Independent of the argument, I enjoyed the writing style and structure. Not many blog posts are as well written as this one.

I've had quite the opposite experience with automated check-out. I prefer it over a staffed check-out, but maybe the machines at the local store are simply easier to use. The reason why I like them is that I don't have a to deal with anothe

I don't think iPad magazine apps are a good solution. Seems like just another hack solution for publishers to charge money for something. I don't see how an iPad magazine app has another to offer that an HTML5/CSS3 site can't. So in that se

Not getting contacted back can many times also be a fault of the company hiring. Sometimes it takes weeks to hear back, sometimes they want you to stop by tomorrow while you clearly wrote you're on the other side of the country. Just anothe

Sounds like a situation he put himself in by having no goals and just looking for anything that comes up. Instead of doing that, he could have done research in what opportunities his degree opens up for him and specifically target those are

If you expect an orange and get an apple, you're automatically not happy, no matter how tasty the apple is. That's where a lot of criticism comes from. I found Inception to be a masterpiece. Yes, there was a lot of explanation to do, but it

I don't see this argument as very strong. Facebook will stagnate only if the company loses it's enormous drive to dominate social and give people what they want. Facebook is essentially a communication tool. There are two things in my mind

The egg is worthless, the chicken is priceless. You need both. One is the beginnging of the road, the other is the end. Many things happen in between. Let's not see the world so black and white please.

That's why I'm thinking that they don't use it for authentication. There were quite a few steps to go through, so my assumption would be that some steps are used for authentication and others are used to collect data. Man, I'm realizing I m

I was just talking about how the two brands are perceived and how differently they go about privacy.

Just compare Twitter and Facebook and how different the public perception and tone of media coverage of those two services are. I don't think it can be solely attributed to a dependency problem.

Agree with this point. It is the most visible among my friends that are teachers. They are incredibly scared that a student might somehow see something about them that the student's parents might not be too happy about. It's enough that a f

See my reply to another comment - the data doesn't exist. In some images I was supposed to identify random objects or blanks walls as my friends. So they do use this to train their algorithm and/or complete their database.

I don't think the data exists. In several images, I was supposed to identify a blank wall or a random object as a friend. Pretty sure they use this to tweak their face detection algorithms.

Looks great, but freezes Safari if I scroll down too fast. Probably since it's trying to load and display too many thumbs at once. It's a good direction but the details don't seem right yet. Increasing the image by 10% on hover doesn't add

Any text editor will do, main thing is that it's super quick to write things down. GTD-stuff is overkill for me. I found that keeping a list of ideas will clear my head to be open for new ideas. Otherwise my brain will use a lot of memory/C

I've experienced this too when I logged into from a different computer than usual. It's very misleading from Facebook, since it's not a re-authentication, it's just a login. I'm also pretty sure they just use this as a simply way to get the

Agreed. I keep a journal of ideas, even for very rough ones, that I come across. Many times I read an article or deal with a certain subject at work and ideas for businesses start forming. Key for me is to write them down right away, so my

I have a theory that everybody has about the same amount of problems. For people who don't have problems that life throws in their ways, they simply fill that void with other stuff. This antenna issue is one of those non-problems. Some peop

Just wanted to emphasize one more time that you need to act right now. Stop sleeping if you need to. The next few days are super important.

I'll share some experience with your from cornify.com, which had the same effect and still goes strong 1.5 years later (this year invitation to ROFLCON, SXSW people's choice award, installed in 550000 web pages...). This is my experience wi

Another lecture about how money can't make up for a good work environment where people can be proud of what they do. Problem with these articles is that money and a fulfilling job aren't mutually exclusive as it's being portrayed. It's not

I think it's great that some people are switching phones due to subjectively perceived advantages. "Openness" is one of those issues that gets brought up all the time and it's really more of a personal preference than a "hard feature" that

I think you hit it on the head. In the US, the standards are lower and you are much more surrounded by poor options. My experience is that people in the US simply care more about price and convenience than about quality in many areas. That

Good points. As it is with many approaches, responsive design is a technique that should only be used when it makes sense. Responsive design is still a great concept but it requires a lot of careful work. In an environment where just gettin

I can highly recommend CodeIgniter for small sites. I've been using it for a few projects now and the workflow has gotten pretty smooth.

This very much reminds me of the "America Speaking Out" initiative by the Republicans at http://www.americaspeakingout.com . As you are saying, simply letting anybody say anything doesn't produce results or encourage intelligent conversati

Note how the three features that Tumblr doesn't have use vague terms like "real", "works for anyone" and "practical and flexible". Reads like fluff to me.

Sounds perfectly reasonable and I hope they can pull it off. Google hasn't shown the UI design sensitivity necessary to compete with the iPhone UI, but they are determined and iterate quickly, so they can probably get to a point where their

Researched the top companies all over the US and then researched how the top people in the industry present themselves and what their portfolios look like. There's a lot of random browsing involved in that, but also just knowing who's good
