Corporate Connection (2003) is now part of my blog, and not only on Flickr. You are welcome to visit it, interact with it, and leave some comments too.
With the help of MapLib, I was able to mash my image with the technology of Google Maps. But this is only semi-interactive.
Lately I’ve started to think about the next version of this creation. I believe (and hope) its going to be very interesting and not so far from now.
David Freeberg’s says:
I recently purchased a new HD monitor, but when I installed it, I lost the streaming capabilities on Netflix’s website. When I tried to troubleshoot the issue, I had to agree to let Netflix “reset my DRM” by destroying my Amazon.com files. After talking with Netflix’s technical support, I learned that the real issue had to do with the HD capabilities of my PC setup. Because Hollywood wants to punish people for using technology that is outside of their protocol, they are denying me access to low resolution internet videos until I downgrade my monitor to standard definition.
As if DRM isn’t evil enough already, I now have to give up access to files I’ve already bought and even then might not be allowed access unless I have specific approved HD equipment that allows Hollywood to control how I consume my media content. I understand that content owners want to be able to charge for their content, but something is wrong when their DRM won’t even allow you to pay to use their product.
I don’t have another word to say except for: Arrrrrrrgh!!!!

Yesterday Firefox 2.0 was released. I think it is a moment to celebrate the take over Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Even if it is a way to make Microsoft update IE in a “satisfying” way.
With IE 7.0 out, it is going to be harder to make people appreciate the other browsers.
Within the last week, two new browsers have been released. The good news is that both browsers have seen some significant enhancements in three key areas: user experience, security and web standards. The bad news is that one browser still has better features and standards support than the other.
It is so hard to transform a netuser who just surfs. Most people just use the software that comes with their PC/Mac. For Mac its OK. Safari is a great companion.
But IE… I just hate Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. For web-designer it’s the worst thing that could ever happened. Nothing works correctly with it while with all the other browsers the design will work just fine. Most people don’t know the behind the scenes of creating web pages. It’s a big headache – esspecially when you need to twick the design to fit the different browsers.
“Every other browser renders correctly”
So true. This is a detailed story from a designer’s perspective.
With my website, for the moment, I don’t care about Microsoft, IE, or their users. I will recommend to Transform! My website will look nicer on Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. and your satisfaction will be priceless…
