To start with, I can't get it do anything. I enter my city and dates, click "show me concerts" and then nothing. Maybe you're not handling zero results properly or something?

Cool idea.

EDIT: Remove comment on quotes, got confused and thought it was you guys down there, since they look so alike.

Not everyone has these demands and well.. cares this much, to be honest. I would say that the majority of web browsers (the human kind) simply don't mind the different fonts, and colors and what not, it's part of the experience and who the hell even knows what CSS is?

This is of course obvious to all of us, and probably to this author as well, but I felt like I had to point that out.

Strange.

Me and you have very different ideas on how to spread knowledge about drugs, let's just agree on that :)

That sentence is very strangely put together. Of course knowledge is power? That doesn't mean this article wasn't visually annoying. Subjectivity, you know.

Ok we get it, Bloomberg, you are writing about drugs. Jeez..

YAAAY!! See, some complaining on hacker news and BOOM - progress. Your welcome.

Btw, all they have to do is change two lines of CSS.

.html5-scrubber-button {border: 0; width: 1px;}

But whatever, let's not risk anything here ;)

"resistance to changing too much on the interface in order to not mess with success"

Oh my god. I see. Thx for the inside info.

Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, that seems to be the only option.

Right. Jokes aside, I'm currently using a pretty new MBP. Still not understanding the problem here. How is the circle a good idea? There must be some technical reason for why they went with it. I can't imagine anyone testing it out for more than 5 minutes before thinking "Yep, this clearly sucks".

Try doing that on a touchpad(is that the word?). First when you click the circle, it moves a couple of cm, then you have to try to move your fingertip slooowly towards the time you want to start from. I mean, come on people... what are we doing here?

You should make a really dramatic video where everyone in the team is presented in a chair, cutting between closeups of their face and details of FormFiller's user interface, while telling the story of the product, how it came about, how design is what really matters the most and how you will change the world with it. Jokes aside, cool idea :)

I believe hello world in ruby is even shorter than python (if that is what counts as a measurement here), since you can just use "p" as short of "puts", so:

p 'Hello world'
