So you need a war to unite the country?

How about the 'War On Corruption'™?

While I applaud creative thinking, I want to say no, thanks.

I hate scrolling to be honest, I lose concentration when everything moves and kind of makes me dizzy.

I like some ways I've seen on the ipad to paginate info without scrolling. No, I hate the pagination effect.

So, in essence, no scrolling, no visual distraction, just show me a page on the screen, then the next, then the next.

Like a magazine.

It is your business, as web designer, to fit content in a page and auto adjust it to my resolution, without breaking the intended relation between text and images, and without distracting me.

Like a book.

Tell me how you enter a QR code on a touch screen. At least the url you can enter, QR code fails, as your argument 'entering them on a touch screen is harder'.

That problem is pertinent to both, so QR codes are still worse than urls.

Your argument is invalid.

Now, if you mean reading the QR code or URL on any device, let me tell you that QR codes are dots, if you misread a dot you fuck up the meaning. So OCR engines can EASILY read a URL and the same rule applies, if they miss a dot, they may confuse an I for an L or a 1, but still easier than a QR code, because 26 letters an 10 numbers are easier to configure in an OCR engine than irregular dots on a square.

URLs win.

I rest my case, your honor.

That's the internet of things.

  |85a3:0042|
  |1000:8a2e|
  |0370:7334|

Or that, if you like squares.

URLs killed QR codes. Get over it.

Easier to read, easier to share, easier to remember.

Mark Shuttleworth. I've seen your balls, and they are big and brassy!

I've been a google supporter for years, until they do something ugly to you, and now that love is gone. Fuck you google, if you don't listen to your users you're doomed to extinction.

You stole my hard earned money in adsense for over a couple of years. All of a sudden you decided to close my account for activity fraud. I swear to god I never clicked a damn ad. My stats show no abnormal visits (analytics from google) just a steady flow of a hundred visitors a day, just ten cents a day in adsense.

But you stole it without any explanation, just that you can't give any info to protect your algorithms and your sponsors.

Well fuck you, then who protects the user?

You stole just $100 from me, but I hope you lose it all. I'll do all I can to see you on your knees.

Fuck you google.

We will never achieve artificial intelligence unless we create a program that can differentiate good from evil, pleasure from pain, positive from negative.

The basic building blocks of life.

If we continue making faster and faster machines at calculating formulas and storing knowledge we will have just that, a giant calculator.

Please, if you want to go postal, don't aim at our kids, aim at the politicians.

Drain your frustrations with those who destroy our future, not those who will build it.

I always wanted to ask these questions to a knowledgeable group of people:

- What if there was a worldwide law about minimum wage at $7/hr?

- How would world economies react?

- Would it end poverty? destroy economies? ignite wars?

- Who is responsible for not existing such a law?

Interesting links?

nReduce is missing a great opportunity.

Competition is always good for the consumer.

'under unusual circumstances'

Hmm...

If I was a language designer looking for a change, I'd go to Yosemite and apply as park ranger. That would be a change.

But dropbox?
