Comment Something to consider (Score 1) 1104

by dpu (#23258760) Attached to: Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork
What I found most interesting in the discussion on Pidgin's site is that both the users and devs considered "arbitrary input resizing" to be a feature and not just a standard UI component. Personally, I consider being able to drag the border of that text input box a UI feature, not a program feature. Why would they override what most would consider the default (and expected) behaviour?

Even the accuracy of the program guide is not guaranteed."

Submission + - Video sharing sites revisited: What do want?

Submitted by

James writes: "We've all used YouTube, most of us have used Google Video, and some of us have used Viddler. A few of us have gotten together and decided these services are missing something, but we disagree as to what. In the interests of preventing massive scope creep, we've decided it would be much better to ask the tube-users worldwide how we should do this. Think of yourselves as managers and tell the developers (us) what to do.

You want MetaCafe with better profit sharing? Tell us! You want YouTube with enterprise-class security? Tell us!

Where do we want you to tell us? Take your pick — email us at ideas-veevu-com, or edit the wiki at http://wiki.veevu.com/. We read everything that comes our way, and we'll try to respond to all of it as well."
