Patterns, consistency, feedback.

Chaos did to science what social is doing to business - going from linear to non-linear.

Your ability to connect to a network (1,2,3,4.. degrees away) listen, organise and feedback keeps you relevant - organised chaos!

This can be used with jQuery to determine browser support for a feature at the css level.

"Modernizr adds classes to the <html> element which allow you to target specific browser functionality in your stylesheet. You don't actually need to write any Javascript to use it.

Have you ever wanted to do if-statements in your CSS for the availability of cool features like border-radius? Well, with Modernizr you can accomplish just that! The syntax is very intuitive"

iOS 4.3

For those that have a iPhone this upgrade with its Personal Hotspots is very powerful.  Allowing you to share the phones network connection with other devices eg an iPad.

So the need to get an iPad with a 3G connection is not required, as can just use the wireless connection to wotk through the phone.

This goes for any other wireless or bluetooth enabled device that needs access to the internet.

I have used it on my iPhone/iPad and worked perfectly.
