  1. Re:Yeah, but when will they make a larger iPhone? on WWDC Sells Out In 2 Minutes; Ticket On eBay 45 Minutes Later · · Score: 4, Funny

    Having hands that one of my kids once told me resembled bear paws... oversized and clumsy, something about the same size as the Galaxy S3 would be ideal for my purposes, because I've always found the iPhone display to be unusably tiny for anything involving complex interactivity (such as texting, for instance).

    Puny human iPhone make Hulk sad.

    *Actually* preparing for a zombie apocalypse should get you placed an some other lists as well.

    I'll tell you what I'd do, man: 10 internet connections at the same time, man.

    "Yo, Baskerville, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say Helvetica is one of the best fonts of all time."

  9. Re:Yeah, but how do you measure 'Quality' on Bad Software Runs the World · · Score: 2

    There are ways to determine quality. One pretty standard way is to count the number of bugs found during testing each phase of development (design, coding, unit test, product test, integration tests and after its in production).

    Those can be valuable metrics, but finding and fixing a lot of bugs can't improve the innate quality of the item under development/test. In other words, you can't test quality into the product.

  10. Do they discuss.... on The Google-fication of Yahoo! · · Score: 1, Funny

    ... security measures at these all-hands meetings?

  12. Re:Successful ad campaign is successful on Critics Blast Apple's Cheesy New Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    but if apple had filmed a turd for 20 seconds and published that as an official advert it would have the highest viewcount on youtube - however I really doubt that would mean it's a successful advert for them in building of their brand image.

    People would have said they liked the new fully cornerless design and swirly textures. Brown is obviously the new white (or black) and you have to be impressed by the new smell feedback technology. It's soft and warm to the touch as well, making it comfortable to hold.

    I mis-read "cornerless" as "corn-less."

  22. Re:PeopleWare Strikes Back on Mobile Workers Work Longer Hours · · Score: 2

    What? People more productive?

    Why? They are only: - away from noisy cubes. - away from hallway meetings. - saving time from a commute. - saving aggravation from a commute. - a few feet from their private bathrooms and break-rooms. (Not several hundred feet down a long, busy hall.)

    BellSouth (now AT&T) also discovered a productivity boost among employees allowed to telecommute during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

    The first two items are total productivity killers for me. I can't count the number of times I've had to put on headphones in an attempt to filter out co-workers' talking. Now if I could just get people to use complete, understandable sentences when they IM me, I'd get even more work done.

  23. Re:Dumb question... on Yahoo Includes Private Key In Source File For Axis Chrome Extension · · Score: 1

    Cert has been revoked according to above notes.

    So, no, it already doesn't work. It just shows someone truly had a bad day at Yahoo yesterday (and probably before that as well)/
