When PNG8 is not the right choice

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Dave Artz has a nice post about PNG8 and alpha transparency, my extensive comments on his article are awaiting moderation right now :)

Dave has a very cool blog btw, only a few posts but they are all really good, there's a video tutorial of AOL's Pagetest tool and a discussion on non-blocking javascripts, something I just talked about over at the YUI blog.

Facebook, Flickr, and Yahoo are all heavy PHP users...

Wikipedia too!

Seventy-five percent of Web 2.0 sites are powered by PHP...
