To edit HTML- and CSS-code you only need a simple plaintext-editor — the rest depends on your skills and your creativity. However, to make your life a little bit easier, you can use some more comfortable source-code editors with advanced editing features. These features can effectively support you during coding, debugging and testing. Powerful modern editors provide developers with syntax highlighting, diff, macros, plugins, code-snippets, preview-option and an integrated FTP-management tool. Some editors go even further and offer a complete integrated development environment with numerous features and functions.
In the list below we present an overview of 35 established or rather unknown — but useful source code-editors; you’ll probably find ‘usual suspects’ — your favourite editor or the editor you’ve once been working with. But you’ll also find some rather unknown alternatives which are definitely worth considering when choosing an optimal source code editor.
Some of the ‘ancient’ text-editors such as EMacs or Vi are still alive and have achieved a remarkable level of quality over years. We’ve presented them below proving that sometimes it is really better to consider preferring a rather old editor to a ‘fresh’ one. The position of the editors in the list is rather random and doesn’t necessarily correspond to our personal evaluation of the editors. Please notice: even although this overview presents quite many editors, it doesn’t mention all of them.

Google launched the Street View feature in Google Maps today at the Where 2.0 conference. For select cities, you can now view street-level panoramic photography as you browse around a map location. It’s like being able to take a virtual driving tour of a city, right from your desk.
There is a little minifig that you can drag around the map. When you release it, a small flash application is overlayed above the map which displays the panoramic photo for that location. Greg Sadetsky used the freeware ActionScript decompiler, Flare, to investigate the viewer’s source. If you curious about how the viewer works, that might be a good place to start - [via] Link.
Fabian K. notes that Google has been using GeoIP lookups quite frequently to restrict beta features to specific locales and the street view feature is no exception. If you are outside the US, you can enable street view by adding a &gl=us to the end of the maps.google.com url. You’ll still only be able to view the handful of cities that have pano-image data, but you can at least get a glipse for what’s coming - Link.
