I agree with niggler, I guess this tax would eliminate >95% of all trades. Therefore the expected tax income of 352 billion would be significantly lower (~ 20 billion) over 10 years. Still I do believe the tax would have a significant

I strongly agree. As an example try to create an Launcher for Eclipse, it is a usability nightmare. Windows: Right click > Pin to Taskbar Mac: Right click > Options > Keep in Dock Ubuntu: gedit ~/.local/share/a

Considering that humans are the judge of what constitutes as a well spaced font, one should look at the workings of the human brain. It turnes out we already know the algorithm employed by the visual cortex for edge detection, the _Gabor fi

I can not be happy about the death of another human being, but I feel Gadhafi has done horrible things and was a great threat to the people he tyrannized. I hope that Libya finds piece & prosperity.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very appreciated. The current problem with our website is: We didn't put the newest data up. We have other plans with it and kind of starved the consumer version of new laptops. Nevertheless your points ar

I was on stage (testranking.com) I completely froze when PG started to fire questions at me. It is amazing how fast he got to the core points. It was my first time on stage, it is really hard to prepare for this kind of experience.

I submitted the article and must add that the data in it is rather unbelievable. A different article has GroupOn's Average Revenue per User at 8.6 USD http://www.tnl.net/blog/2011/07/24/how-much-is-a-user-worth/ . One more article has the

Lets imagine someone would want to build a "retina display" which's ppi value matches the maximum ppi of the human foveal vision. (fovea is the point of the eye with the highest density of rod & cone cells) According to this article thi

Yes I am aware of this point of view. I think, the trigger for the lost decade can be attributed to the housing bubble. Yet, the almost complete stop in the GDP's growth and the complete immunity to monetary stimuli (~0% interest rate for 2

There is no data other than surveys I could think of to prove this “allegation”. I am sorry; you will have to remain unconvinced. On a side note, I did not believe it either. But the fact that a couple would want to have sex every week, or

Shame culture. Japanese couples are ashamed that their neighbors might notice something. Therefor they prefer to go to some anonymous place. Furthermore have you ever been to an average Tokyo, Osaka flat? They are incredibly tiny and the mo

Your assumption is correct, I am European. I don’t feel comfortable to discuss private things in public, but I will state some facts. In my social circle there were 8 marriages between Japanese (all women) and foreigners. 4 ended in the pas

I choose to mention the nickname Japanese have for this tax. Really it is the municipal-tax which is either 7% (I think) of the income, or minimum of 180 USD/month (in my area, in Tokyo it is higher). The tax is used for the local infrastru

I am married to a Japanese and live here right now, so I can only comment on the situation of the country. I will try to give an economical assessment of the situation. As you might be aware Japan had a “lost decade” during the 90s. It expe

This is definitely the wrong crowed to present following facts, but I feel it might enrich the conversation. <Quote> ...but I’ve seldom heard a usability expert end a discourse on human factors by acknowledging that graphical

I see your point. He is concerned with what kind of legacy he will leave. My post was intended to address just this, your chances for a Nobel price are bigger if you are actively working on curing cancer. Yet, winning a Nobel price is not a

I agree with the statement "Just because people choose to do X does not mean that X is good for those people." I am guilty of generalization, again. Nyan cat, Farmville, smoking are all examples where the benefit to society is very w

I voted it up, although I disagree. I believe the power of TechCrunch lies not in the amount of RSS subscribers, or Twitter followers, rather it is the most connected player. What I mean by this is they are arguably the biggest influencers
