Oh my, I find it so annoying when maps in public places don't have north up. Usually when I'm in a new place, before leaving my hotel I look at the map and I remember where to go, which turn to take etc. There only problem is metr

That was exactly my first thought. Just add 2 more letters and you have "GOAL", a new brand of soccer equipment for children.

I'd be really surprised if Mandarin reached such status not only in 20 years, but in the next 100 years. While it certainly gets more popular due to China's growth as an economic power, its far behind English when it comes to numb

I think the first time I read about "standing seats" was in Ryanair magazine in 2010. They didn't introduce it, I'm sure it was because of regulations (but they're from EU, maybe airlines in other parts of the world

Absolutely! When buying an air ticket, at least on the checkout page I see the final price I'm paying. On the contrary, when renting a car a couple of years ago I had following situation - I booked a car and paid, then I arrived at the

Whenever someone compares Slack to IRC I try to imagine my company, where 70% of people are non-technical, using some IRC client as our chat app. There's no way this would happen. Slack was never meant to replace IRC, it was meant to b
