How long do you use a standing desk at a time? After a while, my back and legs start to hurt and I need to sit down.

High on irrelevant imagery, low on content. It's the same reason that I'm not fond of The Verge's layout (despite their great content). Lists of titles (old Digg, reddit, HN) is a great way to browse links.

It's not an app... it's like the notification tray. You can't simply 'take' the notification tray from one OS to another. Same with this. It comes with Jelly Bean.

It's not impossible that this was done on purpose. Perhaps they will bring the feature to Chrome or Chrome OS :D

False. This has been photoshopped.

You had a good idea, and someone took the opportunity to build it. You'll have plenty of more ideas! Work on your programming skills and you'll be able to cash in one day. Good luck

As I mentioned in a comment earlier this week: to many people, Facebook is the default communication medium for a large number of people. You can bet your ass it would matter! There are many sources of news that people can reach to. But peo

But only if you have the only water on sale in the desert. Deserts tend to be deserted. "The only water seller" is redundant.

They also collected the browsing history of non-users. Freaky stuff.

Absolutely. The site thrives off of a small set of human social weaknesses and tendencies. And when a competitor comes around, they do this even further. Each set of privacy changes is pushed out with a proportionate UI change; people spend

Exactly. Even if you try data poisoning (making an account with fake details), people can still attribute details to your account unsuspectingly. And you can't stop them from doing it, either. Very few people realize this lack of control.

Arguments against the Real Name policy are valid if all your thoughts, opinions, and actions all funnel through that one social network. In reality, however, there are many alternate forums for expressing your views with varying levels of

An instance of a common practice is a minor decision, in my opinion. You may be adding fuel to the fire, but the proportion is insignificant.

I disagree with this actually, for several reasons! You're speaking about the Facebook of yesterday. Within the last year, they have introduced several features which remove the control of your privacy, and distribute the information gather

You're taking it far too literal. I'm aware of parents who have 6 year olds and 10 year olds using Facebook so that they have access to games and family. The Facebook UI/UX does do nasty tricks to coerce people into providing more informati

What? He/she wasn't relating it to oppressive camps at all. Perhaps re-read the comment. I think that Facebook is relatively oppressive and authoritarian in the context of online services and social software in general. Extending the an

Religion is vaguely similar... but the entirety of my argument is based on the literal social network and the strong ties and attributes that it carries. The value of individual social ties in a larger network. I don't think that pot is rel

In my own experience, Facebook is a phonebook of people I am acquaintances with, which offers me a mutual/consensual access into their personal life. It's a communication medium, a social contract, and a social square between other acquaint

To many people, Facebook is the default communication channel. To delete your Facebook account is like to be offered a free iphone + unlimited contract and refuse it; the idea of removing your name from the social phonebook is beyond the co

As much as I agree with ALL the criticisms of Facebook, the dependency on the platform isn't due to stupidity or ignorance... the dependency is by design. There isn't much freedom to leave the network, due to the lack of worthwhile alternat

I agree with many of Stallman's views to some extent, but it's very hard to ignore that he is willing to sacrifice anything and everything for what are essentially minor decisions. It's good that we have him around to consider the utopian

This seems like a perfect example of overhype. Without tangible details about the device and it's actual capabilities, we are left to wonder what is possible, and many of us will be let down since you can't pack a thousand features into the

"X is hard, let's go Y" Is this a reference to consultant_barbie on reddit, or is this meme more widespread?

I wasn't aware that "life loggers" actually exist. What sort of hardware are they wearing? Do they behave differently?
