Without fail, any article with the word “millenials” in the title is entirely vapid.

I use Gmail every day (sadly) for work, and I still can never tell which icon goes with “archive” and which one goes with “mark as read.” Google’s UI design remains horrendous.
Why am I still seeing smart people concede to the assertion that Twitter’s antogonism toward third-party apps is based on the fact that those apps can’t show ads? Um, Twitter could require them to show ads. Not a credible argument in any way.
Democracy would seem to have a tiny flaw: the whole thing goes a tad awry when a significant proportion of the adult population decides to opt for willful stupidity.
Google Voice’s iOS app has “a new look and feel.” Nice. Now maybe they can add a feature or improve the service in some way, for the first time since 2009.
No! Seriously? Things with computers in them can be hacked? Who knew!?
I’m thinking Apple might want to register itunesconnect.com at this point. There might be a massive risk of phishing attack there which may lead to a massive PR catastrophe. Just saying.
I really love the new approach media companies are taking when they discover I am running an ad blocker: they want to teach me how to turn it off. How nice of them!
Drive like you’ve never seen a car before. Because that’s how everyone else is driving.
The assumption has always been that AI would kill us all with Terminator robots or something. Reality will be far more prosaic, but no less terrifying. Imagine AI-based malware infecting air traffic control systems. Or nuclear facilities.

Check out this tired little guy. (Zoom in. We get seals here too, @Miraz.)
Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines:
…the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps already.
Stephen Levy, Hackers:
[…] hackers generally hate driving cars-the system of randomly programmed red lights and oddly laid out one-way streets causes delays which are so goddamn unnecessary that the impulse is to rearrange signs, open up traffic-light control boxes…redesign the entire system.
Don’t hate yourself. Laugh at yourself, and then try to be a little less funny.
My girlfriend’s iPhone X crapped out within minutes of contact with water while we were on vacation last week. These phones are still very susceptible to water damage, despite Apple’s claims to the contrary.
Badly implemented form validation is one of the biggest and most pointless scourges on the Web today. My phone number is “not valid” because I included parentheses and hyphens, as all humans do? Hey programmer, you strip those characters. You’re a programmer. Write a program.
Nobody ever said the first day back at work after a vacation would be easy. If somebody said that and I missed it…screw that guy.
I make a point of renewing LinkLocker’s TLS certificate manually every two months. The regularity encourages me to audit transport security on an ongoing basis.
There is a common misconception which holds that one is being empathetic when one relates to another’s problem through shared experience. In fact, real empathy entails respecting another’s wishes even when one neither understands nor agrees with those wishes.
One of the three remaining airlines just acknowledged that I have “lots of choices” and thanked me for choosing them.
That was so nice of them.
Now I kind of just assume that any person talking on the Internet is a Russian troll. Things make a lot more sense if you begin with that premise.
Here’s one example of the impact Trump’s stupid trade war is going to have on American businesses, and on your wallet. This is just one company’s appraisal of the situation, but make no mistake: these issues are going to be widespread.
Well, here is a cheery story. These attackers could bring our electrical infrastructure down anytime they like, and they want us to know it.
