I'm not sure if they suck, or are just painfully stupid.

Does anyone know why Google's webmaster tools keep coming back with the same error: http:/ /alt.buffistas.net/: Googlebot can't access your site 14 March 2013 --the space is mine, but the colon after the last forward slash is not. Do I need to nuke it from orbit and start again? I'd rather not.

what do you all think of this phone case? it lights up when you receive calls.

what do you all think of this phone case?

Cool. I mean, I can picture it laying around in a fancy apartment, but maybe NSM in public places. Dunno why.

I like it. I mean, I can see where it would be a nice option over sound and vibration. There are times I wish I had another notification option. I generally just go silent at those times because the noise would be intrusive but find myself checking my phone over and over. Like when I needed to be absolutely reachable but also didn't want to be rude in a yoga class yesterday. I had it on a very soft setting but I checked it constantly. A light would have been ideal. Granted, two other people had their phones on, at full volume and didn't even have the courtesy to go click them quiet when they went off but I totally thought they were rude tools. While I checked my own phone.

Ok- so I hate Feedly as an Google Reader replacement! Is there a way to just make it list the headlines of all the stories so I can scroll in reverse date order with no white space like readers? Am I just dumb? Is there something else?

Sophia, look for the settings on the right, and you can pick "Titles". To get all your stuff rather than just highlight-y stuff, go to [link] (or look for "All" under the menu popup thing on the left)

Thank you!!!!!!

I can tell I am getting old because I can't read symbols that tell me things like the three lines that represented the menu. I didn't even comprehend it was there!

Nah, you're not old -- it's a very new user interface convention that's meant to represent a list, which it could do a worse job of. Rather, it's trying to be a convention, but these things have to grow an audience of both designers and users over time, and it ain't there yet: I've yet to see anyone who isn't a professional interface nerd recognize it right away as a meaningful icon and not just something that happens to be there in the particular site it's on (even though it's been used for a while in some really widely-used things like the facebook mobile apps, or the Chrome settings menu).

As icons go, I rate it better than the totally stupid convention of using a floppy disk to represent saving (huh?), but nowhere near the sheer genius of the trash can icon.

Feedly's little icons are not the most intuitive. I accidentally marked about 60 posts as read when I thought I was doing something else. But now that I've lived with it for a few days I'm starting to like it.
