iPad = Apple fail.

They could have revolutionized the tablet market and put Kindle to shame... it's an over grown iPod Touch, that's what the iPad is.

iPad ? Isn't that the big iPhone they just show up to the face of the world ?
Might be useful if they bring innovative solutions with it, other than that i'll keep reading on real books, because of the comfort, the smell of paper+ink and also because i wouldn't fear to let a book fall down my bed if i fall asleep on it.. ;)

They made a pact with the Dark Lord, and utilized magic to pull this off.

Changing this rule from display inline to inline-block works in Firefox.

<code>
.right p {
display:inline-block;
}
</code>

IE 7 probably won't like it, so you might have to feed it styles utilizing floats.

HTH.

Looks really nice. One little thing, the 4 columns in the footer - the dotted line separating the 3rd and 4th column is a little longer in FF 3.6 on mac, and a little shorter in Safari 4 Mac. Might be cool if the columns were the same height, but as you said the site isn't done. This might not be a big deal either.

Nice use of jQuery.

Watch out Microsoft is innovating again. As they do in every other area, they will stop innovating when they obtain majority market share and put competitors out of business to stifle further innovation in that market.

It's a great business strategy, but isn't good for technological advancement. I won't buy anything made by Microsoft for this reason.

Looks nice, though I think I'd stick with HP's Slate for a tablet sorta device (though right now I'm perfectly happy with my ancient Sony eReader for ebooks)..

The Windows phone coming out looks pretty damn cool though. Microsoft may actually be getting back in the game.

Looks really good. Shapes and colors fit well with the subject. Some nice details. Only to pixel f#ck, the header image is one pixel lower than the background bar. That's done on purpose or it's because Mac?

Only thing I could see for now is that you use a star icon in every button, except the join button at the header. And in the menu you use these stars as graphical elements that don't have a function. Then I would use this arrow for every button.

And all the emails at the contact page could use some more spacing between each contact. There's the same amount of space between the title and email and between the email and title below it. Makes it unclear what belongs to what at first sight.

Just launched: http://sftt.org/
The site is not completely done yet.

SFTT tries to highlight that fact that soldiers often don't have the proper equipment and protection/body armor. As there is so much $$ involved there is also a lot of corruption and in the battle of big business vs soldiers soldiers always tend to loose.

Anyway, just decided to share this one with you. Let me know what do you think.

Quite. Or, the OS could just suck like each single predecessor. It'd be funny if you couldn't change the wallpaper image just like Win7 starter can't. lol

Thought so but didn't totally get it
Or the ring of dead as I had with my 360
