#82Web people, please don't start to use effects that are only supported by one single rendering engine (okay, Blink+Webkit).
Many of these work in most browsers. Google's fonts API only serves CSS and font files specific to the browser. Open the following links in different browsers and watch it change: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Rancho&effect=shadow-...
Look at the list: "Support: Chrome, Safari".

#85One bad thing about using computer in China is, anything Google-related either is painfully slow or deliberately blocked (by GFW).

Chinese people would have to wait until some Chinese company make similar things available.

It's also easy to forget that while some works of art have endured over thousands or tens of thousands of years, most art likely hasn't. The ancient art we have today is like a Best Of album -- it leaves out all the works that were instantly forgotten or just not good enough and creates the impression that everything was better back then.

Can you copy over your settings file from old machine?

#90Great, now someone needs to write a "disable animated fonts" extension. Extensions required to make the web usable: AdBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/ NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ Toggle Animated GIFs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animat...
