Re:Walking out of an interview on Wednesday August 29, 2012 @01:44PM (#4449969)
It's very rude if you just leave without fully explaining to people why you want to walk out. Even if you guys are indeed unfit to each other, the interviewers will still feel bad wondering what they did wrong. We are all human, we all want to improve ourselves, so make sure you both have an understanding instead of not giving them any chance like that.

I can definitely see the big difference between lawyer language and make-sense language.

Re:TouchPad 16GB on Sale for $99 on Saturday August 20, 2011 @09:47PM (#2908279)
actually, I think the price $99 is quite fair. Compared to having all the tablets returned and don't know what to do with them, HP now created a super hot products with 2-digit price that everyone wants to grab one, or two, or twelve. Things wouldn't happen this way if the price was $200. True that HP didn't earn that much money back but as a big corporation, HP could afford that and earned something beyond money. Let's keep an eye on this matter to see what happens in the end.
Re:Google Buys Motorola For $12.5 Billion on Monday August 15, 2011 @03:15PM (#2888244)
I'm not against companies using Google flexible UI to innovate the interface but I strongly believe Android needs a good example of consistent user experience. Everything is just too fragmented right now. Just look at system icons alone in any Android phone, they are of million different styles.

With Motorola, Google should try its best to have a phone with everything thought out from hardware to software design.

Re:Poll: Google+: Like it/prefer it to FaceBook on Tuesday July 05, 2011 @10:41AM (#2729994)
I just don't like the Google's Like button, a.k.a. the tiny +1 rectangle. It's just not obvious. It looks almost like a logo and I'm afraid Google is making the same mistake as Microsoft Office 2007 (the big office globe button on the upper left that many thought it's just for decoration). My fear came true when a friend of mine yesterday told me she wish she could 'like' my posted photos. I hope Google can change that button, right now it's just not as obvious and psychologically commanding as the Like button of Facebook.
love it! elegant
