Could not agree more. I've driven a Zipcar probably about three times a month for the last three years and they've been great. One time the garage where the car was supposed to park wouldn't open (I was returning it). I called them, they sa

The logos were so similar that when I opened them in tabs, I began to question whether the original post was a joke. I'm still not really sure what's going on.

Serious question: given that you purchased a case and then dropped the phone in the case, how can you possible claim to know whether the case saved it? All you know is that you dropped your phone with a case on and it didn't break. I see th

I can just picture the anti-skeuomorphism crowd having a meltdown over Apple's "iRadio" app that they'd inevitably release. It would probably look like an old-timey stand-up radio.

Just curious, are you actually a data security professional? Because while you have a very nice metaphor with the whole bank vault thing, you haven't offered any actual examples, or any specific criticisms of Blizzard's setup (not that we k

They could, but a) that's a pain in the ass, they'd have to build all the content out from scratch and b) they'd lose a ton of their Likes in the transition.

I don't disagree, but for some reason nobody seems to be writing that article, they're just writing about the city of San Francisco and hoping it feels important.

He qualified it when he wrote the piece, calling it "sort of a 'wolf in sheep’s clothing'" in the actual article, then took off the "sort of" when he made the title. For that reason, I think it's probably sensationalist link bait. That's no

You might be right. As much as telling this guy to fuck off would have felt great, though, it also felt wrong to us to inject our opinions into it. But, well, I could probably be convinced by your perspective, too -- which is why I wrote th
