The increasing variety and usage of device/screen types (cell phone, smart phone, tablet, desktop..) urge the need for serving web content accordingly.

Adaptive Images is a solution for delivering browser-size-specific images for any device.. automatically.

It is JavaScript-PHP-powered where a lightweight JS file detects the browser size and the PHP file resizes the images on the web page. And, all this happens with the help of a .htaccess rule which redirects any requests for .JPG, .GIF or .PNG files to the PHP image processor file.

Adaptive Images is a plug 'n' play resource which can be easily integrated into any PHP website.

There is a built-in caching system for minimizing each image only once for each size.

Also, several options for customization exist including "array of browser-image sizes", .JPG quality and more.

Last week, CS Review, a service to get feedback easily for creative jobs by Adobe, was shared at WRD.

And, with that service, a giveaway of 10 Adobe gift bags and 2 months of Lynda.com subscriptions was announced. Today, winners are selected but, before that, let's remember:

What is CS Review

It is a part of Adobe CS Live (a series of services for designers and developers) which makes creative reviews so simple.

For any number of JPG, PNG, .F4V and .FLV files, a new review process can be started directly from CS5 softwares or online, and e-mailed to friends, colleagues to get feedback for them

They can write their comments for each file and you or other reviewers can reply to each other's comments.

After all, you have all the feedback organized and stored under your hands.

Just like any other CS Live services (including the Adobe BrowserLab), it is free for 1 year once you sign-up by April 30, 2011.

And, the winners:

Here are the winners of 10 Adobe gift bags and 2 months passes to Lynda.com tutorials:

After completing (or during) a design process, it is so common to ask friends, colleagues or the customer: "what they think about it?".

Adobe CS Review is an online service that helps you get an easy and organized answer for that.

It enables you to start a review online or directly from the CS5 series of Photoshop , InDesign , Illustrator or Premiere Pro.

You can add any number of JPG, PNG, .F4V and .FLV files, add your comments to each and share them with anyone via e-mail to get feedbacks.

It is even possible to let other reviewers invite others for a feedback with a bigger community.

Every invited user can reach the creatives by clicking a link in the e-mail and share their thoughts + reply to other's comments.

Within the application, it is possible to switch between creatives quickly and zoom in/out to them.

Adobe CS Review is a non-complicated service that is easy-to-use and gives you the feeling that "feedbacks are under control".

Just like any other CS Live services (including the Adobe BrowserLab), it is free for 1 year once you sign-up by April 30, 2011.

Also, Lynda.com, an online tutorial service that has detailed content on Adobe products too, is giving away two-months passes for their tutorials to all the winners.

All you have to do is to comment to this post with what you think of the Adobe CS Review service and winners will be selected randomly on 21October 2010 (1 week later) with the query below:

SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_id=1890 AND comment_approved=1 AND comment_type='' GROUP BY comment_author_email ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10

Iconizer is one of the latest online generators that you may find useful.

It is a free & web-based application, from the makers of popular Preloaders.net, that enables you to customize various popular icon sets online.

Iconizer allows you to select an icon from a list of well-categorized icon sets and:

• select the foreground/background color
• size of it
• file type to be created
• add an animation
• resize it & more..

Although the application is very useful, what would be even better is "selecting the whole icon set" & ability to customizing it in bulk.
