That's because the article seems to be really old (refers to safari 2 instead of 5, and there's no mention of chrome)

Hold on a minute, you think that asking for, let's say a public data retention policy is just a meme? For a big company, "we take our end-user data privacy incredibly seriously..." is generally the mandatory first sentence in a 30 pages doc

The real question is, how many designers would release the logo before the product has shipped? ^^

Hi. It's too late for that now, but next time you buy a drive, i suggest you look at the partitions table. Most hw companies now tend to include a tiny additional partition where the bloatware sits and waits (happens also on USB keys), so b

Maybe this is too small scale to be relevant, but i recently designed a site for a rockabilly clothes webstore, with a complete panel of tools: myspace (traditional friending, exchanging thankyous), facebook (fanpage & paying ads), goog

Yes, you are probably right. But then, it's just a feeling, and feelings can be pretty nonsensical sometimes. I've been an enthusiastic mac user for 20 years, now i'm surprised to realize I slowly grew to completely distrust and dislike app

Call me old fashioned, but I fail to see how implementing a corporate middleman between developers and users can be a progress... OK, from a developer's stand point, this could be really beneficial (distribution, centralization etc), but as

I'm sure google is not as "evil" as those recent bashing campaigns tend to insinuate, but the fact is, if google could publish clearer, more-defined data-privacy or data-retention policies instead of the vague assertions you can find in the

Non-existent, indeed, unless he also changed all the advanced metadata inside the pdf, and give them the same fake name: http://img.skitch.com/20101211-rwkgk3i7e5jq477ayyxudff883.jp...

i won't expand much, but it looks pretty simple to me: it may be illegal to publish 'Sentence A', but reporting that someone did it is not. - 'X is a liar and a thief' = illegal - 'X is a liar and a thief, says Y" = legal

The only thing is, he's not advocating the collectivization of FB (that would be stupid), but merely calling for new companies to enhance the user-generated-content model by sharing the wealth. Maybe the Diaspora people should look into thi

The point of view is rather extreme, but he's also touching something relevant at the end of the article, and may give some ideas. the term 'cognitive slavery' doesn't apply that much to google, i think. They may not create content or jobs,

Assuming you're not referring to yahoo Questions, there's a nice list here, maybe your site was included? Brainrack and InnoCentive seem to match your description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crowdsourcing_projects

On the other hand, why pay $5 when you can get 20 microturks do the same for 5x less (and give you 20 choices)?

aha! We've been waiting at least one full day before some mighty pundit starts claiming that Ping would be the future of this or that.. Next step: How Ping is about to kill this or that (this one is likely to come from Wired).

Sure (i just googled my favourite username, and found indeed some pretty old stuff that i'd rather keep forgotten). But listing all the appearances of your online persona is one thing, being able to search for your real-life name and retrie

The funny thing about all this is that since the beginning of the internet, no data privacy issues were ever raised, and that at some point (i may be wrong, but symbolically i would say it started when facebook became really huge) it became

wow, really nice! Now, you homepage claims 'have fun!', but where's the fun when you don't have access to the css or the page template, and can't start tweaking those immediately? :o)

Ideally, yes, i agree with you. But when the site's users are not necessarily computer litterate, a few hints can prove helpful (sometimes it is also a designers responsibility to take people gently where they have to go). And for some play

10 years ago, users could identify a link from underlined blue text or a highlighted blue border around pictures. We did so much visual progress since, and hover (especially in css) is good design and a good interface tool, in that it lets
