If you're going to harass a group of people it's a lot more tasteful to target one that isn't already persecuted.

I like how the pics page lets you see larger amount of data (pictures) at once than is possible just using Twitter, although you might want to check out the layout on that page in Chrome -- some of the text gets covered by ads. Other than t

They better be careful or Apple is going to sue them for violating their patent on swipe direction detection.

Unlike most light bulbs, a monitor has a brightness setting that can be set to a comfortable level. Also the metaphor of ink on paper is still with us in a big way. Dark text on a light background is the norm, light on dark is the exception

Seems to me the second part is only lame because he's doing it strictly to make money. If he were doing it for a more creative project it would just be self-promotion.

"403 Error - Forbidden" speaks to the realities of selling iPhone apps as much as any other article I've read recently.

The whole story looks like it's been voted down to -2. The low contrast line needs to be drawn somewhere.

Not at all. I mean, here I am talking about the same thing.

I'm having the same problem. I was signed in and everything was hunky-dory but then I signed out just to test your example... bad idea. Now I'm stuck out! This happened to me the other day, and I was all confused because normally when a sit

I'm not sure that's the case. Although it's likely that many of the app reviews on AppCraver were paid for, there's no way of telling that a particular one was. For example, there are a couple of negative reviews on the site which I imagine

Yes. Thank you for pointing that out—that typo's been fixed. Speaking of Apptism, I like that site a lot, except that I can't figure out what those little numbers in red circles mean. I'm sure they explain on their site somewhere, just have

I noticed two friends who use their mouse to repeatedly select and deselect text in web browsers as they read pages online. This is absolutely crazymaking for onlookers, but really satisfying for them. I do this all the time. I hadn't eve
