Twitterhacks revisited

Das -Element ist ebenfalls noch in keinem Browser eingebaut, schon stehen wir vor den ersten Problemen:

The element supports a number of different types of fallback content, but the current implementation of these fallbacks is problematic. In this article, we’ll explore how the fallbacks work, how they fail and what can be done about it.

10 Reasons Why Humor Is A Key To Success At Work

“In workplaces that encourage people to be themselves–that are less hierarchical and more innovative–people tend to be more open with their humor,” he says. “Even people who aren’t always comfortable sharing their humor tend to do so in more relaxed environments where the use of humor becomes second nature with everyone’s style.”
