I agree that github's bug tracker is quite limited (for some reasons that I cannot pin point, bug tracking seems really hard to do: that's the only example I can think of of a fundamental part of any developer toolbox that has no great open source implementation).

As for launchpad UI, code browsing is indeed the worse part, but I find the whole thing difficult to understand. For example, we created a page for scipy quite some ago (https://launchpad.net/~scipy), and still today, there is no hierarchy in the information. For example, where can I download the software(and I do mean the releases, binaries if possible) ? A lot of the UI space is spent to convince me to subsribe to the project, or give me information that I really do not care about if I just want to use or install the damn thing for my users if I am an admin.

Also, stuff like email UI to subscribe/create bug has been horrible for a long time in launchpad(I have not checked recently, maybe it has been fixed).
"Pure CSS". Really? The CSS is cool and everything, but there's some JavaScript going on there.

We've seen this coming for quite some time. Both Google and Apple have very apparent opposing strategies in how they're going to attract customers to their respective platforms. It's almost like watching Mac vs Windows all over again. Apple is shooting for higher quality and high-end customers, while Google is aiming for a higher scale and much wider user base. In the end, both should co-exist and serve their niche just like Mac and Windows.
MacPorts? I was using NetBSD pkgsrc, which does either source builds or packages from the same system. So, you can lock it at a particular source revision/release and make an official package like a .deb, or do a gentoo/MacPorts style source build.
Hmm...It would be interesting if one could subscribe to a personalized feed of some sort. Currently I skim my github feed in Google Reader every couple days. The biggest problem with it is that I watch RVM, which is fairly high traffic. It would be neat if I could subscribe to, say, only tag pushes on the RVM repo.
People probably think that Yammer purposefully makes it difficult when the reality is that 1) departing customers are a small fraction of users and 2) it's difficult to prioritize highly a feature to "close an account".

I'm glad I read this because these concepts can also be applied for gamification to boost user engagement. I was already planning on using some game mechanics, but the ones mentioned in the article are subtly executed which should provide for a more seamless integration.
God, these addresses. I hope that one of the features between now and the actual rollout is letting the users assign much more memorable identifiers like 'username@voice.google.com". Still, the day when Android phones have out-of-the-box solutions for IP calling is getting tantalizingly close!
Maybe he mapped CapsLock to be a control key, like the rest of us. :)
Oh, the problem wasn't with your text--it was with the parser.

There is no way I will sign up for an account on FB for content/to comment on content from other third party systems that are too stupid to have a site that is not sucking from the teat of FB to such a degree that they dont know how to allow either anon or registered commenting.

Angry Birds taught me that the deep gameplay I value does not always make a good casual game. As a current casual and social game developer, I'm always fascinated by casual interest in games, and reading stuff like this really helps me understand why people are drawn to these types of games. It's something I need to be be better at in order to make better games.
If you read between the lines, the authority of his office made it possible (and necessary) to order people around, but he didn't have the experience and training to be charismatic about it--he had not yet developed leadership skills.
This is an unrelated rant, but aargh... what is up with the use of that text-shadow for _normal_ text? It's showing up everywhere nowadays: I don't mind it for headings, but how does anyone find it easier to read for huge blocks of text? And it almost always is accompanied by scrollbars that are super laggy.
