My hate for the overuse of "app", isn't a good number of them just web wrappers?

Maybe if the site wasn't a bloated mess of useless or barely working features, people would be willing to turn off their adblocks. Plus I bet they do get their money through some tax loops or some other form light money launder. If not

Heh, something like that, thanks.

Lovely! Needs a "translator" for sites along with BS counter.

No. If the search engine thinks I meant something else, it's supposed to ask "did you mean [something else]?" and not guess that I'm incapable of writing 4 characters correctly and serve me the wrong results. That's

...not that kind of guessing. Obviously. That's not "similar to the search query", that's just different meanings of words/phrases. I didn't say anything about that, but it looks like you didn't read past

Actually, I've noticed that DGG is way overdoing guessing. More often than not I get results that are only similar to the search query in some way instead of actually what I'm looking for. This has been getting worse over time for

A company that slurps all contacts and calendar entries from customers' smartphones without their explicit consent and without a way to opt out from it is talking about privacy.

Wow, so much potential. There's some weird formatting going on though. I might be using slightly old and lightweight e-mail client (M2 in Opera12), but I still don't think it should look like this http://puu.sh/fTY

Similarly, I believe you shouldn't ask strangers how are they or even use it as a greeting.

I stopped using LinkedIn right after I heard that it harvests contact details from emails. Thankfully, being "paranoid", I've never allowed it to access that data. After that I deleted my account. Two years later, I received

My main problem is that it's longer than "tens". And I have 10 fingers. And I use base-10 for everything, including counting the dozens. It's just more logical (and I say that without reading through the wiki page, so so

Next step: metric measurement units everywhere. I've been waiting for that for decades. If "dozens" would die as well, even better.

This really seems like excusing the underperforming education system in US and cultural glorification of language bastardization. Every language has some areas that are difficult to grasp and English is one of the easier languages, as most

Well, hopefully using the Flash player remains an option.

Yeah, well, I keep removing apostrophes from (most) plurals. It's a plague. Except I'm not proficient enough to make any software that could help me, so I do that only when I happen to stumble upon it, heh.

I think most people do that, question is whether that also negates any subconscious perception modifiers (sorry, I don't know what else to call that). Like when "feel good" commercials make you associate the product with good

It's a form of (marketing?) deception, isn't it? One that's been running for so long that it altered how people perceive prices. Am I the only one who doesn't like these kind of practices?

Based on those guidelines, people wouldn't complain at all except few cases of complaining directly to the source of the subject at hand. It feels to me like something between promoting apathy and this: http://markmanson.net

The thing is, where do we draw the line in "things we cannot change"? Are we supposed to stop complaining about design decisions of some software? About corrupt politics? The noisy neighbour?

Each of those "everybody" should have a huge asterisks next to them.

I'm curious, does EFF fight for the global "internet freedom" or just for American one? I know those two are tied, but they aren't the same.

Hah, the player is the least of my issues with the service. And I hope this means they won't get rid of the Flash option altogether.

My gods, it looks more like Opera12 than the latest Chropera. I'm so very tempted to start using this as a daily driver right away! And I got an error when trying to register on their forums (edit: solved through IRC), oh well. I wonde

Sure, first websearch result [1] , although I was talking about EFF's evaluation [2]. Of course there is -some- encryption, not plaintext, but it was better before Microsoft came in, or so I hear. But I worded the original post poorly,

Skype is getting more and more useless with every iteration. Encryption is gone, file transfer first stopped to recognize direct LAN connection between clients and now some of the files get stored "in the cloud", the design is jus

The moral of the story is that average users shouldn't use or have access to the administrator account, but that's nothing new, is it? Oh, and that words like "client", "program", or "utility" are dea

I'm not sure I like what MS is doing. They're innovating (or at least fixing things) almost exclusively only in cloud/online services/products.

A phone with physical buttons that's not targeted at senior customers? Amazing.
