Web Worker Daily » Archive Who Owns Your Online Documents? «
"One thing that's clearly missing is any sort of backup guarantee. While you may feel more secure storing your documents on Google's or Zoho's or Adobe's servers than your own, that security is not something that you're promised. Any of the three can lose your documents or terminate your ability to get to them at any time for pretty much any reason, and you're out of luck. So if you do put important things online - back them up somewhere else."

Walmart has a new logo. At first glance, it reminds me of WaMu's logo, though on careful examination, you can clearly see the differences in the two typefaces. I do think the spacing between letters in the new logo is too close, however.

Script to retrieve any color information of a website, reads all CSS files and produces a cloud of colors. "This neat little tool extracts any color information, no matter if inline CSS, CSS files via import or link, and even if you have a master CSS file with references to other css files - mooColorFinder reads it out. "So, as long as a website specifies its CSS styles W3C conform, this script will find the colors used..."
