I'm sorry but it has to be asked; why "recipe puppy"? It's completely nonsensical. It eats anything you give it? It sniffs out things? I just can't see much of a connection..

My beef is more so with Apple's DRM chips installed in their accessories now which has negated all my previously bought Apple and non-Apple accessories, forcing me to purchase new, Apple authorised accessories all over again. One could defe

Umm excuse me? Apple hardware, sofware and especially the iPhone are outrageously closed and anti-competitive. Apple has already begun chipping their own accessories such that third party ones are no longer allowed. None of my iPod accessor

Sidenote: As an Australian, I love the state of California simply because the federal government will pass one law, and California will say, "that's stupid" and do it their own way. It's like Texas without the backwardness.

Excuse us non-technical foreign people, but this says that wearing tin foil hats actually amplifies radio signals instead of blocking them? And paranoid people wear them under the false impression it will block government radio signals?

Not enough people in the business world are using widescreen monitors or even "decent" resolutions. Executives and business types actually choose to use 1024x768 or sometimes smaller just so the text is bigger and easier to read. Shell has

But that's where you're wrong, there are quite a few global brands that have been around for much more than 100 years. Heinz, Levis, Wines, Champagnes, Newspapers, Banks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies

I don't think anyone took the original graphic too seriously, it obviously omitted a lot of things, but was always in jest. All that aside, Coca-Cola has the most synergy throughout their logos. That's 100 or so years of roughly the same lo

The icon set "Fugue" is my favourite. It has over 2000 icons and can easily be edited, layered etc. I have built an entire web application around them. But yes, I agree.

I hate to complain, but I am so tired of these articles that just repost all the same old icon sets that have been out for years (or years in the digital sense). Every month a new one of these posts comes out, but with the same icon sets as

To the people saying they don't see the value or market in an Apple tablet, Apple may simply be hoping for a greater acceptance rate among Windows users. The iPhone has been a great product for breaking down barriers between Windows users a

A "HN Labs" style concept would be amazing. I know it probably goes against the HN mentality, but a gmail style label system would be so useful. "Javascript", "Press", "Databasing" etc.

An important example is when Microsoft launches the web suite for Office 2010 and it potentially runs slowly in older IE versions. What will also be interesting is how far their backwards compatability travels. Will Microsoft signal the dea

AjaxTrans seems a bit clunky as a name, even though this is essentially what it does. I have some spare time tonight and am keen on some design/UI practice, if you're interested?
