I've used ImageMagick and it works great. Though I think many average developers who don't tinker with servers would have a harder time picking it up.

This is pretty interesting, but perhaps the new question would be at what point does the thickness of a liquid slow down a swimmer. For example, there's no way a person could swim equally fast through water vs mud. Perhaps the thickness of

Ideally, a user should not have to hover over something to know whether it is clickable. It is a designer's responsibility to make sure that a user can scan the page and know exactly what parts are clickable, so the user can quickly perfor

The end of hover will simply transfer to "onmousedown", which can be used for the same purpose of revealing a submenu. Simply pressing down and holding for a half second could reveal a menu. And instead of a dropdown, I see the popularity o

Perhaps the service could build in some kind of opt-out option? It could either be at the point of making the appointment, or after receiving the first reminder.

This is nothing new, but they appear to have packaged the offering to an audience not served by their competitors, though the quote about it being appealling to car geeks is suspect to me. Assuming they are having successful sales, this cou

He mentions the importance of the post-live experience, as well as, of course, the actual live broadcast, but he fails to mention whatsoever the importance of the pre-live experience. The build-up, the marketing, the getting-the-message-out

As I mentioned in my other comment, I give a thumbs up to Movable Type, particularly in regards to security. The only database access is done on the admin side. When you publish anything, it generates pure html pages. So only you access the

I've been using Movable Type for years, the differentiating factor being that it generates html pages. No worries about database load. No worries about database hacking, the only access to the data or files being through the admin login. Th

Agreed. A kid can play with a roly-poly he found on the ground and that's a game. Anyway, not sure why this discussion needs to be whether we consider this a "serious" game or not. I think it's a fantastic idea, and its execution will deter

Agreed. It took me no more than a minute after installing to realize there was no use for this. I'm not buying into 3D interfaces represented on a 2D screen. I don't believe 3D interfaces will succeed until they can be holographically proje

Do you want to go through life scared of everything, hiding in a hole, or do you want to be out there, prone to danger, but in the mix of daily life? This is just a classic balance between security and openness. The more secure you try to m

True. Good point. I suppose my main disappointment is in the fact that he has generally had a good track record of distilling complicated things down to common sense "no-duhs". But he's failed at this in this case, to me at least.

This actually saddens me on Jon Stewart's part. I'm a huge fan of his with his ability to report the more truthful side of politics. This lessens his credibility to me since his facts are misrepresented or missing. He completely ignores the

Yes, in Chrome, just hit Command-Shift-F for full-screen. It's awesome! Btw, this PlainView app appears to be 2 years old. How is this getting upvoted?

Hooray for competition! This can only spur Google a bit to improve Google Doc's feature set. Why does the author think one service must live and one service must die? There's always room for choice when services offer advantages over each o

Taking this one step further, the iPad could recognize how you are holding it, whether it's one hand, two hands, on the side or from the bottom, and the keyboard would auto-adjust on the fly to accommodate. The animation/motion would be the

Perhaps it is each airlines particular systems or operations that requires the torn tickets. Virgin America's tickets don't come with any part to tear. At boarding, they scan it in and hand it back to you. That would work for a wallet size

One advantage the original design has is its low cost of ink. Just look at SquareSpace's redesigns and those huge blocks of black, red, and blue. Just trying to eye it, I would estimate anywhere from an 800% to 1000% increase in ink. Multip

This seems like it would be a dangerous move on Yahoo's part, aside from the acquisition of talent. This is only my gut feeling, but I don't see users being so vested in the FourSquare service, that if they're unhappy with the direction it

Point is that users will more often ignore opt-outs than not, regardless whether it is beneficial to them or not. As a UI practice, it's up to the form's creator how to manipulate this behavior.

How do we know that these shoppers did not, in fact, knowingly submit their souls to this company? Like, hey, why not? No biggie. In all honesty, this just illustrates a very common UI practice that opt-outs are more effective than opt-ins.

I will though acknolwedge sympathy to the engineers for having such a seemingly impossible task laid upon them.

Guys please explain to me why so many of you are coming to the defense of the engineering effort? Perhaps it's different in this case, but most companies, particularly ones funded with 33 million dollars, make decisions based on business an

Just from my rudimentary math skills, I'm not sure the pay-per-achievement assignment would work. As an example, let's say I have 10,000 active users per month, and from their activity, they achieve 10 things per month. At one penny per, I

This is a major problem. Without even being able to read the article titles, there is literally nothing you can scan to decide where you want to look, what you want to click, or even just what you want to zoom in on. I can make out the Sher

Maybe I'm overly accustomed to the "feel" of Apple's native apps, since there's just something about the app that just doesn't "feel" good to use. The zooming-in and out is a big downside, as I often tweak in or out from what Safari gives m

Is this supposed to be a shocker? My submitted prediction is still 66 days out, even though I think an answer of never is still very likely. Though I'm just betting on Opera cutting features to get an approved app.
