In China, the user base is its advantage. With the manufacturing skills, they are just Aping now, give it 10-15 more years, those might just grow into another Samsung, Amazon. In fact, last year two of Alibaba’s portals together handled 1.1 trillion yuan ($170 billion) in sales, more than eBay and Amazon combined (Economists - http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21573981-chinas-e-comm...)
True, and sadly LA is more dense than like 95% of the places people live in the US (including "cities" like Houston, Phoenix, and Jacksonville). If they can't make transit work in LA, that's pretty bleak.

Yet after Lion, Mountain Lion, and in a few month the new Mac OS, they still haven't implemented the native scrollbar and bounce scrolling... Mozilla is doing a lot of stuff, but I don't see any focus.

Yes, but this allows you to host your own blog, and presents all posts not just one at a time.
sooo we move the main menu around in completely NON-obvious places every year, just to piss off long time users.

I feel like a problem with UI designers is that once they made something they feel like they have to change it else they're useless. So they change stuff for the sake of it or something.

Real changes in australis:
- tabs around more round.
- main menu move from far left to far right, slightly lower, and has a new icon

arbitrary much? Save 3px?

I can tell you, all the non-techies will be lost (there's no point even arguing tat), and many of the techies will be pissed (you can argue on that, but im pretty sure it'll be a large amount)

Just to state the obvious, in practice over the long term, you've got to be deallocating faster than you're allocating, or something nasty that will at the very least violate your performance constraints will happen.

They have implemented native scrollbars in Nightly, it must just not be in the release channel yet, so it will be out soon.

It's crazy that you would say Mozilla doesn't have any focus because of a few petty features. C'mon now.
Can you try "resetting Firefox"? You can go to about:support in your browser and click on the Reset Firefox button. This will fix most, if not all, lag issues you are experiencing.

For almost all Firefox users, the UI is as busy as Mozilla makes it.
That's a pretty big over-simplification of the case - at least for the tablet aspect of the case, the iPad and the subsequently released Samsung competitor were so visually similar that even Samsung's legal defence team were unable to distinguish between then without turning them on [1].

Apple may have overstepped their bounds fairly obviously with some claims, but the case was not entirely without merit.

> I feel like a problem with UI designers is that once they made something they feel like they have to change it else they're useless.

It could just as well be the growth team, experimenting with different designs to see if retention of new users picks up.
The inconsistency is based around a scenario like this.

Open 4 tabs. click tab 1 and then tab 3. What order do you display the tabs in? Does tab 1 overlay tab 2? If closing tabs don't to the last open tab this now means that the visual stack is not accurate to how the program operates.

I understand the depth but there are better ways to show it that don't take up as much space nor have to deal with issues like visually showing the tab's z-order

Awesome list here. Any of these games would be a great start.

The game 'Container' is surprisingly awesome. The box is deceiving and doesn't make it look particularly fun, but there is a lot of replay value. You have to change so much of your strategy each game due to how others are playing the game.

Good questions. I think that this is a good place to mention that we would only make those introductions to recruiters if you are looking for a job (an option you'd select). If you never selected the option, this would just be a place for you to manage all your work experience and create resumes.

1) We would introduce you to the recruiter based on the type of people they are looking for and your work experience.

2) We do use your work information to find jobs for which you'd be a good fit (if you are looking for a job, that is). If you aren't, we wouldn't make the introductions to recruiters. We don't give anyone access to your information, just make the introduction.

3) Right now, I see a couple ways of earning money. First would be from referrals to recruiters similar to the way a headhunter works. Second might be from charging a small fee ($1.99 maybe) for add-ons... premium templates or analytic, for example. I'm exploring different options and trying to figure out what works best and what each group is willing to pay for.

Zynga does not dominate the Facebook game market any longer. The #1 game is Candy Crush Saga and is from King.com. If you look down the top apps, you see King.com is quite competitive, and a few other people are in there.

And because top apps are listed by MAU, rather than revenue, you miss the mid to hardcore segment that is very profitable. Kixeye and Kabam are in the 9 figures range and growing.

The market is wide open. That's not why Zynga is strugglign though.

"You have to have a car in LA" is little by little becoming outdated. We rented a car for our 3 day vacation in LA and ended up ditching it and taking the light rail and subway everywhere. Even the little shuttle bus up to the Griffith observatory to see the Hollywood sign. And it's only $5 for a day pass. It saved us a lot of time, gas, & parking money. LA's rail services are spotless as well. The only thing that's missing is the density to truly make it a city and not just one big crowded suburb.

The article has a bit of American Bias towards it (probably because it's the NY Times).

Xiaomi have developed their own UI (with some similaroties to Apple) called MIUI which you can download and install on your Android if you wish. They are galvanizing the market in China because they are pushing home the 'China-built, High standard' message. In other words, they are playing the patriotism button and in the main, it's working.

