We are always getting asked by clients “How can we prevent people stealing our images?”.

There really is no way to do it unless you watermark your images. All other ways can quite easily be avoided.

A client sent this site as an example; the site has disabled right-click. I recorded this quick video showing how I can simply drag-and-drop the image to steal it.

 

The BBC programme Virtual Revolution summed up my thoughts on Internet-naysayers (at least this is my interpretation):

Older people have always been afraid of every big change, if the web had been around when they were young it would not be a problem. “Generation web” are growing up not knowing what life was like without the web, just like the last generation couldn’t imagine life before the printing press, or cars.

Big changes mean lots to get used to, and the web is only 20 years young, who knows what the next 20 years will bring. Bring it on!

 

I just joined “Wiki Answers” to improve one of the answers - it was about vaccinations, and was misleading and possibly dangerous.

Someone is wrong on the internet!! :)

 
The real situation is that today, two and a half years after the iPhone debuted, web developers can no longer count on every viewer being able to render Flash. The percentage of web user agents with Flash installed is now going down, not up. My money says that trend is permanent, and further, it’ll reach a tipping point in the not-so-distant future and Flash will turn into something like Internet Explorer.

How would you use flash on an iPad or iPhone though? Anything Flash that requires the keyboard and the mouse at the same time wouldn’t work… Anything that uses arrow keys wouldn’t work… Hovering over controls for drop down menus on flash websites wouldn’t work… Enabling Flash wouldn’t do ***** all but enable ads, why exactly do we want this so bad?
One of the best arguments against flash on the iPhone/iPad yet (apart from the fact that flash is not a web standard, not open source, slow and buggy on the Mac and is fast becoming obselete)
 
I’m glad to have finally gotten rid of Easily.co.uk as my domain provider.
They were good when I first registered a domain back in 2001 (was it really that long ago?), but to be honest it was their website navigation that made me dislike them the most, crappy little icons you have to click to get to the different pages.
They are also more expensive than any other company around now. Why??
