ZDNet’s 10 Most Annoying Programs on the Internet
Interesting and depressingly-true article:
The Internet has brought us many joys. It’s rewritten the rules of business and pleasure.
And pain. For it allows what may have seemed like bright ideas at the time (‘let’s use it to make sure our customers have the latest software’, for example) to turn into a stinking pit of misery — usually, but by no means always, after marketing gets its fangs in.
Here are just ten of the guilty parties who try to do the impossible: to make us hate the internet and wish it had never been invented — and who very nearly succeed.

“Best Practices…” really works. Sorta.
A few months ago, I wrote an article called Best Practices to Keep your Inbox, Voicemail and Mailbox Free of Solicitation to help [don]line readers rid their mailboxes and email boxes of spam. This week, I received another confirmation that those practices work well and wanted to share it with you.
Flash File Uploader v3.1 – File Name Rewrite
A number of posters on Donline have left comments requesting that the Flash File Uploader automatically replace file names with single and double quotes to alleviate the problems that derived from the uploader’s javascript functions (props, complete, etc.). The changes include file slash-stripping in the FLA (new function on lines 63-71 and calls on 93 and 114) and updates to the index.php and upload.php’s printing of file names, confirmation/error divs, and read-out of the GET string provided by the Flash.
As a result, some minor modifications to the Flash FLA, index.php and upload.php were made. I haven’t had time to thoroughly test this, but feel pretty good about it being solid. Regardless, I’m requiring all users of the scripts to still read and accept my disclaimer before proceeding.
Comments and feedback always welcome. Thanks again, Mike, for the assistance.

Why logo design does not cost $5.00
Great article by Aussi Designer Jacob Cass about identity design budgeting and understanding of fees. Here’s a little taste:
Logo design in today’s world is totally under rated. People do not understand how important a good logo is and how valuable it is to their business and this is why I am going to outline some very important facts telling you exactly why logo design should not cost $5 and why your logo is not something you should take lightly. In broad terms, I will do this by comparing “cheap logo design” to “professional logo design” and I will outline the reasons why professional logo designers do not charge such low fees and why you should invest in a professional logo design.
