Form controls such as radio buttons, check boxes, and text areas are currently delegated by the different devices one uses. Depending on whether one is using a Mac or PC, one will get differently-styled form controls. iOS and Android each serve their own form controls that are optimized for the touch-based user interface. This presents a challenge to web designers who wish to create controls that integrate better with their design.

Trying to create custom controls is often a tedious process. It isn't difficult, but there are a large number of controls to style and it's finicky.

OKShadow is a JQuery plugin that produces drop shadows that track the mouse cursor. Many effects are possible, including depth-of-field simulation and focus effects.

Interesting to look at Instagram's infrastructure and compare to Percolate's. We use many of the same systems. http://t.co/JqteP0wZ
