  • Jesus effing christ

    A full page reload just to change the image? ZDNet do you realize how much your programmers suck?

    • Amen

      @jackbond Can't tell if their programmers are inexperienced twits or if they do it on purpose to artificially bump their page view count and ad displays

      Linux powered site and therefore linux programmers working with unusable linux tools, which adds up to horrible experience.
      I think SJVN does the programming when not writing one of his masterpiece blogs about how windows sucks.

  • This page is FUCKING unuseable

    You could have an image that revealed the meaning of life at the end, and no one would ever see it.

      @jackbond Too funny! Instead of "flagging" critiques of your interface ZDnet, how about fixing them? It distracts from every story presented this way.

      @Red_One All the WP7 (all the thousands of) developers can beta-test Mango. It's called reality. You should look into it sometime.
