Let me be clear: As a business proposition, consolidation makes sense. The moguls behind the mergers are acting in their corporate interests and playing by the rules. |

Homing Pigeons Vanish During Race (Jul 23 2004 23:37 GMT) - Does anybody else think this reads like the opening act of a disaster movie?Organizers of a race for homing pigeons were still scratching their heads in wonder today after about 1500 of the birds, famous for their ability to find their way home, went missing during the contest. Of the 2000 pigeons let loose last week, only about 500 have returned to their lofts after the 150km flight between the cities of Ljungby and Malmoe in southern Sweden, said Lars-Aake Nilsson of the Malmoe Homing Pigeon Club.Is the earth's core slowing down? Is the Van Allen belt failing? |

Serifni ili bez-serifni fontovi? (Jul 23 2004 23:33 GMT) - Autor the Daily Flight-a se u nedavno objavljenom tekstu Body Blow zapitao: koju vrstu fontova upotrebljavati za online medije, serifne ili bez-serifne?. Nakon "tri runde" preispitivanja došao je do zaključka da u osnovi nema neke velike razlike, serfini fontovi se "brže" čitaju u odnosu na ove druge pod uslovom da su dovoljno čitljivi (jasni), dok su bez-serifni neprevaziđeni kod prikaza "sitnog" ekranskog teksta. Svakako, dobar anti-aliasing može da poboljša poziciju serifnog tipa, zbog lošeg anti-aliasing algoritma na Windows-ima serifni fontovi su po meni manje čitljivi i tu bez-serifni fontovi imaju prednost. Na Mac-ovima je situacija drugačija zbog nadmoći u grafičkom prikazu. |

Lekovi dostupniji slepima (Jul 23 2004 23:33 GMT) - Kada se na Web-u govori o usability-ju (stepenu upotrebljivosti) i accessability-ju (dostupnosti) onda se najčešće misli na HCI, odnosno ljudsku interakciju sa kompjuterima (raznih vrsta). Ali, naravno, ove osobine se odnose i na druge sfere ljudske delatnosti, proizvode i usluge koji nisu u direktnoj vezi sa kompjuterima. Iskorak u smeru poboljšnja accessability-ja proizvoda za široku upotrebu napravili su nedavno proizvođači lekova, a pre svih vršački Hemofarm. Da bi izašli u susret slepim i slabovidim osobama, i na taj način povećali dostupnost lekova svim korisnicima, Hemofarm počinje sa štampom naziva lekova i preporučenih doza Brajevim pismom. Ova novost je za svaku pohvalu, jer konačno neko u ovoj zemlji misli i na ljude sa hendikepom. |
