Are you being serious? Public health care. Free state education (which is generally of a good standard, but a waste if you are not self-motivated). Council-provided housing, though supply is short due to failing to replenish the housing sto

But there is no reason why it should look so ugly in 2011. Linux and OS X have much nicer versions of DOS, although I don't know why they removed the 'dir' command... </s>

If the patent explicitly mentions its use in a touch screen phone (as opposed to simply highlighting it and adding it to a menu option, like dumbphones did before the iPhone) then this is a fine example of why US patent law needs reform.

It's bad UI if the developer programs bad UI. The back button returns you to the previous activity by default, you can override it but you should have a good reason. If I downloaded shovelware from the app store and a button labeled 'Play G

Okay, so here's a simple example. You can buy a sack of rice anywhere for $2. If you sell the same kind of rice for $200, do you think you'll sell any sacks? You'd go out of business, and deservedly so, right? The interesting thing in Netfl
