Not to be "I don't have that problem" guy, but if anything I was annoyed with how much stuff worked. Java and Flash both worked fine for me. I wonder if that's some kind of bug.

Apple has pretty much used the original Apple Human Interface Guidelines documents for toilet paper (there are three or four different title bar types in OS X), and Microsoft has even moved the IE6 malware warning dialogs around in a servi

Approach 1) A long time ago I worked (in a very small testing capacity) at a very large video/streaming media serving company. As I recall, the scripted procedure was to tag a release in CVS, and a script would pull that down into a new dir

The point behind repackaging, as mentioned in the article, is that you point it at different people. Perhaps an individual contributor reads something on the web, sees that their boss might enjoy or learn from it, and buys the PDF for the b

FWIW I tried those and they don't fit snugly in my ears unless I put them in backward, wherein I suspect they may have reduced effectiveness. They're probably good enough for lowering the noise floor in an office environment, though.

I think that a lot of people from other walks of life somehow end up working on HTML projects learn that in order to make their mouseover menus work they need something called JavaScript, so they search for cut and paste something that some

+1 for your own bread. My mother gave me a recipe for "food processor" bread, which involves about $0.25 worth of ingredients and a few minutes of work. It's not the right season at the moment, but you could also consider growing your own s

That fails rather dramatically (approximately .7x reality) on my machine. If it furthers the matter, I'm on a ThinkPad T60p (15" UXGA), XP, Google Chrome (verified in Opera as well) Pretty cool site, though. I was pleased that the several t

I didn't notice it until this article pointed it out. I think its usefulness is diminished by these things: 1) The color is too faint. 2) The scrollbar widget is standard. I think this is a good thing in general but as a user you expect it

This article is depressing. Particularly: Every single journalism class at NYU has required me to bring the bulky [New York Times] newspaper. This quote gives me visions of the Toy Story "Squeeze Toy Aliens", each with a newspaper in thei

I don't understand enough about the stock market to comprehend the possible unintended consequences, but trying to interfere in the free market can result in things like the 70s fuel crisis. I'm not sure where we are on the "people never le

I pity the marketers working the Microsoft account. There’s no way to win. If they go vague, they get people_ready. If they go edgy, they get panic and push back. Talk about a set of golden handcuffs. Pity indeed. They're in a tough spot

Compare and contrast this to Steve Jobs + Apple's handling of Steve's cancer scare a few years ago. Fascinating.

If the iBeer thing is what I think it is, it's an application that will find you the nearest store to purchase beer when you tap the glass with your finger. I don't see how that's some scathing critique of the devolution of society, moreso

Surprisingly, this is fairly hard to do with regular expressions. You really want to outsource this to someone else's library. But, if you must, here's the regex from one library: http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html Not exa

Notably, Moskowitz explained that Firefox -- which you would think would be designed to easily administrate with Group Policy -- cannot be controlled. The reason: "It uses JavaScript files," he says. "There's no Group Policy way, right now

They are nice looking charts. There's a weird label positioning issue (label text stays a fixed width from the left edge of the screen, not the left edge of the chart) with Google Chrome, but not with Windows Safari or Opera.

I'm not sure how the Linkedin leak is noteworthy. Preexisting information: 1) Apple uses ARM in the iPhone 2) Apple buys a company who makes ARM CPUs Would it not be negligent for Apple to not at least have a small team exploring this? Just

So, Firefox needs to add functionality that makes the surfing experience better for all users when more users use Firefox. Totally. I have a couple ideas. One is to improve the Javascript library so that richer and more responsive applica

Speaking for the US here: I have no idea what it's like elsewhere. If the first bits of legislation targeting "cloud computing" look more like CALEA than the fourth amendment, Sealand's business will explode, and it may well drive other nat

My completely science-free analysis (it seems to me) that the less force your fingers have to exert, the less strain you're putting on the internal body parts that actually make that happen. Most laptop keyboards require less force and have
