love this analogy (and I love vendor prefixes).

When porn upgrades to HTML5, the world will follow.

Let Me In international trailer. Chloe Moretz (Hit Girl) being a badass again might make it worth seeing.

This year, in unnecessary remakes… This looks more-or-less like a scene-for-scene remake with shittier dialogue and overblown angst. (via zombea)

Africa is witnessing the birth of a new ocean, according to scientists at the Royal Society.

Geologists working in the remote Afar region of Ethiopia say the ocean will eventually split the African continent in two, though it will take about 10 million years.
