A classic! Kinda sad to see that world has become reality & nobody seems to have noticed it. Edited to add: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_separated_meat

The one that is so good that you don't just find people who like it, but people who act on that hunch and become your co-founder.

How on earth is washing windows worth $500 / day ?! Or am I misunderstanding and does it involve rope work?

Well, for most of my projects I end up beating a framework into submission to make it do what I want. Using something like Drupal for those projects (I have) would accomplish only one thing: drive me insane.

Has our society become so utilitarian that we can't even spare the change for paying a few people to work on things that previous generations have considered worthy of pursuit? (a.k.a. The Arts) Sure, producing more widget workers for the

From experience I can tall that cell phones seem to work up to an altitude of about 7000ft in slow-flying aircraft (ask a skydiver).

Isn't that why you should VPN out? I think in this case frustration is good . Makes people look for solutions & realize how stupid that firewall is.

Yep, that's UX. Of the methods you mentioned I find card sorting to be particularly effective when you are trying to figure out what to present to the user.

Thanks, that was an interesting read. I'm not sure what to think of these kinds of experiments. Most of the time I feel like modern science is hindered by too much political correctness, but then you read something like this ... makes me re

A while ago I gave a colleague a game idea & challenged him to get it in the AppStore within 1 month just to prove that ideas are worthless. Nothing happened, so maybe I should do it myself after all?

yes, but they entered the market at a point in time when the masses were not ready for social media. Myspace was for kids, friendster was for early adopters.

Anyone else think this is a sad use of both human and computing resources? Technically interesting, yes, but all of that for playing freaking farmville ?

You're not the only one, the SEO people in my company got onto this surprisingly quickly. I sometimes feel black (hat) has become the new white: for whatever reasons companies seem to be more willing to accept the less ethical sides of doin

Fellow Belgian here. Left the country 4 years ago & honestly I'm not sure if I ever want to go back. I'm raving mad about the political insanity. Despite the high tax levels, we managed to become a country that is virtually bankrupt &#3

Premium-grade FUD, really interesting to observe (I live in Germany). What I find interesting is that while no direct legislative action is being taken by politicians on this front, they generate so much noise in the media that people are o

Totally agree, identity is self-illusion at best.

If you feel bored and lonely, do something that scares you. That's how I got through difficult times. Lots of geeks remain geeky out of self-consciousness. Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself. 10 years from now nobody will give a shi

You have a revolution brewing there, brother. I'll add to that: what if people would just stop sugarcoating everything & tell what they really think.

In my world 80% of those links don't qualify as porn. It's fairly classy stuff so I don't see how I should take it against Tumblr. What I do wonder about is how Tumblr makes money serving up so much content for free.

Strongly disagree. When I see those little sparks of delight in my mother's eyes when she is using her iPad I think I see a pretty strong predictor of Apple 'being onto something'. Tablets are not about being great multiple-purpose devices.

It's not only that, the whole article is pretty much editorializing. When will the MSM learn to just cover the facts & then STFU?

It's an interesting problem that needs solving, it got me thinking, so I guess it is appealing to the intellectual in me. What about an AirBnB-style service for the homeless, it'd need to be low tech & there'd need to be safety checks t

Anyone got tips on payment gateways & merchant accounts outside of the US. I'd love to use chargify.com but getting a merchant account seems to be a PITA in Europe and I absolutely refuse to do any more business with PayPal.

Wishful thinking? I know I want a Facebook "killer" to pop up soon. Network effects are what I hate & love most about the tech industry: why is it that something beautiful always has to be ruined once some player becomes big enough to d
