You don't have to design to care about fonts. I'm not a painter nor artist but I read about new paintings and artists. I don't play Starcraft 2 much but I still watch a bunch of Yo…

"The players are just playing to win within the rules given to them and shouldn't be blamed." Indeed. It seems kind of stupid to penalize them now instead of refining the rules aft…

I've said this before, but whenever I see these conversations on my Twitter and HN streams, huge segments of people are left out of the conversation. In the U.S. at least, tech dia…

Could you elaborate on this point?

I hate to say it, but I agree. The commercials aren't the only red flag for me. The recent releases (MacBook Pro Retina, Mountain Lion, rumored iPhone 5, iOS6) haven't thrilled me …

Indeed. It's funny because I would argue that Asian men represent a notable minority in U.S. tech companies but have very little representation in executive positions at tech compa…

Really? I know a lot of people around the world who use Twitter, ranging from notable authors to famous physicists to fashion designers to hockey sportswriters. G+ MIGHT get there …

I feel like a fool for not knowing this earlier. Works with Alfred too.

I actually use it a few times a day to do simple things like calculations, conversion, weather forecast... then again I'm on a laptop with F4 as the Apple-set shortcut.

It's hard to say from an outsider's perspective whether or not they are 'swimming in cash.' I suppose we do have some estimates for their revenue, but not how much profit they actu…

Speaking of the UK, Foxtons also does a great job providing two interfaces for searching properties (list vs. map view) as well as organizing photos by room with specified dimensio…

Thanks for the piece. Reading the comments made me cringe.

Indeed. I've brought up this point numerous times yet no one (besides you) responds. It just seems easy to swath all men as having advantages over women when in fact, divided into …

"and whose priorities will shift wildly after she gives birth in October." Are you insinuating that she'll focus more on her family than her job?

There are so many other demographics in tech that are also under-represented. African American men. Latinos. Heck, even though Asians are highly represented in engineering/comp-sci…

What's interesting to me is that there are clearly a lot of Asians who study engineering/comp-sci at excellent North American schools (let alone schools around the world), yet very…

It's kind of ridiculous that some mod or admin must've hidden this post because it's now missing from the front page.

"But yes, Kickstarter is selling dreams. It's helping start-ups take off simply by believing in their vision." Funny. I applied to KS two years ago and they rejected me because "th…

Well for one the table top is aluminum and can support up to 2000 lbs. And it's a lot sleeker looking.

I've met friends travelling but the problem is I ended up making friends in cities outside of the one I moved to.

If had a bit more expendable income: http://www.dwr.com/product/workscape-folding-table.do

Indeed. Years ago, they took a bold choice to use one input box for both searching and url's and now it's one major reason why I use Chrome over Firefox and Safari.

Indeed. Not to mention a lot of agreements specifically state that the renter is not to sublet their apartment. If the person doesn't like it, just find a landlord willing to allow…
