Last year, almost 18,000 media employees lost their jobs—the biggest group of layoffs since the dotcom bubble burst in 2001, as reported on www.broadcastingandcable.com.
The article states that, some of the world’s biggest “old-media” companies—including MTV Networks (MTVN), NBC Universal, Disney and Discovery Communications—are axing staffers in handfuls and hundreds. In one of the biggest reductions, Time Warner’s AOL began cutting 5,000 employees in December, about 26% of its workforce.

Designing With Web Standards, 2nd edition
23/02/2007 by admin.
The book that changed an industry
This classic by the father of the web standards movement sparked a global change in the way sites are designed. The first and still the only foundational web standards text, it explains what the standards are, and shows how to use them to make your site faster and more accessible—able to reach more people and kinds of devices at a lower production cost.
Industry leaders agree
Now the book that changed how sites are designed is back in a smart new second edition. Industry leaders who previewed Designing With Web Standards, 2nd edition like what they saw:
“Beauty, usability, and accessibility”
“Jeffrey and his web standards co-conspirators have made it possible for those old enemies — beauty, usability, and accessibility — to play nice together in any website.”

Beware the Backlash: A rising tide of disaffection towards design
23/02/2007 by admin.
Article by Kevin McCullagh
There’s a storm brewing in designland. A backlash is gathering momentum, and what’s more, some of its chief dissidents are design’s leading lights.
Philippe Starck sheepishly peered out of the cover of December’s Icon magazine, under the ‘I killed design’ banner. In an Observer article a few months earlier Stephen Bailey, the fiery British design critic, exclaimed “When I hear the word ‘designer’, I reach for my chainsaw.”

Postcards from Palm Springs: Modern Gems in the Desert
23/02/2007 by admin.
