https://www.cueup.com/ , for those of you who don't know what it is (it's really hard to google for, cue is not an especially unique name).

So maybe I'm overreacting or misunderstanding, but if this kind of thing became popular (using a service to push torrents, which are by and large used for things lawmen don't like, to your dropbox account) could dropbox face similar issues

So this advice is as old as the Internet hills. Does anyone actually have strong evidence supporting it (i.e. quantifiable UX studies)? I've always found the reasons given for this kind of thing rather vague and arguable: - Don't use click:

"Peity (sounds like deity)" As someone who pronounces deity day-a-tee, I'm guessing you actually mean pee-a-tee and not pay-a-tee.

It isn't? Can you explain that in a bit more detail?

Can someone explain why this kind of thing is a good idea? Apart from ICANN making more sweet sweet money, what exactly is the point?

It just feels like them squashing bad press. They have rectified this specific instance. There is nothing from the linked article that indicates that Joe Normal won't have these or similarly silly problems in the future.

I know this is an old study, but I'm amazing at how many people use the back button. I wonder if that's how a lot of people deal with search results that didn't pan out (they hit back to go to Google, instead of opening them in a bunch of t

I've done the same, though I tend to limit it at about 24 characters, simply because if I come across a situation where I have to type it on a foreign computer while reading the password from the password manager on my phone, I don't want t

On the other other hand, I don't really like the idea of 1) tying all my accounts to Google (what happens when I want to get rid of my Google account? Or my Google account gets locked?) or 2) having Google / FB be aware of other websites I

You are. The salt is just to stop the use of rainbow tables, which are pre-generated maps between plaintext passwords and their hashes. Anyway, you want to store a new salt (not just a system-wide 'this is my salt' salt) for each stored pas

I wrote out basically the exact same points (including the pancakes) and then thought to check the rest of the thread.. The one you didn't mention is that it's not great people with older browsers or impaired / older people in general.

Absolutely, and I threw him some dosh because I think that even if it fails horribly this is the kind of tool evolution we need to look in to. All I'm saying is that it's not like he's going to run out of money to build in Python support.

Chris has YC funding now, so surely he doesn't need another 7k from the Internet to make sure Python support is in.

Thank the creator. It was a blindingly unnecessary fashion statement that caused more problems than it solves, and I wish it safe passage on its way to the closet of failed experiments.

I really hate that argument, because if you're here to have an actual conversation then the whole "you'll never understand until you x" statement is just you shutting the conversation down. How about this: living without children at this ti

In terms of Opera users not being allowed into sites: mostly just experimental "Look at what we can do with random vendor extensions we've decided to call HTML5 today". In terms of performance though, Opera has some weird issues. Try to go

Firstly, they very well could be stupid. Secondly, it depends what you mean by traditional ads. I loath television and spend far more time on the internet (and don't use adblock) and yet interstitial ads on the tv and radio (and on the net,

On Android I doubt you can completely shut the phone down and wake it up again, but you can certainly kill the network on timers. There are the more complicated battery saving apps that do stuff like kill 3G while your screen is off and ove

This kind of thing makes me wish I lived in the valley, or in the US in general, I feel like I'm missing out. Any app that requires other people near you using it too is essentially useless to me.

Is this really true? As in, are savings accounts in the US essentially useless now? I don't know about the rest of the world, but in NZ standard saving accounts are ~2%, and more investment focused (fixed term and variants) are 4-6%.

The performance is beyond terrible. I have a Galaxy S, which is not the fastest phone in the world, but if I get a notification that someone has commented on my post or something, it can literally take minutes for the FB app to: - Start w

If I understand it right this is essentially a DDOS tool. It surprises me that MS would help fund this.

I have to admit I'm a little confused. Is this so that a company you follow can pay for their message to be highlighted, or is it so my friend who really wants me to know what he had for breakfast can pay for the privilege?

Absolutely. Maybe office politics works differently in the states (where I presume he's from), but it sounds like he's keeping it quite so he can screw around at work. If I made a script that deals with 98% of all of my work I could not ima

Additionally, if you want linux support and don't care so much about the web support that 1Password gives you (your password file is also a website that uses JS to decrypt your passwords) or the prettiness and would like to save US$60 KeePa

It looks like my idea of augmented reality is different from google's. The features and functions shown in that video were basically removing the pain of pulling your phone out of your pocket. It was, essentially, a more elegant system than

Your first point is subjective, your second point is confusing (pull to refresh is the only way refreshing works?) and your third point implies that people are already familiar with it (on Android you're mostly not, I've only ever seen it o
