A quick survey shows that seven of the Alexa U.S. top ten web sites have a SCRIPT tag above their stylesheets or STYLE blocks: AOL, Facebook, Google, Bing, MSN, MySpace, and Yahoo!. These web sites don’t currently use @font-face, but if they did, they would experience the IE blocked rendering problem. This raises the concern that other web sites that are early adopters of @font-face have a SCRIPT tag above @font-face and their IE users run the risk of experiencing blocked rendering.

Experiment and iterate. This is the web; you can be nimble. Risk is okay as long as you are always testing. Here’s the Iridesco process for a new feature:

1. Sketch

2. Photoshop

3. Test

4. Static HTML prototype

5. Test again

6. Working prototype

7. Test again

8. Tweak

9. Launch quietly

10. Get Feedback

11. Tweak

12. Get Feedback

13. Tweak

14. Get Feedback

15. Tweak…

Iterate constantly. You need a culture of experimentation.

Tran’s works draw us in with saturated colors and blooming shapes only to reveal a sort of darkness. Suggested by the black, wrought iron fences that coil about the trunks of her trees, her art feels akin to that moment in the story when the children realize they have become lost in a wood. The trees embody the best of both worlds – they remain grounded via their roots and the artist’s skill, plus they stretch their branches to discover a rather hallucinatory bliss. They seem to give us permission to risk taking a neon path to joy. - Molly Norris

This image shows the results of a lab test impact between a small sphere of aluminum travelling at approximately 6.8 km/second and a block of aluminum 18 cm thick. This test simulates what can happen when a small space debris object hits a spacecraft.

But I also think that if all we have are people “like me”, the open internet is at risk. It’s at risk because the better technology doesn’t always win.

Our planet is not at risk from the world's most powerful particle physics experiment, a report has concluded. The document addresses fears that the Large Hadron Collider is so energetic, it could have unforeseen consequences. Critics are worried that mini-black holes made at the soon-to-open facility on the French-Swiss border might threaten the Earth's very existence.

Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hours and 7.5 hours a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 6.5 hours, they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hours. Sleeping 8.5 hours might really be a little worse than sleeping five.

What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part – through protests and struggle, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience and always at great risk - to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time.
