There's a Ted talk on fair trade cell phone.

Suddenly my Gmail looks cluttered and old. Bonus, I got my [email protected]. That's a big win. Hope they make good stuff.

Seems like search tool needs some work. I can't find books that I am looking for 3 out of 3.
Re:Fred Wilson: My New Nexus 7" on Thursday July 05, 2012 @01:18PM (#4203906)
I disagree with you. You start ignoring the refresh flash and it is not distracting at all once you get used to it. Really the fancy page turn animation does not add any value to my reading experience. I would care less. What I care about is I can read my book outdoors in bright sunlight and go without charging for a month. And, my eyes don't get tired after long hours of reading.
Re:Htmlshell - generate HTML skeletons on Wednesday May 09, 2012 @01:57PM (#3949731)
Just so that it doesn't make any difference to you or your presentation doesn't mean that you should avoid it. It is a best practice to include them and semantically right thing to do. It gives a structure to your document and defines what your document is about.

I don't see it as a redundant tag, not at all.

Re:How 20 Popular Websites Looked When They Launched on Wednesday December 07, 2011 @02:36PM (#3325487)
The design for Twitter that launched in 2006 looks pretty ugly. I am sure there were better designs in 2006. It looks like 1995.
Naah. You still need to type in public places and don't want everyone to know what you are doing with your phone.

HP Envy 17 is clearly a rip off.
Re:Finally, real page numbers for the Kindle on Tuesday February 08, 2011 @01:06PM (#2193975)
I would really like to see the feature to convert any texts or pdfs into Kindle format. The converters I have tried so far are terrible with pdf books.
Same here. I hate that every click I make ends up at experts-exchange. I didn't even know you could find your answer by scrolling to the bottom until I read someone mention it on Hacker News.
Re:Hiring Front-End Engineers on Thursday January 20, 2011 @04:51PM (#2125462)
I felt that the author kind of mixed up front-end engineer and graphic designer. Good front-end engineers(developers) are not necessarily good graphic designers and vice versa.

I am a computer science graduate and front-end developer with four years of industry experience and I started it around 10 years back as a hobby. I do some graphic designing too but my strong domains are html,css and javascript. All of them are self-learned as the author has mentioned.

Wherever I worked, I hated the fact that people kind of undermine the importance of front-end. They bring in some software engineers and make them work with me. Everyone thinks they know html and css and its pretty easy.

Since there are no way of measuring the quality of their code, I get really frustrated seeing people undermine my domain. Even with this much of experience I feel there is so much to learn and so much improvements can be made.

Re:Web Programming Is Hard on Friday December 10, 2010 @02:30PM (#1992808)
I appreciate the author for recognizing web development. I often stumble upon my 'programming' friends who think web development and especially front-end is boring and trivial. I have hard time explaining how important and how complex things can get.

It's something my fellow hard-core programmer friends will never understand. I love my job and what I do.

Web Development rules!

Re:Life Lessons From A 27-Year Old on Tuesday December 07, 2010 @05:55PM (#1981020)
I am aware of the Ruby on Rails' scaffolding, CRUD, DRY and MVC stuff. Matter of fact, I am currently self-learning Ruby on Rails.

Yes, it would be nice to have some template to start with. I have used YUI CSS framework, Reset, etc. to start off applications. I guess that's relevant to templates you are talking about.

* Nothing that I can think of. Immigration is the biggest hurdle for me to do anything beyond my current job sponsor. * My key strengths are front-end. Javascript, jQuery, CSS * I would like to create something to come up with a business model.

* Sorry for late reply.

I am up for it. Where do we start from?
Re:Life Lessons From A 27-Year Old on Saturday December 04, 2010 @05:56PM (#1970396)
I agree for most part. I think a good web developer is one who can use the existing libraries efficiently to get the job done, not necessarily build one. It's hard to build something when you have to get the job done.

Re:Life Lessons From A 27-Year Old on Saturday December 04, 2010 @03:49PM (#1970089)
Your point on be an engineer is what I have been thinking lately. I am 27 as well and not in a position to be an enterpreneur. What I have realized is I need to start developing libraries(javascript/jquery) and not just use it.
Re:How Israel handles airport security on Monday November 15, 2010 @06:17PM (#1908320)
I don't think resources are the problem. You can decentralize TSA jobs. San Francisco area just needs to monitor one airport or three bay area airports. So, I think decentralization is the key and saying that US has too many airports is not an excuse.
Re:I broke textCAPTCHA with Python on Friday November 12, 2010 @11:25AM (#1898131)
I think you should release your wonderful algorithm not directly as a way to hack text-captchas but in some other useful forms.
I have started to feel that Gmail is getting bloated with features. I want my mail to be simple and lightning fast.
