German pizza chain Joey's used to do that, and I always found it to be a mediocre user experience. If you pay online, you know if your payment cleared right away. With these GPRS card readers, you wouldn't know until the driver ha

Semi-related: My biggest UX gripe with iOS is that the option to hide a picture in the Photos app is part of the share menu. Those are such diametrically opposed interactions, I really don't understand the thought process that went int

Had this issue with Google a few years ago when I tried to set my password to something ludicrously long (think 5000+ characters). It would happily change my password, but I couldn't log in to anything afterwards…

After reading the German court document linked in the CNN article (not a lawyer), it appears charging customers extra for not taking a leg of their flight is actually legal in the eyes of the court. They also cite a decision of the highest
