Google Living Stories a new, more dynamic way of reading news

The idea behind Living Stories is to experiment with a different format for presenting news coverage online. News organizations produce a wealth of information that we all value; access to this information should be as great as the online medium allows. A typical newspaper article leads with the most important and interesting news, and follows with additional information of decreasing importance. Information from prior coverage is often repeated with each new online article, and the same article is presented to everyone regardless of whether they already read it. Living Stories try a different approach that plays to certain unique advantages of online publishing. They unify coverage on a single, dynamic page with a consistent URL. They organize information by developments in the story. They call your attention to changes in the story since you last viewed it so you can easily find the new material. Through a succinct summary of the whole story and regular updates, they offer a different online approach to balancing the overview with depth and context.

Say No to the Comcast-NBC Merger

The marriage of Comcast and NBC is bad news. For consumers it spells higher prices, fewer choices and less innovation. But Washington and Wall Street have already bought into the idea that it's a done deal. We must speak out and stop the merger before it's too late.

Sign on to our call to action and we will deliver a public message to President Obama, who has pledged "to reinvigorate antitrust enforcement," and to officials at the FTC, FCC and DoJ who have the power to stop this mega-merger.

This trick makes use of what the official specifications call "attribute selectors".

Indestructible Website: How to Build an EM Based Layout that Won't Break

The EM is a measurement just like PX or PT. One EM is equal to the pixel measurement of the current font size. So, for example, 1em on a web page with a font size of 16px equals 16px. The direct relationship between font size and EM allows us to build layouts that scale along with the font size. This means that a visitor with a browser font size set to "large" will see a perfectly scaled version the layout rather than a skinny layout with really big letters.
