The current icons really aren't that good. Looking at apple specifically: The facetime and messages icons are almost completely indistinguishable. Get angry and say I'm blind, but so is a lot of the userbase - like legitimately, l

I agree with your conclusion that the sweet spot is in the middle, because I could easily explain to my mom "click the icon that has a pen and paper" and it would be very obvious. The current icon is completely ambiguous crap.

What's messed up about red light cameras is they can actually be useful - if used correctly! The correct use case is "We seem to have a problem with red light runners at this intersection, so let's find out why by temporarily

Those things should just be illegal. I can't even imagine how much energy and plastic/paper/food goes to waste in those damn things.

"If she can only cook as well as Honeywell can compute." Oh my goodness it's a satirical ad. I don't know the proper marketing term for it, but I've seen these in magazines before plenty of times. It's pretty f

The old shitty clay lines are what you find in most rentals in SoCal. Then one day none of your toilets flushes and the landlord says you flush too many wipes down the toilet. You argue and they make you pay for a plumber who's like &q
