I think a lot of these look terrible. And, they're not really 'creative' - most are totally obvious username and password fields.

Google will patch this quickly, AdWords integrity is critical to them.

I've never really followed Cisco before, but this story has really tainted my view of them. I'll think twice next time I see the Cisco logo on something.

Most interesting that signups increased despite the only route to sign-up being 'below the fold' - users didn't mind scrolling through the whole thing to see the call-to-action.

Some gaze plots on Nielsen's site show people only allocate 20% of their attention 'below the fold'* http://www.useit.com/alertbox/scrolling-attention.html

* yes, I hate typing that phrase!

I'm not sure it is a "move by Apple" - Adobe have had months of access to Lion (like every developer in the world) and didn't bother to check or patch incompatibilities. Sloppy Adobe.

Epic cool

Next gen SSDs - that's what I'm waiting on. Lower cost and higher capacity, then I'll be all over one of these.

"Most ambitious startup ever" ...in South Africa, the article continues.

Why do we need shorter and shorter URLs? Goo.gl was short enough - is this just because of Twitter's (semi-arbitrary) 140 char limit?

In my view, shorteners should be for making URLs more manageable, human-readable, paste-able, etc - not for saving space necessarily.

Point taken.

Woah - downvote, just because it's not funny! Bit harsh.

Presumably so you can elect to search history and be prepared to wait for results - unlike omnibar where you want instant typing.

It's cre-ape-tive commons. :D

Nice job. Looking forward to the API-enabled version.

In light of recent years' events, I hope "Wall Street-Level Security" is taken to mean "Not very secure".

Extraordinary.

Not really - it's perfect for those new to AWS. It's not as generic as the title suggests, but you realise it's an AWS thing pretty early in.

Definitely up there in the top 5 of linkbait titles.

Awesome.

Great intro to AWS.

Too much clicking.

Fair point!

Linux, of course, has symlinks too.

Tl;dr == You can use symlinks on OSX to effectively make Dropbox sync as much data from across your Mac as you need.

Nice password - 'newsys' - all lowercase, no numbers, no symbols...

Have to agree with other posters - Best article I've read on Stuxnet - good job.

+1 Damn!

Good analysis.

I've definitely noticed the creep of more and more being added to the Home button in subsequent iOS releases.

I've not seen iOS 5 yet, but I hope that no more functionality is triggered by the button.

...and neither should you. If you're happy where you are then you already have more than most.

Agree, looks about 1.4 fully-open.

Um.. second display? Second desktop? Spaces?
