uctpjac writes “London media lawyer Emily MacManus argues that UK libel law has three features which make it the ‘defamation tourism’ capital of the world and a serious threat to web free speech.

There are also HTML debugging aids and other helpful tools for web developers. A beta version is available for download. However, the current build only has support for IE — it will compare rendering in IE6 with either IE7 or IE8, whichever is installed. An internal build shows Firefox and Safari on Windows as well. The final product will appear as part of MS Expression Web Studio 3 when it is released later this year. (It will not be available in the Expression Mac suite.)”
