As you can see (from the very pale, greenish message) I am logged-in but I must still login. This is very frustrating.
Apple's new voice feature, Siri, can't seem to find abortion clinics or reproductive health centers or places where women can find birth (as detailed here amaditalks.tumblr.com/post/13513981784/siri).
Shouldn't you file a bug report about this at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html?
My personally BugReport.
Shoo'd with a 100mm Tokina AT-X M100 AF PRO D. Freehand and without flashlight. Not resized.
Underneath the (lovely Sun type 5) keyboard is my laptop (usually under the desk), which controls the right hand screen. On the far left is a Sun machine on its side controlling the left hand monitor. The keyboard talks to the Sun, which talks also to the laptop by using a software KVM program -- either "x2x" or "synergy" depending on my mood and the number of bugs in the solaris version of synergy. Both machines are using the same FVWM window manager, but the one on the left is actually displaying the monitor at work via x11vnc -- also running FVWM -- all running the same config file via CVS. I have keybindings set up such that I can toggle all local FVWM keybindings between enabled and disabled, and they can get passed onto the remote machine on the other end of x11vnc when they are disabled and not intercepted by FVWM locally.
By the time I get back to work in a week and a bit, I should have a video card with two outputs, and a second monitor. I have already experimented that I can successfully get one x11vnc session to display the left hand monitor on the left hand machine at home, the other can display the right hand monitor on the right monitor at home, and x2x will successfully let me move cursor across just like I was in front of the real machine at work! Poor man's xinerama over ADSL!
Underneath the desk on the left is my thesis "filing cabinet". A bunch of electronic junk on the left hand desk.
Not visible is the 1000VA UPS that keeps all that going (and the AMD K6-II when it is turned on, and the TV and VCR (I don't want to miss Dr Who under any circumstance) and stereo (my alarm clock) around the corner) without a struggle. A 19" monitor and a 17". Since that pic was taken, the 17" is now a 19" again, since we fixed bug #348873.
"Complete your Free Twitter Account Signup
1 error prohibited this user from being saved
There were problems with the following fields:
Phone number has already been taken"
I've been trying to sign up and use twitter the past several days, based on recommendations from several friends. In short, the user experience of signing up and using it has been one of the worst of any of new web site based services that I've been trying out. The above is one example. When I tried to add someone from the site as a "friend", the site redirected me to http://twitter.com/account/create (the above page without the error message). When I filled everything in and clicked continue, the above is what I got.
This is a terrible user interface for error handling. From the top down.
1. "prohibited" ? That's pretty harsh.
2. "this user" ? Why are you talking about me in the 3rd person to my face? That's awfully impersonal.
3. "being saved" ? Some sort of oblique religious reference? The page says "Complete your Free Twitter Account Signup". How about saying something about the signup not being completed rather than introducing both a new noun "this user" and a new verb "saved".
4. "There were problems with the following fields: Phone number has already been taken" ? Um, hello? Do you see a phone number field on that form? I certainly don't. This is the kicker. The stuff above is just better copy. This is the worst of the problems. The site is telling me I have a problem, which has no obvious (or even unobvious AFAIK) way for me to solve it on this page. I'm stuck. This is a blocker, a roadblock, a UI deadend. Unforgivable.
5. Don't make it an error that the phone number appears to be taken - explain why this may be happening, and walk me through step by step with how to fix it. Whether I have to claim my phone number again or whatever.

iStat Menus tells me that the current date is both Wednesday the 21st and Thursday the 22nd of October
This is the dialog that iTunes gave me when I launched it while logged into my portable user folder on an external volume.
And then when I pressed OK, it promptly quit. It didn't let me create an iTunes folder somewhere else, it didn't let me choose an existing iTunes folder that it was too dumb to find. Do not pass go, do not listen to your music.
Shall we count the problems here?
To be fair, this is iTunes v4.7.1 (30), so I can only hope this has been fixed since I think iTunes is now up to version 6, but somehow I doubt it because it is one of those edge case user experience problems. I haven't upgraded because version 6 broke one of my iTunes Applescripts that works just fine in v4.x. But that's another bug report.
This just happened today. I was rotating this photo, and the flickr blue/pink balls bounced for a while, and then I got this error message.
Similar to the previous screenshot, the error message presented is not appropriate for a user (I can understand rsp=response, stat=status, and fail=failure, but what the heck is a code 3?). However, evite is old, established and relatively stable (from a feature set perspective). Flickr on the other hand is still quite new (and still officially in beta!), and coming up with new features all the time, and thus the rare (like the only one I've ever seen!) cryptic XML error message is far more acceptable.
Plus, I'll trade a few cryptic XML error messages for cool new features like the Auto-rotate your photos feature. Those kinds of small but elegant touches give Flickr a feeling of clean efficiency that makes it a joy to use.
Of course the irony in this case was that during my trip to Australia I borrowed a friend's Nikon S1, which doesn't sense (nor store in EXIF obviously) the rotation information/orientation of the photo, and thus I've been rotating those photos by hand, which is what resulted in the cryptic error message in the first place.
I'm eager to resume uploading photos from my Canon SD300 and seeing the auto-rotate feature in action. Now if only they had a button there that would go back through your already uploaded photos and perform the auto-rotate for them as well (it could even present you with a confirmation page, just like the upload form, where you could accept or uncheck the photos which misrotated).
This, I think more than anything, is what bugs me the most about Technorati's recent redesign.
Lay aside all the 'it's ugly' remarks for a second (of which, Greg Storey's was clearly the best), and take a look at their blank user icon.
Where Flickr has a neutral smiley face, Technorati has misapproriated the silhouette of a communist revolutionary.
Sure, it's a cliché these days, but there's still a person behind the photo. And that person stood for something. I'll let you draw your own conclusions, but suffice it to say, I think there are unintended associations here.
Please add the ability to select this darkened item to allow me to remove my photo from the group it's in.
It's very easy to accidentally fat finger a group just by scrolling through the list.
Right now, the only way I can fix the problem is to fire up my computer, which sort of negates the portability of a mobile app.
I've tagged this with 'flickr feedback' and 'bug report', which I will do with other bugs in the future so they can be found when you guys are looking for something that needs fixing.
Although, I would recommend starting with the feedback feature. Your users can save you a lot of bug bashing time.
For what it's worth, I think the title should be something like "Conferences in Sussex - Sussex Digital" or some such.
Also I think this page has too much structure - forget the categories and just make the next conference be first.

