Get real? Why the hostility? Eli's comment is aimed at how unintuitive OS X's system is, not how inconvenient it is compared to Windows.

Seriously not impressed by the generalization that interns are the ones responsible for "making the web a terrible place." So as soon as that same developer takes a position as a f…

I agree that Firefox's certificate warning page is much better designed. I'm not blaming 'dumb' users for anything, I was providing supporting evidence of the fact that when browse…

To corroborate your point, one of the Chromium developers spoke about this sort of problem, but in the context of invalid SSL certificates and the associated warning that Chrome di…

To be honest, this seems like a set of 'nice company policies,' rather than core values. A lot of these could be summarized with a single value that they are idealizing. This list …

Saying that different defaults should be documented prominently is like saying that because every piece of software is different, you should be required to read the documentation b…

Don't feed the trolls.

They're not even trying to hide the fact that they're patent trolls: "We are located in East Texas, and we are developing innovative technologies and products. We have a team who i…

Is the sunburst background behind Lehrer's head in the table necessary? I thought this was about being 'professional.' That being said, I'm glad the journalism community is crackin…

Do you have to use LaunchRock? If it's holding you back form presenting a great first impression, then dump it.

Google isn't being lazy & insensitive. I18N is hard.

Besides the points about not sharing products I haven't bought/tested/tried/etc., your page is not visually appealing. It's hard to take anyone claiming to 'design' shirts seriousl…

There's a huge gap in the complexity of getting your product perfect and not making grade-school level grammar errors on a 20 line 'parking ticket.'

I'll be honest, I've read a very small number of books on software development throughout the years. I've learned all my stuff on the way, from mistakes I've made, associated docum…

You should! Make sure you pick up the 6th book by Eoin Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame), 'And Another Thing...' who's actually done a marvelous of picking up the series where it left …

He's not joking, he's a master at personal branding. As much as you might want to think he's a narcissist -- it's really hard not to, at times -- he's simply found a superb way to …

Except, that isn't even close to the actual quote: "Okay, so, ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, okay?"

Stating his opinion is not being pedantic, quoting the definition to make a point is being pedantic. I think what he's saying has merit; I would call this a utility, or something m…
