Google is so bad at everything; and not good at anything. They are a virtual black hole of suck. I say that even though I own stock and reluctantly use their products even though I am pretty much just a single decent reason away from moving

Bingo. This has been a general trend across all measures; as productivity and technology have made things more efficient and profitable, corporations and their government patsies have had no interest other than lining executive and investor

As much as I like the idea of BTC, it lacks fundamental structural features that would allow it to not eventually be revealed as a sham.

Let us keep in mind that as we boot up our own cyber sabres to rattle at China, et al., the USA and Israel are extensively attacking and, essentially, invading sovereign nations and breaching the international peace. I don't like corrupt, o

Jarring? Really? Anyways. I think what you're missing is that the flat design principles relying on crafty use of shading and visual hierarchy to structure elements. What I do like about the flat style is that it removes all the visual nois

Especially since if you hit "Forgot Password" you are sent an email with a big "Reset Password" button in it. A bit of poor wording.

Because they have to tell the truth or be called out with data? Not sure I follow, unless you are talking about auto industry shills.

Actually, I think it is quite appropriate for the situation. It's a tool for immediate, tactical damage control. Long, arduous responses to accusations take just a long as the, in this case, article that made the accusation. For argument's

Is there an official, recognized standard that this is based on? My understanding is that anything you deem as you signature, i.e., any type of symbol, is, by effect, your signature. I appreciate HelloSign's efforts, but it seems this is si

Dell was too focused on being dependent on Windows volume to focus on quality design and build. It's kind of a sad story, and Michael Dell seems to have been AWOL the last 8 or so years. I just don't know what private equity can do other th

Ouch, Ross, you're getting a well deserved flogging. In case your apology was just a step in the direction of understanding that you are probably kind of an ass, I think you owe it to yourself to make more steps in that direction and then c

Andreessen is gone. The transformation is complete. He has lost all legitimacy beyond being a fat cat that manipulates markets by sheer power of money and influence in the inefficient way that monopolists do.

Granted, but, seriously, Apple has never even feigned search-fu and MS/Bing has a better chance of making search even a competition. On a side note, and this might titillate you; I am seeing serious cracks in Google's search skills as their

I'll admit it, I am one of the 4-star raters. I took it down a notch for not at least including a "zoom out" button. I can double-tap to zoom, but I sure as hell can't pinch to zoom out. I think that UI flaw is one of the most ignored in al