Wenn man mit kaffeine versucht ein Video aufzuzeichnen (Datenquelle kann eine Datei aber auch ein Streamingserver sein), stürzt das Programm mit einen Segmentation Fault (Speicherzugriffsfehler) ab.
Ich weiß nicht was genau der Fehler ist (keine Zeit/Lust um den Quellcode durchzulesen), aber ein Seg.Fault könnte z.B. durch einen Buffer-Overflow verursacht werden. Wenn dies hier der Fall ist, könnte über diesen Bug Fremdcode auf den Rechner ausgeführt werden.

After struggling with Yahoo blocking me from this Flickr account, I tried many times to reach Yahoo. None have worked, as of this posting. But this really took the cake - I filled in a bug report, and got back a blank screen. Great user experience there, folks. Fine way to reward users who actually take time to communicate with you.
Oh, I was using Firefox on XP.
Given the previous egregious DiskUtility math error, I shouldn't have really expected this to work, but I figure I should document it anyway.
My iBook G4 has the largest BTO hard drive, the so-called "100" GB size. This really translates into more like 93 true GB, but we'll forgive that since the practice of inflating drive capacities is an accepted market practice across vendors.
I tried to partition it into the following sizes (for performance, security, and ease of reinstall reasons)
23GB (23552MB)
4GB (4096MB)
4GB (4096MB)
20GB (20480MB)
6GB (6144MB)
subtracting those from 93GB gives a remaining estimate of about ~36 GB (37027MB) for the sixth partition.
However, DiskUtility gets the math wrong and computes 25.91GB for the 6th partition.
This pretty much sucks. I recommend against using MacOSX DiskUtility for partitioning drives as it fails at simple arithmetic. If it fails at simple arithmetic, can you really trust it with properly formatting and partitioning a disk?
But then what else can you do to partition a disk?

The message says 'modified' the save button says 'Saved' - which one is true?
This doesn't engender trust in the application.
I was trying to use DiskUtility to repartition my recently repaired iBook G4's freshly reformatted drive, and when typing in a few numbers for partition sizes, somehow when auto-sizing the remaining partitions, DiskUtility screwed up big time.
That's not a typo - that's a bad-matho that you are seeing.
"-8,422,475,... Bytes" is what DiskUtility came up with for the size of the 4th partition. I'm not sure what it means for a partition to have negative capacity so I'm pretty sure this is a bug.
This is only the most obvious indicator that DiskUtility, or rather, the programmers that wrote it, can't do math.
Damn this bug has occured again. Here's the bug report. It's not a show stopper. I think it has something to do with the time I leave the browser open, then select an up arrow to increase the value of a comment.
What I'm doing is out of the bounds of normal usage (leaving a window open for a long time then coming back and voting).
* What I expected
- I can go to the news site.
- Select a news article comment link ~ news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=pdDhZIa58e
- Leave the link for a period of time.
- I read a comment by a user & wanted to increase the vote on the comment by clicking the up arrow.
- I used the mouse to select the up arrow, click it.
- The numerical value should increase by one.
* What I got
- I went to the news site, news.ycombinator.com
- I selected to read the comments of a story and clicked the comment link. In this case ~ news.ycombinator.com/x?fnid=pdDhZIa58e
- I left the page open for a long time (couple of hours)
- I clicked on the up vote arrow for the top item.
- The result is what you see on the image.
- When I reloaded the page & repeated I could increase the vote on the selected comment & it worked as I expected
* How I can repeat the bug
- Go to the news site, news.ycombinator.com
- Select a comment url with your mouse & select it.
- Leave your browser for a period of time. (I left it for at least 2 hours)
- Pick any comment, click the up arrow to increase the numerical score of the item
- A similiar error should result.
Can anyone repeat this?
