How do we use tablets [infographic]

Posted on October 25, 2011 by vladislav saling

Tablets are one of the coolest gadgets out there. As a proof that everybody is taking them more and more seriously they recently became an object of study, conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism in collaboration with The Economist Group. Findings are published on several pages here. For those who don’t like to read that much, journalism.org also compiled results into one nice big infographic below.

CSS3: Radial gradients in Opera 12

Posted on October 19, 2011 by vladislav saling

Opera 12 is knocking at the doors and it bring couple of nice new features like new HTML5 parsing engine called Ragnarok and native support of CSS radial gradients, wich I’d like to introduce a little.

CSS Gradients

Opera supports CSS linear gradients since version 11.10 and time has come to take CSS3 gradients to new level. Finally. Alpha version of Opera 12 brought possibility to define radial gradients using same syntax firefox and chrome browsers are using.

3 things I like about Opera Dragonfly

I am using Opera Dragonfly every day for CSS and HTML development and it has many cool features. Like what? Like these:

So once you do “inspect element” it stops in :hover state (if defined) and everything is nicely tweakable via CSS console. I know Chrome and Firebug (thnx @MicE_sk) let you see and tweak :hover styling as well, but you have to click around a bit. Opera’s approach is more intuitive.
