All of your negative points remind me of Finland. Perhaps all of us Nordic folk suffer from some von Trier-ish ailment, where we focus on what's wrong instead of how good we have i…

I think it's in the TrueType hinting: http://blog.typekit.com/2011/03/16/skolar-web-hinted-for-bet...

Paul Allen has published some of his recent estimates here: https://plus.google.com/117388252776312694644/posts/EwpnUpTk... I can't comment on his methodology, but at least he clea…

The app comes with 10 free translations. Then there's a charge of $.99 for an additional 10 and $8.99 for an additional 100. That has got to be the most inconvenient pricing model …

Where do you have to click to display a submenu? At least for me it all works on hover, while clicking will open another page.

Why would they need a warrant if they are given permission to enter and search the premises?

I'm having trouble figuring out what the "Create one now, free"-button does. What am I creating? Also, "plan the same trip" doesn't make it immediately obvious that you're planning…

Can you still review an app you "purchased" with a promo code? Seems like a flaw to allow people who didn't pay for the app to rate it. This would also allow giving away codes in e…

Strange. It doesn't seem to work with twitter.com.

I find it extremely uncomfortable to partake in these discussions (outside HN, of course). The Macrumors poll effectively claims over 50% of the units are defective. It seems not t…

Do we even know for a fact that Apple contacted the show? She just said they weren't happy about it, which I took as a follow-up on the joke. They never mentioned Apple insisting o…

Didn't he already say there would be no App Store for desktop apps? Some developer emailed him about that and the reply was "nope".
