Ken Rockwell is the king troll of photography. The most optimistic estimates of 35mm film detail come to around 16 megapixel -- but that's if you're willing to use 50 ISO film. Jump to 100 ISO film and that drops down to an embarrassing 7 m

Anyone who manipulates tabs with anything other than a middle-click is missing out on a wealth of delicious UI consistency. A middle-click on a tab closes it, and you can aim for any part of the tab (Fitts' Law approved). Arguing about how

It is probably a consequence of the favourable exchange rate. An app that sells for US$10 costs AU$13 here. Right now they get close to US$13 for each app sold in Australia, but they still pay the developer a cut of US$7. That's a profit ma

My website (whirlpool.net.au) sees IE6 account for 2.3% of traffic on weekdays and 0.9% on weekends. Combining all versions of internet explorer together, the figures are 28% and 23%, respectively. The only browser with a greater-than-expec

That's all fine as long as you don't make the leap from "my imaginary friend is useful" to "my imaginary friend is real". I would however assert an unnecessary semantic overloading -- why use a word (God) that has so many assumptions built

Your description of agnosticism is also wrong; you described apatheism. Agnostic: Unsure. Apatheist: Doesn't care. Atheist: Rejects theism.

It's not AT&T's fault though, it's Apple's for allowing an exclusivity deal. If you did a wholesale move of every US iPhone owner to Verizon or Sprint, their networks would be similarly suckified. Here in Australia the iPhone is unlocke
