Internally, there's no such thing as the browser war. It's just something the media hypes up and something nerds argue about. Google used to contribute to Firefox before they went into their caves to give birth to Chrome, and the relationsh

Note this study was targeted towards clinically depressed people. Whether or not it relieves stress in non-depressed people is a different topic.

But you can't make that comparison! With a cup of Starbucks coffee, I know the extraordinary quality I'm getting. This walled social network is a life-or-death gamble.

Really, I prefer the discourse over the circle-jerking. It's sort of why I like HackerNews because people don't simply just all agree with each other and pat each other's back. If I want that kind of stuff, I'll just head on over to Reddit.

Well put, the article takes 'everything' a bit literally. Why strive to swim better than Michael Phelps? Just swim to swim and get better (forget trying to be the best in the world and just simply do it).

Bringing up Infinity Blade is a bit unfair. Native apps have had a long time to reach a healthy state. HTML5 is a bit of a new world. Sure, the iPhone used to run HTML webapps, which didn't work. But the web wasn't ready yet (back when Java

I love WP. I've bought three pairs from them. They have free try-on with free return shipping. And you get glasses anti-reflective, polycarbonate lenses for less than a frame alone if you bought them retail.

Google and Mozilla are not enemies. They are both allies towards an open web. Sure there's the media-hyped browser wars, but Mozilla is about freedom of choice on the web. They are a non-profit who uses Firefox as a playing card in order to

Norman has skill, Jon could've had skill, so there is no talent shortage. Is the article saying because a lot of people COULD'VE had skill that there is no talent shortage, and then pedantically renames it? It's clever, but talent shortage

Disable the navigation bar, and alt+d brings up a navigation window. No more using the mouse to click on a skinny rectangle, and you get some screen real-estate.

Elements aren't lining up and running into each other. Some icons are oversized and overall the page looks lot more cluttered. Adding even more colors doesn't help the fact. There's always going to be pushback when doing a UI revamp, and to

Seriously. It should be more of a metamorphosis from dung to butterfly, or perhaps an ascension to heaven.

I don't think he was against the idea itself, but against the oh-so-cliche "idea guys". A wearable heads-up display is not a new idea such that whoever thought of it would become rich. Heck, I wrote a mock-proposal about developing a heads-

Sure, Facebook and Wikipedia are built on PHP, and they serve to very many happy users. But are the developers very happy? PHP works, but for most cases, there are better solutions, and we should strive for better. Just because some sites w
