I am having a problem where a story has hundreds of comments. I click 'more' once to go to the second page but by the time I've reached the bottom the 'more' link takes me to an expired page and the only way to reach the page I wanted is to go back to the first page, reload it and then click 'more' on each page quickly until I get to the comment page I wanted to be on.

Is this fixable?

Mmm, if you look at the site it's really not that surprising it didn't take off.

Landing on that site and seeing the big 'Create Sale' button is pretty confusing. I don't think 'oh this is a site for musicians to sell their music directly to fans'. It also claims I can use 'social sales' but is that a meaningful term? I've never heard it before and it sounds pretty buzzwordy.

edit: Just watched the video on the front page and I can easily believe that only 1 out of 1700 people thought it was worth bothering with.

The execution just seems awful.

I think the the bar for usability is significantly affected by the money they may have to pay to have the phone replaced if their contract expired, they bought it upfront, etc.

I know if I had a £500 device that had a broken screen I would keep using it at least until I could afford to get the screen replaced.

If it can be indexed then it's not hidden, right? Though I guess in this context hidden doesn't mean 'hidden on purpose', more that it's inaccessible.

My father was a bus driver and he had a heart attack in his late 50s. The number of men he worked with who also had heart attacks was staggering. When he visits the hospital for his regular check-ups he always meets other bus drivers. It's really quite alarming.

I wish that sometimes companies like these didn't get acquired before they had to start making money for themselves. When everyone is scared that everyone else is going to purchase the "next big thing" first we get these crazy purchase prices. If they'd just been allowed to run up huge server/bandwidth bills, fail to monetize and shutdown it would return some sanity to the world.

I used to upgrade my phone once every ~5 years too. Until iOS/Android phones came out things didn't really change much. Sure they got thinner, bigger/colour screens, higher MP cameras, etc. but the functionality was pretty much SMS/MMS, voice calls/mail, photos/videos and that was it. If you were happy with the camera you had and the size of the screen there was very little reason to upgrade beyond fashion.

Now, however, the smart phone I bought last year is struggling to run the latest applications due to it's low CPU speed, if I didn't know how to install my own ROMs (and most people don't) I would be stuck on Android 2.1 and that means I couldn't run a lot of the newer apps. Newer phones have actual useful features being added like HDMI-out, NFC, better battery technology, etc.

That story is quite hard to believe if I'm honest.

I'm guessing a Windows phone developer would own a windows pc and not a Mac as you say he is known to "rant about apple". Since you need a Mac to develop/publish for iOS would he really buy an iPhone, learn obj-c and buy a Mac just because the store he visited didn't stock Windows phones?

Every time an announcement like this is made I get a bunch of angry messages from friends I've convinced to use Google Apps for their personal email who will have to wait an unspecified amount of time for the new features.

Do you only turn your Xbox on every 6 months? Dashboard updates are very infrequent.
