A simple application that serves a purpose and addresses something people want to do. So... nice job. I wish people wouldn't abuse video sites and services to post audio-only content, though. That's what SoundCloud is for.

The glow of CRTs creates an atmosphere that's surely missed by a lot of those who enjoyed arcades.

To provide more specifics: Red ripped off JPEG2000, and the derelict USPTO awarded them a patent on it... which was upheld at some point by some equally ignorant judge. It's such a blatant rip-off that you can actually use an off-the-s

That was not parseable.

Epic isn't squeaky-clean, but Apple is making dangerous and dumb decisions in this whole debate. Banning third-party payments was one thing, but then Apple banned publishers from TELLING people about the ability to pay through a Web si

Amen. I have also rearranged attempts at building a "maze" that deliberately waste customers' time. If I'm in a shitty enough mood, I'll move entire displays so I can walk directly where I need to go without detouri

It was too late to repel them. The chairs were rife with brown-widow nests. Anyway, now I just blast these areas with a hose from time to time. Individual spiders I will relocate if they're in an area where people are likely to sit. Th

Same. It can get tiresome in CA though! I'll take widows over recluses any day. On the one occasion where I found an infestation too extensive to relocate (under almost every one of my outdoor chairs), I tried bug spray. Horrible. Than

Yep. That's for sure a revisionist definition. See also: "Digital Versatile Disc"

Eh, the ACA is the only reason I have "affordable" insurance. In the end it might have been more accurate to say, "Marginally Less of a Rip-Off Care Act."

Actually, that's my mistake. The examples I was thinking of turned out to be one and the same: It was a California proposition originally titled the "California Marriage Protection Act." That was the one where a judge forced

Nice comparison. And also certain political factions in the USA try to hide the shamefulness of laws they propose by giving them names that are directly opposed to what they'll do. The "Defense of Marriage Act" comes to mind.

I think the search box was always there, but for some reason it seemed that you needed to select a category... OK, I just looked up their old layout, and they buried the search bar amongst so much crap that it wasn't clear whether it p

#3 is certainly bullshit, but Yahoo failed because of #1. Forcing a user to drill down through hundreds or thousands of categories to do a search is absurd, don't you think? What other buttons do you want? But for sure Google has cripp

Good rant about BS terminology. He should've included "responsive" Web pages.
