Since me and Nicole announced smush.it yesterday at Ajax Experience and thanks to Christian Heilmann posting it on Ajaxian and Yahoo Developer Network, this thing seems to have exploded! It's all over the blogosphere, twitter-sphere and every other sphere. BTW, Chris never seizes to amaze - he posted the video on Ajaxian at 11:01 am [...]

Jaxer has been out in beta for a while and is nearing its 1.0 release. Many comments on Ajaxian about Jaxer have been about performance benchmarks. Uri Sarid, CTO of Aptana, has compiled some initial benchmarks including comparisons to PHP and Ruby on Rails. (Jaxer comes out in between the two): We wanted to answer a [...]

Here at Developer Day, I couldn’t decide between the sessions on Android and App Engine, so ended up hearing Ajaxian Dion Almaer talking on the state of Ajax. Almaer also works for Google on its developer programs. The talk was a bit fuzzy and high-level for my taste, though I enjoyed his tour of JavaScript libraries. [...]

Ajaxian recently posted about a fun JavaScript implementation of PacMan . After spending way too much time on it I wondered how well an emulation of the old arcade game hardware would go in JavaScript. I've written a few 8080 arcade game emulations before in different languages so I had a go at implementing it in JavaScript. You can try the work in progress at my JavaScript 8080 Emulation page . It...

Okay I’d like to know how many of the Ajaxian readers are actually old enough to remember real arcade games which required endless amounts of quarters to become good. Yeah, those were the days when calluses on your thumbs were the norm and being able to “hold it” (ie: not go to the bathroom for [...]

One of the reasons Dion is such an effective editor here at Ajaxian is his sense for filtering all of the available news from the Ajax community down to about three stories a day. Truth-be-told, with all the submissions we get and what we find on our own, we could easily post 10 stories a [...]

Blueprint has had an amazing run so far. Even from the get go, the popularity surpassed anything I could ever have imagined. Dominating the top spots at Delicious, reaching the front pages of both Digg and Reddit, being featured on sites such as Wired, Ajaxian, Daring Fireball, Subtraction and countless others, the numbers speak for themselves. Where did all this hype come from? The fact is, it took...

Conserving screen real-estate while still providing good content to the user has always been a challenge for designers and developers and while larger screen dimensions are becoming more prominent, it's still important to take full advantage of the space available to you. Jeeremie over at Web Kreation came up with a very cool method of [...]

Harmony is a very good thing. For some time now, the ECMAScript working groups have been split into two camps: one supporting ECMAScript 4, another ECMAScript 3.1. The former was a more radical leap forward in ECMAScript (JavaScript), while the latter favored more incremental progress. Ajaxian , John Resig , Simon Willison , and a host of others are referencing an email by Brendan Eich to the lists...

Ajaxian has posted a ridiculously simple way to enable web apps to mimic the iPhone’s side-to-side flicking behavior using custom CSS supported by MobileSafari. If you’re creating a web app specifically for iPhone and iPod touch users, you can get a similar feel to a native application with MobileSafari.

Dion Alamaer over at Ajaxian reports about a new service that is intended for any website owner to be able to detect the browser version of any visitor and suggest an upgrade if needed. PushUpTheWeb (that's the name of the service) is self-described by its creator as an "effort to push the web forward by helping users update their outdated browsers". The service is available for Internet Explorer,...
