> What mattered was to get the idea out and to start the conversation, editing and polish would follow later. On the other hand, careless writing shows that the author places littl…

Random people voting for what would be a good feature in nonexistent business apps? A very useful survey...

I think it depends on context and execution. For example Twitter always used them over tweets in their app, and it works quite well, or do you disagree?

I think it's a little unfair to dismiss this design pattern just because it's not immediately discoverable on page load. It really depends on the context in which this is used. Als…

> And if your point is that being able to do those projects and ALSO "buy what you want" (e.g. nicer TV and car) will give you much greater satisfaction from your life, you are clu…

Can't believe this post made it to the front page of HN ;)

I think it's just their way of saying they're looking to hire a graphic designer as opposed to programmers, not their design philosophy.

Yes but how do you use WordPress without installing a bunch of stuff on your computer? You need MySQL and you need a web server to run it, probably Apache. These don't come standar…

Looks good. One problem: it was very difficult to actually find a link to each app's website. The little "Go to app" doesn't even look like a link. I suggest making the site link m…

What's the value in dumping 50 links on your readers? Are we supposed to read all that? Isn't it the function of the editor to go through them and select their picks, thus saving u…

Good point, but you don't necessarily need this input device to be in your pocket, and it doesn't have to come in the form of a phone. For example, here's one solution: accept/decl…

Simple: bluetooth headsets. If you think about it, the current way of using a phone -- i.e. holding up a device to your ear and keeping it there for the duration of the conversatio…

Maybe you could use one slider with 2 directions. E.g. the slider button starts in the center, and you could slide it right to unlock and go to the home screen, or slide it left to…

It's not about real good/harm, it's about perceived harm. When confession lies at the core of your religion, you end up obsessing over your "sins" and then praying for forgiveness.…

Out of interest, what's the source of the Netherlands statistics you've mentioned?

Why not? Do you suggest we assume everyone corrupt just because there is "plenty of corruption everywhere in Russia"? Everyone is guilty by association?

While less is more in online forms is good advice, the thing about 7 items is wrong in this context. This is because while you may only keep 7 items in your head at any time you're…

Brand awareness. An ad for a BMW for example. You're not likely to click and buy the car right there, so it works the same way as their TV ad does -- it'll keep the brand in your m…

You also have to remember this is a showcase, and sites with a lot of visuals tend to make better showcases simply because they're more fun to look at even if they're not easier or…

The numbers matter. The issue here is this: everybody isn't equal, we're all unique. Some people work hard, are more intelligent, and contribute more to society. Some people are of…
