If you're serious, then your idea of rating people according to some measure and denying people who score low is outrageous. Why would you so blatantly misrepresent what someone sa…

I've moved on from Opera. It took them forever to implement basic usability features such as text box spell-check, and inline password remember/find in page. They also removed grea…

And the back button doesn't even work.

>The main playback controls apply to the content in the main window. First of all, that's wrong. You are able to stop a track in the iTunes store, so you can control media items fr…

>Of course not. That's how iTunes already works, and iTunes is already consistent. What's consistent about arbitrarily removing 'pause' functionality when not necessary? That is no…

>You are forgetting these iTunes use cases: None of those are contradictory to the idea of control consistency throughout iTunes, why would they be? In fact, deliberately selecting…

The way they work is exactly the problem. Considering there's a lot you can do in iTunes, it makes more sense to have the control buttons apply to items independent of where you're…

> Right, because there's nothing to play. There's nothing there to play because "pause" irrationally became "stop" for no apparent reason (remember there's no playlist in sight), a…

Well yes. Microsoft is often said to have problems with teams competing internally (pointlessly), or just not working together. However, that's a management choice that can come fr…

1. You can't press play again, it's just faded out. 2. What other playlist? I'm in the iTunes store. I haven't given any indication that I want to or even could specify another pla…

My favorite iTunes feature insanity: When you listen to a song in the "Music" section of iTunes, you have a "pause" button; when you are listening and browsing iTunes store, the "p…

Sure, most of those plants can be cheaper to buy than grow, if you treat your garden shop clerk as a used car salesman and let him connive you into buying every unnecessary over ma…

Because everyone understands Assembly?

This is a motivational article. And a good one with great specific tips on how to optimize your workload. But obviously wrong in that natural talent has little to no effect on skil…

The same reason why people use facebook and don't just email their friends/family anymore. Having it all organized and separated from other activities is a huge benefit. I don't th…

In truth I think a service like this is more about not having your family and colleagues being able to easily snoop in on your private life, not about giving you iron clad privacy.…

So these people think they are better predictors of the future than all the people who failed, even though they probably never made a serious prediction themselves? They believe so…

It's definitely intellectually lazy. But dismissing something because it was also made into a bunch of films? Utterly failing to think for yourself and just reacting via knee-jerk …

The majority of people, who when told of the singularity, automatically dismiss it offhand only because it has that Hollywood "scifi ridiculous" sound to it, seem a lot less sane t…

Those are pretty timid explanations for how iTV will 'change everything'. Per network applications, instead of just say, one feature set for all networks? iAds to monetize content,…

It would have to be based on any interaction the receiver has with the email, including viewing the inbox. However, if we're already worried about that level of privacy, even that …

Unlimited undo to Gmail users until the E-mail is open would make sense too.

It is a reasonable assumption that the other genomes involved in human development are selected for as well, but don't drastically multiply the overall complexity of humans and esp…

True, but my guess is that the extra-genomic data, the preexisting cell, is a trivial amount, since it's always only interpreting the genome and is itself built on an interpretatio…

Selection pressure creates the complexity. Aside from what is selected for (the ~50MB of genome), where does the extra complexity come from? Why is it there? There's no reason why …
