I love Google's (or the studio they hired) direction with their product promo videos. Nice stuff.

IE 8 only CSS
February 19, 2010
We all have a special place we'd like Microsoft's little browser to go, cough Hell cough. For now targeting the IE's, using conditional comments or CSS hacks is my only solution when backed in to a IE only corner. This little CSS hack has worked out just fine.
.div_block { color:Blue; color:Red\9; *color:Blue; }
- First Blue: for all browsers.
- Only IE8 will be Red.
- Second Blue: IE6,7 Only
This piece of code saved my day, hope it does the same for you.
Panic's ShrinkIt
February 18, 2010
ShrinkIt is a simple, small, Panic-internal tool (for Mac OS X Snow Leopard) that will automate the process of stripping needless metadata from PDFs by re-saving them using Apple’s PDF processor. For app resources and icons that aren’t using high-end Illustrator features, this should be lossless — Apple’s PDF code is not compressing anything, just removing cruft. Simply drop a bunch of files (not folders) onto it — such as the contents of your app’s Resources folder — to have it find the PDFs and do its magic. The original files will be renamed with the prefix “_org_” for backup safety. That’s it!
I could have been using this almost daily but unfortunately it requires Snow Leopard. Bummer.
