xkcd says: Steal This Comic

The title text for this strip from xkcd.com reads:

I spent more time trying to get an audible.com audio book playing than it took to listen to the book. I have lost every other piece of DRM-locked music I have paid for.

While not directly relevant to our goals of web design and programming tips, if you're designing anything and considering DRM, I suggest you revise your strategy.

Google Chrome Hacks

Hack is far too strong a term for anything I've got for you to play around with yet. There are some interesting "hacks" posted online involving "hidden" pages in the Chrome browser of the "about:XYZ" variety. A quick search should be able to pull them up. (I'll post a link later, but I'm otherwise occupied at the moment.)

I noticed that the "inspect this element" option pulled open a new window with a URL beginning "chrome-resource://".

Playing around a bit, I discovered a basic "About Google Chrome" page at chrome-resource://about/ (click to try it out if you're using Chrome right now).

That's all for now, but maybe I'll actually update this a bit more now, with stuff related to Chrome, browsers, and (yes, of course) web design as well!

UPDATE: Using the "view-source:" prefix, check out the "chrome-resource://about/" page seems interesting.
