As has been rumoured, Sympatico has a new dance partner, and its name is MSN. Both Steve Ballmer and Michael Sabia are quoted in the release announcing MSN 8 is coming to Canada. The deal is for five years, but despite both companies’ flirtatious pasts, I’d bet this partnership will last for even longer.

With his book out the door, Zeldman now seems to have a bit more time to devote to A List Apart. The latest issue explains how to improve your navigation using accesskeys (incidentally, it was the late IE5/Mac that spurred me to implement them in CANOE Money back in late 2000).

CodeBitch has finished another terrific resource (bias alert: I helped test two browsers), this time on CSS3 selector support in today’s browsers. MSN for Mac OS X comes out on top, followed closely by Mozilla.
