Cool idea, but the UX is very unintuitive. For example, when trying to search for a hotel in LA, every time I zoom (the mousewheel doesn't work?) it begins searching. Slowly. When it finally updates (I have clicked zoom several times b

Is there any single person that is so upset over the change that they would install a browser extension to reverse it? This is mad. It will grow on you, just give it some time.

The design is incredibly on-point. The breakpoints for smaller screens work well for me, and everything is where I would expect it to be. The subtle animations and the crisp/clean interface are very refreshing. Last time I looked at th

Hopefully there isn't any DRM ;). I think this could work. There could be a decent aftermarket sales opportunity, too. The ability to sell 'prettier' planters/etc.

I think this has been around for a little while. I remember seeing it pop up on my feed. I think it's a great idea, but a lot of the animations are still a bit clunky (slow/choppy). Polymer still has the leg up, but this is neat f

Fair enough! I think there is a lot of information out there, and it can certainly be overwhelming.

I believe John is writing for an audience that PG is not addressing. He is taking his lifestyle business approach and saying that it should apply to businesses that are seeking funding and trying to ultimately have an exit, or become a shin

I do not know much about big business financials, but this seems like a move that would allow Google to separate its experimental or research-based businesses that do not turn a profit from its giant bulging revenue beasts. It will likely a

I personally have moved on to Google Messenger for MMS. It's simpler and faster. I like the feature of being able to color-code my contacts in conversations too. It just makes it a lot easier to read through a group text that way. Hang

Cue thousands of determined hackers descending on Project Euler! It would be great if the community could find the exploit and save the site.

I've changed the way that bookmarks are handled. It now waits until an element is clicked before updating the hash in the URL. Once that has been done, the page (and position on the page) can be bookmarked/shared/etc.

Thanks. I'll take a look. I think localstorage would solve the problem of keeping your place on a single computer, but it wouldn't allow you to bookmark it on your PC, and return on your phone to the same spot for example.

Thanks for pointing this out. I hadn't realized that it does this. I'm thinking of a way to fix it. I appreciate the feedback.

My Samsung Smart TV started doing this recently. A small banner ad scrolls across the top of it telling me about some new app that I should download (presumably on the TV's app store?). It seems to me that once a product (TVs, smart ph

It's actually very strategic. You'll start having "a-HA!" moments after you have wasted quite a bit of time there. One of the first things I realized is that a very small cell can safely hide near the largest cells in th

This article sounds inspiring when taken at face value, but it also strikes fear into my heart. This sounds eerily familiar to the dot-com bubble, and I can't help thinking that churning out zero-to-hero software engineers, web develop

What are the advantages of the MS stack? I'm familiar with Apache - Where can I learn more about IIS? What are some good C# learning resources? I have been using Safari Books' videos so far. Where can I learn more about Entity Fra

It's uhh.. cool . Haha. I can't think of a good reason either, but we're all hobbyists here, right? It looks like a fun weekend project.

Are there some more in-depth demo videos? I'd love to see how/whether it is able to interact with databases, for example. Can I see records directly in my code? Looks like a neat tool.

It's possible to be contacted by multiple recruiters at the same company, no?

How do you get into something like that, if you don't mind me asking? What's your specialty, and where were you in your career path 20 years ago that set you up for it?

I'm worried about a few things: Where will Edge take us? Is Edge replacing IE, or is it parallel? I feel like this is going to cause confusion. Why did they choose a modern evolution of the Internet Explorer logo (Blue "e" wi

Something about the icons used in Edge feel unfamiliar to me. The back, forward, and refresh arrows even feel alien. I think they have deviated away from recognizable icons for the rest of the toolbar too. Something just doesn't feel r

I think that's an interesting observation, and I agree. I feel that the FB posts are just as annoying and unwanted as those FW: FW: FW:... emails of yesteryear.

I feel like this is terrible advice. If you have $10,000, there are safer ways to invest it. If you are using a short blog post to plan your retirement and ultimately your future, you are in trouble! Check out mutual funds (managed) and ind

I absolutely agree. If my memory serves me correctly, it was the first Google app to feature "cards" -- which has obviously made its way to almost every other IP that Google owns. The UI is slick, and it felt very fresh when it de
