Before power users criticize the UI, keep in mind the recent study that 90% of computer users didn't know to use CTRL-F to search a document. Things that may be intuitive to you, may not be so to most other users. Maybe MS did extensive us

I suspect it's purpose to identify hipsters in San Francisco. They put up a page with no explanation what the site was to be out, just an email sign up form. If you signed up without any idea what you would be signing up for, but just to b

There's a positive feedback loop involved as well. Beautiful people are more likely to have others want to befriend them. This social practice makes them more sociable. Which makes more people want to befriend them. I don't know if anyon

Can someone explain exactly where this money will go? Will it go to states, the federal budget, some specific department in the government? Is there a particular person who determines how this $500 million gets spent? I've seen companies g

My educated guess is that there is some benefit to having a uniform distribution of solar power over the course of a day. If all leaves pointed in one optimal direction, then more energy would be directed at the tree in a single day, but i

Without enforcement of the social contract, society would quickly collapse, or transform from something very different from it is today. We all want to believe that people are all good, but the sad truth is we're not...at least, not all o
