jQSlickWrap - Slick text wrapping for jQuery
by vrossign
To do this, it needs to have access to the individual pixels of the images it's operating on -- which is why for jQSlickWrap to work, you need to have a browser that supports HTML 5's new canvas element.
Here's an overview of the algorithm:
1. If necessary, pre-load the image.
2. Determine the CSS styles for the image (float and padding).
3. Create a canvas element and set its dimensions to the size of the image plus its padding.
4. Draw the image onto the canvas in the top-left location.
5. Figure out the "background" color of the image by examining the pixel data at the top-left corner of the image.
6. Fill the canvas with this background color.

Resolutions - the top three most used monitor resolutions - pixel width and height
by decembre
Resolutions I was looking for the top three most used monitor resolutions - pixel width and height - for making desktop wallpapers in my flickr stream. It dawned on me that knowing the three most used pixel counts weren't as important as moderately high resolution images in the correct format ratios. Here are the top three as of June 2009. 1. 1024x768 ( 1:1.33) 2. 1280x1024 ( 1:1.25 ) 3. 1280x800 ( 1:1.6 ) For example, the MacBook Pro supports 1440x900, which is the same dimensions as the 1280x800. Although there will be some scaling, the 26% difference of area between the two shouldn't cause enough stretching to make the image unpleasant as a desktop background.

The intensity of each pixel is proportional to the number of times the location at a given set of coordinates is mentioned across all of the books in Google Books Search.
