Very well stated, Mark. I wanted to make the same comment. If all you do is best practice, mediocrity is the best you can hope for.

In March I wrote about some of my least favourite parts of CSS. Admittedly, that was a pretty negative post, and I’ve even slightly changed my opinion of a few of those things, thanks to the comments. But I like CSS a lot. So as a follow-up, I thought it would only be fair to list some of the things in CSS that I think work very well and thus are valuable to know and use often. Which parts do you like... or hate?

After Harry Roberts published his HTML/CSS coding style I’ve decided to follow his call and write down how I like to code and what my guidelines for HTML and CSS coding are. Please let me know if you think that there are ways to do certain things better or in a more understandable way. Style guides are always controversial. What do you think of this one?

CSS3 has some new values for sizing things relative to the current viewport size. It's shipping in Chrome 20 (canary at the time of this writing). And not behind a flag, it just works. Why is this awesome? There is a such thing as a comfortable line length for reading text on screens. But other reasons as well. Read on to find out more. So you can read this whole line on any platfo....

The Football Manager series is one of the world’s most popular gaming franchises, and no-one could deny that its iOS version has been a success. The recently released Android version, though, isn’t doing quite as well, with studio boss Miles Jacobson claiming that, at last count, the piracy rate for his game was at 5:1 in favour of illegally acquired copies. Stand and deliver: your apps or your devs!

With the release of their BlackBerry 10 beta development tools and Dev Alpha devices earlier today, RIM has made it very clear that they want to build up as much developer love as possible before BlackBerry 10 officially launches. Well, as it turns out, that’s not the only thing they’re doing to attract devs. Ah, but there’s a catch (isn’t there always?).

Windows Live was first announced on November 1st, 2005. Since that time, we’ve been hard at work building software and services that deliver that promise, a foundation that we could rely on as we designed new versions of Windows as well as other Microsoft products. Windows 8 is a chance for us to act on that feedback and reintroduce you to the broadest and most widely used collection of services on the Internet. Windows Live is dead... Long live Windows Live!

The vast and continuous expansion of social media platforms has given consumers abundant opportunity to voice their opinion; both good and bad. This freedom of speech has made the public so powerful, it has shifted the entire relationship between brand and consumer and for this very reason, businesses are weary of embracing social media. Negative feedback can be seen to damage business. But there is always truth in complaints and, as such, negative feedback can actually be used to shape and improve a business model. Thumbs up? Thumbs down? What do you think?

Microsoft has redesigned and simplified it's Bing search service, and with a nod to a deal with Facebook, it will even tell you if your friends like the items you've searched for. Link[^]

Story and video.
DDR is a dancing game. The classroom edition allows a bunch of pads to connect to the same system, and students can carry around cards that give them individual stats, such as calories burned.
Would it be creepy if I showed up at a school asking to dance with them?

Can't tell if you are joking or are serious.
So, which one?

Now please port C# to Android.

I'm surprised that no-one has ported either to JavaScript yet.

Actually, that one looks like C#->JS port tool. I'm just afraid of someone writing a full .NET compiler in JS, or a Linux clone. Only a matter of time.
