This is one of the most grounded and realistic responses at the moment, and I would like to add a bit from my experiences with anxiety and depression. While my symptoms weren't as severe when I went to see a psychiatrist he stated futu

There are some interesting hurdles, and you've done a great job of thinking of a few of them! I can see three likely async solutions: SMS style message based (explicitly not real time), real-time message based, or real-time chat. SMS S

That's absolutely valid, CR exists because customers don't know what to do next. That said, there's a lot that could be done to mitigate that. - High phone support visibility on how-to pages: Don't link to chat if it

I'm not sure how this is necessarily much different than phone communication with the notable caveat that text is quicker to parse. It's already inadvisable to give that information over the phone as a landline can be tapped and t

I can see there being a happy medium here as no all support requests are task oriented. Either a) asynchronous support for support inquiries like "When will product x be in stock?" or "What does policy y mean to me?" whe

A touch interface, for one. Emulates are find and all but I find their inaccuracy frustrating more often than not. Further, it's not just a 20 year old game on an emulator. Somebody has to port it, make graphics (for what they are wort

I felt the same about the thumbnails. Then I checked out the new articles and could easily pick out the spam (Indian Party Wear Sarees in this case). I don't think it's so useful for the top articles since most are primarily textual but it

One could argue that applies to sci-fi as a whole, but some how Vingie's vision of omnipresent dust motes seems more likely (certainly given several hundreds years of cyclical progress, as in the story) than teleporters or even flying cars.

As a consumer I personally prefer Amazon Payments. They already have my information and their checkout is familiar. I can't say if they support international payments though (but they're a good "for US customers" option!)

I'd been familiar with the concept of verbs and nouns in vim but this really simplifies it all. I wish there was a more comprehensive list of everything in a readable format. Man pages just don't do it for me :(

Teehee. Sorting by size sorts the string size rather than the true size. At first this leads to logical results, like 0.9GB being at the top of the results, and then you realize that 53mb file is right next to that 53.6kb file. Wait a secon

I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge yet. He actually presents a vision of a very natural, expressive near future UI. While he doesn't go into technical details about everything, he does describe interact

A good reminder that sometimes there's wonderful things hidden in the unknown. I'm a IT newb, but I wonder if there's a sane way for backbone providers to communicate with startups to achieve that vision he presents at the end.
