Restaurants, Hotels, Travel and Vacations - Ruba.com
by Regis
(via)
Travel guides are a dime a dozen on the web. But for the most part, they’re not very conducive to really exploring - it’s not much fun to click through various guides to get a feel for where you’d like to visit, because each guide is loaded with a wall of text. Ruba, a new travel site that launches today, is looking to offer users a way to visually browse through cities and their attractions around the world, offering photo-rich guides and an emphasis on making it easy to quickly discover new locations.

Official Google Enterprise Blog: Maps without keys
by srcmax
As we continue to expand the capabilities of Google Maps API Premier, such as offering access over https and supporting unlimited address-level reverse geocoding, we see that our users increasingly host applications across a large number of domains. In the past, Google Maps API sites have required that an an associated key be provided whenever the API is used, which required managing multiple keys for various domains. We've heard that this process can be cumbersome, and in response, we've introduced maps without keys, exclusively for Premier users.

Message from David Plouffe: Midnight Deadline
by starmuscle
FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:
Campaign Manager David Plouffe just sent this email out... Amanda --
This week, we saw the stark differences between Barack Obama and John McCain on the economy.
With Wall Street in crisis and families struggling, Barack offered a solid plan to strengthen the middle class, including tax cuts for nearly all Americans. John McCain continued the same old politics -- lying about Barack's plan and offering more of the same George Bush policies, including more tax breaks for Big Oil and no solutions for working families.
It's time for that kind of politics to change. And thanks to supporters like you, our movement has grown by more than 50,000 new donors this week. Now we're within reach of a new goal -- 100,000 new donors by midnight tonight.
With just 45 days left before the election, your support will affect crucial decisions about infrastructure in key battleground states. A donation now could have a big impact on voter registration and Get Out The Vote operations -- so please don't wait if you're planning to give.
And today, your donation will go twice as far. You can match the gift of a first-time donor and inspire them to own a piece of this campaign.
Can you make a donation before midnight tonight and double your impact?
Many voters are paying attention for the first time, and 1 in 10 is still undecided.
Now is a crucial time to expand our outreach through voter registration and getting as many people as possible out to vote for real change on November 4th.
Your donation today is crucial to these efforts across the country -- especially in the key battleground states where the cost to compete is extremely high, and the stakes are even higher.
Make a donation of $25 or more right now to help us reach our goal, and provide the resources we need to win:
https://donate.barackobama.com/promise
Thanks for everything you are doing,
David

www-html@w3.org from August 1996: W3C's importance was Re: onMouseOver in Cougar. (fwd)
by karlcow
impressionnant. 12 ans plus tard et ce sont toujours les mêmes discussionsThe W3C cannot force people to use what they produce. Only the marketplace can mandate what gets used. There is no way for anyone to force NS to obey the standard, and there are advantages to them in offering extras - so of course they do.
