Wow ... that's quite a reaction to my poor attempt of a joke. :) I'm not a web-designer but I do like to keep in touch with this domain. On-topic, I don't fully agree with you. From what I've seen, trying to make a site compatible across all browsers in existence for the past 10 years leads to all kinds of horrible css&html hacks which turn the source into a maintenance nightmare. Plus, it also encourages people to keep using obsolete browsers. Just my 2c.

Swiss Bank Has 43-Page Dress Code 212

Tasha26 writes "The HR of Swiss bank UBS AG came up with an innovative 43-page document (French) to establish fashion 'dos' and 'don'ts' in their retail branches. Among the rules are such things as: 'neither sex should allow their underwear to appear,' perhaps Dilbert was a bit ahead of them on that. The document also mentions smells and 'avoid garlic and onion-based dishes.'"

Thought-Controlled Apps On Android May Not Be Far 72

Julie188 writes "A small PC device company wants to bring thought-controlled apps to the Android market. Mind Technologies (once known by the cute name of Jedi Mind) has promised to make it so. Mind Technologies makes PC devices (a game controller and mouse) that work with the strange-but-true Emotiv headset. Emotiv uses brain waves to operate machines. Although it sounds far fetched, electroencephalogram (EEG) controllers do work, but the products on the market so far are not as easy to use, let alone master, as their makers claim."
