The apps have to run on ubuntu. It would be silly to describe it as "A linux apps contest where the apps have to work on Ubuntu" instead of "An Ubuntu apps contest"

While semantically this makes sense, and aesthetically it's preferable to some, I would guess that it really doesn't align with actual human behavior. Theory: When you want someone to do something, they will do it more often if you tell the

Winamp 3, as an application, got it all right. Software developers even today struggle to get applications to be so usable. Dead simple interface Super fast start up Super fast search Easy playlist creation and management Simple

Wow, the whole point of bitcoin is freedom. You're essentially arguing that this freedom is cool and all, but we'd all be better off if with less of it.

Haha, I see what you did there. You confused UI with Usability. Craigslist is incredibly usable. Have you taken a look at Ebay lately? Does it look familiar? That's cos it hasn't significantly changed in 10 years. Is that because they don't

How is this front page? It's barely informative and not completely correct at parts.

You forgot about daylight savings. If the day is one on which we either spring forward or fall back and the time the clock reads somewhere in the shift hour, then the clock will be right either 1 or 3 times that day. And it's different in d

Probably has to do with servers being locked up pretty tight and desktop linux not having a large enough market share.

The most compelling aspect of that, if you ask me, is the battery. You're completely in the hands of apple when it comes to replacing it. If they decide in 4 years that your computers battery is now $400 then you have no choice. You can't b

The problem isn't just for tinkerers who want to upgrade. It's also about repairs and recycling. We're voting with our wallets for hardware that can't be easily or cheaply repaired and is impossible to be recycled.

Saying facebook has 900 million users is like saying no one on earth ever dies. If we required 30% of every one who ever live to vote, we'd never get anything done.

Seems like a lot of people here are complaining about the system without giving much thought to it's actual effects. There are a metric shit-tonne of cabs in NYC. We don't need more. Maybe we need regulation on how they have to be spread ou
