I guess that's why it's an experiment. Tourist boards are driven by marketing and PR types. It's refreshingly transparent to hear from - apparently - real people... you see the country from their viewpoint.
The Mashable writer might just be a bit sensitive, I like the Sweden account (and follow other similar ones). Users seem to be free to talk about all sorts of sensitive topics without problem. To me, this week is just…
I'm probably alone on this, but 'lame' is such a lazy word to use. Saying it repeatedly just made me stop reading.
Your mother sounds like she's using tabs like you would in Excel, where you have different spreadsheets for different types of transactions. You see that quite a lot with users who are experts in one area and try to…
I don't know where I read this, but I always thought the EC/EU/Euro was an effort by the allied countries to tame a future German economy. If that's true, then Germany distancing themselves would surely defeat the…
I've got to say, I'm wary of supporting technologies that are linked to disagreeable behaviour like that - for a time I was considering phasing out MySQL for a similar reason. I saw Sun as one of the good guys.
It is especially surprising given that conference tickets are usually really expensive.
The good thing about legislation is you can go after those minority of bad guys. That's what happens when businesses call individuals who are on these privacy lists, they are reported to a regulator and the regulator…
Indeed. There's a developer bubble around Hacker News and websites like Stack Overflow, where topics like bcrypt have become second nature. Whereas standard developers, i.e. those that program solely as a job, they…
Even opting for bcrypt can be sketchy. Native support only appeared a few years ago, older versions rely on the OS - many of which didn't support blowfish without a patch. Fine if you control the server.
Indeed. Some processing is good, but a lot of it just makes the food too easy to eat. I would argue that even processing food at home, such as mashing potatoes can be a problem unless you are careful about the portion…
Conversely, it winds me up when products boast that they have no artificial ingredients, yet have colours or flavours which are mixtures of natural substances that have little to do with the products that they are being…
That toolbar has improved a lot since I last saw it, it used to make the websites all jerky and difficult to browse.
Even those tests they give developers to do during the interview process are off-putting, especially given there's a talent shortage in many parts of the world. That said, good luck. I think this sort of thing will help…
Article seems to be about user addiction, yet it skirts over the topic for some reason.
There's a lot of people out there who aren't regular gamers (i.e. don't use steam), so a high profile bundle like this is perfect.
It's easier to switch parts if you don't specify them.
The ideal way to change is iteratively otherwise you create a usability problem for your experienced users, which is why you get those revolts. As far as I understand it, FB enhanced their service, whereas Digg…
Most commodity furniture is like this, if you ever look inside a modern couch you'll be amazed how cheap and poor quality the innards are - I mean plastic instead of metal, and low grade wood that's holding the weight…
I guess there's little commercial sense in aiming for higher resolutions when you can sell 1080p panels in bulk for TVs.
Here are some selective quotes from the document, I take it to mean: tell the user with a clear message at least once (ideally get them to click confirm but it's not a requirement): "In some circumstances those seeking…
This happens in all sort of markets. You charge based on the cost of living. I don't like it, but it happens. It is usually linked to a contractual obligation in the locality, which means they have to charge higher to…
As far as I understand it, the UK now allows an implied opt-in, so long as you make it clear to the user that cookies are being used.
For me, it was the most memorable. That's the key to winning: something that hits you instantly and sticks with you. It was simple, it played up to a genre preference of Western Europe and the performance was unique in…
A browser is troubling but you can opt-out by using a competitor (I think that's a reason why Google still supports Firefox). It's when they start buying ISPs that you should treat it seriously because that's an attempt…
