Surprised no one's mentioned the goggles search. I was pretty blown away to maximize an application on my desktop, snap a picture and have it recognize it (down to the version number, for Outlook 2010)

Id have to quote the entire post to give you an example. I just found it to be overly smug and condescending, especially regarding Microsoft store employees (attempting to "trap" one of them with the soundcard question? Nerd arrogance at

The entire tone of his post from the outset seemed like he really had an axe to grind. It was like reading an article Fox News would publish about an Obama rally.

It'd be a HELL of a lot cheaper and a MUCH faster transfer rate to mail a few really large capacity hard drives full of the data instead of hosting it on S3. edit: Just saw dalke's response. Great minds think alike!

No, but there are plenty of developers willing to build applications and then sell them for a dollar on the app store (or free even.)

For an excellent reference implementation of how a Metro style application should look, check out Microsoft's Azure site: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/ Borrowing some of the css transitions, color scheme and typography from there wo

The sheer volume of the output from you guys is astounding. Thanks for the hard work and for incorporating our feedback on a near constant basis!

I'm still having a difficult time understanding why any user who has figured out how to hit the window key and start typing an application name would find browsing across oversized tiles to be a more efficient application launching experien

Well, for one; the site is basically an engine for rendering out <table><tr><td><a> ..., without much in the way of complex and frequent client-side requests. (this isn't to downplay the challenges faced by s

Design impaired developer here; i'm interested to know how you picked green as being a trigger for more conversions, is there some data with A/B testing this color choice comes from?

Well played. Definitely a move to boost traffic to hipmob rather than a legitimate open letter to Tony, but I like the creative thinking behind the campaign.

This is so ill, I love everything about the presentation. I'm partially glad you don't have NFL stats, otherwise my work productivity would plummet.

It's pretty annoying. Anything Apple does is "revolutionary" and "magical". Anything Microsoft does is seen as being bound to fail. Apple has definitely won the media messaging war.

The whole concept of "flip flopping" being a bad thing is something from the political arena that spilled out into a broader social context. There's absolutely nothing wrong with changing your mind as your understanding evolves.

Ubuntu doesn't have the market share to justify vendors allocating resources to develop drivers for it. Not sure how that puts the vendor at "fault", it's just simple economics.

Looks good; it'd be great to have a SQL generation feature which will allow you to generate scripts from the design surface.

I feel like a lot of people here are missing the point of the article: mainly the fact that the author is commenting on the UX of the Pay with Stripe button (compared to more complicated payment workflows) and not its tasteful use of backgr

Wouldn't it be fair to assume that there's a great deal of overlap between the two groups?

Wow. This sounds exactly like a complaint that would be lobbed against SharePoint (rightfully so, it's a special kind of hellish nightmare for people responsible for developing on it.)

I'm sure it's all fun and enjoyment while you're writing the code; but what about going back 2-3 months later, or worse, hiring additional developers on the project? How enjoyable is it to have reams of inline server script across multip
