Re:Ebay's new logo on Thursday September 13, 2012 @12:56PM (#4517239)
Why photoshop the logo into images? (like in the gallery). I think that's a horrible thing to do for the brand.
Re:My in-depth OS X 10.9 wishlist on Tuesday September 11, 2012 @09:02AM (#4505153)
I'd say relabel iTunes as iSync, remove the media player from it and build one from scratch, something that's snappy as hell and more modern.
Re:Parallels Desktop 8 vs. VMware Fusion 5: Benchmark Showdown on Tuesday September 04, 2012 @02:28PM (#4475822)

Here's what I'd like to see - A Todo app, calendar and goal tracker all rolled in one, with a clean UI and multi-platform sync. That's all the productivity I need!
COM/XPCOM. Go dig into the Mozilla codebase.

Re:Poll: Do programmers care about FaceBook? on Monday March 26, 2012 @08:28AM (#3756302)
