The images are huge, and restrictions on color, bitrate and frames per second all show that the GIF is about a decade past its sell-by date. Writing an actual format to replace the GIF isn't hard -- it's getting it to work universally that's the trick. Animated PNGs, or aPNGs, just took a big step towards universal acceptance with the latest release of Chrome. Continue reading...

If you ask me, the Galaxy S8’s design doesn’t need any explanations, at least as long as they sound as bad as the design posts Samsung used to write when it had to defend its plastic phones. But Samsung did it anyway. For some reason, Samsung is now back with a second Galaxy S8 design story, and it’s just as equally disturbing as the first one. Continue reading...
