“Because you know what’s going to happen now, don’t you? A fucking supermarket cute-off, that’s what. Tesco will rename its baked beans ‘Orange Boingies’ because a fat three-year-old with too much time on its hands wrote its head office an adorable letter. And then Sainsbury’s will fight back by calling its laundry detergent ‘Unicorn Dust’. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself pushing a fucking bibblekart around a shoppywop to buy numnums for your tummy-wummy. And then you’ll go home and you won’t understand why you can’t stop crying.”

Hey Developers, stop using position: fixed in your documentation!

Hmm I wonder if Campaign Monitor support any other methods apart from Client? guess I’ll just scroll down, oh wait I can’t, the documentation uses using position: fixed. I can’t see any methods below client. *Slow clap*. You basically make the documentation fail on a small browser window. Well done.

Why do I see the same mistake repeated again (beanstalk) and again (tumblr).

“Open plan offices were designed with the idea that people can move around and interact freely to promote creative thinking and better problem solving, but it doesn’t work like that. If you are just getting into some work and a phone goes off in the background, it ruins what you are concentrating on. Even though you are not aware at the time, the brain responds to distractions”

SuperMes, a brand new digital TV show for Channel 4 built and filmed in the Sims 3™.

What makes this show even better is that even those of us making it didn’t even know what was going to happen next. We created the characters inside the game and gave them a nice house to live in, but we didn’t really know how they were going to behave, or what it was they are going to do every day. We hoped they’d all get on okay. We knew sometimes they’d all hate each other. What we hoped was that, whatever happened, it would be crazy, exciting, sad, happy and - of course - funny.

“A product manager typically starts by writing an internal press release announcing the finished product. The target audience for the press release is the new/updated product’s customers, which can be retail customers or internal users of a tool or technology. I If the benefits listed don’t sound very interesting or exciting to customers, then perhaps they’re not (and shouldn’t be built).”
