Microsoft released an amazing set of tools for testing previous versions of IE this week, including a webpage scanner, a partnership deal with BrowserStack, and — my personal favorite — pre-built VMs for every version of IE since 6.

Jesse Dodds with an awesome tip for iPhone web devs: You can use the media attribute on webclip icons to specify different resolution icons (like for the Retina display):

The HTML5 spec is 900 pages and hard to read. HTML5 for Web Designers is 85 pages and fun to read. Easy choice.
The book is $18 to pre-order, and I think it will be a worthwhile addition to any web designer’s collection.
