			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/08/htc_incredible.png"></a><a href="http://butchclydesdale.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/htc_incredible1.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-93" title="HTC Incredible" src="http://butchclydesdale.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/htc_incredible1.png" alt="HTC Incredible" width="125" height="190" /></a>After a year of having my iPhone, I have decided to go Android. I was pretty happy with my iPhone until recently when I upgraded the phone to iOS4. After the upgrade, I immediately noticed a HUGE reduction in speed. Every app now took forever to open and switching between apps &#8212; forget it. The biggest difference was email, switching back and forth between my multiple email accounts and messages became a horrible experience. I do like the new threaded email feature, but again slow to use.</p>
<p>Using the iPod on the iPhone is so slow switching between screens and it now hangs on certain screens. I have to do a hard reboot on the phone at least every few days now, I did not have to do that before.</p>
<p>I understand the new iOS4 is more demanding on the hardware and RAM, I really do get that. Problem is the only way to remedy this is to buy a new iPhone 4 or revert back to the previous OS. I actually have considered reverting back to the previous OS, but then I could never update the phone with security patches or enhancements at all. Not an option for me.</p>
<p>At the time I bought my iPhone, I was really stuck between that and an Android phone. I decided on the iPhone because of the &#8220;coolness&#8221; factor. And that was nice for a time. Now, I am ready to give Android a try.</p>
<p>I looked at the new iPhone and was impressed with it. I looks cool and was considering it seriously. I was  turned off by the way Apple handled the whole antenna issue.</p>
<p>So&#8230;bye bye iPhone &#8212; I am looking at the HTC Incredible, there is a photo of it above. What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, the other day at work some collegues and I where debating on the topic of web standards, as it applies to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets for the non-tech). The discussion was centered around standards which our web development will adhere to for the projects we build. The designer&#8217;s argument was to use parts of both the CSS2.1 and the CSS3.0 specification in the web devlopment. My arguement was to use one or the other, since using elements of both will not allow the CSS to validate to either standard.</p>
<p>Needless to say we had different reasons and motivations for our opinions. Their thought was sticking to the CSS2.1 standard is too limiting to their creativity and innovation. They also feel that we (our company) should be leading innovation by using and pushing new technologies.</p>
<p>I do understand their points and credit them for wanting to use the newer, more exciting technology, but my main position is that the CSS3.0 simply does not have the web browser support yet and probably won&#8217;t for some time. Plus, I think we need to stick with what works well and adhere to one standard, not be in the middle of two. When the newer CSS3.0 hits critical mass, I will gladly welcome this in my development &#8212; it&#8217;s just too soon.</p>
<p>Am I wrong or right in my thinking?</p>
