Couple others: Home Depot also has a 90-day return window, and can look up your purchase from your credit card number if you don’t have your receipt. Great way to rent an odd tool that you’ll only need once.

I don’t want to sound like some old crazy person, but I don’t WANT my photos in the cloud. I want them on a hard drive (backed up, yes) on our home network that my wife I can both get access to from our separate Macs. iPhoto could never do this reliably. Given G’s mobile/cloud focus, is it safe to guess that Google…

Yep. My grad degree has opened up opportunities beyond that which just working as a designer would have allowed. Although it took me a bit longer to pay it off than I wanted, my career development — and my current gig — wouldn't be the same without my masters degree.

Good to know. Thanks!

Right? This reminds me: still need to swing by the Silean Nebula to grab the Rings of Alune.

Agreed. Looks like Ergatron rates its arms by both monitor size and weight supported.

So, looking at the specs, each arm will hold up to around a 24" monitor, correct? So my Dell 27" is out of luck, maybe a separate arm for that one?

Just having run a potential candidate through an interview loop this week, I have to say this list is right on the money. Every single one of these questions runs through my head as we make our decisions about who to bring onboard.

This is a great suggestion. What I do is whenever I get a raise, even the standard 2+% cost of living raise, I increase my 401K contribution by 1%. So I throw a little bit of that raise back into savings. Depending on your situation, losing 1% of your paycheck can be felt, so absorbing it when you get a raise makes it…

Whenever the National Anthem came on, I had to jump off the couch and frantically shut off the TV before it ended. That sudden switch from the end of the anthem (with the video of the flowing American flag and amber waves of grain) to just static, really REALLY freaked me out.

Sadly, in Mavericks and Yosemite, this option doesn't do what you'd think: new folders still open in the existing Finder window. The only way to get the old standard behavior (i.e., each folder opens in its own separate Finder window) is to hold down Command when double-clicking the folder.

Agreed — one of the most amazingly nonsensical changes to the Finder in a very long time. Why they'd remove a simple option that'd been around *forever*, and not leave the ability to turn it on/off, is beyond me.

UX Director here — thanks for this. I know we've all gotten the "oh, you're the UI guy/gal" in the past, when that's really just one facet of our jobs.

Wow, there needs to be an iOS option like this, since the amount of time it turns down your music's volume is way out of proportion with the length of the "you've got a message" sound. So annoying.

Personally, I'm happy to see the Camera Roll return — the Moments-based organization isn't useful to me, at all. But I also vote for a dark-background Music UI! Gawd, that white is horrendous.

I've found most Home Depots now have Wi-Fi (open, just accept ToS), but they do have a pretty draconian content filter running, so anything that could even be construed as "adult" is usually blocked. Actually had a couple Jezebel and Gawker articles blocked, once.

I love LastPass, but it would be awesome if they'd add two features:

Great to see so much Mass Effect cosplay. Never gets old for me. :-)

Yep, I think it was. I meant to say, "didn't show up a little higher". Lack of clarity FTW! ;-)
