Not really; the keyboard in the new MacBook is larger than their previous one. They could have kept it about the same and been fine. Alternatively bump the display up to 13" and drop the bezel.
So you didn't want to fill out a form on the developer's website but you had plenty of time to come here and complain? Seriously, a minute of typing your info is too much trouble?
Yes, I had several minutes to give feedback of the sort that most people who had the same reaction would likely not provide. I'm a developer, I want to see other developers get paid for their work. I left this feedback here hoping that it would be beneficial to the developer (and perhaps other developers), not to bitch for the sake of bitching, as your reply presumes.
I'm with you: I was wondering the same thing. Some people are downvoting your reasonable and polite comment voicing a sensible concern. This sort of downvoting activity directed towards quality comments are ruining this site by trying to create a popularity club where conformity to groupthink is enforced through the threat of downvotes.
As far as App store goes, many programs will never be available on the app store. Customers who think that represents a significant burden and want to write long essays about that are not likely to be the sort of customers you want any way.
Dont really agree with the parent's tone, but yes you are completely right. I am a 'relatively' new user and I have noticed this trend with downvotes as well. As far as I think, downvote if you think the comment adds nothing to the discussion, not if you don't agree with it.
The post sign-up confirmation email is proof to the service that you indeed opted-in to their service and agree to receive future emails. Without a confirmation, the service is at risk of being blacklisted for spam.
Yeah, I understand. The email confirmation link just seems like such a barrier to entry. Do you get annoyed every time you have to go confirm your email address? I do.
From my observations, the fastest cash transaction will outpace the fastest credit transaction by a wide margin
Nearly every modern point of sale self-swipe card terminal will allow you to swipe, insert pin, and sign electronically before the cashier can finish scanning your items. The only step left once that has completed is to approve the transaction total with the push of a button. I wish more people were aware of this, and then card transactions would be faster.
I'm not sure I've ever seen one that lets you sign before the cashier is done scanning. Wouldn't that defeat the whole premise of signing "I agree to pay the amount above in full"?
You can do everything up to that point - 'what type of card is this', etc... And many places are going signature-free below a certain transaction size, so I suppose all interactions can be handled in those cases before the 'total' key is hit.
In my experience, you can get as far as needing to hit "I agree to pay" and scribbling on the touch screen.
Entering in/scanning your customer loyalty number and pulling out your credit card and scanning it (and pressing credit/debit) is what I've been able to "preload".
One other neat thing I've noticed is that at my Costco gas station, I can pull the pump out and select my gas type while simultaneously scanning my costco + credit card. I usually try to time myself with the person in front of/behind me to see if I can start my pump faster than them. I usually win :)
All the POS card readers that I've seen (UK maybe it's different in US?) don't display insert card until the cashier has finished scanning the items and pressed total. On the occasions that I have tried putting the card in before the machine asks for it, the transaction usually ends up having to be redone.
I never pay debit, even though it'd be faster, because all bank card reward programs I'm part of only apply to credit transactions. I value the discount the rebates equate to over the time saving of not having to sign for each purchase.
I think people are aware of this but many (e.g. my mom) like to watch all transactions and are wary of swiping anything before they're sure the amount is correct. They assume that swiping is a commitment to pay.
