Time goes by, but the fashion for trashing teachers, universities, and education officials (in our case always just one — the minister) never passes. Like, the first are old farts who read lectures off a sheet of paper from 40 years ago and don’t know shit; the second are organizations …

A year ago we discussed the table design of the email client Microsoft Outlook. Today let’s talk about tables in Thunderbird.

McDonald’s copywriters have gotten so fucking brazen that they dared to declare, on big posters all over Ukraine, that in one workday in fast food you can learn “much more than in several years at …

Google’s designers are quietly losing their minds. Today I noticed that in the search results they changed the color of a visited link. Hello, colorblind people!
