Check out this great JQuery plugin that askes the user to draw a shape to prove it’s not a computer rather than try to decipher some obscure letters and numbers

Ever had a site that you created and works in modern versions of IE but for some reason when viewed in them it defaults to quirks mode? I have and wished that I could disable it from going to quirks mode. In my tests the following code forces IE to display in it’s native mode(for that browser), effectively disabling quirks mode. I’ve only done a few tests but, so let me know if it works for you.
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=9″ />
Recently I have also been working on some projects and have tested them on IE9. I have found that local/intranet sites by default will display in compatability mode for some reason. Once the site is live however this will not happen. To turn off this default behaviour in IE9, hit alt then go to tools -> compatibility view settings, then untick “display intranet sites in compatibilty view”.
If your still stuck check out the following flow chart to see how IE9 handles compatibility view.
The Commonwealth bank has recently launched an app that will allow home buyers to easily see the sale history, median price, buying/selling conditions, property hotspots and capital growth trends. It also has videos, articles and home buying guides for first home buyers, renovators and investors. As you would expect the app is a big advertisement for the Commonwealth Bank and has tools to work out loans with them.
The main feature of this application is however the augmented reality of it, which you will need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 to take advantage of. This feature allows you to hold up the phone and view whatever you are looking at via the camera and overlay text and images on top. It uses this to great effect to show information about the house you are looking at, such as previous sale price.
The app itself looks and works well. It is a great way for the bank to leverage a new technology and build up some free press about themselves. Let me know in the comments below what you think of the app?
uTorrent has released an option to manage your torrents via your as part of its “uTorrent web” site. Just go to https://web.utorrent.com and download the latest version of uTorrent that supports it. Once installed click on the uTorrent Web Preferences, shown below, and enter a user name and a password.
Once you have done this you can go to https://web.utorrent.com and log in with those details on either your computer or iPhone/android mobile device.
If you thought using the last jailbreak for the iPhone was easy, Spirit, get ready for the new one. Comex, along with the rest of the iPhone Dev Team have launched www.jailbreakme.com, a site that allows you to jailbreak the iPhone from within the phone’s browser. That’s right without any cables, connecting to a computer or typing lines of code.
Just go to www.jailbreakme.com on your iPhone and swipe the “slide to jailbreak” button and the rest is done for you within minutes! You don’t even have to reboot the phone. I don’t think we will ever see a jailbreak as good or as easy as this again. The iPhone Dev Team really have outdone themselves this time.
Feel free to drop those boys a donation if your feeling the love.
