When using the Mozilla Thunderbird email client, I often run into this scenario. I open the Sent folder and visually scan the list of sent emails, starting with …
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!
