We (at our company) don't use pagination anywhere now. But we do have extensive search abilities. We have found, very few of our users just scroll. They use the search. But the "infinite" scrolling is there if they want it.

Ok ok.. I still hear "pot".. but that's probably my "New Yorker ears" tuning. You are right though; since it's aimed at high school, I doubt it's pot. ;(

You sure about that? I heard pot. Maybe I just "wanted" to hear pot. I'll listen again.

"I think this story is getting more press than it really deserves." Don't you think that was the whole point of the authors in the first place? I mean, here we are, talking about this again! Even if we all end up flaming the authors, here w

I also thought C should be the first language anyone learns. Cause you learn the most (about the machine) and other languages are easy peasy compared (well except for assembler, of course).

It's called "human error". And it happens. A lot. I don't know how much training Apple provides to it's customer service reps (does Apple even run their own CS or is it farmed out?); but nothing can prevent "human error".

"Olympic committee allow this" Money of course. What did you think?

Oh so you have to join Google +? And then send a message to a few profiles; hoping you get a response? That's now good customer service.

And that is Google's achilles' heel; support and customer service. It's across their entire line of software and services. Try getting a-hold of someone if you a Google Apps member. You damn lucky if you get anything other then a automated

"As others have pointed out, gridlock is a feature of the US political system, not a bug." It's a feature of all elected governments. You wanna worse gridlock.. sit on on any EU meet.

The Heathkit H8 hit in 1977 (some say 78, but I remember it under the tree in 77). Of course it was a kit.

I mean when there is no "enterprise" market. Tech is changing, devices are getting smaller and more powerful. The need for "enterprise" software/hardware is slowly dying. Eventually "enterprise" will mean big servers of data. And that's abo

Again, Apple doesn't really care what developers feel. What matters are the masses. Which don't care about these issues. The App Store is easy to use, accessible and allows them to download their apps on multiple Macs. It's a win win from t
