I don’t tag emails, flag emails, or colour code emails. I read them, I respond to them, and I archive them. Weeks later, when I need to reference an email, I search for it.

Kim Schneider Richtig. Ich sehe da auch kein Problem. Aber man kann es sich ja einfacher machen? Oder komfortabler.
Ich würde zB nie einfach meine Mails in einen Archiv Order "wegarchivieren".
Ich ordne mir das lieber nach meinen Kunden, websites oder Diensten. Das macht alles sehr viel einfacher.

Obviously people rip off Apple. It is not news. It’s been going on forever. It didn’t just coincide with the Apple vs. Samsung trial, as Gruber and Marco seem to want to believe. We don’t need to mention it in every article, nor will we. Nor is there a rule that we must. This industry is full of theft, both large and small.

Sven recommended QUOTE.fm Read from blog.quote.fm:

Have you ever found an article that sounded promising and you really wanted to read it, but just didn’t have the time for it? Ever sat on a plane on a boring three-hour journey to somewhere and you already read that not-so-interesting magazine, handed out by the airline, wishing for something great to read?

Ich hab keine Lust mehr, Morgens aufzustehen und Kommentare zu lesen und Abends schlafen zu gehen und vorher nochmal Kommentare zu checken, weil ich einerseits rechtlich verantwortlich dafür bin und andererseits keine Lust auf Gruppendynamische Rituale habe, wo sich einige Verrückte ziemlich schnell gegenseitig in Rage kommentieren.

Sven Die Kommentarfunktion in Blogs sollte sterben.
Facebook, Twitter und Mail bieten genug Ventile, um zu diskutieren oder mit dem Autor in Kontakt zu kommen. Fact.

On a bus, heading home from the city I am greeted by an incredibly nice Russian-sounding bus driver with a smile on his face. About 4 stops later (in the valley, of course) a bogan hops on with his skanky (I assume) girlfriend. (May have been sister. May have been both.) Naturally, he does not have the money for a bus, so of course The Bogan (Henceforth referred to as Shit-Skull) blames the bus driver. Using all manner of racial slurs, loud profanities and general offensive douchbagery, Shit-Skull proceeds to be a asshole and make the entire bus shuffle uncomfortably in their seats.

Schließlich kann man nie sicher sein, ob Wissenschaftler, die von einer "Colgate University" kommen, tatsächlich einen "Kalender" vor sich haben, wenn sie meinen, Zeichen an einer Wand dechiffriert zu haben. Vielleicht lesen die auch aus den Streifen der Zahnpasta die Abfahrtszeiten für den Bus ab oder aus den Schaumbläschen beim Ausspucken den NASDAQ.

Wäre ich die katholische Kirche, ich würde eine Webseite bauen lassen, auf der man die ganze Bibel lesen kann, schön übersichtlich gestaltet, mit einzelnen Kapiteln, Zusammenfassungen, Illustrationen und schicker Typographie. Man könnte einzelne Textstellen markieren und twittern oder bei Facebook und sonstigen Social Networks posten.

As he sees it, the demand is "for something shiny and new," rather than for the console itself, and he's worried that the knowledge gap between consumer excitement and his industry knowledge is going to lead to consumer disappointment.

Sven Amazon will be THE number 1 option for nearly everyone in some years. No doubt.
It'll be cheaper, it'll be freaking fast and it'll offer everything you need. Amazing development.

Daniel Lindenkreuz I don't walk away. I step away.

(Doesn't apply to all projects though, if you're on a tight deadline you can't be that much of a pussy to say you need more time because your sassy brain tells you so.)

Daniel Lindenkreuz Combine great discipline with a healthy agenda and you will magically be able to design everything you want during fixed work hours while not intriguing your private life.

Deleted user Ich versteh die Intention der Autorin nicht. Zum einen wird der Geisteswissenschaftliche Student einfach mal als Norm genommen (Naturwissenschaftler und Konsorten sind nur Launen der Natur(TM)...), zum andern könnte man die Kernaussage des Textes auch in zwei Zeilen zusammenschreiben. Ich finde es schockierend, dass hier bemängelt wird, dass niemand über den Tellerrand hinaus schauen will und alle nur Karriere fixiert sind, während die Autorin es mit ihrem Text kaum besser macht. Für mich zeigt sie hier lediglich, dass "Generation Diplom" (ja, dieses "Über einen Kamm scheren" war bewusst; immerhin habe ich ja durch den Text gelernt, dass man das gerne so macht) mal lieber hätte effizientes Schreiben lernen sollen.
