    That's what I love about cottonTracks, even if it does lack a bit in the portability standpoint.

    Or, even better, have a demo on the home screen, or at least a link to one.

    This is one of the most grounded and realistic responses at the moment, and I would like to add a bit from my experiences with anxiety and depression. While my symptoms weren't as …

    There are some interesting hurdles, and you've done a great job of thinking of a few of them! I can see three likely async solutions: SMS style message based (explicitly not real t…

    That's absolutely valid, CR exists because customers don't know what to do next. That said, there's a lot that could be done to mitigate that. - High phone support visibility on ho…

    I'm not sure how this is necessarily much different than phone communication with the notable caveat that text is quicker to parse. It's already inadvisable to give that informatio…

    I can see there being a happy medium here as no all support requests are task oriented. Either a) asynchronous support for support inquiries like "When will product x be in stock?"…

    A touch interface, for one. Emulates are find and all but I find their inaccuracy frustrating more often than not. Further, it's not just a 20 year old game on an emulator. Somebod…

    I'm largely a fan of the idea I've felt the burn of the "I paid full price for this because I appreciate your work but now it's 33% off?" moment (Borderlands anyone?). I want to se…

    I felt the same about the thumbnails. Then I checked out the new articles and could easily pick out the spam (Indian Party Wear Sarees in this case). I don't think it's so useful f…

    I'm wholly relieved that someone else thinks this way too ( still aware of the fact that most thoughts aren't unique). I never came to the conclusion of metamorphosis, however. Jus…

    One could argue that applies to sci-fi as a whole, but some how Vingie's vision of omnipresent dust motes seems more likely (certainly given several hundreds years of cyclical prog…

    See also: Vinge's Rainbows End for a near future example of ubiquitous networking (amongst other likely visions).

    As a consumer I personally prefer Amazon Payments. They already have my information and their checkout is familiar. I can't say if they support international payments though (but t…

    I've had more luck with the QtWebKit Bridge: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qtwebkit-bridge.html than other options (primarily Titanium). It's a bit more complicated and requ…

    I'd been familiar with the concept of verbs and nouns in vim but this really simplifies it all. I wish there was a more comprehensive list of everything in a readable format. Man p…

    Teehee. Sorting by size sorts the string size rather than the true size. At first this leads to logical results, like 0.9GB being at the top of the results, and then you realize th…

    I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge yet. He actually presents a vision of a very natural, expressive near future UI. While he doesn't go into t…
