WholeFoods has it setup well, but that's the only store I've come across that has it. I think it's about the same speed as digging out my credit card. I just wish more retailers would enable it for their machines.

I always thought the rainbow was a nod to the One Step version of Polaroid's SX-70. It had a little rainbow strip that came down from the lens. Now its a gradient? Meh.

Also looks like we're going back to extreme rounded corners again? Square is out? Heh.

On a positive note, I do like the white and grey tone of the app itself. Cleaner and more relaxing than the blue/black tones.

It always seems to be on any site where you have to create a profile, by default it'll be exposed to google.

I really wish there was a checkbox at the end of a registration form that said something like "Show Publicly". I'd wager most people would leave it unchecked.

You're joking right? It's a nightmare and far from perfect. Reading text is an exercise in self-loathing.

In which I can see:

* Text over a lined background. How is that helpful? It's a constant Moiré pattern while you're reading

* Awful leading/line heights.

* Unoptimal character count per line. Best practices is 50-70 depending on font size.

* Tiny type! I have 20/20 vision and there is 11px type I'm trying to read on a 15" laptop.

* Spurious text areas on the right. There's poor organization of text.

* The welcome text is small and lost above the image.

I could go on about the design, but that always subjective.

Curious if they have any fallback for the very few browsers that can't render inline svg.

I could see this being an issue for a highly complex vector shape. But most shapes only consume a few bytes. Compared to an external image or another request for the font files.

They emailed everyone who ever had a login. I got an email about it and I was only added as a user to help manage an install 2 years ago.

I love the comment someone left on that article.

When I eat deep-fried oysters, I am lonely, But they are delicious.

Only Haruki-san can do this without trying. But not without frying.

How is Home Depot a model of "Customer Intimacy". Have you been to one of their stores? If you do, god forbid, don't ever go on the weekend and look for help.

I won't mind if they leave town at all.
