A good reminder for those of us who practically live on the internet. edit: But I think OP is also concerned about the liability created for ones giving the advice, not just welfare of the ones receiving it. A guideline would help keep thes

The question you need to ask yourself is, "Does my design add value?" The top comment already sums it up perfectly - Design is not about making things pretty or looking nice. Design is about function, design is about value. I won't deny tha

Call me crazy, but I prefer it when companies do this. If I'm interested in using their service, then I'd be happy to be alerted when my friends sign up for it. That being said, I wholeheartedly agree it should be opt-in (or at least have a

Is it just me, or is the title an allusion to the Biblical name 'Methusaleh' (meaning, when he dies, the flood comes)

It really depends. You can be forceful in getting your work done. You can be hostile towards procrastination. You can be attacking big problems. Ultimately, its just a characterization of behavior. I think context and where that attitude ar

False dichotomy, much?

Lots of hyperbole and even more subjectivity. If you're going to make the claim that 2012 and onwards is going to be MSFTs, at least cite some numbers, don't just gush your love and enthusiasm for their products.

I'm sure trying to decide which snarky remark best conveys your condescending attitude towards a company's attempt to maintain its integrity and good standing is such a terrible dilemma.

These interfaces have millions and millions of users, many of which are by no means experts with a computer, and may even only use it sparingly. The design has to be universal, and these cues make the interface that much easier to use acros

Politicians live in the public eye, in a way different from celebrities (be they pop stars or CEOs). They are, in a sense, obligated to grant interviews and be open to the hard questions, because a politician is selling him or her SELF. A p

A bit of a premature judgment wouldn't you say..? Sensationalist media at its best.

Nice idea... but I don't like how it implies that I'm wired on social media and notifications. Seems almost patronizing and condescending. Yes, I check my email and facebook often. Yes, I do have a smartphone that gives me push notification

i wouldnt claim that apple's UI is hyper realistic, but there are parts of its design which are intended to be realistic. sometimes good, sometime bad. a few examples: http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.a... http:

that seems reasonable to me. if something gets to the top spot on HN, I'd think its worth a try. some other random app? much different story.

one, that's absolutely ridiculous, if you match up all the improvements to both hardware and software between the N1 and the NP. being unimpressed makes you sound like a whiny bitch. two, according to GigaOM, there is a LED notification: h

True, but I guess I'm starting to feel that girls are no longer "disadvantaged." Less interested, maybe, disadvantaged, not so much. EDIT: for context, I'm a child of the 90's, perhaps much different (or not) from some of you. I grew up in
