With HTML5 and CSS all the rage with developers, particularly Web developers, a new site has emerged to advise them on the use of features in the programming languages. The HTML5 Please site offers expert advice on which features to use and not to use when developing apps. The site breaks its advice down into three categories: use, use with caution, and avoid. Additionally, it tells developers which features they should use with fallbacks or polyfills. The bottom line is that the new site gives developers recommendations on which HTML5 and CSS3 elements they can safely use to create apps and sites that are effectively supported across a range of browsers. Because HTML5 is a moving target and many of its elements are too new to safely use for cross-browser support, HTML Please is a welcome aid to developers who want to color inside the lines. The HTML5 Please site is a community project created by Divya Manian, Web opener for Opera Software; Paul Irish, developer programs engineer on the Google Chrome team; Tim Branyen, a software engineer at Bocoup; Connor Montgomery, a Web developer and computer science student at St. Louis University; and a host of others. This slide show takes a look at the HTML5 and CSS3 elements that HTML5 Please says are completely safe for developers to use. - ...

While the U.S. Constitution generally prevents the government from snooping through personal laptops without just cause, those protections don't apply at the U.S. border, where agents can take any electronic device, search through all the data and keep it for further scrutiny, even without cause. Business travelers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals may have confidential or privileged information on their devices that need to be protected. Even personal devices can contain a wealth of sensitive information, including medical records and financial documents. "Our lives are on our laptops–family photos, medical documents, banking information, details about what Websites we visit, and so much more," the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Seth Schoen, Marcia Hofmann and Rowan Reynolds wrote in a guide for travelers carrying digital devices. While agents are authorized to keep the devices up to 30 days for their search, anecdotal evidence suggests they can take longer, according to the EFF. For organizations with compliance requirements, having confidential data out of their control for an extended period of time can have serious repercussions. These searches can also impact employee productivity while waiting for the search to complete. Below are some tips from the EFF on how to protect data privacy on electronic devices in case of a border search. - ...

2011 is being commonly referred to as "The Year of Disasters." The United States set a record with 12 separate billion-dollar weather/climate disasters in 2011, with an aggregate damage total of approximately $52 billion, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These incidents have prompted many organizations to reconsider the human element during a crisis or major news event and evaluate how they communicate with employees, suppliers, investors and customers. Emergency and mass notification systems are designed to help organizations communicate to stakeholders during an incident or disruption. However, in response to the high occurrence of prominent disasters in recent years, the marketplace has been flooded with products to address emergency and mass notification needs. The need to diligently evaluate vendors is critical to ensure that services will meet an organization's specific requirements. Our key information source in the following slide show is Tracey Forbes, vice president of software business development at SunGard Availability Services. - ...
