Same here, what I loved about the web was the immediacy. You edited 2-3 files and you were done!

Today I had to work with Angular, this thing is insane. So many files, so many layers, so slow... This thing makes me hate what I do.

I wish web dev took a different direction towards more simplicity.

Segway robot 11 years ago

Meh, I was trying to find an actual usage of this robot. I guess even Segway has no idea what to do with it.

Same here, Yosemite is the new Windows Vista ! I'm finally stable enough with 10.10.4 after many kernel panics, not gonna rush it to upgrade. I'll wait for 10.11.1.

El capitan seems promising though.

I agree, so much useless stuff here. Long gone are the days when Apple produced powerful and exciting new Macs. Now they are catching up and behind... I think my next computer will be a PC again.

I see Dash more like an experiment, it may not be the final product or disapear completely to become something else.

Even if I find this idea wasteful, I think amazon does the right move with just experimenting.

Photos Preview 11 years ago

iPhoto is so slow, I hope they fixed that ! Even on my SSD i7 mbp with 16GB of RAM I'm surprised. My photo collection isn't that huge as most of the stuff is stored outside but it really lacks the snapiness it should have.

I have a Displayport<-->DVI adapter and that thing never works as intended.

Sometimes it won't detect the screen, so I have to unplug and plug it back again. If the screen is off the Macbook thinks there's still a second screen...

They really botched that thing.

Firefox 33 12 years ago

I switched back to Firefox recently from Chrome. I find Firefox faster too.

Chrome is losing focus on what was making it great : ultralight and fast.

I'd ditch Chrome if Firefox had full html5 video support on OS X.

That's why the tips felt so irrelevant.

Last time I checked booking two tickets made no difference, kayak and all are all well known and I hope that everyone checks at least if there's not a cheaper alternative with these. Usually I can't find anything that I didn't know about, maybe it's because the number of airlines is diminushing every year.

I must also add that I hate those people coming with huge bags, filling the overhead bins as advised in the article. There's no room in the cabin, the old lady won't be able to lift it on her own or you'll get the bag in the face because she's not carefull. In my opinion only backpacks and laptops bags should be allowed, the way it used to be (not so old man rant).

Google Keep 12 years ago

If you have some kind of hosting, it's your duty to either code your own Google Keep or find some open source project.

No reason to depend on Google for this kind of stuff. They'll probably ditch it at some point anyway.

That's my experience too, it's mostly basic CRUD interfaces. People say it's fast but that's because it gives you the most barebones user-hostile interface you could have.

The company paid IBM $100k to upgrade a single server and this shit is locked with licences for cores and memory. It's not even that fast.

The problem is they are too deep in it now but this shit needs to die.

NPR One 12 years ago

Broken for me too on the second dot, I can't scroll more and have to click on a dot.

I really dislike this new "Powerpoint slide" presentation trend.

Shit I just spent an hour researching this !

Something was fishy in your inequation here is my result :

3x > 3x+(1000-x-300)

So this means that at x > 700 it is profitable to send empty enveloppes.

From what I can see, it looks like Spotlight is becoming smarter and closer to alfred than ever. It dosen't look like the dumb file finder they seem to present it to be.
