How About Them Apples?
Here at Brunello we are unashamed at the fact that we are Apple fanboys (and girls). These apples with Apple logos and products are the handiwork of a Japanese Apple fan who covered Fuji apples with custom Apple stickers, then waited a month them for to mature.
If these apples were grown anywhere near us - you bet we would be eating them!
Captcha, Spam, and Digital Books
I’m sure by now you have encountered a Captcha - a little form that verifies you are a human and not one of those annoying spam bots. Unfortunately they have become a necessary part of comment and registration forms. Brunello has used CAPTCHAs on several projects in the past to prevent spam and increase security. Theses days Captchas are being used to help translate and digitize books!
Semi-Transparency In Internet Explorer 6
As I’m sure any web designer has experienced, we’re sometimes forced to make compromises between what can be done in a mock-up and what can be smoothly implemented in code. One of the most glaring examples of this is dealing with the way a site is rendered in Internet Explorer 6 – a browser released in 2001, and mysteriously still embraced by nearly twenty-five percent of the browsing audience. This was, mind you, the same year as the very first black and white iPod was released – you see very few of those around. In fact, people were still using Windows ME in 2001. Not a lot of that going on lately either.
