After Flash being blocked by iOS and the increasing popularity of HTML5-JavaScript with the new features offered, it was expected that Adobe will come up with something new to help Flash survive.
Here it is: Wallaby; it is a new tool/technology by Adobe for converting FLA files into HTML5.
Using this new tool, designers/developers will still be able to keep creating with Flash and their HTML-converted artwork will be compatible with any device including iOS.
Wallaby is still experimental, doesn't support 100% of Flash features but it seems to be a "very good news" for Flash fans.

When designing websites, images-to-be-used usually doesn't exist at first as it is the layout that matters the most.
However, the sizes for the images are usually pre-set and inserting some placeholder images help us better seeing/analyzing the layout.
Rather than creating these placeholder images manually, there are free to use services which can automate the process and save us time.
Here is a list of 8 free placeholder image services for instant dummy images:
As the name tells it, Flickrholdr fetches images from the huge database of Flickr.
Besides the size of the images, it is possible to mention tags in the URL which is great for using related images in each spot.
The service is full-featured with the ability to mention sizes, image format (.gif, .jpg, .png) and can also display text.
The size of the images generated are displayed on them as well.
Placekitten is thematic placeholder service that can display any size of kitten images.
There is also a jQuery plugin for dynamically changing any or all of your images to placeholder kittens with just a single line of code.

DummyImage.com is a placeholder generator with a huge set of customization options including size, colors, text, multiple file types and preset sizes.
And, it is an open source script.
A simple generator where you can only define the width and height. Also, the source of the script is shared as well.
Again a simple service where you can mention a text to be displayed besides the sizes.
IpsumImage is a Google App Engine hosted, open source placeholder service (built with Python).
It is possible to customize the sizes, background-foreground colors and text to be displayed.
The service follows a different approach than others and requires a JavaScript to be installed and works without defining "image sources" but simply adding a specific class to each.
Other than sizes, colors and text, you can also set whether the image will be rectangle or a circle.
