David Kaneda explains:

Outlook’s broken—Let’s fix it

Apparently, when I get behind something, I really get behind it. Okay people, here’s the deal: Outlook 2007, a very popular email client for Windows, shipped with the same terrible web rendering engine built into Word. The ironic part is that Outlook 2000 actually had a more advanced engine (difference shown above). As the site explains:

This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position, no background images and lots more.

As a developer, programming for Outlook 2007 is an exercise in futility. It’s like programming for Netscape Navigator 4. Do you remember what things looked like in NN4? No — because you’ve blocked it out, just like everyone else.

HTML emails can be pretty cool — Don’t let them go the way of the Quagga. Help spread the word!

James Cameron Showed 24 Minutes of 'AVATAR' to Lucky People

James Cameron Showed 24 Minutes of 'AVATAR' to Lucky People:

“Reactions are starting to leak out of today’s presentation at CineExpo in Amsterdam, and, shock of shocks, they’re of the “Holy Fuck!” variety.”

“The audience afterwards was stunned. Everyone just gasped, wondered and just couldnt believe what they saw. [Cameron] is so proud of this movie and still handles it with great suave like he just folded a paper plane. I am just mindbaffled how a genius like that can contain himself with something like this.”

Awe-inspiring stuff. When you are running through the bioluminescent forest at night, moss lighting up under your feet, you will think you are dreaming.

@dt4storms: Still in awe of meeting James Cameron… Avatar will change movie industry forever.. thank you Jim

@gjkooijman: is mindblown

@gjkooijman: saw 40 minutes of James Cameron’s Avatar footage at the Cinema Expo tonight. THIS WILL CHANGE MOVIES FOREVER. Trust me, it will.

@NafRas: OMG keep this in mind James Cameron’s AVATAR this Dec. it’s gonna rock the way u see movies! Preview @ cinema expo leaves me wanting more

@sperling: It’s official! The footage from “Avatar” shown at Cine Expo was amazing. Absolutely stunning in 3D. Should be a huge hit.

@UCSNord: “Avatar” footage at #cinexpo: CGI was photorealistic, characters look really real. Believe the hype, this movie will be massive!

@UCSNord: Fox’s product presentation at #cinexpo offered about 15-20 mins of “Avatar” footage in 3D, presented by Cameron & members of the cast.

@UCSNord: “Avatar” footage at #cinexpo was presented by Cameron, Weaver, Worthington, Saldana and Lang, who all attended the after-party.

@UCSNord: Footage from “Avatar” at #cinexpo was stunning, literally jawdropping. Amazing visuals unlike any before seen, with incredible detail.

@UCSNord: The screening room was packed, I’d say about 1500 to 2000, around there. Genuine excitement and an amazed crowd.

Here are some pictures (not of footage).
