The one thing you're forgetting is that this happens _every_ time there's a new website redesign for Facebook. Its actually very typical for this to happen in general. People despise change will complain about a new design even if the desig

This is pretty close to reality in the form of the Eye-Fi: www.eye.fi. The sd card automatically uploads pictures/video over wifi to your computer and/or certain social networking sites.

Nielsen readily admits that the usability of his site is bad, but it is distinctive looking.

I agree with you. Whenever I hear someone say the words "best practice" I rewrite that in my head as "average practice". If you have a team full of idiots you probably don't want to use git anyways.

Twitter has a lot of mindshare (I can't believe how much I see it mentioned on TV or mainstream newspapers). However, in terms of user base they are still pretty small (6 million?). There will be more competitors, especially since making yo

The economy is in trouble, but depression still seems like quite a stretch to me.

It is extremely difficult to get an undergrad education without going into some debt even if you go to a public instituion. I went to a very cheap state school in a low cost of living area and even with a full scholarship I barely escaped w

This is not exactly a very convincing article. For one the two examples do not display the same in FF3 (there's different amounts of white space between the three columns in the different versions), and of course, the examples looks complet

w3schools overestimates the firefox share because there are far more web designer/developers going to their site. The actual breakdown is more like 66% IE6/IE7 and 33% FF/Opera/Safari. Opera and Safari are a couple percentage points each.

While I believe its true, I still don't think good teachers are worth 100k/year. That's way too high. That's higher than any other basic profession except doctor/lawyer, and there are certainly some doctors and lawyers that don't make that

When I put ubuntu on my machine at home firefox 3 seemed substantially slower than it did on windows. I'm not sure if FF3 is crappy on iinux or if there was something about my install that was screwed up.

What's a more efficient way to financial freedom than creating and selling a startup? Probably the only other realistic alternative was becoming an investment banker, but I don't think anyone is going to argue for that one right now.

You more or less just described 4chan.org, which does in fact get an absurd amount of traffic.

Why can't you ask if someone is a US citizen? I thought certain jobs (e.g., DoD contractor needing security clearance) required citizenship? Or are you only allowed to ask about that in specific circumstances?

I would guess that it has a lot more to do with the volume of traffic on newmogul vs HN than the type of people.

If there's a 100 different systems out there that's a pretty amazing sign that CMS is not a solved problem. I think part of the problem is there is no way to build a one-size fits all solution. Any solution will need to be customized by a t

A conservative is someone you don't like (if you're a liberal). Other than that, I have no idea what the hell it means (vice versa for the term liberal). Political discussions are tough to have because the terminology has become so meaningl

Xbox Live is the only truly innovative product I can think of that MS has put out in quite a long time. And even Xbox Live is getting pretty old.