The main issue is whether they can push beyond China.

what trevoro has mentioned is 100% right. If you want just get things running without much efforts and still want to keep your mail server in-house, then go for zimbra opensource edition. Its worth using and will make mail server administration somewhat easier.
In fact now that I think about it there are plenty of areas where UI could be improved.

- master password mechanism

- secure/insecure site dialogs (ALL the dialogs for various cert status)

- RSS

- Sync

- search through a page (thats somewhere copying/inspiring chrome would be a pretty good idea..)

etc.

but no.. its always menus, tabs, and icons from the main window instead..
I don't know that it's so much Facebook ad prices going up (they haven't gone up much really) as it is Zynga having burned through all of the potential cow clickers. When you run a Facebook ad, the price per user increases as you saturate the market, even if the overall network's prices remain steady, due to clickthroughs dropping.

Zynga games are typically low-RPU, mass appeal, which as you mentioned relies on cheap traffic (mostly from other Zynga games.) You can only keep shuffling people internally from one game to another for so long until they all leave for Candy Crush Saga.
When was the last major update where buttons got re-added? Are you speaking from actual experience or just postulating?
Whoa, hey Mr. Nagro, small world :)
No, I mean the relative performance and price/performance between z and Power or z and x86 is not public and never will be, so any performance comparisons between mainframes and normal servers have to be treated as rumor or speculation. This is not relevant if you're actually buying a mainframe because IBM will probably let you try before you buy, but it makes armchair architecture (HN's favorite sport) difficult.
So... if everyone goes to chrome, it means the user didn't pick it up, right?

Because I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, that's what the choice is when you test on release.
Perhaps I should have put a disclaimer in my original comment that I'm the founder of Launch DFW (though now am only slightly involved)... the long term vision is to find people passionate about their own communities and create a network of these types of blogs.

I don't know about that. The new UI looks more like Chrome, and there are plenty of non-techies that use Chrome.
Its not just cultural, but financial, unless you consider tax evasion a part of culture. A lot of Indians don't want to spend via credit cards because the money is 'black', i.e. unaccounted for. This is a big reason for COD, esp. among the business class.
Actually for some reason I cant prefer all that flashing buttons at all, visually its good to have some highlight of what is/will be selected, but I cant imagine messing around with the interface if the UI is like that.

Just swipe over the menu, its simply to much contrasts and far away from being gently to the eyes. I also don't want to imagine that with a darker theme (if it cant be customized).

And again minimalistic and ribbon like menus what was the worst feature introduced in some more or less modern applications (on windows).
I want to see a menu for several reasons (perhaps a long time user habbit) but, please, dont remove that if I dont ask for that. Just noticing the min, max and closing button on the top left(?) of the main window - I really really hope that this is only for preview.

In addition, will there by any chance a way to customize the colors used for general UI elements (browser textboxes, find dialog, titlebar) besides the system one?
For example to allow the use of theme colors over the system ones. Changeable dialog colors would also be warmly welcomed.
Yeah, I guess you've got a point there.

However, if this only applies to different arities, please also compare to the following style:

(defun function (a b &optional c d e)
"Documentation string"
"return value"))

I still think that the function signature is more readable when the doc string comes after the parameters, but perhaps it's just a matter of taste.

The above is obviously not Clojure. But as I commented originally, I just wasn't aware that this is the way Clojure does it.
There is no shortage of money in Dallas, that's for sure. The problem is that currently a lot of that oil/gas & real estate money isn't really comfortable with the high risk nature of tech investments (no hard assets, etc).

The local accelerators (Tech Wildcatters, Health Wildcatters, VentureSpur) are starting to change that by getting those money guys involved, but it's been a very slow process 5 years in the making.

This implies that the only reason for garbage collection is programmer fallibility. However, I think there are some cases where there is literally no better way of knowing when everyone is done with a piece of memory than by checking (closures strike me as an area this can happen pretty quick), at which point the only solution is automated garbage collection - be it provided by the runtime, a library, or written by the programmer for the particular program.

I've been following both ShareJS and Derby because, while I believe that the future of web application development is in realtime 'holy grail' frameworks, I very much dislike many aspects of Meteor, such as disregarding npm, the lack of proper server-side rendering (without the overhead of DOM) and the lack of importance placed on conflict resolution between client writes.

I really want Derby, or something like it (eg AirBnB's rendr combined with realtime, OT models and collections) to succeed, however it really seems like Derby needs more community support and evangelism behind it, because I can't help but get the impression that most of the community focus in this space currently is on Meteor. As far as I am concerned, Meteor is the PHP of realtime 'holy grail' frameworks, as enjoys from just the same kind of popularity through 'worse is better' (where 'worse' is for the reasons I mentioned above). However, without a palpable, visible sense of community enthusiasm, a lot of fence-sitters such as myself are less likely to jump on board.

