Exclusive - Luc Besson and Sci-Fi Fans Rejoice!

http://www.collider.com/entertainment/news...

Flashback to last year: At the press junket for his movie “Angel-A”, Luc told me he had an idea for a new sci-fi movie and it might be a trilogy.

Writing good alt text | 456 Berea Street

http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/2008...

It is, not surprisingly, common for alternative text to be completely absent, but it is probably even more common to see inappropriate use of the alt attribute. In most cases this is caused by well-meaning people using the alt attribute to describe the image itself instead of the function it has or the content it presents.
