When I'm trying to do commerce, I find it a better experience clicking on the ad links. If a company is paying for ads, they likely also work on UX of their site too.
Car shopping? the first link is usually the manufacturers link, that's convenient too, and local dealerships. Perhaps that's blackmail though, because the first organic result tends to be the company too.
If people are willing to pay to give me information based on my search, there's a decent chance they have what I'm looking for, that's often a great way to find worthwhile links. This is all simply for when I'm looking to do business though, most of my searches don't apply.
What does style over substance mean in this context? The only thing I can think is design over specs?
That's not a strictly Japanese, or apple thing though. It's what makes an M3 better than a neon srt (obviously other things, this is an extreme example, as they were priced no where similar ).
The iPhone provided a good browser experience, yes, it wasn't 3g, but the browser was great, and there was WiFi. Everything you wanted to read on a phone, you could see twice as much of on an iPhone, calendars were better, text histories were better, maps were better, reading email was better. These are all arguably things of style, but it me for a better phone.
Style is how you get more out of the same substance, and it counts for a lot. It's why pottery is worthless, while others is priceless.
Traditional companies have made is so going with them is not the long term job security it once was. If there's not going to be security, best to go for the big pay off.
It's not the tech geeks that will do this, we'll be happy to have a phone charger and a headphone jack. Or a tablet mounted to the dash, that shares phone data, something that will have a better interface (if sync is any indication, the rental I had with that was like they tried to make the interface suck, 3 layers deep of menu, 2 different areas with the same caption, just to get my bluetooth music to play, oh, and every start, it reset to voice only from bluetooth).
This will be sold so rich non-geeks can have Pandora (or the clearchannel one most likely) radio without effort at all.
The reason touch is so important, is not that it's a better device (though I think it is for web browsing on a small screen that's already in your hand), but because it allows double the screen size. Granted, you can add 20% to phone thickness to get the screen back, and have it giant, chunky, and oddly waited in keyboard mode, or you can give up half the screen for a keyboard.
The iPhone started with the premise "we have the tech to make a good browsing experience, let's find a way to add a phone" (at least that's what it seems like). This was a wacky premise if you did consumer research (it was a solid few years before I stopped hearing complaints about how I want a phone that's just a phone constantly), but it proved to be a clearly superior experience.
Touch isn't the killer feature, it's the enabler of a good screen.
So, what's a good way to protect against password reuse that doesn't cost more cognitive effort on the users than money saved?
Perhaps lock to DoS is too big a problem, though I'd think CAPTHCA a few times could significantly reduce that risk on a large scale (I assume CAPTCHAs still have some use, as I still deal with them regularly, and they dramatically drop comment spam).
Sitename in random part of password is better than not having it, as it should have low cognitive cost, and provide decent protection from password reuse attacks (when coupled with lock-out for bad password).
Agreed, if it weren't for Netflix, I'd drop my cable and just use my phone's hotspot function (2.5 GB free, and reasonable additional use, and all phone based usage is the secret truly unlimited separate cap).
I guess I buy PS3 games too, so it may stick around, but maybe not, $45/month buys me 4GB extra, if I played games online it'd be different though, the latency sucks on my phone, but the throughput is actually faster than Comcast in the evening (I get 20/10 on my phone).
The only real solution to password re-use (site to site) I can think of is requiring changes and making sure past passwords aren't used again.
Perhaps require the site's name to be part of the password (and not at either end), this won't add much entropy, but maybe enough that along with lock-out after a certain number of guesses it could be sufficient.
Two factor authentication, with a different token per site, but short one, around 4 digits, is the only way I can think to have memorable passwords AND site-to-site security. But that introduces it's own issues. Perhaps that plus a long password in a vault (similar to Google's lost my token password).
The problem with an iris I suspect is taking the image of a random iris scan, and converting it to a number in such a way that it consistently gets the same number (in the sense that all data is numbers), but also introduces significant entropy.
You can't just take a picture of the eye, and use that to salt a password over the wire, and if your sending the actual scan of the eye over the wire to be compared, it begins to run into the security issues of a password in general.
What's the argument for treason? I say this because I'm worried that the arguments for treason that people use are so weak as to include both Snowden and Manning.
The collapse in housing (and it's ramifications) were predicted by pretty much everyone since '03 in papers/magazines I read (I don't know names or schools, but ratios of rents to price were already a common theme then). Regulation / deregulation were loudly argued about in the Clinton years. Time went by, predictions did NOT come to be, things got worse, than eventually sky is falling was right.
Cars and appliances seem pretty stable for the last decade, as does housing ( rent ), appliances down a small fraction even.
Many services are the same price too.
Food stuffs are a little more, and some types of energy, but over all, I'd say fairly flat is accurate (car + insurance + rent being a huge part of my budget)
Do real lawyers take pre law? None of the successful ones I know did, but they didn't go to a school like Harvard for undergrad either (but did go to one of the top schools for law). I assumed pre-law was for the types that are the current class of unemployed lawyers.
Who provides you DSL that doesn't slow down at peak? In my area it slows down, and even becomes dead at 830 every night like clockwork (two different providers).
Enlightenment was nice, but it wasn't perfectly smooth. Wayland, by having things render more directly, is supposed to fix this (like Windows Vista, and OS X have). There's a reason why Enlightenment is on the forefront of adopting Wayland.

The Binding of Isaac disagrees.
Great game!
A yellow icon that is quite obvious, and an information button telling you why you got the ad?
It's pretty obvious even at a glance, in fact, I'd say the color that is distinct, and no where else on the page makes it easier to see.
I click on ads all the time.

Gold (vs bread, or guns, or cars, or gas, or pretty much anything ) is not particularly stable.
This.

I read the XKCD linked, and it starts by stating that password entropy is NOT a problem, then goes on to explain why.
I guess what I'm saying is /. editors suck.
Non data plans (in the US) have traditionally been allowed to use data without a fee to send and receive MMS.

I'd be willing to do that, even if I am sad that they threw out the Google Buzz way of social networking (I really enjoyed Buzz).
To actually be able to use my Google Voice number would be awesome.
Does Google voice include texting past sms, or to foreigners yet?
Please tell me yes.

Not Android Linux, or Windows or OS X?
If it's as easy as a regular computer to switch, it's way more than 10% that use chrome or FF now a days (over 50 I think).

Which I assume is why GNOME looks like none of those things.
Isn't a default GNOME screen completely blank? that's not really eye candy at all.
Note, I hate GNOME 3, and love a cluttered desktop, but a lot of people get annoyed by desktop clutter.
