you know all those views on youtube?

This is in Brazil - got to assume there's the same kind of 'phone banks' all over the likes of China, Russia and India?

OK, so maybe it's a problem for those who are a little later in life - but it is a usability issue caused by, well ... no reason.

The problem is similar for the UK's two biggest car-park payment apps - BayByPhone and JustPark - and the issue is that both of their logos are different online and on app ...

Of course the designers [who are unlikely to be later in life] would say web and app icons are similar enough - but that's the problem. When you're in a car park, and it's raining or the sun is shining on your phone's screen and the notice has words and no logo, or the 'web' logo and your phone just shows icons ... which is which? Oh, and the two companies using the same colours doesn't help.

It's a problem that simply doesn't need to exist.

The Rise of the Ray-Ban Meta Creep

Can anyone give a reason for wearing these glasses that is not morally reprehensible? See article.  

or just use google?

 

is time standing still?

Nigh on 30 years ago when I was standing in front of business folk extolling the benefits of this new thing called the Internet, one big positive was that, unlike printed literature, web pages could be updated in real time. Ho hum.

 

more cookie-consent woes

This one filled half the page - and that's about all I can say because it was impossible to scroll down to see the 173 [yep, one hundred and seventy three] third parties and click on the 'icon on the bottom left'. I wasn't desperate to read the content, so left the site.

snappy urls ...

nope, never seen you before

 What do you do to log in if you're already a member?

And yes, I realise the site might have dropped a cookie on my PC last time I was there ... but what if I'm using a different device?

worth considering?

 

Ad spend well spent?

 Does anyone know what this means? I don't - and it appeared on my X page.

hard to switch when you're already there

This one of those 'intrusive' ads [the ones that block the website it is shown over] you must click on - somewhere - to close it. That is bad enough for me to feature hers, but it's not the reason ... 

... no, the reason is that I was surfing on Google Chrome. Ho hum 😏

oh dear, who could have seen that coming?

 

scary ... or stupid?

 

incredible/incredable

How credible is an organization that can't spell credibility?*

better than @noreply I suppose

This is a strange one to me. Why not monitor replies to this email? if nothing else, if someone replies it tell you they've received and read the thing. And why bother setting up the third level domain for 'emails' and then not using it.
