There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
- Animated GIFs are a source of endless hilarity around the office, but we usually disagree on the pronunciation of the animation-friendly image format. The GIF Pronunciation Page makes a strong case for "jiff," citing the image-format founders' original intent. [From: GIF Pronunciation Page]
- Destroying the fun of trivia night worldwide, IMDb continues its spread across mobile devices. Now, Android users can win free pitchers of beer by using the app's built-in Voice Search, making it all but impossible to detect cheaters. [Ed. Note: You will know in your heart if you cheat during the sainted Trivia Night. In your heart!] [From: ReadWriteWeb]
- TUAW explains five little-known iOS 4 features. Turns out you can set the Notes application to sync with your Gmail account, saving you from having to hook your iPhone or iPod touch up to your computer whenever you want to get your text scribblings. [From: TUAW]
- Web designers keep pushing the limits of CSS3, and the latest experiment is a fully animated version of our solar system. [From: Our Solar System]
