According to the authors of that terrible design, they spent two months on it. "Not once in the comments did I see an alternative suggestion." The onus isn't on us to spend two months coming up with an alternative suggestion, when we can cl

Why can't a design language have a name (not necessarily a trademark)? It can be used to differentiate it from what it's not. Programmers use names for everything, why can't a design have a name? Apple had the aqua visual style, that is no

Methinks Alkamie disguised a call of 'bullshit!' behind a sort of empty platitude such as "I find it interesting". >It's a US-centric graph The title is "Human cycles: History as science" A US-centric graph that represents the cycles of

I often leave work by saying 'cheers guys' or 'have a good evening guys' to a mixed gender group and then ponder in the elevator down if, perhaps, I've offended females with my casual nomenclature? I think it probably is slightly misogyni

Your bank account details don't reside in a published, yet controlled space on the internet? I know you're not trying to flog your effort (monetary savings in this case) on a pay-to-view basis, but why (beyond the impossibility of securing

"Login" is terrible (and you should feel bad for suggesting bad UX as though it was right). Users want to provide their identity credentials to access your site and verify who they are. They do that via an electronic signature which is thei

I totally agree the challenge can only be won by technology, but a manifesto is no bad thing.

Then I retract my half-hearted defense that perhaps Google is invested in Flash.

The only things I can think of are Flash in YouTube provides far more control over playback for things like downloading, ad delivery etc. But fundamentally... Street View. I can't see how that will be delivered with high performance by HTML

I've seen comments such as "How do you know someone doesn't use Facebook? Because they'll tell you". As if the primary reason you're expressing your dislike for the service in a discussion about it, is because you wish to proclaim smug supe

The thing I've always had in the back of my mind regarding Greece's current woes, is that, despite being the cradle of democracy, the parthenon, the diaspora etc... they're just a short boat trip away from Northern Africa. And beyond that,

It's interesting that you frame the next forty years as something you're mildly optimistic about and beyond that pessemistic (as do I). I wonder if our cognitive dissonance is involved (personally and societally) because we expect to live o

I'm not trolling, I've read Keurzweil's book... It's extrapolating. If I was a risk assesor, I'd err on the side of a mass extinction event over us consuming the entire universe as data.

You're right that it's oversimplified, but your alternative isn't better. Horizontal lines are lines of type, but vertical lines are container borders? Simply using 4 or 5 rather than 3 horizontal lines would be best. Also, FTA "Twitter Boo
