Seems to me a lot of time could have been saved all around by just displaying the blue link.

Hope you’re not desperate…

Usability is important. Like, president choosing important.

For the sake of democracy we can only hope this was a one-off. Thanks to @space36 for the heads up.

Well, this is awkward.

Do I lock the door or not? A prime example of meeting needs that don’t exist.

Last time I checked, Aperture was made by Apple. Apparently even non-mac app store apps by Apple fail the security check – at least we can’t accuse them of double standards here. Also, how about a direct link to the relevant preference pane?

Thank you, lift designers.

What is it with lift designers? This just makes no sense at all – but we are thankful for their continual time and effort in supporting this site.

Bounty towels: good at absorption, not so good at navigation.

It would probably not be hyperbole to claim this is one of the worst sliders in the history of sliders. In the words of @schjonhaug: “This is what happens when the marketing department is in charge of the website”.

At least Apple maps got this right
