rentzsch: I’ve made peace with mostly top-posting my email replies in the name efficiency. But there are often times when I want to bottom-post my reply to address a specific section. Especially if you use mailing lists a lot you need this style every day. I use QuoteFix to accomplish this.

Tried to equalise some charts in PowerPoint 2007 today … who the fuck shipped this product? Some of the auto-colloring modes work for one chart and fail for another, it’s not even possible to copy a chart and just change the data without loosing style information. Even if you can’t archive everything with a program, reproducibility is one of the most important “features”....

mrgan: It’s like… Like if you asked a friend if there was a Starbucks in his neighborhood and he said, yeah I think there’s one half a mile down, maybe. And you drive half a mile and see a big carwash place, and you park and walk in and ask to speak to the manager. And you tell the carwash manager how unhappy you are with this terrible new Starbucks redesign.

Where is the price?
Burger King (Germany) changed their menu design. Now everything has round corners and some beautiful old 120° shadows. And they changed the size of the price. Can you find it? Yep, it’s on the left, beside the menu items. And it gets more expensive with a slightly shade of red in the row below. That’s real life user experience at it’s best.
