The Ministry of Communications in Kuwait decided to cut all international calls, except GCCs, by 20%. The decree is already in effect since the beginning of the year. An official spokesman says that the reason for slashing the price is to “curb the spread of unlicensed international call agents and exercise control on the international calls ‘black market’ in addition to reducing the financial burden on citizens and residents”.

Okay this one of the best articles I have read during the year. The author starts off talking about the Quite Structure design concept. Then he goes off explaining and comparing the between CNN and USA Today website design. For web designers this is a most-read article as it gives more and deeper ideas to consider when designing a webpage such as layout and image with text positioning, logo complexity, white spaces… etc.

AOL announced today that it will no longer support Netscape Navigator, the first browser for many of us, including me! It’s time for Netscape’s fans to say goodbye for the 13 years old browser.
As of this month, Netscape had only 0.6 percent of the browser market, which was still dominated by Internet Explorer with more than 77 percent, according to Web application and analytics firm Net Applications. Firefox was gaining, however, with market share just over 16 percent.
So you picked up a project and write the code in Java then comes the time to distribute your program. You are going to need to create an installer package rather than distributing it directly as a JAR file.
It is better to give them a normal plain installer package that they know how to run through the wizard.
Geek Stuff Javazing blog has an article on how to do that. Ultimately before you’ll be able to follow the tutorial you going to have to download the following tools:
1. Ant tool.
2. NSIS: a scriptable win32 installer/uninstaller system.
3. ProGuard: java shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator.
4. Launch4j: Cross-platform Java executable wrapper for creating lightweight Windows native EXEs.
5. NSIS Ant task: to compile NSIS scripts.
Bored from the div attribute of HTML? Well, I am bored myself and I have been writing HTML 4 since I was in Middle School. We have been using HTML 4 for almost a decade and it really needs an upgrade. In fact, W3C and WHATWG have been working on setting the specification of HTML 5. Major browsers companies and groups are taking part in setting some specifications of HTML 5, but I don’t think it will be done soon.
A List Apart has a really great article on HTML 5 preview which I really encourage all web developers to read it.
