How? Windows installation has been fine for a decade and a half. Actually, it's going BACKWARD, with vendors now not bothering to ask you WHERE you want application links stored and instead littering your machine's program menu with endle

Unfortunately, Illustrator is essentially abandonware at this point. It's so hobbled by design defects and other bugs that you're much better off with Corel Draw, even if you have to run it in a VM on a Mac. This is just one example: http:

Why and how is a Photoshop plug-in being sold only through the App Store?

"Astroturfing"? Come on, use real words that mean something.

WTF, New York Times? Look at this bullshit editorializing: "the band wants to ignore valid contracts and deprive theaters and promoters of standard revenue sources." First off, they bought the tickets FROM THE THEATER BOX OFFICE. So no, t

Yes, I'm sick of this bullshit where something that easily fits in a standard envelope isn't sent by USPS for less than 50 cents.

A "forgot password" or password-reset function. It's not letting me log in, and I'm mystified because I know what password I used. I had to use an alternate ID to post this.

Whatever "Rapportive" is. Time to start using descriptive terms in headlines, not obscure names.

So this headline says that something undefined is "listed" on something else undefined. Talk about lazy and useless.

Ugh. Just get rid of restricted TLDs entirely. Oh wait, ICANN finally decided to do that, but then made it into a giant sham and rip-off. Inept clowns and scammers.

Are you saying you don't recognize a printer when you see it?

Hm, yeah, check their page: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7233/7169306722_60b500bf36.jpg Munch munch! It's fun to play stupid, right?

Assuming you've defined one, and a URL is not an appropriate user ID either.

Even then, the Gmail UI sucks badly: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6034/6310566055_4a5f5d4a53_b.j...

Not to mention that the icon is for the reels in a cassette, not a reel-to-reel tape.

Yep. I'm pretty sure Blue and others sell mics designed to look exactly like those old chrome ones.

And he missed the "film" icon for movies. I think about this one when I see the stylized movie-chain trailers in theaters: What percentage of the audience even knows what that strip is supposed to be?

Yep, and you have supposed "leaders" like Apple that just give up and stop trying. Apple widely just throws up a button with a "gear" on it when they're too lazy to organize functions properly. And there's no telling what the gear button

Yep. It's a perfectly good word for the repository of copied items. What's the point in inventing a new term for something, when this one makes sense and is widely understood?

The question is why Facebook forces you to use an E-mail address as a user ID. Now THAT's amateur hour.

This headline illustrates the importance of the hyphen. The headline refers to "people icons" that are old. I went to see how many people icons there could even be. Turns out that what he really means is old-people icons.

But I don't see anyone using D or development tools that support it. Vala sounds like Objective-C (although I'm sure its syntax is less retarded). If people are going to spend time learning some enhanced flavor of C, they might as well lea

Is Rails as prevalent as it once was, or has something emerged to overtake it for whatever it is that Rails excels at?

Microsoft's naming has generally ranged from clueless to infantile. .NET was definitely an attempt to play catch-up to everyone else in regard to the Internet, and even Microsoft couldn't explain what it was. We went to TechEd every year,
