Ooops, thanks for the clarification. I should have been a little more curious. Looks good so far. I like the shortcuts to bookmarked items. And the different color setups for the bookmarked items.

The "downloads" page states that the uploaded date for the only file available is January 2009...? Am I missing something here? As good as it may be, I'm not sure I want to waste time using an 2-year old Alpha version.

As a basketball player, I'd gladly take any (any, really) critique from Kobe. I won't take any (any, really) shit from Joe Blow. Prove to me you can do better than me. Then, we'll talk.

Spot on. When I relocated to the US from Europe, it was impossible for me to open a bank account, rent an apartment or get a cell phone without an SSN. When I explained that to people at the SS administration, they told me that an SSN can n

I don't know if the culture at Netflix is to blame but I've been noticing more and more how poorly designed their consumer-facing interfaces were. The UI "feel" on the web site strikes me as aged where there's so much that could be done to

Comparing implementing SSL/HTTPS to securing your front door with an electronic time lock, armed guards and dogs on patrol is a bit of a stretch. I can do one for pennies on the dollar. The other one is a lot pricier (what with dog food and

To answer your question: because most people reuse their passwords across websites. I don't care if you can log into my HN account. I do care if you use that same password to log into my Gmail account. You can argue that people shouldn't re

As reasonable as your assessment is, humanity has not gotten so far in the fields of ideas, philosophy, technology in general or any other field you can think of by being purely altruistic. Inspiration is a powerful feeling that drives prog

Regardless of what one thinks about the service vs. product discussion, it's hard to argue that no official Dropbox client released in 9 months is reasonable. Especially when important features are not in the current client (selective synci

The inbox is incredibly slow to load up ("refreshing conversations...") compared to the native SMS app or even Whatsapp (iPhone 4, 4.2, 3G 3 bars). And while it loads up, it doesn't seem to be possible to switch from the inbox to the dialer

Although it was fairly explicitly pointed in the article (by Rafi Sela), I'm not seeing much of it discussed here. I think a big part of it is cultural. Americans may object to this but I believe that, by virtue of having been shielded from

And that is probably why you like it so much. Because you're not forced to use it for anything and everything Apple-related on the desktop.
