Comment on What Does “Support” Mean? by Jordan Walker

I think we as web developers are quick to introduce new technology as it emerges. I do not think that the rest of the population is so quick to change from their comforts. IE 6 is a dead dinosaur that needs to be carried off, but so many people still use.

@ Marius :

I wonder how “Minimize JPG file size by adding a small amount of blur?” works… I usually even give some more sharpness to the pictures, why would I blur them?

You can minimize JPG file sizes by adding a small amount of blur in non-critical areas—crisp edges between adjacent colors— and by reducing the contrast between the lightest and darkest areas in a photo.

You can use this technique in the future for some kind of reason. For instance, in mobile applications for efficient file compression in the JPG format. However, not always necessarily but thanks for asking. :)

Could you give an example or something?

However, nice article! These really are important basics (although I didn’t know that blur-thing ;-p)
