Sorry, but do you really think Vista's slow uptake is caused by actual bad user experience? It's not. It's because every techie will adamantly proclaim that Vista sucks, even though they might have never even tried it. As far as I'm concern

Building an online exchange for technical personnel (plumbers, technicians etc.) with a designer who nested tables so deep that when I turned on auto-indent all lines went blank. I bet the poor guy we made it for never earned a penny from i

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Mostly because it attacks me personally though ;) I must admit that I just can't help but enjoy the sensation that rushes through my body when one of my co-workers enthusiastically extols the virtues of a ne
