A Rant: Two Things I'm Tired Of
Posted by Robert on the 13th of August, 2008 at 9:26 AM GMT0. Permalink.Tags: Rant
Recently, there have been a slough of "25 Great Whatevers" or "15 Awesome Ways To Do Something." Smashing Magazine does this constantly, and SitePoint is guilty, too. Many of these articles aggregate links to the same tired sites and tout some little nook of it as very well done. I mean, how many times do I have to look at Avalon Star? Jeeeeesus.

Photoshop Niggles

One thing that has always pissed me off about Photoshop is that not all color picker windows allow copy / paste hex values.

PageMinder, Copyright Infringer

A copyright infringing website called PageMinder ripped off my content (that is, took my copyrighted material without my permission) AND outranked me in Google SERPs for the term domaindesignshop.com

I hate when websites lock browsers out because our site is optimized for blah blah blah.

OMFG Yahoo!

I just went to weather.com to check the forecast, and Yahoo has an ad with sound. It is so fucking annoying to navigate to a page while playing music, then have your web browser blare out some commercial and not provide a mute button. I'm going to e-mail weather.com.
