Indeed, but sadly they'd rather pay me more than fix their browsers!

For me, more than visual cruft (although I would argue there is more of that than before) - it's interaction cruft. Big annoyances for me: 1. Auto suggesting and searching for words I didn't mean - common with technical phrases 2. Ignor

The OP raises a wider point: For the longest time google made good on their promise to keep their search page simple and easy to use. Now, bit by bit the search page is getting more filled up with cruft that you don't need and stuff t

Working in B2B in the UK, many companies (especially financial services and government) are still heavily entrenched in IE6. While my default position is to build for modern browsers, these kind of clients will insist on IE6 support, and ho

Speculation on the delay or otherwise of a future iPhone model is one thing, but claiming Apple are scared of Samsung's Galaxy is just laughable. Apple, love or loathe them, created a complete vertically-integrated product stack precisely s

But the UK's been awake all day (it's 3:12pm) - so very surprising that it's only generated 180k visits. Maybe most people simply don't click the Google Doodle? Seems strange.

For a lot of my 'non-geek' friends, the years of photos, connections, groups, etc makes the cost of switching too high. For many, the idea of getting their photos out of Facebook is simply too daunting to consider. They're happy to mainta

Yes - true. I'll reconsider for the next post.

Interesting - do you have a link / app name?

And here I was using this... http://lanyrd.com/places/england/ It can't hurt to have more places to find UK-based events though. Request: add a search.
