Hey, come on, 3D was huge and the glasses you have to wear for this don't make you look as silly and are totally not going to give you headaches or make you sick, plus there'll be even more content for this, and because of the sta

They say it's too hot in Qatar to hold the World Cup too, but you can't argue with money.

"The pressure to be cool and attractive is intense. With FB, there is no escape." Can't they just change how the stuff they posted on FB is shared?

It's US specific and even then it's not true. Whenever I hear people going on about the constitution and how it's such an amazing document a little voice goes "pssst! Slavery!"

This is the appeal against the appeal. You can guess what will happen next.

I suppose the obvious answer here is cyanogenmod.

You're wrong. It would be awful to live somewhere where you get to choose which companies are allowed to start.

A lot of sites/services start for a laugh, and/or because the people who start it assume/hope there'll be some way of making money from it when it gets popular. For a few, this is true. Some go dark, some give up, some

That's a reason for a pattern, not a dark pattern, though.

It's just dipped below 1% market share. It doesn't matter if Microsoft kill it or not - either way it's not coming back.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter at all if there's any evidence that a given claim about a particular version of an app is being tapped; you have to assume that they all are, all the time, and act accordingly. You

90 days? Wow. With stuff getting more and more cheaply made these days it doesn't make sense to assume that anything will last longer than the very minimum duration they're legally responsible for it. I'd be unwilling to sp

I think they mean that if the product doesn't launch for whatever reason you don't get your money back...it's gone.

Email support for most companies is awful. I've always had better response from Twitter; perhaps because it's all out in the open.

Kind of odd to even bring ethics up when discussing how websites make money. It doesn't matter at all. Ethics is normally used to discuss other people getting harmed by actions, but when all that harm can be removed simply by closing

There are no hard problems in web design, other than that browsers are a really shitty platform for delivering software, and there's never been a concerted effort to start from scratch and solve it properly once. Just loads of propriet

It's not psychological, it's just business. There's a relationship between wealth and how you dress, and banks couldn't give a shit about poor people.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask because I hate most websites which aren't just JavaScript free pages with text and a few relevant, tasteful images, but don't people who "design" websites actually check what the

But nearly everyone uses social media. It's like saying you're at risk because the phone book lists your name and address. It lists nearly everyone's name and address. What makes you so special?

Yeah, and it sounds exactly like something a non-technical manager might say to "help" their workers.

Well, no, don't look at the warnings as entertainment one might tire of (although I appreciate that news is typically presented that way); more as a warning one should heed.

Interesting you used smoking as a metaphor and not advertising. The amount of effort and money that's gone into that is amazing.

We don't necessarily care what he thinks but we are made aware of what he thinks so when he mentions a book people are going to talk about it. What's the alternative? Ignore him because he's rich? Treat every media outlet lik

Hmm. Suppose you personally don't think an article is very well written but don't want to deprive other people of the opportunity to read it; surely a single inoffensive post critical of it is better than losing the whole article?
