Right-click menus in HTML5

The image below is from the future. :) It shows a context-related right-click menu implemented with just a few lines of #HTML5 code. This is already part of the official HTML 5 spec but is only supported by Firefox at the moment. The spec describes menus that are related to a section, can have sub-menus and even support icons.

Responsive design wireframing

The #responsivedesign concept is quickly becoming a must-have item in any new web design project. But while the miracle of "code once, run everywhere" is upon us, some challenges are ahead for the designer. Suddenly, it's not one #wireframe , but three or four (for each #layout of the website). And while there may be some tricks to make the process easier, you might not have the best result in each device/resolution case.

This is why people pirate

Awesome Oatmeal comic about trying something as simple as watching your favorite show online http://bit.ly/Aeok0T

To quote Valve's Gabe Newell:
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

That said, Game of Thrones rocks! :)

Can you convince me in 5 seconds?

Value proposition is the #1 thing that determines whether people will bother reading more about your product or hit the back button. It’s also the main thing you need to test – if you get it right, it will be a huge boost. If I could give you only one piece of conversion advice , “test your value proposition” would be it.

The Cross-CMS Perception Matrix

In the spirit of the latest "What People Think I Do / What I Really Do" meme (more at http://chzb.gr/A6accB), here is how #CMS developers view other developers and their favorite system. I think each CMS has it's own purpose and use but there no harm with a little fun :) Included: #WordPress , #Drupal , #Joomla , #WIX and #Sharepoint .
