Being unable to stand looking at your computer for extended periods of time will probably do wonders for combating code bloat.

I also don't get it. Why don't more tech people run companies? Are we too busy amusing ourselves by making fun of things we don't understand? http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/03/28/iphone-se-preorders-top-34m-in-china-gold-rose-gold-most-popular---report http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/03/28/iphone-se-preorder...

  What makes you think a “tech person” would be less likely to offer products in a range of colours? ”Tech people” also have æsthetic sensibilities, surely?

    The point is that it's a popular color in a very important market. Someone looked at a market then chose the color. The comment to which I was replying was just one of many comments you'll see from tech types. Don't we want to have a better understanding of why decisions are made?

  Because "tech people" aren't always the best at judging consumer tastes. I thought the iPad was going to be a failure, because I considered (and consider) the tablet form factor to offer a worse usability/portability tradeoff than laptops.

    I'll be the first to admit (and have, on many many occasions!) I have no idea what the average consumer sentiment is. When the original iPod came out I thought it was going to flop (mainly because the internal hard drive platters were prone to failure when jogging.) I stick to B2B/enterprise startups whenever I can for this very reason.

  A grey, comprised of 25.9% red, 25.9% green and 25.9% blue in RGB, or 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow and 74.1% black in CMYK. It should have a hue angle of 0 degrees, a saturation of 0% and a lightness of 25.9%. It should be obtained by blending #848484 with #000000 .

    Also, seven red lines, all perpendicular to each other, with some in transparent ink, and one shaped like a kitten . . .
