When upgrading my computer recently, a very fascinating truth hit me: the true test of good technology is how horrible it feels to go back to the old technology.
For example, my new AspireOne netbook seemed only slightly smaller and lighter than my usualy laptop - until last week, when I dragged my old laptop with me on a business trip. I had flashbacks of carrying Steve Junior in my Baby Bjorn.
After using Quicktime Pro for many years, I had the exact same feeling recently when forced to watch youtube videos: how can something so technically inferior remain so popular? One feature in particular made my recent project downright miserable: YouTube has no slider. This seemingly small thing is like a small pebble in your shoe. So I beg my readers - anyone with a contact at YouTube, please add this simple feature. So I can get back to ranting about Facebook :)
