    Flowers and curves and ponies are all well and good, but they don't necessarily make for an easy to use interface.
    And that is the mindset that gives us so many unusuable design. Pretty pictures != Good Design. Look at Apple softwares like iTunes v the horrible abomination that is skinnable WinAmp
  2. Re:Monopolistic? on Opera Purchase Rumour Control · · Score: 1

    The bad thing is that I although I remember paying for plus 95, it to me was never about the browser, but rather for the stupid themes and icons and probably that pinball game...

  5. Re:iHuh? on iPod nano, iTunes 5, iTunes Phone · · Score: 1

    Because it's crap? Apple wouldn't want to associate their "i" brand with this hack job of a phone, come on, it's just a E398 which has been out for ages with one extra buttons and iTunes loaded, I can do a better job at that duct taping the nano iPod to the back of the damn phone.

  7. GPS antenna, meets faraday cage on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 2, Funny

    How are they going to police compliance though? even if they caught me on camera but my gps didn't register, there could be many valid reasons for it, gps coverage in cities is patchy enough.

    The difference between us geeks and Goths or whatever is that we don't decide one day that we're gonna be geeks and looks cool

  15. Re:Human Greed... on Selling Your Attention to Spammers · · Score: 1

    The mailing list could have a prerequisite for joining in the form of you sending them an email, if you say that theirs is spam, they'll say so is yours and no money is lost. This could work better with a rating system a la e-Bay to guard against fraudulent claims. but who's gonna be the authority?

    How is this different to picking a lock to the filing cabinets?

  23. Ctrl Alt Del on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    Maybe there will be some stupid law that makes keyloggers follow the break procedure, like back in the old days. Then the only people with keyloggers will be outlaws

  24. Re:You reap what you sow on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    I've got to admit that computer in classrooms has done wonders for geeks like me, but the best lesson that I've learnt is that it is best to tackle any problem by firing up word, excel or whatever, but with a blank sheet of paper.

    If used properly, it can makes wonders, have you ever had a feeling of "Wish I had this back in school" but all to often, computer-aided learning degenerates classes into powerpoint lectures