Also guys please do something about racerjs.com, it doesn't inspire confidence in the project when it is continuously down.
My dad happens to lead the e-commerce division at a logistics company and from what I've heard, Indian Post Office is not a major player at all. A large of e-commerce companies/startups are using Bluedart (now merged with DHL) as their primary logistics provider and tracking is provided as a service to the customers. Flipkart, I believe, runs their own logistics service.

There are many other reasons why people might want to own homes:

- Even if the value doesn't go up, eventually you'll pay off your mortgage and be able to live more cheaply. If you rent, you'll be paying rent (which will probably be steadily increasing) forever. If there's inflation, your fixed mortgage payment becomes smaller and smaller in real dollars over time. And while you're paying your mortgage, you get to deduct the interest from your taxes.

- If you own your home, you can't be suddenly thrown out because the landlord wants to demolish the building, or raises the rent to more than you can afford (e.g., due to the gentrification of the neighborhood).

- In some areas, owning a home can give you access to better school districts.

- Detached houses have more space and privacy than apartments. You're less likely to be disturbed by your neighbors, etc.

- A home that you own is yours to do with as you please. Want to put a pool in the backyard? Sure. Want to remodel the kitchen? Just call a contractor. Want to convert your garage to an office? That's OK. Want to rent out your house while you go on vacation? There's nobody you need to ask for approval.

Off-topic, but can you expand more on this? I only remember reading article after article about how you could pay for everything in Japan using chips in your mobile phone. And article after article of Japanese companies lamenting how they did not manage to internationalize their mobile payment technology. And then the iPhone came along. And then Square came along.

If you are saying that Japan is still very much a cash based society, what percentage of transactions are done in cash and what percentage are done via mobile phones, judging from your personal day-to-day experience?
The Australis inactive tabs don't overlay. Take a look at the mockups. Only the active tab has a background and border styling.
Chrome stacks away from the currently focused tab. If tab 6 of 10 is focused, 6 will be in front of 7, which is in front of 8, and so on; similarly 6 is in front of 5 which is in front 4, and so on. There is a subtle visual lead to the focused tab. If you then select tab 2 for example, tabs 3 to 6 will be restacked for consistency.
What physically matters is the pressure difference. 2atm:1atm and 1atm:0atm are the same -- they both exert 1.03 kg-force per square centimeter of wall.

If you're asking how does pressure change with depth, it's linear for water. The pressure is just the sum weight of the column of fluid above you. Since water is (basically) incompressible, the density is the same at any depth, so, the fluid weight is proportional to the column height. At ~10 meters, it's 1.03 kgf per cm^2 or 1 atmosphere (on top of one atmosphere of air above, for 2 atmospheres total).

It's the opposite for air. That's a compressible gas, so density increases with pressure, which makes pressure an exponential function of altitude. A packet of air is compressed by the air above it, which makes it denser (more mass/volume), so that the pressure below increases at a steeper rate.
If companies had realistic slogans what would they be?
Isn't this the theme update they've been working on for over a year? I seem to have heard word about this a long time ago.
Don't make success a binary thing, imagine it as continuous and incremental.

If you've had no levels of success yet then change your approach. Forget networking or pitching or X factor that shit is almost irrelevant. Find a way to make a profit albeit however small it may be and build from there.

Don't start with an idea that requires critical mass or a community just start with a simple product that you can sell.
This new layout actually breaks the tree tabs plugin. It relies on tabs-on-the-bottom (which are then pushed to the left), and the new layout drops support for it.

Of course, the authors could figure out a new way to do it, but for now it breaks the add-on.
Those bugs never happened to me. I've been using the add-on for years on the beta.
I remember asking my high school's one-man IT department this exact question, and he said that the school needs someone to sue in the event something goes wrong.
> When was the last major update where buttons got re-added?

Not so much re-added as just added. The download button (arrow) for example was added in Firefox 20.

Add-ons also tend to insert their buttons. Or even reactivate the add-ons bar. But it takes seconds to fix.
I completely agree. It's honestly quite hard to believe that they have calculated it to be precisely 80k downloads.
I wish the guy quoted in the article was more specific about features that LibreOffice lacks. Information that's actionable for developers is likely to result in improvements.

Complaints like "We don't like it" just split proponents and opponents of the software into opposing factions and aren't productive.
> How's that tab interface working out?

I've been using it for years, I can't see myself go back to tabs on top. That's why I can't switch to chrome.

Tabs on the left (or right) is how it is supposed to be ! Websites nowadays have a lot of horizontal space because of our new big wide screens. We don't have 4/3 anymore and all the websites were conceived for that kind of resolution (800600 or 1024768).

Also it's more practical because you can open so many tabs at the same time, you can use nesting etc...

I really don't understand why it's still not the default, or at least a native option of the browser.
That's right. Most of these books have a developing country edition (that's what one of my books' cover says). Though most of these economical editions aren't of the same quality as their original counterparts. The printing is mostly black and white and the paper quality is much inferior.
