I thought it was an impressive enough usability coup for 2 year olds to be able to use the ipad instinctively but this is just fantastic. Apple should sponsor the hell out of this.

What a extraordinary lack of self awareness you're displaying. You're saddened by his reply to your 'olive branch' (and frankly I don't think you know what an olive branch is supposed to look like either) but you're apparently still unable

Frankly I think it reads more like a textbook non-apology apology but that didn't fit in the title. Condescending tone, responsibility deflected and zero remorse displayed.

If by 'inspired' you mean 'ripped off'. No idea which one came first but the javascript and html structure for both pages is pretty much identical in the places that count.

No I have no wish whatsoever to 'rent' urls. Anything that makes urls more impermanent than they already are is, in my opinion, a very bad thing .

Seriously. How do you write an article referencing one of the most iconic, symbolic and emotive engineering creations of the 20th century and slap an image so glaringly incorrect onto it?

It might be a little unfair of me but I personally really, really disappointed at the way a web giant with serious engineering chops like Google has dealt with the issue of accessibility. I take an admittedly purist view and say that we as

I have pretty strong negative reaction to this push for more and more sites to demand a real name for signup and I'm not sure if it's a product of my internet usage history or if I actually have a valid gripe. I think it's fundamentally imp

Becuase its the software developers' turn. Strangely enough, it happened in hospitality just before I left that industry, the term 'Rock star chef' was being used a lot to describe the new wave of chefs who were more interested in getting t

I wish someone smarter than myself could explain to me why I find articles written in this style (or tone of voice or rythmn or whatever the correct term is) so nauseating and irritating?
