Admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:15:31 +0000

Google has once again given an excellent new tool to designers and developers (and even CSS-savvy “common folk”) who long for better, more diverse typefaces on the web: a cool Font Previewer that makes adding a new font to your site as simple as copy/pasting a few lines of code.

Samsung isn’t the only phone maker using the whole antennagate brouhaha to its advantage, Motorola ran an ad in today’s New York Times for its Droid X device complete with the slogan, “No Jacket Required.” In the copy for the ad, Motorola takes a slightly passive-aggressive swipe at Apple, noting, “it’s just one of those things that comes as a given when you’ve been making mobile phones for over 30 years.” Ouch! This is the ad: The ad doesn’t address Apple’s most recent video , which actually shows the signal on a Droid X dropping based on how the device is gripped (though perhaps it was posted in anticipation of Motorola’s advertisement).
