“Some pages that use the CSS @import rule experience a curious display quirk in the Windows version of MS Internet Explorer: a momentary flash of unstyled page content. The unimaginative creature that I am, I call this phenomenon Flash of Unstyled Content or FOUC for short.”

Drool… “So, here’s the deal. We design posters. Then we screen print them by hand with great love and care. This is what we do. Now we are showing them to you. You like? We hope so. Do you have money? We hope so. Why? You need to purchase some posters. Yes? Yes. Maybe you’ll even like what you see so much that you’ll not only buy two of each but will also want to have us design and screen print some posters for your rock n’ roll band or various other pursuits that you deem worthy of such treatment. We can do this. We will do this. We will make you famous, like we are.”

A small collection of links gathered by Nadav, including: “HFI reviews a CHI study comparing Times and Verdana (negligible difference); Swedish study (PDF in Swedish) comparing Verdana and Georgia (slight advantage to Georgia, maybe); CHI ‘95 study comparing Arial, MS Sans and MS Serif (size matters, Arial sucks, otherwise negligible); Usability News compares Arial and Times New Roman (scroll down to find that other factors matter more than serif vs sans); US Gov says it doesn’t matter, but don’t skimp on size.”
