I'm a big fan of clarity and non-ambiguous statements. If using a serial comma is what it takes to maintain that clarity, then so it shall be.

Just because there are a lot of ideas doesn't mean that they are all on the same level. There is such a thing as a good idea.

Ctrl + K gets you into search mode only. I find it annoying sometimes when what I'm searching is similar to a URL in my history, so it's useful to specify it's a search with a "?" before a query.

by rradu 15y ago
The URL bar serves as the search bar as well, and for most people that's their primary mode of navigation. Even if they don't really care about URLs, I don't see anyone wanting to add another step every time they do a search.

It might make sense for Amazon, but as a consumer I don't find it a compelling discount.

by rradu 16y ago
$25 just isn't enough of a discount for something that was already pretty well-priced. I don't mind ad-supported sites / apps especially if it means I don't have to pay for them, but to put ads on an entire device that I own -- that's a n

Depends on the quality of traffic. I have a high volume image site that gets about 20 million page views a month on which I earn about $1500. Users usually don't spend more than 5-6 seconds on each page, so each ad impression has a very sma

I had that for FF 3, but now that the tabs are on top it just feels a lot more like Chrome where I'm used to having it on each tab, so I've moved them back on the tabs. Btw, the relevant option in about:config is "browser.tabs.closeButtons"

The discussion of whether you should upgrade from iPad 1 to 2 just seems absurd to me. It's the epitome of a first world problem. I like my gadgets just as much as the next guy, but buying things you already have simply because they're sli

Just a couple of design things: Black text on that blue background doesn't provide enough contrast for what's supposed to be your main headline. Also, I've come to expect buttons to have hover states, and yours don't. As for the product its

The bars span the full width of my screen, which makes them hard to read. There's very little text, and I have to interact with each option to see details about a flight, which I find annoying if I just want to scroll through. Also, the scr

I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but I really don't find Hipmunk any easier to use than the traditional flight booking service. In fact, quite the opposite--I find the splash of colors and symbols across my screen confusing. Attempting to

These look a lot better than when Google first came out with the font API. The selection is pretty good now, and seems like a great free alternative to Typekit.

"Google doesn't know how to have fun" Has anyone ever actually said this? Between the logo doodles, April fools jokes, and bright colors, Google is one of the funnest companies around.

Tesla was nowhere near profitability when they went public. Pandora just has to wait a few more quarters before getting access to a natural flow of cash. That's what I found strange.

by rradu 16y ago
Still seems weird seeing a company that's not even profitable yet go public. I don't expect the initial demand for their stock will be that high, despite the growth.

Not just GoDaddy--I've had similar experiences with half a dozen other shared hosting companies. GoDaddy is one of the few that actually has free phone support, which is a lot nicer than an automated email and a response 48 hours later.
