Which is quite interesting to notice that as one of the webdesigner's major burdens — to design specifically for IE and Netscape — becomes a thing of the past, many 'avant-garde' A-list designers start getting into designing different 'skins' of the same site, almost as if they were addicted to designing for different people specifically. Or webstandards are bad to many webdesigners' outstanding fees. What next, will architects start building homes that can change colour and layout with the flick of a switch? (Hold on, haven't they done that already?)¶

Zeldman's A List Apart has a tutorial on a sweet stylesheet switcher. Very cool, as it enables a site's visitors to 'change skins' (including the site's colours, graphics and fonts) instantly. Yep, I definitely think these will be as widespread as those utterly fucking useless, ahem, cool background colour changer javascripts.¶

Oh, and at last Philips did something to compensate for their crap products, taking a stand against copy-control mechanisms. Oh well, I guess you can't be all bad, even though my old Philips CD-burner was probably the crappest piece of gear I ever bought. At least they are ideologically correct. Now, if only Sony thought the same way... (via TND)¶
