If you're more in the market for a chrome-and-platinum vacuum and don't care as much about the performance Is no one listening here? I said I care about performance, and build qual…

I don't care about a status symbol. I'm not in the vacuum market right now and already own a miele. Based on all the hype Dyson tries to generate, their product renders, commercial…

Dyson definitely does a great job at marketing, and giving their products a premium price and expectations. I was at the store one day, and saw vacuum cleaners. Now, I have no inte…

"Does uilang support other events? No, uilang lets you only react to clicks. Hover effects can usually be achieved in CSS and other events are simply out of the scope of this langu…

I run a large community as well, and had some similar issues. Occasionally threats work if you can convince them you're willing to take legal action, and you can scare them with ev…

Does the shape and mass distribution even matter? It's going to have a center of mass, so once that's located, shouldn't the orbit be close to a perfect ellipse?

It is interesting. At first I thought these fonts were hideous compared to the ones we know and love, but the examples gave me a little inspiration for them. Click the photos of th…

I'll toss in a few thoughts. Design is something that evolves over time. We're slowing working towards improving the design of the internet by taking two steps forward and one back…

There is balance but it's not easy to find. If I visit a restaurant, and they only serve chicken, that's kind of limited. Now, they give me the option of beef or chicken. Ok, this …

About your first point, I don't think that's true. For example, I visit the store to buy toothpaste. I might see 25 different kinds of Colgate, and 1 kind of Crest. Personally, I'd…

I think people living in the modern world, with all of our technology are no more happy than a caveman sitting by a fire with his family. However, to survive as a species in the lo…

Yes, but we wouldn't have cars or 1080p in the first place. Why would you develop 1080p technology if you were perfectly happy with 480p? Who would support your research and busine…

I don't know if it's that simple, it's only human to question things in life, and it's one of the main reasons we've come so far in the first place. Being unhappy and unsatisfied i…

It's difficult or impossible to tell if you made the right choice though, so you have no way of knowing if you should regret your decision. If I visit the store and there are two b…

There are a couple of popular TED talks about choice. http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_ch... It's something to keep in mind with your development work as w…

I know their prices are average, or slightly more expensive, however, it's convenient. For example, say I need a pair of sunglasses, a fan for my computer, a new frying pan, and SD…

Perhaps their evaluation isn't based on their profits, but how much value they can remove from other well established businesses? If they steal users from other platforms, like Fac…

Agreed, they own some of the most well known typefaces in the world. Sadly, their pricing is absurd. For example, I run a forum with a million daily page views. If I wanted to use …

I'm trying to gain 10 or 20 lbs, because I'm on the slim side. The problem, weighing yourself once a week is open to random fluctuations. For example, let's say I'm trying to gain …

Yes, I was paid for them. I was expecting the numbers to be corrected in the weeks to follow, which occasionally happens during strange activity. However, it was nearly a year ago,…

It was a user with a grudge that was banned from the service. They attempted to use a number of online point and click tools to attack the site, until I eventually banned their IP …

Slightly different, but I had a user attempt to get my AdSense account banned by repeatedly clicking ads for days. Sadly, for the advertisers, Google didn't do a thing. This user r…

There have been news topics submitted, highly voted and commented, but they've been deleted or removed from the homepage. It would be nice if we could get an answer as to why it's …
