Five Steps to Font Freedom

Be A Design Group: Five Steps to Font Freedom:

If we can’t convince the font companies to set their versions of classic fonts free, we will recreate them ourselves. The great fonts are based on designs that are centuries old that can’t possibly be protected by copyright law. Although it would be a major task, the collective power of the online community could create quality versions of classic fonts. Little by little, we can build an open source classic font library! Does anybody have a complete set of the original Garamond that I can borrow? Let’s get started…

Exclusive Screenshots: Google Calendar:

I’ve gotten possession of screenshots from Google’s long delayed new Ajax calendar application, which will be called “CL2″. It was only a matter of time before someone broke down and leaked these - as far as I know these screen shots are the first on the public web.

Red rain could prove that aliens have landed:

There is a small bottle containing a red fluid on a shelf in Sheffield University's microbiology laboratory. The liquid looks cloudy and uninteresting. Yet, if one group of scientists is correct, the phial contains the first samples of extraterrestrial life isolated by researchers.

Facinating article about the death of search engines

There is a new and insidious threat to the World Wide Web: a slowly rising tide of 'original content' on Internet sites that is at best worthless, and at worst possibly even dangerously inaccurate.
