COMPANIES THAT STILL SEND US PRESS RELEASES: Alesis
Hooray for Alesis! Sadly for Alesis, its ‘people’ sent this out as a CMYK JPEG. Such a terrible error. CMYK JPEGs are a nightmare for poor bloggers. They look like JPEGs, act like JPEGs, but then don’t show up on half the web browsers out there.

Actually, thanks to us having nothing to do apart from check this sort of thing, Firefox 3.5 seems to be able to handle CMYK JPEGs. Impressive! Google Chrome can’t. Internet Explorer 8 can’t either. But Opera 9.64 can. Sorry, it’s not going to get any more exciting than this around here. Here are the findings in a list:
BROWSERS THAT CAN “DO” CMYK JPEGS

Sorry about this one.
