Except the sites weren't click-able.

I touched on this in another comment and zefhous is pretty much on the money. Where I'm at we have a web-based interface for our warehouse, inventory and CSR systems. QR codes are all over the place and with our web UI's we use Charts for QR generation. This causes a bottle-neck when things are moving really fast on the floor. I haven't looked at this yet but it sounds like something we need.

I use it for our web-based warehouse/inventory system.

Living abroad, I can definitely see myself in a lot of this.

Interns.

"no one is using version control systems, most people hardly know the difference between a CMS and a framework, most still update their websites with FTP, virtual hosting is still a scary beast, cPanel is the norm, they still refer to web apps as "scripts""

Wrong. At least where I work. But I do still call web apps "scripts" because 1) I'm old and 2) that's what they are.

Some of these aren't drugs (n2o) but yeah. I just like recreational drugs. They can be taken safely.

I don't really see where this post says private profiles are the same thing as private buzz posts.

Strange thing to get angry about...

"This does not change who can see the posts - private posts stay private."

It needed a better interface.

Beta

I work tangentially to porn in adult toys for about six years. Built an affiliate program, retail sites, wholesale sites and various other stuff. Don't really interact with developers in the business, though (outside of some time on GFY before I stopped caring).

Most likely those are just affiliate sites.

"FT.com articles are only available to registered users and subscribers."

It was most likely an automated "Happy New Years" message from her carrier.

Yeah, discovering new content is really not very enjoyable.

Interesting, although I'm skeptical about it working in reality. Won't this be foiled by someone just dumbing down their language skills?

How spammy.

"A direct port to Javascript is also available."

Did you happen to notice where this is?

All we can do is continue flagging.

This was here yesterday and got deleted.

This. I read this entire RSS Is Dead article in Google Reader, never clicking through. With a Twitter or Facebook post, you don't have a choice but to click through in order to read it. Of course this is going to skew the stats.

Yeah, I was impressed by Spotify's UX but not the value as a consumer.

Think about it. Really hard. In your visualizations use terms like "licensing" and "international". You may find enlightenment this way.

So... all the latest buzzwords or technologies that anyone already following such things knows are hot. Gotcha.

I don't know if I would read too much into this. Maybe programmers already have books on subject X so only buy subjects Y and Z during this deal.

Raise a big stink in the local media and any internet channel you can think of. You might not have a legal leg to stand on but at least you can shame them with publicly available information.

Or just move on and accept this as a lesson learned.

I perhaps should have worded it differently but was trying to make my statement as simply as possible. I'm actually speaking from a business standpoint - this new site/feature has been marketed pretty heavily. "A new way to shop for fashion", "Google wants to dress you", etc. all in arguably locations that probably skew male. I haven't seen any mention of it being targeted only to those wanting to purchase women's clothing and think the message is off because of that.

If you have a vagina.
