I was scrolling the comments wondering if others saw that as well. Maybe their internal designer won his bid for the new design by making the ads more prominent.

From a design perspective I think they would probably get many more sign ups if they had a better call to action for their sign up button.

It is hidden as a regular anchor tag and took me more then 5 seconds to even think about signing up.

That was hard work reading that article.

This is surprising to see. It has to be some type of a misunderstanding. If RIM took this down because kik competes with BBM then they are taking yet another step towards putting themselves out of business.

That is exciting to hear, but it seems like it is ways away unfortunately. Thanks for the link.

I use both and love both browsers but as a developer I still find it frustratingly hard to use chrome without having firebug or an exact clone of firebug. (I am hoping someone says there is a firebug equivalent for Chrome)

To come up with ideas I take all of my experiences in my life and think about things that normally would affect me on a daily basis.

Once I think of the idea I then apply the following set of rules.

1. Does this exist and if so can it be done better? 2. Would I use this? 3. Will this be valuable to another person or persons? 4. Can a business model be applied?

If I answer yes to all then I feel I have something viable to bounce off a few family members and friends. After hearing their feedback I think about the idea for some time so as to let it stew. If I keep coming back to it and start to like it I make the decision to go forward or not. Even when I move forward it is always a battle to stay on track so be strong.

The reason I put this up here on Hacker News is that I did not know that they were going to be coming out with the ability to print from the iPad.

Yes I did click through, but I still stand on my original comment. You would think that for Google being as massive as they are and for the unique fact that this is spun off without the word Google in front of the site name that they would spend some type of ample effort presenting a more eye pleasing site. My expectations for other online fashion shops are far less being that they are not Google.

I am really starting to believe that Google does not have any designers working for them. What is with the search engine like feel for a website that has to do with fashion?

I understand if you are just selling regular goods online, but for something that speaks to peoples eyes should there not be some decent aesthetics involved.

The "Twitter guys" had a reason to make twitter use 140 characters since twitter initially was built solely for use with SMS and they had to deal with SMS's 160 character limit. 140 for the tweet and 20 for your twitter handle. As others have stated 50 is an arbitrary number.

MoreMoschops I double that nonsense and raise you 1. I just read two TC articles from HN and both articles seam to be written as pure hyperbole. If you are in the business of writing news then write something of value, and please stop writing articles without some good data to back up your opinions.

This is an excellent article. I was bullied when I was in highschool and guess what? I fought back and they backed down. It not only made me overcome the bullies, but it gave me greater confidence in my adult years to not take crap from anyone.

Additionally people rarely change so those bullies you faced back in your childhood are sitting around you at your place of work as well. Do not let them have the time of day, and do not give in to them, fight back.

Google could also block any facebook links from appearing as google search results if things become more tenuous. I highly doubt this would ever happen since they might face a heavy duty backlashing, but the thought is intriguing.

I total agree with your assessment. Management sometimes believes that you can outsource software development and quality assurance without investing the time in documenting what it is you are sending out. They then wonder why things are missed.

Additionally what happens is that the person sending out the work is often stuck having to fix it due to a crunch in time, thus defeating the purpose of outsourcing. (At least in my experience)

That is really interesting.

That makes sense.

I agree. That part confused me a bit. Was Pace's foot on the accelerator when Innes got out of the car to check on him as well?

This is very exciting for those users who would love a fully integrated computing experience.

I am someone who uses multiple computing devices throughout my day, and the idea of having my phone, a hand held tablet, and my desktop/laptop all in sync sharing my data with a click of a button is a very enticing proposal.

Yes there are concerns about whether Apple completely closes down developers of OS X, but I just cannot see this as a likely event.

Apple is all about user experience. What Apple is doing right now is laying the ground work for the future.

Imagine 10-15 years from now your vehicle, home, place of work, even a personal robotic assistant all running on one platform acting in sync. Some may think it is scary, but to me it is the natural progression of technology.

Helping to make life more entertaining, and helping to rid us of our everyday problems is why we consume these devices. I think we are all lucky to experience what is happening in this industry.

Change is hard, but we are the consumers of these products and we get to shape them contrary to what it sometimes feels like.

This is a brilliant idea. I am looking to create my own media center for my family to gain access to from different parts of the country. Any commercial or open source alternatives to ZumoCast?

I am working on a fantasy sports business. To be specific, this evening of work had to do not with building features but with actually mending relationships busted up by good ole email miscommunication. My advice is to say what you have to say on the phone or in person. Leave emotional discussions off of paper/email.
