<description><![CDATA[(Credit:The Guardian)Who says the old broadsheet newspaper is deadTo celebrate its 190th anniversary, the U.K.'s Guardian (known at its 1821 founding as The Manchester Guardian) has concocted a very-old-school version of the front--er, home--page of today's edition.The page uses serifed and black-letter Web fonts' copious vertical and horizontal rules' vintage engravings' and a background image of a pulpy, papery texture to re-create the thrill that awaited one who clapped a copper into a newsboy's palm and flapped open a newly purchased copy of the Latest Edition.A vintage take on the &amp;34'tweet this&amp;34' button.(Credit:The Guardian)In explaining the project, the page's developers also have some fun with Georgian/Victorian-era prose stylings:&quot;This new edition is available in the following establishments: the Flaming Fox public house' the Verdi &amp; Traviatta at the Royal Opera House' the African Expedition outfitters and the recently-constructed Silver V8 engine foundry,&quot; they write in a blog post. When readers click the included links, the rather exotic appellations become clear: &quot;the Flaming Fox public house&quot; = theFirefox browser,&quot;the Verdi &amp; Traviatta at the Royal Opera House&quot; = the Opera browser,&quot;the African Expedition outfitters&quot; =Safari,and &quot;the recently-constructed Silver V8 engine foundry&quot; = Chrome.The rascally developers couldn't help but take what appears to be a swipe at Microsoft's notoriously standards-unfriendly Internet Explorer:&quot;Some copies will also be found at the Internal Voyager private society,&quot; they write, &quot;but print may be slightly spoilt due to ill-applied waterproofing.&quot;And there's more horseplay:&quot;Some clever use of mechanical legerdemain allowed the staff to reroute requests by readers to publicise the daily news through the means of Twitter, a new Tachygraphe that conveys 140 character messages which are then deliver'd via Carrier-Pigeon.&quot;All this adds up to a cracking good job of capturing the authentic feel of a traditional newspaper of nearly two centuries ago. And the attention to the slightest detail is impressive: With my monitor-browser combination anyway, it's impossible to see all the stories without scrolling hither and thither, horizontally and vertically. At first, impatient 21st-century data consumer that I've become, I found this annoying. But then I decided it was actually the designer's brilliant way of replicating the experience of trying to read a traditional broadsheet while jiggling along in a hackney carriage or omnibus--folding the gigantic mess of newsprint this way and that, shaking out creases, trying not to elbow the gentlefolk beside you.Now if they could just develop a way to leave e-ink all over your fingers...<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
