The Usenet is a discussion network, organized into newsgroups. It spans thousands of servers across the world. It is not known to all Internet users, because most of them never leave the web or their email. They will not see this unknown half, with so many treasures (and dangers) within it. Everyone can post articles to the groups, and they can be text messages but also binaries, like pictures. And here is where Picture Patrol Officer XP comes in: it can extract thousands of pictures from newsgroup messages every day, without much effort from you. And while doing this, Picture Patrol Officer XP hides any spam.

- Price: 19.99

As a web developer you already know that certain HTML tags should contain alt and title attributes. Not only do they add visiual cues and improve accessibility, they also help your Web pages adhere to standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Despite their importance, have you created Web pages that contain HTML tags without an alt attribute or more likely a title attribute? The problem of missing title attributes has become conspicuous with the release of Internet Explorer 8 and the increased popularity of Firefox. These browsers do not use the alt attribute to display a tooltip for an associated Web page element, but instead use the title attribute.
