Same. Groups are the worst time sink. Also, I have ~1000 facebook "friends" but I only follow 25 or so close friends who don't post too much (except my sister who posts too much). I don't find Facebook a time sync. I als

Lol, I just stayed at the SF Grand Hyatt for 5 weeks and noticed lots of bad design in the hotel rooms. 1. a shallow basin on top of bathroom counter that encourages splashing water outside the sink 2. because its a basin on top of the coun

Having made several platform character games I knew this from having artists that didn't make a spherical character and having to try to deal with all the visual issues it causes. Would live to find artists that would consider their jo

Where does this option to hide my email address appear? Twice I've tried to use Apple Pay and Apple said they'd share my email address if I continued. There was no option to opt out.

I had this type of issue with a Macbook Pro. The rubber/plastic foot came off the bottom. Asked at the Genius Bar how much to replace it. It looks like a part that should cost $0.02 and expected an "Apple" markup of say $5. T

One thing I wish the text-to-speech people would prioritize is not destroying people's culture by pronouncing words incorrectly. The problem is that these text-to-speech systems are spreading the wrong pronunciations far and wide. Ever

taxis could never compete with Uber and Lyft because they as actually own the cabs. Uber and Lyft can respond to surges. Taxis can't. they'd lose money owning enough vehicles to support surge times and have them idle during non su

You shouldn't need those signs. Instead of solving the crime problem the city is basically saying "don't use this area so we don't have to police it" Imagine a sign that said "don't go to this beach withou
