Disagree. Hover effects should generally be avoided, as there's no hover state in a touch-based UI. Some people suggest using select elements instead of checkboxes and two-option radios. Forget the source, but at least one study concluded t

That was borderline incoherent. Terribly written. Looked for a better account of his talk but couldn't find one.

No doubt; I'm just surprised that something this common made the front page, even if putting "instant" in front of things is all the rage.

Why is this noteworthy? $('textarea#markup').keyup(function(){ $('div#preview').html( $(this).val() ); });

It very well may. I point it out because it seems to be becoming a default, just as Helvetica has.

How could you make a list like that and omit HFJ's Gotham in favor of FF Dax or Myriad? Many of these are roughly equivalent. Terrible list. A few seconds of searching turns up an infinitely more interesting piece from Smashing Magazine: h

Agree wholeheartedly. I've said for a while now that being late is making the statement that you don't value the other party's time.

Your last paragraph is exactly what the DC superintendent proposed. The teachers' unions were so threatened that they didn't even allow it to come to a vote.

Just saw this last night in SF courtesy of the Commonwealth Club. Highly recommended. You're shown that getting results is straightforward: get rid of poor teachers and reward good ones. One stat that was particularly interesting, from a St

Stop writing posts warning against use of these terms. You're too late. The tide turned long ago, and the ones who were there already made the announcement.

Drug Wars was my introduction to programming (probably not a good sign). I started tinkering around with values and ended up making a notecard retrieval system that also simulated the OS clear programs function so my friends and I could che

Could they not have gotten a better domain? Also, the Bad Religion song lyrics are beating them in search results. Great concept, good execution.

Will you have to adhere to the same kind of restrictions Pandora does (limited # of skips/hr, etc.)? If you're going to have a heart icon, you might as well make pause and next icons too. Or use a word instead of the heart. Too many differe

I signed up because: - I live in my car and want to provide a place to stay for visitors. - This is all I need when traveling. My interpretation of this is a work-focused AirBNB.

I successfully ported a number to Callcentric before GrandCentral became GV. After GC -> GV, the number magically returned to GV, which is fine by me with the improved feature set.

My next question would be: will AT&T's 4G service be capped? Sprint's current offering includes a 5GB 3G cap and no limit on 4G access.

Lightweight living, a minimalist lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it represents maximum freedom for some people. If you come across adventure or you decide you want to move, you can do whatever you want at the drop of a hat. I'd say

The takeaway from the email study is not that ugliness converts. Versions A and C have other navigation/messaging in the spotlight. Version B has the fewest distractions. Poor illustration of the point, if you ask me. This is like assuming

Awesome to read a detailed account of instant-on insight and tough questions from two giants. Steve's intolerance of business as usual is particularly inspiring.

For those who've read The China Study , note that this is about increasing consumption of vegetables, not decreasing consumption of anything else (including animal protein).
