Yeah, I'd like to have sympathy for the OP because the USCBP and DHS can be annoying to deal with but you have to know what to say before going in there. He brought it upon himself. You can't just go unprepared expecting them to help you ou

Why? Flickr is one of last Yahoo products people I know sometimes still use. Facebook does a poor job at retaining high res pictures, few non-photographer friends use 500px, G+ doesn't have as much control, and Instagram is only for specifi

I'm actually confused. I remember Kickstarter specifically saying that they didn't fund startups back when I applied to them.

"I'm not going to side with design over engineering" It shouldn't be one or the other, it should work in unison. Design includes aesthetics and user interaction. Airbnb wouldn't successful if the user flow wasn't well crafted and a far supe

Funny how time can sometimes heals all wounds. Contrast Truman's approval ranking on the graph from the OP's post with his aggregate ranking in this table from Wikipedia, where he is ranked in the first quartile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

"HBO series have a lot of credibility, in general, as well. So I'll hold my breath that it doesn't paint indie/startup developers as total screw-ups." I'll give them benefit of the doubt. As a huge fan of 24/7 for Hockey, they've given incr

As a minority, I'm fine with this. Hollywood constantly casts minorities as stereotypes and almost always casts a white lead with the occasional African American.

Perhaps I should've been more specific. His argument was that scrolling down timeline is one of the most emotional experiences. Scrolling through a haphazard column system of photos of mishmash isn't that emotional to me. Going one by one t

I have to disagree. Going through a photo gallery is far more emotional and personal than browsing a two column grid.

"Also, shrinking my browser window doesn't dynamically resize or shift the layout so -1 for unresponsiveness. I was on a sub page of the Boston location which may not have that flexibility but for 18M and 2012 ... it should." Responsive des

I don't think that includes consultants that helped the design, user experience, and architecture. Since they went with a pretty well known interactive agency, it probably cost them more than three million.

Seriously. I'm all for being compliant for most users, but accommodating for users who actively gimp their browser is a little ridiculous when they probably represent less than 5% of their users. You have to expect that some sites just aren

Pretty much. And if one is loyal to consumer products that have much more of a everyday influence but support that bill... well then it gets even harder. Looking at this list, I would have to stop playing any EA game (and I have played NHL

Agreed. It'd be nice if people continued sticking to their guns with other issues. i.e. Net Neutrality and AT&T, but if this is a first step, I will take it.

"I think also cost is not the reason, especially for the low numbers we're talking about." While I agree that their campaigns have been effective, I tend to disagree that cost isn't an issue. Heck, even I was informed of other registrars a

Because it's cheap, popular, and most people don't interact with their domain registrar aside from registration and renewal. Why do people buy clothes made in sweat shops or from chains that are terrible to it's employees? A lot of it just
