Ideas Behind Responsive Emails

May 26, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Say you’ve designed an HTML email with 3 columns. Because of limited and weird CSS support in email clients, email design is done with tables. That 3 column design looks great on large-ish screens, but it squishes awkwardly on small screens. Theoretically a media query would save us here, but as we can’t even count on floats we sure can’t count on those. There is still a way though.

Google: ‘EVERYTHING at Google Runs in a Container’

May 25, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Ad giant lifts curtain on how it uses virtualization’s successor TWO BILLION TIMES A WEEK Google is now running “everything” in its mammoth cloud on top of a potential open source successor to virtualization, paving the way for other companies to do the same.

These companies pay Microsoft for that, usually because they were not able or willed to migrate computer’s running Windows XP to another operating system before the extended support phase for the system ended.

What makes this interesting is the fact that Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is based on Windows XP Service Pack 3, and that the security updates released for that system are identical with the ones that Microsoft would have released …

There has always been a healthy market for commercial books written by experts, and this isn’t likely to change any time soon: sometimes there’s just no substitute for splashing your cash and getting high quality content in return.
