On second place we have: How to Create CSS3 Paper Curls Without Images by Craig Buckler
This tutorial is about creating a paper curl effect to make your HTML to CSS unique and easier. Paper curls have been popular for a few years now. The viewer sees a natural-looking slightly curved box but, in reality, it’s an optical illusion created by a shadow at the bottom of the element. Don’t you love cognitive process?
It also talks about the benefits CSS3 provides such as:
1. The effect can be applied to elements of any size.2. The code is reusable and uses far fewer bytes than an image-based shadow.
On third place we have: Fun With Pulsing Background Colors in CSS3 by Joshua Johnson
More HTML to CSS wonders! Even though CSS keyframe animations currently have very limited browser support, they’re still quite interesting to learn about and experiment with. With a simple example of web page that leverages Webkit keyframe animations to gently shift the background color on a never ending loop you can choose between a live demo and a normal writing tutorial.
What the White iPhone 4 Says About the iPhone 5 by Matt Buchanan
Why all the fuss about this? It is more of a fashion release than an improvement of technology and some said it’s enough of a fatty difference between “Black and White” that the white iPhone 4 wouldn’t fit into an Incase slider case designed for the iPhone 4. We do understand is not as simple as painting it, but we are on the XXI century and is Apple we are talking about.
They could always make a different Incase slider but where is the exclusivity of iPhone4 then? Will iPhone5 have the same process?
