My head started to spin when trying to reconcile points 1 and 5. Point 1 states Adobe Flash has proprietary features and the standardized open feature sets of HTML5, CSS, and JS should be used instead. Point 5 states 3rd party layers limits

Very clever. Have you considered making the slider non-linear (the distance on the slider between Yuck and Meh is smaller than between Good and Awesome)? If most people are going to rate their tea somewhere between Good and Awesome, it al

I've decided that "steep learning curve" doesn't have to do with mathematical graphs at all. Saying something has a steep learning curve is the same as saying there is a barrier to entry. That barrier is knowledge, and a steep path over t

And I think you are making my point for me. Which would be a more personal website: a blog with some computer nerd's face on it, or a blog with a corporate logo on it? If a person's profile picture on a blog doesn't reduce the readership,
