It's Jakob Nielsen. While he can be a bit of a smartass sometimes and is not undisputed in the usability community, his books are definitely worth reading.

It might be possible to make a fully functional tablet with 4 GB worth of software, not 40 GB. What in the world do they put on that thing?

The real problem IMHO is not how high the charges are, but how the money is distributed back to content creators. Ask a German musician or writer how much they get back from the system. Often, the answer is "zilch".

Brazil and Singapore could also make a case that they've done a lot for Eduardo Saverin and that he owes them something. Should he pay taxes in all three countries?

German here. I believe this is because power is balanced on a level of low escalation. The threshold for firing a weapon is rather high for law enforcement and criminals know this. They also know that pulling a gun or even firing at an offi

I don't think it's possible to come up with universally valid selection criteria. Some projects are purely design-driven, the site just needs to look great (say, for a fuzzy image campaign), and that's simply the job that the client needs t

Maybe it's the image requests that just made the server fall over.

So true, and that makes it hard to have a discussion with them. Some people just don't want to get it. Additional information would only increase cognitive dissonance and will be fended off at all costs.

This is a real pain point, even when just browsing around YouTube from a country like Germany. Probably half of the videos with some mainstream tune in it are 'not available in your country'. Feels like being tricked. Dear YouTube, you know

To put things in perspective, think of the following typical situation: Website relaunch for a small company, total budget is $4000, cheapest quote you got for penetration testing is $300. Good luck selling that as a line item to a client w

The concepts outlined in the article remind me of Ubiquity (the Firefox addon), particulary its combination of the speed of a shell with the discoverability and ease-of-use of a GUI. For the few months that I used Ubiquity extensively, I fe

The 'Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory' is a hypothesis at best. One that has been refuted by empirical evidence of pro-social behavior under anonymity many times. For all practical purposes, it's not even a well-formulated hypothesis, and mo
