During the WWDC keynote I tweeted this: "Not sure what's worse about WWDC keynote days: Apple fans cheering for new features or Android/WP fans saying "we have that already"." It's boring and repetitive an

The government said "trust us" too. I'm not entirely sure why anybody who wants to buy an untraceable phone would go to a website run by an unknown person to buy one. There are so many ways that this could go wrong for the ph

"...most definitely it wouldn't work on a general touristic place"? That's a pretty strong statement to use with no proof. The sites that the National Trust maintains are "general touristic places". It's the UK's largest membership organiza

When I lived in the US my taxes were about the same (maybe three or four percent less) than what they are now in Canada. Further, the amount of money I had to pay out of my own pocket each month for health insurance in the US was about thre

So as a hypothetical business owner in Washington who sells things online, I have to keep track of the tax laws of the other 49 states, and remit 50 checks quarterly (or maybe annually)?

There's another thing that doesn't really jive with me about this guy's story. Take 2) and 3) together. He says that "there were only a handful of us in Canada who could do this kind of work", then "talent was plentiful". So which is it?

Yep, when he talks about Europe he could easily mean Hungary, where salaries are about half what they are in Germany or England. Europe is a big place, and just saying "Europe" is like saying "United States". Hell, he could have hired a dev

An important part about design is the attention to detail. Missing a fairly easily-caught detail that will be glaringly obvious to his target audience that he missed it isn't showing the proper attention to detail, and it makes it less like

Okay, this is probably going to get flagged or downvoted or something, but that Quartz site really sucks in Firefox. I have to keep scrolling up and down to get another two sentences of text, and even then it's hit-or-miss as to whether it'

The phrase should have actually read "a great minority of people decided to uphold their end of the bargain". You can't read people's intentions through their inaction. The same sort of argument is made by people who protest a vote by not v
