Me in response to a post in forum:
User-friendly software must not only allow user to do something, but also prevent him/her from doing something wrong. This is one of the points of user-friendliness that a lot of developers forget about.

Seems like I’m only posting offtopic here 
Well, I’m only CSO (oh, CSR), what do you expect?
For all the Fridayers out there, check out this collection of 79 flash games, some great, some even greater:
I personally recommend “Toon Crisis” (row 6, column 8 ). Great work from Sony.
PS Yeah, and don’t forget to check out www.purescore.com! I’ve got 55 (hey, it used to be 31 a year ago; getting older, I guess). How much have you got?

Thanks God it’s Friday (

. For instance, like Sepultura - Refuse(Resist) with slightly altered lyrics by these kids:
The kids (called “Gauchos”) also do other rock covers, check out here.
PS I want a Pikachu t-shirt too!

Signal vs Noise has Fireside Chat with Seth Godin and Mark Hurst. But the best quote is from Jason Fried (37signals), moderator of the chat:
I continue to believe the reason more bars aren’t raised is because people don’t think it’s sexy to execute on the basics beautifully.
Exactly!

So, Windows Vista has been released yesterday. They even have a limited “Bill Gates Signature” edition (+$10). Quote from Amazon:
Get this limited-availability Signature Edition signed by the world’s richest man and own a little piece of history.
Anybody knows who is the world’s poorest man? I’d like to get his signature and put it on BlogJet. I may even lower the price for this limited edition 
.
Anyway, just a reminder that BlogJet 2.0 works great under Vista.

A quote from a troubleshooting guide for a notebook from one world-famous Korean computer company:
9. I cannot hear sound through the headphones. – Check if the sound is muted in Windows. – Turn the volume up. – Replace the main board.
PS. Guillotine
