Maybe I'm just going at all the wrong times, but any Taito Station pretty much hovers between 1-10% capacity (maybe 20% on weekends). I think they could certainly benefit from cheaper games, if only to give the kids on the way back from sch

I'm sure someone will be along to correct me quick enough if I'm wrong, but last year when I was upgrading to Lion I had the same issue (journaling turned off) and was able to turn it back on with minimal pain by doing it from the Snow Leop

I'm just one data point of course but after the switch I actually type much faster in qwerty as well. No looking, somehow when I need to I just switch without thinking. It's especially helpful when running a VM or when the bootscreen is tie

Starbucks cards are great. My JP card only gives me ANA miles (1/dollar spent, so pretty much nothing) but in NYC... there's one everywhere, so I'll get my tea to walk, get to the next store and get a croissant to eat in the park, then cont

However much like NHK here in Japan, it wouldn't be at all surprising if many people simply snubbed the collections guy because they don't own a TV, don't watch BBC, or just don't want to pay.

Unfortunately I think it'll take until MacBooks and iPads are literally as thin as paper (edit: hyperbole) before Japan becomes truly wifi friendly... 'til then, I'll appreciate my current MacBook and not having to carry around that dongle

How have I never noticed... there was a sale at IKEA last year or something and I picked up a bunch of those. They're the perfect size for my turntable on top and records underneath– but as a rackmount, damn! I knew those things were good f

10 to 20 years from now people will wonder just how in the hell programmers' knees aged so quickly, until realizing that half the people standing in attempt to get healthier were simply locking their knees, weighting from side to side throu

That seems to be one of the major laments in Thinking, Fast and Slow (Kahneman). Us humans, even when we're 'ready for it', tend to be remarkably inflexible in adopting concepts which conflict with our basic or social intuitions...

Still, we should anticipate some delay before decay. Otherwise it could cause cold feet, leading to a pretty strong backlash.

Those rag icons, while common, are just oversimplified. It's good enough for word processing, but ideally your set would be something more like: |≡| (justify full) While it could still be a list, it associates much better with alignment.

I don't mean to say that it's an easy task to turn over all the content, but places like TPB have muscles to flex and as far as I can see, if they did it then others would follow. It wouldn't surprise me at all if uTorrent or other clients

On the run so I can't reply to the rest, but the film is very good. I don't fully agree with the author's take, but it's one of the better films to watch if you're struggling to hold on to some passion...

But FAA security wouldn't exactly fix any of the problems in your scenario, except as far as they are consolidated and perhaps more accountable to their employers...

I hate Pearson products with a passion (save for a few imprints and assorted acquisitions). This is a great step though for both companies, so hopefully it works out for both. Pearson's online components has included some of the worst sof

Almost exactly what I came here to say. As long as Tim and Jon have a good relationship (or at worst, big decisions that aren't plainly suicidal defer to the design team) they'll be in good shape.

This a hundred times. I just set up my parents with a Hulu account so that my dad could devour what little of the criterion collection he hasn't already seen at least twice. If Netflix could find a way to offer all these, with commentary or

Probably a bit of both. It was only after observing my cousin's son for a bit and hearing about what he liked that people began to remind me how tenacious I was, and really many others in the family. I'm pretty convinced that if I had only

CAD is definitely one area where UX is so far behind it's pretty much useless. The command line is the fastest and only useful way to be productive. Rather than spend all their time coming up with icons for each little dot it sure would be

In that case it seems you've made a great case for why programmers make terrible interfaces and why UX is so important for everyone else. While models can certainly be adapted and evolve (as say iOS vs. a command line), I find it silly to t
