Sure, tags are clearly better than folder trees. But would you tag correctly 1000 bookmarks? Or 10000?
Also if we imagine some person starting bookmark list from scratch, with tags - he has to A) make complete tag system from the beginning (I've tried, it's not easy) or he'll be forced to re-tag old ones later; B) type in tags (or select) every time he bookmarks site.With folder trees I use one click to drag&drop bookmark to the intended place.
Tags are the future but only if someone would be able to automate them completely.
On sets with 10-100 bookmarks type of index system is completely irrelevant - you can even keep them in a plain list and still don't waste time.
"Sure, tags are clearly better than folder trees. But would you tag correctly 1000 bookmarks? Or 10000?"
I would if it were easier to do so.
The extra 2 seconds to do it is the bottleneck, so trimming that is the solution. When I click the star or hit ctrl-d in Chrome (I'm sure it's the same in Firefox), the title of the bookmark is in focus. I almost never change that, so that's useless.
Put the tag field in focus, and make tags autocomplete. That'd put me most of the way there.
Of course you're right -- prepopulating the field with tags other people used would be a much further step.

Which is why my dream bookmark manager has a "download and index bookmarked page" checkbox. Tags become optional - but you can still search for your stuff easily. A small-scale local information retrieval system would be way better suited to how we use bookmarks than manual tags, and we have some pretty awesome information retrieval models for closed sets of data that we can't use on the web.
Never ever buy e-books from Amazon, only physical books and things. Especially because all e-stuff on your Amazon account can be permanently deleted without any option to restore (except to buy it again).
A suggestion for the future:
Implement an optional filter for the ratings so that it will show with five stars the range from 4* to 5*.
4.0-4.2 - one star (1.0-4.0 is also one star)
4.2-4.4 - two stars
...
4.8-5.0 - five stars
This is because most people can't comprehend how to rate generally good things but which are not perfect on the absolute scale. Relative scale is an even harder concept.
This method won't help of course so in the future you'll need to distinguish so people as "experts" (this is a human task, it can't be awarded statistically - by a number of reviews or anything similar). After that implement separate rating for them.
Even that won't fix biased reviews but will mitigate them considerably. The task of implementing good rankings is a very hard one.
EVE is a spreadsheets with a chat. Why people like it? Because everything else is so much simpler and dull (except elves in armored bikinis of course). It's like comparing Lego Mindstorms to a Barby game set. The latter is way more popular though :) , just like WoW and Lineage vs EVE.
This definitely will happen. Like 100% sure. It happens right now, the beginning. And facebook won't be some magic data provider, maybe they'll supply 1-2% of all data if the company will survive for so long at all.
Behavioral prediction will be Very precise. And you won't be able to anything, all endpoints will be controlled - ISP, cell operators, physical stores that sell hardware, banking, payment alternatives (bitcoin etc.). They are mostly controlled now, there is just no such precise and powerful analytical programs.
This won't be end of the world or the internet. Not even close to it. Things just will be different in the future and people would accept them.
My 3GS works identically on v5 and v6. No performance or battery life degradation, no new lags. My friends with 4 and 4S tell that battery life actually improved, especially for 4S.
Neither of us use jailbreaks of any kind.
PS: and as for iPad 2 I'm not sure about battery life, I rarely discharge it from 100 to 0 in one session.
And switch laptop for desktop computer. Reason is - you shouldn't do work at social station, at rest station and at sleep station. You should only work at work station.
Yeah, right. Probably in some other internet. You can't find a site today where there they weren't discussed at least once.
Personally I won't take them without prescription from a doctor. Yes, downsides are pretty obscure and rare but the same are benefits. Based on reviews they are not some magic pills like in Limitless. Closer to placebo actually.
I literally LOL'd at that. You can't throw a stick without hitting a bunch of college students obsessing about this stuff. Is this guy even on the internet?
They are not some magic drug like Limitless, but they are closer to that than to placebos. Do you not notice a difference in your mental and physical state when you take caffeine? Caffeine is a Nootropic and it works, but Caffeine is just the tip of the iceberg.
For me caffeine is also closer to a placebo (I do know that it works, just weakly and randomly for different people). The major positive effect of it I think is drinking 100-200ml of hot drink. I feel the same after drinking coffee or any tea or some cacao mix by nestle. Drinking water a lot is very helpful for human brain, especially in cold and arid offices where we mostly sit without moving.
The answer was - 21... "You know, first we multiply by 2 and then we start to add 3" :) . Perfect "creative thinking" test.
The IQ tests, even if they are valid are still inherently broken, just forget about them and carry on.
