Apple Aperture and Designing Software Interfaces With CSS
Dec. 12, 2005
When Apple released Aperture, its new professional photo editing application to compete with work alongside Adobe Photoshop, it really turned my head more than most software does.

I rarely click-through from my RSS feed reader anymore. Why?

For example, I realized that I hadn’t noticed Boing Boing changed from the old format to the new Read more »
