+1 recommended reading for "In Defense of Food". It's way outside my regular reading tastes (pop-ish science + nutrition related), but I enjoyed every moment of it, and it's defini…

You could still keep a record of all calls made, and the tower(s) used to make each call, without getting down to this level of granularity. I might be wrong here, but it seems tha…

I'd also like to know whether this information can be or has ever been used in court as evidence. "Where were you on the night of such and such...?" may become a question of the pa…

Thanks! Moving to San Fran in 2 days (from New Zealand). Hopefully there's some useful stuff in there.

The new layouts for both gizmodo & lifehacker seem quite buggy to me (Mac, latest Chrome). Most obviously, there is a grey line that tracks its way up the screen as I scroll past '…

I think the better all round solution (in terms of privacy, functionality and maintenance) is to go with a free private git hosting provider like assembla.com. I have tried both th…

Haha. Make that three.

I like the idea. I have two quick questions: - what happens when my site is experiencing issues and you receive massive volumes of complaint/problem emails - how do I continue to i…

Fair. Would you feel the same way about a web application, as opposed to a content-heavy site?

Not trolling. But I admit that I'm overstating my position a little bit to see if any interesting discussion comes of it. The reality of my current situation (a one, sometimes two …

For the time being, I will personally continue to build #!-only websites, designed exclusively for javascript enabled browsers. Maintaining two versions (along the guidelines of pr…

I worked in Biometrics for a few years. I was on a fingerprint team, but I was part a wider team that was also responsible for forensic-quality facial recognition technology (a wor…

I'd also like to hear some pragmatic CSS professionals weigh in on this topic. From what I've seen so far, I agree that some of the resets are over the top, but I'm not sure whethe…

Requires a Linkedin profile to sign up!? Really!? There are so many reasons that is a stupid idea.

For people who can't remember if they ever signed up: Go to gawker.com and use the 'forgot my password' utility. It's under login > forgot my password. Enter your email address in …

Often times, efreedom ranks higher than StackOverflow, and in some cases SO isn't even on the first page (for some reason the official source 'misses' with my search terms). In tho…

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. Like I mentioned in my original post - it's so hard to keep a clear head looking in from the outside and seeing all the media reports…

Yeah I had thought about that fact - I wouldn't want to get into a lesser position by applying for a job remotely than what I could achieve applying in person. I think I will follo…

I'm moving halfway across the world to the San Francisco area on March 13th. Very excited. I will be hoping to start work as quickly as possible, but realistically I can hang in th…

This is a kind of obvious problem to approach, but as people here have mentioned, it would be extremely difficult (milo are trying, as have others). An idea I had once upon a time …

I found it possible to absorb more knowledge (wisdom?) about UX by performing user tests than by any other method of studying the subject. Grab a copy of "Rocket Surgery made Easy"…

"that you I be able to" = "that I won't be able to". I have no idea how that came out so wrong.

I've been using spoon.net on and off for cross-browser testing for about 2 years. It's a decent product, but remarkably unstable. It's very common by the middle of the day that you…

Keynote is a great, flexible application. I like to use it for wireframing, and then use Photoshop to create the individual page graphics (rather than designing the whole site layo…

A large part of the customer base for our premium web app is corporate. That means a lot (about 30%) run at 1280 x 1024, which I don't see in the poll as an option.
