Pedestrians jaywalking intersections when the crossing light starts flashing red (and counting down if your city has the countdown lights)? It's amazing how many people think it's legal to step off the curb when the countdown has started.

As far as I can tell, jaywalking is 85% of the congestion problem in most metropolitan areas. It definitely is in Seattle.

Once you're on the run because ATT planted the evidence they decided to frame you with and then anonymously tipped off the feds.......promise you'll use a display computer at Radio Shack or something to let the rest of us know what's going on. And don't waste time asking us to help....you know we won't be able to. Stick to stuff you think we'll find amusing, MEMEable or is sure to kick off a massive Google vs Apple vs MS flame war.

we don't realize how inefficient, poorly designed/coded, and horrible it really is because the speed of the hardware masks it..

The old saw "What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away" is still true. It's just the numbers of Movers and Leeches have changed....There's a few more "Intels" and a ton more "Microsofts".

It's a house of cards that's becomes more and more annoying every week.

Actually, the Start button was a better tablet interface than Metro....and Android and iOS: you could get to anything on the computer with just one thumb. With Metro and the other two OSs, you can't do that without letting go of the tablet.

From the article: "Google continues to innovate in fields it has almost 90% of the market and despite that it doesn’t show any sign of abuse." Oh, please. Google is the single most abusive company it's ever been my misfortune to encounter. I honestly believe that - internally - they have a corporate culture of open disdain for "customers" - a word that's probable seldom used at G-HQ, or when used, it's sort of annoyingly spat out - like a small hairball at the back of the throat. Ask anyone who said "No" to Google's question about whether or not you want to change your YouTube ID to your real name. Google literally harassed, lied to, manipulated and stalked those people. These scummy, hypocritical jerks actually when into my email account, disconnected my "Switch to" account, replacing it with a "Suggested" YouTube Channel account. They're operating way beyond the boundaries of the social contract.
