Sure, that might be good advice, but such absolutism isn't viable as a workplace system. Research into propinquity ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propinquity ) tells us that romantic relationships are actually quite likely in the workplace.

We just need more multi-modal offices. Sometimes you need singular, uninterrupted, quiet spaces and then sometimes you need the constant collaboration of the bullpen space. Leaders need to define the values of the organization and intention

Interesting...the folders and files are now different colors for me. Different than when I first left this comment. Still not high enough contrast IMO, but a step in the right direction.

The file view icons seem way too washed out. I'd like more visual contrast so that I can see what is a folder and what is a file. Not all of us have 20 something eyeballs duders.

Very nice and clean, but, and I know I'll get boo'ed down for this, it's always a bit tiresome to see gender norms reinforced in slogans like, "--not-your-daddys-version-control."

Would be so cool if they could contribute to existing initiatives such as http://www.discogs.com/ with links to the specialized Peel collection interface. Let's hope there's an API.

The tabs need more visual weight. I was unimpressed at first until I noticed that I could dig into the meaty information at county and state level.

I regularly need to get "directions" to places I commonly visit, because I use the map app to give me bus times. I suspect folks who drive, might do this allot with traffic information.
