duqee | 13 years ago | on: The Headphones Rule

Saw this as a funny meme a while ago, share it around. As for the need of a website with this on i'm not so sure its worth the domain cost to create this. Unless I am missing something.

I thought this would be some cool project that detected my headphone jack input and play some music or a error message if not detected.

duqee | 13 years ago | on: A New Look for Facebook

Really love this design, it is eye candy, maybe not very user friendly for most. Reminds me a little of the new MySpace design. One thing I did notice about this design, you have not added any space for advertising space. We all know how much Facebook love to ply our feeds and right hand column full of sponsored ads these days. If this was seriously a option for Facebook (which i know is hypothetical) they would first look at how they can montenize from this design.

duqee | 13 years ago | on: Poll: What are your primary motivations for doing side projects?

Voted for Fun and testing new technologies, but like someone mentioned before, it is the creative control of a project. Not ruining a perfectly functional and UI designed application or website and have a client have an opinion that changes the whole dynamic of how it works. Reminds me of the oatmeal comic about the client and the web designer.

I think these look great! good job, I don't think you will have many people not knowing a button is a button, if you added a 2px raduis on them you would look the same as gmail buttons and don't tell me people don't know they are buttons too?

Hope this keyboard comes with a simple 1 click shut down hot key for desktop versions, 4 clicks to shut down my PC in Preview told me that Windows 7 will be a strong runner in desktop OS for a long time yet. Mouse looks dreadful too.

duqee | 13 years ago | on: How did we come to believe saturated fat and cholesterol are bad for us?

Fruit is high in natural sugars, like anything you put in your body over consumption of more than your body needs or can handle will be stored as a fat for later use. The body is good at converting the natural sugars in to glycogen for muscle fuel. The problem is people are not using as much muscle movement (desk jobs - i'm in the same boat during the day, but I make sure I exercise in the evenings)to use up the glycogen to replenish the muscle with the reserve fat stores.

I agree on your first point, however I find your second comment an issue, with Facebook your friends personal details are already entered. With Paypal, you send money to people who already have an account, Well that is my understanding of this. But again the data is already inputted. Since this is such a new website building up a user base from sign up would require you to invite all your friends to register so they have the details neeed in the system to send such a gift. Correct me if I am wrong.
